Goodbye! Halo 2![edit]

Farewell! And I'm sorry i didn't make time to play you before servers closed! (I'll probably buy Vista now just to play Halo 2 online again.) The ODST are coming... for you. 03:39, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

       I miss Halo 2. At least there's forge to recreate maps from Halo 2! Bungie should create a Halo 2 styled playlist with user-created Halo 2 Maps. 24.15.196.201 22:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Backwards compatibility problem[edit]

I noticed something, this game when played on a 360 will leave ghost images, leftover things when played after a cutscene. is this a me problem, or a bc problem?--75.72.25.219 06:18, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

I dunno man, but the same thing happens to me a lot of times. So you know that you're not the only one to have this problem. Ultra Force 02:43, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

I get the same problem. Even though online is gone for it, I still go back and play but the ghosting images gets frustrating and sometimes unbearable. I always have to restart my 360 or return to the dashboard to get rid of the effect. I think Bungie should have tried patching that glitch and still should. If anyone knows how to get rid of that effect/bug, please say something. --RadicalEdward2 16:52, 1 December 2011 (EST)

Overhauls[edit]

This place is a mess! Things are turned around, out of order, not making sense, and patchy in places.

are you going to do something about it? and please, sign your comments--75.72.25.219 06:19, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Deleted levels[edit]

So wait,Siarra 117,Crows Nest,and Thauvo Highway were origionally in Halo 2.Thats wierd.Sith Venator 21:56, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Levels[edit]

The three levels were going to be Sierra 117, Crow's Nest and a mission between Quarantine Zone and Gravemind called Forerunner Tank. There also was a level after Chief jumped out of Cairo Station that was cut out. It involved fighting through the Carrier instead of using the bomb. --RadicalEdward2 01:02, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Plot[edit]

Should I begin writing the plot / per level storyline overview for Halo 2? I have it installed and am planning to play it again anyways. -- Drtomjenkins 11:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Update: Wikipedia has an excellent Plot (and Setting), should it be copied over to this article? -- Drtomjenkins 16:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Difficulty[edit]

Is it even possible to beat Halo 2 in its entirety on Legendary with all difficulty skulls on? I rage Halo 3 on Legendary all day but Heroic on H2 is just too much for me. --White Chocolate 05:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

yes it is possible white choclate

Hornet?[edit]

Why does it say Hornets are useable vehicles in Halo 2? TMek7^{Leader of Team 42} 21:01, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Closing Ceremonies[edit]

I don't beleive the following statement from the closing ceremonies section is accurate:

"On April 15, 2010, the Halo 2 Multiplayer Servers were closed down by Microsoft. The reason for this shutdown originates from the fact that Halo 2 was so hardwired into the Xbox LIVE service when it was released that it impedes the addition of new features being added on the Xbox 360 Console."

What I think should be changed:

The first sentence should mention that all Xbox live support for original xbox games was discontinued, not just support of H2's servers.

The shutdown wasn't only because of H2. Granted, H2 may have been one of the games holding Xbox Live back, but I seriously doubt it was the only one.

I don't have any real evidence to back up the corrections I suggested, other than remembering hearing about this on Xbox.com and Bungie.net. Also, 'm not sure if the original statement has any reliable sources to back it up or not, so I thought it would be better to discuss than just go ahead and change it. Sylor 0 05:56, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Halo Classic/New?[edit]

In multi-player when you want to change the types of weapons on the map. 2 of the options are Halo Classic and Halo New. What are they?!Gogeta21 01:12, April 30, 2010 (UTC)!!!!!!!!

Spectre[edit]

Where did "Spectre" Infantry Support Vehicle come from? The Wuzum-pattern Spectre article just calls it a Spectre. Is this a fanfiction name? Because even if it looks messy, the canon name is what should be listed. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 18:27, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Old plot[edit]

I've heard that orignally, miranda was going to betray you, starp a bomb on your back, and then send you to high charity as revenge for her father. This, and other stuff that is mentioned in the limited edition of halo 2, should probably be in the article. 24.154.119.139 18:51, 7 August 2011 (EDT)

Ummmm. No.

TV spots and trailers[edit]

I've noticed we lack pages and videos for some trailers etc. throughout the wiki. I kept forgetting to bring it up but this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp_U8R-IDhA jogged my memory. So, should it be on the wiki?--Soul reaper 10:09, 21 May 2012 (EDT)

THIS SPECIES: WANTED[edit]

There's this species in Halo 2 that's not included in the appearances section. I don't know what they're called, but there are these flying things in the sky in one of the missions...i dont know he name of that mission either XD but they look look kinda like pteronadons if my memory is correct. pls let me know when thats edited!!!

They're called Quadwings, or Rangmejo.BaconShelf (talk) 18:21, August 22, 2019 (EDT)

-I found something cool. If you look very carefully (or not as carefully as I needed to), at objects like the carbine, plasma pistol, also the rifle, there are gauges that tell you how hot/how much ammo there is in the weapon (for example, the "decorations" of the plasma rifle turns colours based on how hot it is). Also, there is a gauge telling you how hard the Warthog's engine is working (in front of the steering wheel). Also, if you throw a grenade, and go up and look at it VERY closely, well, you'll see.
