Wha's goin' on?
- NEW VIDOCLOL! Apparently a new video documentary, Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!, was released, and no one told me about it (shoots sideways glare at Relentless, who puts his hands up and acts innocent). Anyway, you can find it at the here place thingy, and it's about Halo 3's multiplayer. Go looky!
- Bubble Shield and Trip Mine are the X-Button! I KNEW IT!!! Except the tripmine... well, now you can really reenact that scene from First Strike with the frag nades and the Grunts! Sorta... meh.
- I'll let Relentless put in the number of days remaining until the release of the renowned Halo 3 in November...

The Oracle's Review for Halo 2®, Xbox
Halo 2 is a science-fiction first person-shooter...blah blah blah...if you don't know that you play as SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter, you can dual-wield, whateverI'msupposedtosayheretofillupspace, etc...you deserve to be shot and banned from Halopedia! =D Now, onto our review...
- Gameplay: 10 - Halo 2 is a jack 'o all trades. It has nothing that is particularily outstanding...but everything just seems to...fit together, you know? Seamless playing quality.
- Graphics: 9.5 - Satisfactory...although not Xbox 360-quality. =D This is offset by the fact that Halo 2 was Xbox-era...but...gahh! =D
- Campaign: 10 - Hell yeah! The detail that Bungie invested into making the campaign is tremendous! Using mods, when Cairo Station shudders in the level Cairo Station, you can see the actinic flash of the Super MAC cannon...you can also see the UNSC Frigate In Amber Clad docked on Cairo Station as well...when you get to New Mombasa, you can see the flood walls that still exist from 2007 Mombasa...the realism is unnerving. Exacting detail to realism and exacting detail to gameplay equals a well deserved 10/10 in this category.
- Multiplayer: 10 - Truely exceptional. When you get onto XBOX LIVE, an all-new Halo 2 experience permeates you! The multiplayer maps are wonderfully balanced, and there is nonstop action. Except when n00bs begin to mod and hack. But that's a different story. =D
- OVERALL: 9.9 - A beautifully put-together video game that's considered a benchmark par excellence for all other "beautiful" video games. (Of course, if I didn't rate this something like a 9.9, I have a feeling that you Halopedians will run after us with pitchforks...=D)
