Counter-Strike has shocked the world by adding a surprise Halo sticker collection to anyone who buys The Master Chief Collection on Steam.
CS: GO revealed the collaboration in a Twitter post on November 26. The collection includes multiple Master Chief helmet stickers and a Spartan logo.
Hilariously, one of the Master Chief helmet stickers is referred to as “Mister Chief” and features a cartoonish caricature of the Microsoft icon.
“Today, we’re excited to ship the @Halo Sticker Capsule in CS:GO!” they said on Twitter. “As a bonus, users who purchase and play The Master Chief Collection on Steam will receive an exclusive Halo Music Kit in CS:GO.”

In a reply, the Twitter account posted a sample of the classic rocking Halo theme in-game, and it shockingly fits the tone of Counter-Strike quite well. While it’s unlikely to be used in tournament play, it will surely be a mainstay of streamers and more casual observers of matches.
