Just two weeks into the latest update, Operation Shattered Web for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve has announced via a tweet a new light-hearted Halo-Themed update. A Halo Sticker Capsule will now be purchasable in-game containing lots of Halo-Themed stickers.

The Halo Sticker Capsule can be purchased via the Panorama UI main menu for $0.99 each capsule. Each capsule contains randomly one sticker from the set of 17 stickers. Of the 17 stickers, 10 are of paper rarity, five of holo rarity, and the last two are foil rarity. The two foil rarity stickers are the iconic Master Chief Spartan Helmet and the iconic Halo Legendary symbol.

Additionally, the collaboration with 343 industries also includes a music pack for owners of the Master Chief Collection. Users who have bought and played the Master Chief Collection will be receiving a Halo Music Kit in CS:GO. Although Valve remains unclear as to just how long played refers to as to earn the Halo Music Kit, we're going to have to wait to find out as Halo: The Master Chief Collection will not be coming out until Dec. 3.

follow-up tweet by the CS:GO Twitter account captioned "A sample:" appears to tease the Halo Music Kit. Followed by another tweet featuring, even more, Halo Music playing ominously in a post-plant situation, and finally, a reply by the Halo twitter account captioned: "Let's make music together. You bring the stickers, we'll bring the stickies."
