There's already tons of footage of Zanzibar already available.
I'm sure some of the really nerdy freaks have got schematics to the level already drawn up and have got their attack routes and vantage points planned to a tee.

Oh, you're not allowed to film inside the bunker either, which is crap.
No harm in trying though.

Not nessacerily.
All we need is someone to go in there with a videophone or something, and record your game session, come out, upload it somewhere and spread the experiance to us all!

Queue for 2 hours and get 5 minutes play on Halo 2?
HA HA
What a waste of time.

What a waste of time.
After browsing the OXM fora, I have found out the following:
-You only get 5 minutes game time.
-10 people are taken into a 'bunker' where the pods are lined up, 5 per side.
-The game is Slayer, although apparently the colours of the characters would suggest it's Team Slayer when it's not.
-Dual Wielding reduces accuracy as expected, so provides no real advantage but coolness.
-Response time problems when trying to mount a vehicle or lob a grenade (could be down to LAN setup)
-'Shoot-from-zoom' for Pistol has apparently been removed (or is due to be)
-The guy who said all this got to the queue at 10:30 (30 mins from Show opening time) and queued for 2 hours to play.
-He said it was worth the wait though.

Is it limited to one game only, or can you blag a few goes before getting booted off?
I'm assuming they're demoing Multiplayer System link - how about voice comms - can you talk to your teammates or will you have to shout at them from across the stand?
*sneaks an extra question in*
Not related to Halo 2, but someone (might have been you) mentioned you could buy Burnout 3 from there- is this true?
