All spoilers for Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo: First Strike will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Halo 2 is the second game in the Halo series, developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft for the original Xbox on November 9, 2004.Following the events of the first game, the Master Chief arrives back at Earth, praised as a hero for his actions on Installation 04. In the midst of celebration, however, a Covenant attack begins on Earth, with the Chief and the UNSC racing to stop them. The Spartan soon learns that the Covenant are looking for something on Earth, and his quest takes him to a new Halo ring, where he uncovers more of the mystery behind the Flood.Meanwhile, the game also follows a Covenant Elite named Thel 'Vadamee, better known as the Arbiter. Originally the leader of the Covenant forces that fought the Master Chief on the first Halo ring, he's branded as a heretic by the Covenant leaders due to his failure to stop the ring's destruction. Given the role of Arbiter by the Prophets, Thel is tasked with suicide mission that may potentially help him reclaim some of his lost honor. But as he learns more about the origin of the Halo rings and the fate of the Forerunners himself, he begins to doubt the Covenant cause.Halo 2 introduced Guns Akimbo to the series; any gun that can be fired with one hand can be paired off with another one-handed gun of any type (besides the Master Chief, Covenant Elites can pull this off too). It also introduced vehicle hijacking - assuming you could get close enough to the vehicle without being gunned down or run over. Halo 2 solidified the presence of online console gaming thanks to the original Xbox Live service; thanks to Halo 2's success, practically any game of nearly any genre will have at least some debate from the developers on whether or not it should feature an online component.To mark its ten-year anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary was released by 343 Industries on November 11, 2014, as part of the compilation Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It comes with updated graphics, six remastered multiplayer maps with their own unique engine, and other bonus content, but unlike the original release of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, it also comes with the original multiplayer.note The Master Chief Collection's version of Combat Evolved Anniversary also has its original multiplayer component, playable online over Xbox LIVE for the first time. The game has also been ported to PC, in both its original and Anniversary forms. The original port came in 2007, as part of Microsoft's attempt to increase support for PC gaming and the then-new Windows Vista operating system through the oft-maligned Games for Windows Live service; it would end up the last Halo game in general to come to PC until 2013's Halo: Spartan Assault, and the last main Halo title to get a PC port until The Master Chief Collection came to PC in late 2019 with a port of Halo: Reach. Halo 2 Anniversary would later launch for the PC version of the collection in May 2020.

comment
Creator Cameo: Bob O'Donnell, the father of series composer Marty O'Donnell, voices the Prophet of Objection's sole line in the opening cutscene ("Nay! It was heresy!"). In the opening of "Gravemind" on Legendary difficulty, during the shot of the Grunts and Jackals protesting outside the Prophet's chamber, you can spot a sprite of Bungie co-founder Jason Jones in his underwear among the crowd. In the Anniversary version of the scene, he is replaced with an image of franchise director Frank O'Connor in his role as the janitor in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Combat Evolved wasn't a light game, but it did indulge in a fair amount of comedic moments, especially in its first half. Even after the Tone Shift caused by the introduction of the Flood, we still got gags about the Chief coming out of a teleport upside-down, and an extra non-canon joke ending if you beat the game on Legendary. Halo 2 by contrast is much more consistently downbeat and serious throughout its running time, largely thanks to the fact that the stakes are much higher from the beginning.

 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_15aed120
comment
Shows Damage: One of the changes from the first game is that vehicles now show damage; however, this is purely cosmetic. Vehicles are still tied to the player's Critical Existence Failure, so you can drive around with your vehicle on fire for as long as you want if your health stays above zero. Also, you can still fly in a Banshee even after it's had both of its engines and wings shot off.

The Worf Effect: In the same mission no less. At the start of "Metropolis," you are treated to a cathartic segment of a Scorpion and a long bridge filled with enemies ripe for you to blow up. The climax of the level has you taking down a Scarab but not before it makes its entrance by blowing up another Scorpion like the one you used earlier.

