"OFFICIAL HALO 2 THREAD"

Sorry but i'm p***ed off at Halo 2 littering the Xbox forum. So i'm making yet another one (sorry) which will be used for everything Halo 2 related such as:

Halo 2 Questions
Any Halo 2 Links
General Halo 2 chat
Your Opinions on the game
You can even set up Xbox Live games with people when the game hits the shelves (whooppee)

And I will post any and all current info on Halo 2

P.S. Please use this as the main HALO 2 TOPIC forum so hundreds of 'halo' thread don't clog up the, erm 'wonderful' Xbox forum

Danke

It fires slugs. :-S

The Mid-Ship map sounds awesome if it's like the level in the ship on Halo then I expect great things.

P.s. Agreed.

That would be awesome. They said at E3 that they'd successfully recreated the Halo multiplayer experience, but on Live, and 4 players on one machine is the obvious focus for Live play as that's how most people play it at home. Ooooooooh baby!

P.S. If Anon is wrong, we get to stone him.

Hmm.. very nice. Covenant sniper rifles; excellent. Glad I've got a preorder now.

With Halo 2 only 87 days away, gamers are ravenously devouring every scrap of information Bungie makes made public. However, they are even more interested in what Bungie is keeping secret. So when the alleged beta-test leak appeared on the Xbox forums, Master Chief wannabes went to condition red. It described three new multiplayer maps: "Zanzibar," the factory shown off at E3; "Mid-ship" which takes place inside a Covenant Battle cruiser; and "Ivory Tower," a greenhouse filled with elevators.

It also outlined the new weapons in the game, including: the new SMG ("this little baby packs a punch"); the Battle Rifle, which can be used to snipe from afar or up-close as an assault rifle; the Covenant beam rifle ("equivalent to the human Sniper Rifle"); the Brute Shot ("shoots grenades that bounce around"); the hard-to-find Covenant Carbine ("the best gun in the game"); and the Energy Sword ("don't mess with the best 'cause the best don't mess"). The leak also killed some rumors ("You CANNOT duel wield plasma swords…There IS NO DIFFERENCE aside from appearance between Spartans and elites in MP.")
But veteran Halo fans will be most excited by the following tidbit: "Halo 2 will support four people on one Xbox for LIVE play. All at the same time." But is the leak accurate? Given the fact Microsoft pulled the original from the Xbox.com forums, the answer is almost certainly "yes."

Wrong, playable demo at Gamestars Live and possibly something happening with OXM around the 2nd September. In the US it's the 24th with something to do with OXM US on the 24th August.

Edit - wrong topic, for the ilovebees.com thingy, ah well.

Hmm.. I kept clicking the cartoon of the bee on the left and it kept loading a new page, each with different messages, here's one:

"SURPRISE!

Look up and smile, honey.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!

Got the drop on you that time, sweetheart.

Opening shot of my search and destroy. I'm going to know everything about you. Where you live and what you buy, how you think and who you love. Know the enemy.

Wierdo :-)

Nope. The only demo is the E3 one that you watch. I think it's the first level (full)

To be honest i had forgot about the whole ilovebess site and the Halo 2 hype...
