About this product

Product Information

The Covenant is attacking earth and Master Chief must come to the rescue before they completely wipe out humanity and take over the planet. Fight alone or with a collection of friends in this game to save the planet from a gruesome demise. The Halo 2 Xbox 360 game begins where the original left off. The primary character is still Master Chief and the aliens are back and stronger than before. Play in single-player mode or with a group of friends in split-screen or system-link modes. Published by Microsoft with a release date of 2004 and created by Bungie, this game is the successor to Halo: Combat Evolved. Created to take full advantage of Xbox hardware at the time of its release date, this game is compatible with the Xbox 360. Microsoft and Bungie took everything from the original and gave it a different spin in this exciting action game for the Xbox 360. The familiar base shooting mechanics are present but refined to an impressive level of accuracy and realism. There are more guns, more bad guys, more explosions, and more vehicles, including the introduction of the massive rolling artillery piece, the Scorpion heavy tank. Gameplay in Halo 2 will find the player running, jumping, shooting, and lobbing grenades on the road to defeat the religious zealots of the Covenant. These zealots are trying to wreak vengeance for the destruction of one of their holy relics, the Halo Ring. An epic and well-written storyline takes the player from the outer reaches of alien space to the familiar comfort of Earth as they battle for their home planet's survival. New friends and enemies are met along the way, including a new playable character in the form of The Arbiter. The story rushes towards its conclusion at a break-neck pace, inevitably heading towards the Covenant's ultimate secret in a big reveal that will expose the Covenant's most fatal flaw. A well-developed graphics engine makes every cutscene vibrant and real, every bullet land just a little too close for comfort, and every explosion seem just one missed step away from disaster. Intricate textures, lighting, and detailed rendering create a beautiful and exciting Halo world on the Xbox 360. The graphics of this game push the Xbox hardware to its limits. Friend and foe alike come to life in this high-powered title. Players will be dazzled at just how well the graphics accentuate the action. This second installment in the Halo collection features great gameplay and graphics. At the time Halo 2 was released, the multiplayer action was mind-blowing. You can compete with your friends at home and work to complete the campaign via split-screen and LAN play. Fight with your friends in a variety of fun match modes, including Capture-The-Flag, Slayer, Team-Slayer, and many more. Relive the polished and enjoyable experience that helped turn online multiplayer in console video games into what it is today. The second installment of the Halo collection captures all of the excitement of its predecessor and sets up all the right pieces for combat and entertainment. With this game, you can experience a high-level Xbox console first-person shooter.

  • Product image is different

    I did receive Halo 2, but the the cover art for the disc case was different (basically does not say platinum hits on case). Not a huge deal as the game is the same, but its not that hard to upload the correct artwork. It also creates doubt when ordering games that actually have differences between releases.

  • Different From Pictured

    Not a big deal, but could have been. For example, to perform a softmod on an OG Xbox, someone would be looking for the non platinum hits version of Splinter Cell, because the platinum hits version simply will not work. If the version of the game you receive may differ from what is pictured, that should be clearly stated in the title and/or description. Game is great.

  • Halo 2 Anniversary is great

    I have not played the remastered version which is only available on the Master Chief collection, but will do so someday. Halo 2 is playable on Xbox 360 so I figured why not pick up in the original Xbox format and see if it was great or lame. It’s totally great to play on your 360. It’s compelling and you don’t want to put it down. I got a great deal on the price on EBay and it was not a waste of time or money. You can check out the gameplay as well as the history behind the design of the game on YouTube.

  • Great classic game, expect minor tech issues.

    Disc is a little damaged and has some graphics and audio quality issues but that is to be expected from a 15+ year old game.

  • I love this game

    Fantastic game, probably the best Bungie has ever released. Halo 2 truly brought in the era of online console gaming, and was a smashing success for Microsoft and their newly released Xbox live. This game incorporates many multiplayer features found in the first real multiplayer PC game, Counter Strike. The campaign is detailed, linking past and future games in the Halo franchise, and the game is well-polished. Even though Halo 1 and Halo 2 were made for the same console, there is a striking difference in detail and graphics for the second. Highly recommended game.

  • Great game!

    I had this game before and I had to sale it. I wanted to start a halo collection so naturally I had to get it back! Found this one and got it right away.

  • Great for its era

    Gaming has come a long way since the heyday of Halo. Still a pretty good game, even many years later.

  • Pretty good classic for an Xbox game

    It still holds up to this day, the graphics may be a bit outdated but the gameplay is still like any other halo game I've played. Soild game overall :)

  • A classiv

    Fell in love with the halo series. Just played halo 1 anniversary and very happy! Halo 2 introduced so much more. I was not able to get the halo 2 anniversary as I only have an Xbox 360. The graphics are of course dated, but it’s still a wonderful game. If I could of had the anniversary edition with improved quality I would do it!

  • Arguably the Best Halo

    On legendary mode, the game is tougher than the 1st Halo. Possibly the best soundtrack out of all Halos. Dual wielding is great, but the shotgun and pistol is considerably weaker than the 1st Halo. With Reach, Halo 3, and Halo 1, Halo 2 is right up there and makes it difficult to choose which is the best Halo overall.
