Any All Exact 


August 8, 2002

The long-anticipated day has finally arrived: Halo 2 has been officially announced, and a smattering of amazing screenshots have been released. These shots all hail from the forthcoming Halo trailer, a synopsis of which has just been released in the time I've been typing this! Exciting times indeed!

I have a few things to point out, just to get the ball rolling...all of you guys will have to take it from there.

First off, confirmation finally of other Covenant races: in the announcement this morning, mention is made that you only met a small fraction of the Covenant's races, and that, "If you had a hard time with the handful of Covenant races you met in the first game, you may wish to start practicing now; you'll need it when they unleash the rest of their army." Hard time? Hah. Truth and Reconciliation on Legendary was cake. Obviously. :)

I would also like to point out multiple confirmations that Halo 2 takes place, at least at one point, on or around Earth. The first came with this gorgeous desktop. That's Luna hanging in the sky there, and just in case there was any doubt, the name of the desktop should ensure you: "h2earth.jpg".

And, more impressively, the synopsis of the upcoming (hopefully very very soon) Halo 2 Trailer by Gamespot. "As the Master Chief enters the hangar, it is revealed that his spacecraft is orbiting Earth--and that Earth is under heavy fire from Covenant warships."

Keep on hunting out new information, new theories, new ideas on Halo 2, and send them to us, and we'll do our best to add them to the madness here.

Speculate away. 'Tis a good day.