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: There are holograms found throughout the levels "Delta Halo" and "Regret" that show the Prophet of Regret giving a sermon to the rest of the Covenant; before Cortana activates the Translator Microbes that render the speech in English, it sounds like the Gregorian chant intro to the main Halo theme.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers, promotional materials, and even the blurb on the game's box all gave the impression that the Chief would spend all or most of the game helping humanity repel the Covenant invasion on Earth. He ends up spending three missions there, one on a station in orbit and two in a single city, before the head honcho they're tailing makes a slipspace jump and leads them to a new Halo. The gameplay trailer for E3 2003 wowed audiences for its at-the-time stunning graphics and effects. In fact, the demo was so advanced that it couldn't possibly run on the Xbox, meaning Bungie had to scrap the whole thing and start making the actual gameplay.

comment
Villain Ball: Truth wants to eliminate the Elites and fill their shoes in the Covenant with the Brutes, whom he thinks will be more blindly obedient underlings, especially if the truth about Halo gets out. While this might be a sound plan for the long term, the problem is that Truth's goal, which he comes very close to achieving in Halo 3, is to activate Halo and wipe out all life in the galaxy (or as he believes, Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence) meaning that there is no long term for him. Many of the Elites are still loyal to the Covenant and devout followers of its religion; even if the truth about Halo got out, it likely wouldn't sway enough Elites to turn against the Covenant in time to stop Truth. Instead, Truth gives all of the Elites a very good reason to turn against him for no particularly good reason, something that directly results in Truth's failing to achieve his goal in this game as well as his ultimate defeat.

Boss Battle

comment
Boss Battle: Notable for being the only FPS Halo game until Halo 5: Guardians to have traditional boss battles; namely, the Heretic Leader, the Prophet of Regret, and Tartarus. On "Normal" all of them except Tartarus aren't much tougher than a King Mook, but on "Heroic" and "Legendary" they have multiple phases and are more like a traditional video game boss fight.

Adaptation Expansion: In the cutscene where the Prophets and the Brute honor guard get ambushed by Flood infection forms, the Prophet of Mercy is seen rapidly mashing a button on his gravity throne, likely as a way to defend himself from an advancing infection form, but it fails to do anything, and the infection form successfully lashes onto him with the Prophet of Truth still preventing Tartarus from saving him, further implying that Mercy's death was orchestrated.

comment
Boring, but Practical: The Battle Rifle, a normal, burst-fire human rifle with a 2x scope. It kills Grunts and Jackals with one headshot, even on Legendary, and when used in combination with the plasma pistol is also capable of absolutely destroying Elites. It can also allow you to out-snipe Jackals and the ammo for it is usually plentiful. In levels where the BR isn't available, you can make do with its counterpart the Covenant Carbine, which lacks the BR's generous spread but fires in semi-auto rather than a burst and can carry a lot more ammo.

 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_410c28e9

Incredibly Durable Enemies: Brutes have about 50% more overall durability compared to Halo 2 Elites, however they also have massive resistance against automatic weaponry, so it takes an absurd amount of SMG or plasma rifle fire to put one down. Halo 3 would tone down their tankiness by removing their damage resistance, while Reach also slightly reduced their overall durability alsonote A Brute Minor goes down after 20 assault rifle shots in Halo 3 and 18 assault rifle shots in Reach, while a Brute Minor in Halo 2 would take about 50 assault rifle shots to kill if Halo 2 had an assault rifle, given that the Halo assault rifles consistently do 50% more damage than the equivalent SMG.

Alien Sky: Once Master Chief gets to Delta Halo, if you have a good view of the sky, things often look... alien. Your first mission as the Arbiter puts you on a station at the edge of a gas giant's atmosphere. It's all angry swirling clouds.

Villainous Rescue: "Regret" and "Quarantine Zone" end with, respectively, the Chief falling into a deep lake while fleeing a Covenant glassing beam, and the Arbiter being knocked into the Library's pit by Tartarus, in what turns out to be the opening shot of the Great Schism. Both of them would have died if not for the intervention of Gravemind, who wants them both alive for its own purposes.

You Have Failed Me: The Elites as a whole suffer this after Chief kills the Prophet of Regret, as the surviving Hierarchs attempt to replace them with the Brutes. The Elites don't take it very well. Unlike most examples, the Elites actually weren't to blame for the just-mentioned debacle; the Prophet of Truth deliberately engineered Regret's death just so he could have an excuse to get rid of the Elites, having knowingly weakened Regret's security despite the protests of, ironically enough, his Elite subordinates.

