Halo 3's Hayabusa Armor - Image 1


Master Chief is not exempt from having his very own happy Halloween. Even Spartans get to play dress up too, y'know. Halo 3's already been released, and the talk of the town now is the Hayabusa Armor. It's been causing quite a stir online. How do you get it? Simple. Find all of the skulls (you'd have to, anyways, if you want to unlock all the Achievements).

The armor is named after and inspired by Ryu Hayabusa of the Ninja Gaiden series. The name of the armor and what it looks like is evidence enough. It's a bit of a wink at the audience who've been able to spot the Easter eggs between the Bungie Studios and Team Ninja basket.

Remember how a Spartan soldier was an unlockable character in Dead or Alive 4 - where Ryu himself co-starred in? Yeah, consider this Halo 3 Easter egg a shining example of how developers give a friendly "Hello!" to other developers.

...but still ninja armor nonetheless. Wicked.
