Check out- http://archive.gamespy.com/landing/halo2/ and http://bungie.com/Games/Halo2/.

No spoilers are there, but there is some good information. If you are doubtful of buying Halo 2, once you see the review, you will definately want to buy it. The gamespy site has a review, a 100 new screenshots, and 20 new videos (Some multliplayer, and some singleplayer). Check out the multiplayer videos. I am not sure about the single player videos though, because I didn't see it in fear of spoilers. So just to be safe, don't watch the single player videos. Edit: ZeroDarkstar says the single player videos are safe to watch, and no spoilers are there, other than the Scarab, but most of you already know of that. He said the single player videos are good, and make you want Halo 2 more. The Bungie site, has some interesting stuff in it. You can download the .PDF file of the Halo 2 regular edition manual, and you can see some new functionality to be implemented in the site. All good stuff. Have fun!

This is what will happen when halo 2 comes out. Click this. (http://www.mindistortion.net/iwantyoursoul/?i_am=Battlecruiser)

Right now, 13 hours, and 30 minutes until the release of Halo 2. Here is a good countdown clock to use- http://gladiator.byu.edu/HALO%202%20Countdown.htm.
When November 9th comes, the Halo 2 symbol should be in full view.

If your wondering how I am posting this in the middle of the day when I should be in school, it is because I am sick. I really am. I wish I had better timing though. Then I could be sick tomorrow. Haha, just kidding.

Halo 2 actually came out last night here actually, one of the radio stations here was outside EBGames. They aren't doing a time-synchronised release for some reason, which I think is strange.

Yeah. I think they do it timezone by timezone. So whenever a timezone hits November 9th at midnight, the stores open.

I've watched the Single-Player footage, and I can assure you, there's nothing there that will in any way impact your enjoyment of the game. In fact, it just made me want it more.

Unless you consider the Scarab to be a spoiler, you're good.

If I remember correctly, the Library wasn't too awful hard on legendary.
Buf if heroic in Halo 1 = legendary in Halo 2...
The covenant took skill to take down on legendary. The only reason the flood was hard in legendary was because they respawned endlessly and could kill you in a matter of hits.

I read a review on Halo 2 earlier today, and I gotta say, some things don't sound very impressive. Some stuff sounds good, but the review kind of sounded like it would be more of the same. I know new stuff like dual wielding and the sword are being added, but something just doesn't sound right to me...

I'm not a big console gamer, and I don't have an XBox, so unless Halo 2 comes out on PC, I probably won't be getting it.
