A community portal about Halo 2 with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Halo 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie Studios. Released for the Xbox game console on November 9, 2004, the game is a direct sequel to the critically acclaimed blockbuster Halo: Combat Evolved. From the day of its initial release, Halo 2 has been the most popular video game on Xbox Live, even after the release of the Xbox 360. On June 20, 2006, more than a half-billion games of Halo 2 had been played on Xbox Live since its debut, and by October 30, 2006, this number was raised to four billion. Halo 2 is compatible with the Xbox 360, including its Xbox Live functionality.
Halo 3, the third game in the best-selling Xbox game franchise Halo, is a highly anticipated first-person shooter video game under development by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360 and is expected to "set a new high water mark" for next-generation games.[3] An official announcement on the developers' website states that Halo 3 will end the current story arc of the Halo trilogy.

Bungie has posted news about 2 new Halo 2 maps that will become available for purchase ($4) on both the original Xbox and Xbox 360.

First Halo helped Crackdown get a ton of press and news by combining the beta with the game. Now Halo 2 is helping Shadowrun on Vista. According to an ars technica article a Circuit City ad lets gamers buy Halo 2 Vista for $40, then you get Shadowrun for free. This doesn't make any sense. How does a $50 game become free after being out for less than a month? I guess this is M$ way of pushing sales for Shadowrun on the PC side. Poor FASA studios. Read Full Story
If you have the Vista OS, then be sure to pick up Halo 2 Vista on May 8th. Microsoft announced that Games for Windows Live will launch on that day with H2V (Halo 2 Vista for those who don't aren't street, like me) as the launch title. I did find out that Halo 2 Vista owners will only be able to play Halo 2 Vista owners. I swear I read that it was a cross platform game. Several other people on the Bungie forums thought it as well.
