Update on Halo 2

[lance]

Ok guys, we got some nice new little info on bungie's up-and-coming smash hit: Halo 2. According the boys in Official Xbox Magazine a final(and this time they mean it) release date for the game WILL BE 2004, just in time for the holiday season and to suck about 50billion dollars from xbox lovers world-wide. We also got some new info from an interview done with the Halo 2 crew. They're keeping most things hush hush, but as you can see from the trailers and some personal inside info, the Master Chief's new arsenal so far, and only some of this is confirmed, includes a new assault rifle with a lower rate of fire but it does have a scope, a new close-range weapon in the dual submachinguns, and also a "magnum" pistol to replace the old HE pistol. No word on new vehicles or any mods to weapons such as the sniper rifle, but there is talk of a new covenent plasma rifle in the works. Finally, here's some new screenshots from a Xbox Live lan that the guys over at Bungie got to have a few weeks ago. Which proves that the game is in a playable state, with online capabilities already built in.

Halo has been done for a little while, they were holding off on releasing it to the "right time" So another words... they wanted to make sure their is not any new competition on the market during release (not that it will make a difference any way). The trailors for this game look very nice!
