Yes and yes. As of September 2003, the projected release date is "Spring 2004", but the most-recent Official Xbox Magazine had a nasty rumor about a possible delay to "Summer 2004". For a glimpse at what Halo 2 may contain, take a look at the PC version of Halo. You want to be able to fly a Banshee around in multiplayer? You got it. You want a flamethrower? No problem. A rocket turret on the Warthog? Check.

Halo 2 is the sequel to the 2001 'Game of the Year' multi-million selling Xbox game. Which is widely recognised as one of the greatest First Person Shooters ever made.

A In a nutshell, Bungie considers cheating to be the act of manipulating or interfering with aspects of the game or networking to give yourself or your team an unfair advantage. The exact methods and cases will vary as people invent new ways to do bad things. Our team is constantly monitoring the latest exploits and issues and will be reacting as necessary. Common examples of things that will get someone banned from Live play include "standby cheats" (i.e.

Microsoft is keeping all it's cards close to it's chest in this matter, it is completely unknown if we shall see a Windows version or not, a lot of people assume we will, but as of yet nothing is official. We'll let you know if any changes are made.

The "new" maps (ones that came with the multiplayer map pack and aren't on your Halo 2 disk) are stored on your xbox's hard drive in E:\TDATA\4d530064.

No. In order to modify Halo 2 you have to void the warranty on your xbox and install 3rd party software in order to either "softmod" or "hardmod" your xbox.

For the record: HBO is completely non-profit. More than that, it's non-income-generating at ALL. We accept no advertising, we offer no subscriptions. All of the money to run this website (and it adds up to a significant amount) comes from the pockets of staff members. There isn't a lot left over for stuff like clan sponsorship - sorry.

HBO will stay HBO - just like myth.bungie.org covers Myth, Myth II, Myth III and marathon.bungie.org covers Marathon, Marathon 2, Marathon Infinity. We'll probably set up filters so that you can view only Halo 2 info, if you want (or Halo info, or Halo PC info) - check the Screenshots section for one way we might handle this.

Yes and no. For the "new" maps (ones from either map update) yes. For the "old" maps (the ones originally on the Halo 2 disk) you can either have Halo 2 on your hard drive or use a disk. However most users prefer to story their game on the hard drive so that they don't have to burn a new disk whenever they want to change something.

No, any other accounts on your xbox will not receive any bannings unless you sign into live with your Halo 2 modified.

No, you will be banned within 6 hours of sign in or if you sign out. It doesn't matter if you go into matchmaking or play any other games, the countdown starts the second you sign in.

Yes and No. You can sign onto Xbox Live with the Halo 2 disc files on your hard drive, but are running off of your disc. HOWEVER, if you launch and are running Halo 2 off of your hard drive (AKA you started the game through the "Games" menu in your dashboard) then you will not be able to get onto Xbox Live and you could possibly cause your entire Xbox to be banned from Xbox Live permanently. The SLR McLaren is the top of the Mercedes [sport] line.. they've spent millions on it.

On February 9, 2006 Microsoft send out a press release that a PC version of Halo 2 was in development. (press release)

Yes. At this time, Halo 2 is going to be exclusive to the Windows Vista operating system. You'll need Vista to play this game. Don't expect it to come out for any other OS anytime soon.

Hmm - a quick run down: Graphically, the game will look better in a higher resolution. There will be new maps exclusive to the PC version of Halo 2. There will be a built-in map editor and modding system. The aiming system has been changed to balance the mouse and keyboard input devices. More later.

You need to get into Control Panel, Power Management, and turn on APM (Advanced Power Management). If that doesn't work, check out this website here. There could be an application request which you have to attend to. Check the system tray, unhide all the "inactive" icons - clicking and opening each of them.

Again, Bungie has said nothing yet, but here's hoping they change things. Speech in Halo 2, in my opinion, doesn't work terribly well. Enemies can always hear you within a given radius, even through structures, while the interface requires you to specifically signal that you want to communicate to remote teammates-- and even when you do so, nearby enemies can still overhear you.

I have some extra bandwidth to spare, so I was looking for some info on how to donate mirrors for the content.

Inside of /E/TDATA/4d530064/ there are two folders: $C and $U. $U is for the AutoUpdates and $C is for the content. The simplest solution is to have a Mimesis version of 4d530064 and a LIVE version of 4d530064. So switching between the two will be as simple as renaming the folders for each version like so:

From Bungie Online Team member David Candland, in a forum post: When Halo 2 is in beta mode, it won't be on disk but will require the tester to own an Xbox debug/development kit with a DVD emulator drive. In order to beta test Halo 2, you will need to have one of these, which, consequently, will require you to be a licensed Xbox developer.

For any downloadable content to work on Halo 2, you will need to have one of the 1.1 AutoUpdates installed. You can do this with CDX manually by editing the cdx.inx in the cdxmedia folder, or you can just use the already configured inx from the AWSK CDX package. Search around for it. On the first screen of Halo 2 you should see a 1.1 on the bottom, if you do not see this then its not going to work.

On some Xbox's, Halo 2 may become slightly overwhelmed by the large amount of DLC it now has. To fix this, allow your copy of Halo 2 to sit at the menu for a little while befor eyou sign in, usually until the first attract video plays. Alternatively, switch back and forth between loading Acension and Midship in SplitScreen until one loads. Then all maps should load.

Change the quantity in your shopping cart to the number of courses that you would like to purchase. After your order completes, in your student area there is a option that allows you to change the student name on your course to whomever you like. If you purchase 5 or more courses you will then be recognized as a group. Groups receive a $5.00 discount per course and will need a Group Administrator to add the names of members to your group and assigns classes the each group member.

Bring up the properties of your Halo shortcut, after the last quote type -screenshot Pressing the PrintScreen button will then save a screenshot.

HALO is the only portable wave attenuator that effectively and economically reduces teh height of very long period waves (up to 10 seconds!) by 50%. It reduces waves of up to five seconds by a remarkable 80% ^To top

Anchoring is accomplished in a site-specific manner; however, in all situations, proven marine-grade components are used. Depending on teh location and application, we can use pilings (in some cases existing pilings,) screw anchors, MANTA RAY® anchors, or dead weights to anchor the HALO to the seabed. ^To top

If conditions warrant, HALO can be moved or repositioned within days. Approximately 250 linear feet of HALO can be installed per day with competent soils and good weather.
