The game: The most anticipated game in the world is here and its unrivalled carnage will make this game more successful than its predecessor. Mass destruction and ruthless ef. - ciency is encouraged, with new weapons and vehicles allowing players to enjoy the frenzied action.

The play: A story of intergalactic conspiracy, religious hypocrisy, the clashing of ancient and modern technology. One super soldier – the Master Chief – is the only man who stands in the way of the total annihilation of the human race by a marauding alien race (Covenant).

Story line twists and turns will keep the hard core gamers enthralled and movie-like graphics will entertain to the finish.

The kit: Plenty of new weapons available including the use of Covenant weapons. Vehicles can be hijacked.

The terrain: Asymmetrical maps take time to adjust and require intense concentration to remember where weapons are (especially when being chased).

The experience: There are some very smart inclusions like being able to talk with your team mates anywhere in the map and to hear enemies within 15m. Creating a clan allows for evolved combat on-line and the worldwide Halo 2 web, ranks individual players and clans.