Situational Sword: The Sentinel Beam became an equippable weapon in this game, and it's almost exclusively designed to kill Flood. It's very accurate and can drop Flood forms near instantly from any range, but it drains ammo and overheats so rapidly that using it against any other enemy can easily be wasteful. Justified, of course, by the fact that Sentinels were designed to combat the Flood.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Brutes made their debut in this game, but they looked and behaved completely different in gameplay than they would from Halo 3 onwards. They have an unkempt look with primitive armor, have just one unique weapon (the Brute Shot) alongside the Brute Plasma Rifle, and act as bullet sponges vulnerable to explosives and headshots. Halo 3 gives them a more groomed look, more advanced armor, a range of unique weapons and vehicles with an aesthetic distinct from the rest of the Covenant, and in gameplay they mostly served as a replacement for Elites with a few Brutish-traits thrown in, such as the ability to go berserk. Halo: Reach would make the Brutes act as a middle-point between those two depictions, which has mostly stuck since. Halo 2 introduced Skulls, collectables that introduced gameplay modifiers with all kinds of weird and challenging effects, which would become a staple of the series. However, the way they worked was completely different. There was no option to toggle skulls in the menu. Instead, once you found a skull its effects would activate and remain for as long as you had the console switched on. Once you turned off your console, you had to find the skull all over again; and skulls in this game are much more difficult and esoteric to find than they would later become, so good luck. Sesa 'Refumee is named as such despite being the Heretic leader, and thus opposed to the Covenant. Halo: The Cole Protocol establishes that the "-ee" suffix is taken on by Sangheili to indicate their loyalty to the Covenant, and is removed by those who leave it. This game experimented a bit with its weapon selection and removed the Assault Rifle, a noteworthy exclusion given that it is a staple of every other Halo game. Played with in that the assault rifle in the first game functioned more like a submachine gun, and this game replaces it with an actual submachine gun which behaves in an almost identical manner other than slightly less relative damage per shot.

Second Chapter Cliffhanger
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_545ebe6b
comment
Second Chapter Cliffhanger: The cliffhanger between this installment and Halo 3 most certainly counts, as it leaves players knee-deep in The Climax but gives them no denouement. After defeating the Final Boss Tartarus, the removal of the Index shuts Halo down, which triggers a fail safe protocol. This causes the remaining platforms to enter standby and get ready for remote activation from the Ark. Then Truth's ship arrives on Earth, Master Chief utters that he's "finishing this fight", and the game ends.

Guns Akimbo: The one major gameplay change between Halo 2 Anniversary and the original Xbox/Vista version of Halo 2 is that most of the dual-wielding NPCs have had their dual-wielding removed from the single-player campaign, with a couple rare exceptions such as the dual plasma pistol wielding Elites at the beginning of "Cairo Station". The Heretic Leader is the most obvious example of this, as he and his clones still dual-wield in the cutscenes but immediately lose their second plasma rifles once gameplay starts. Miranda Keyes also no longer dual wields SMGs during her confrontation with the Arbiter. Dual-wielding enemies were eventually added back into the game in a later update.

Nostalgia Level: "Beaver Creek" and "Coagulation" are faithful remakes of "Battle Creek" and "Blood Gulch" from Combat Evolved. Later map packs would also add "Warlock" as a remake of "Wizard", "Elongation" for "Longest", "Desolation" for "Derelict", and "Tombstone" for "Hang 'Em High". "Gemini" was designed as a Spiritual Successor to the Marathon Infinity map "Duality", while "Foundation" is a remake of the Marathon 2: Durandal map "Thunderdome".

The pistol is no longer the Punch-Packing Pistol it was in the first game, dealing about half as much relative damage, no longer having a scope, and no longer counting as a sniper weapon when it comes to the Hunter weak points. Justified in that the pistol in Halo 2 is a completely different weapon firing more standard armor-piercing rounds rather than the explosive-bullet Hand Cannon from the first game.

Pragmatic Villainy: Although the Covenant in general view human technology as heretical, the manual with the Limited Collector's Edition (which took the form of a report by then-Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee) featured a section on "Primitive Implements of War" (i.e. human weapons) advising that they can still be useful in a pinch and recommending that Covenant troops have some understanding of their workings, as they may need to rely on them when no Covenant weapons are available (the rocket launcher in particular is described as "surprisingly effective and somewhat admired"). Thel has evidently taken his own advice, as when facing the Flood (which is more easily killed by projectile weapons than plasma) in "Sacred Icon" and "Quarantine Zone", he has no difficulty handling human weapons.

Critical Existence Failure: Vehicles in the first two games had their health tied to their pilot's health, only being destroyed if they took enough damage to fully kill their pilot. However, 2 introduced battle damage to vehicles which means you can be piloting a Banshee that's taken an entire squad's worth of gunfire and as a result is missing a wing, both tailfins, and has a crooked & battered canopy, and it'll not only function just fine until you're dead, but if you back off and let your shields regenerate it'll be able to take another squad's worth of gunfire all over again without any visible repairs.

