Halo 2 is the sequel to Halo - the best-selling Xbox game to date. Halo 2's plot sees Master Chief and Cortana returning
to Earth in an attempt to stop the onslaught of the Covenant, a terrifyingly aggressive alien civilization, bent on the conquest
and destruction of any species that dares defy them. Master Chief will be called on to save the greatest prize in the Human
colonies - Earth itself.
The sequel includes many of the features players have been begging for, including all-new graphics, new environments and
locations, new weapons, vehicles and full support for Xbox Live multiplayer action. Downloadable content should ensure that
the game continues to entertain and involve players for a long time to come.
New features like dual-wielding, destructible environments and vehicle boarding change the Campaign and Multiplayer modes
dramatically, while still retaining the core gameplay that made Halo an Xbox favorite. The highly involving game plot also
features plenty of twists and surprises. Halo 2 was scheduled to be released worldwide during the week of November 9th, 2004.

fear no enemy.
Bent on Humankind's extermination, a powerful fellowship of alien races known as the Covenant is wiping out Earth's fledgling
interstellar empire. You and the other surviving defenders of a devasted colony-world make a desperate attempt to lure the
alien fleet away from Earth. Shot doen and marooned on the ancient ring-world Halo, you begin a guerilla-war against the Convenant.
Fight for Humanity agianst an alien onslaught as you race to uncover the mysteries of Halo.

pistols, alien plasma swords) to the fierce (rocket launchers and flame throwers).

gunnery position of a variety of powerful vehicles. Vehicles range from stolen Covenant flyers & hovercraft to Human buggies,
tanks and more.

Covenant in dozens of single player missions and multiplayer battles.

many objectives - attack enemy outposts, raid underground labs for advanced technology, rescue fallen comrades, steal alien
vehicles and weaponry and snipe enemy forces.