George Lucas Altered Version: The campaign itself is preserved to a religious degree (besides the updated graphics), but the cutscenes are fully overhauled. While the Anniversary cutscenes mostly play out the same as the original ones, just with cinema-quality CG rather than in-game renderings, there are some minor changes scattered throughout. Additionally, there is a new multiplayer mode created with a unique engine; included in it are remastered versions of several classic maps, the Hornet from Halo 3, and a new Mongoose variant called the "Gungoose". The classic game with the original graphics and gameplay are still available if you so choose.

On Legendary difficulty they can even survive a direct plasma grenade stick. They're pretty rare on "Normal" difficulty, but become more common on the higher difficulties. The Thunderstorm skull turns all non-specialist Elites into Ultras. Fortunately, the noob combo still drops them dead in a couple seconds. Gold-armored Elite Zealots only appear on "Legendary" difficulty now, appearing as squad leaders at key locations throughout the campaign. They've lost the overshields they had in Halo Combat Evolved and are no tougher than a regular Elite Major, but the energy swords they always wield are a One-Hit Kill. Sentinel Enforcers essentially serve as mini-boss fights, though most can be avoided or skipped. Hunters have been somewhat upgraded to this status. In fact you only fight about 13 of them throughout the entire campaign, half of whom are encountered in the level "Gravemind".

Remember the New Guy?
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_77b03c0a
comment
Remember the New Guy?: The introduction of the Drones and especially Brutes became this, although not by intention: their lack of presence in the first game was originally explained by humanity simply not encountering either species until the events of Halo: First Strike, which is set between the first two games. Then every other piece of Halo media set before the first game included them anyway, up to the point that a 2010 reprint of First Strike had to excise all mention of it being the first appearance of either species because by that point it had been established that humanity's first contact with the Covenant involved both of them.

I Reject Your Reality: In contrast to the Arbiter (see Awful Truth), despite being told in no uncertain terms that the Halo rings are weapons of mass destruction and that the Forerunners are dead, Tartarus refuses to accept it. This blind loyalty is actually exactly why Truth wanted the Brutes and not the Elites in power.

Optional Stealth: The Arbiter's Invisibility Cloak lasts for only about five seconds anyway, so ignoring it is a perfectly viable option if you don't want to spend most of your time just going in and out of hiding. A hidden skull lets Master Chief have invisibility too, but it lasts for the same amount of time and has a second disadvantage of no visible timer.

Big, Bulky Bomb: The Covenant boarding parties use these to take down Earth's MAC guns, blowing up at least the Malta and the Athens, and nearly doing the same to the Cairo, which was only saved by the Chief managing to defeat the suicide-squad of Elites guarding it. Said bombs are easily bigger than any of their guards, and are covered in spikes.

Alternate Universe: Expanding on the concept of "Fractures" as seen in Halo 3 and Halo Infinite, an update added some new armor options for this game based on the concept of Halo being transplanted into other genres. In this case, it's a trio of universes based on classic Japanese pop culture: "Bioroid" is a homage to Guyver and its Bio-Armor, "Panzerdoll" is inspired by the Super Robot Genre, and "Megaframe" is a sendup of Toku.

Gimmick Level: Many of the remade maps in Anniversary now have an extra gimmick added to them to spice things up: "Bloodline" ("Coagulation") now features a console in each base that, when activated, emits an EMP discharge that disables all vehicles in the vicinity. "Lockdown" ("Lockout") has large chunks of ice hanging above key locations on the map, which will drop down when shot at and can crush unsuspecting players. "Shrine" ("Sanctuary") features targets above each team's base, which when shot at will release a waterfall, blocking vision in and out of the base. "Stonetown" ("Zanzibar") retains the switch that opens the entrance to the power station, albeit in a new location. "Zenith" ("Ascension") features switches around the map, which when triggered will activate an energy shield to protect players in the radar dish in the middle of the map.

 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_954b3c7b
comment
Strong Flesh, Weak Steel: For gameplay reasons, Master Chief is incredibly squishy without his shields, being able to take much less damage than regular UNSC marines despite their much less advanced armor. Strangely, the dress uniform-wearing marines in Cairo Station are actually tougher than the ones wearing full combat armor, having about 195 relative health compared to the 150 relative health of the regular marines. Not even the ODST troopers in the later levels have that kind of health boost.

Took a Level in Badass
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: The generic UNSC Marines got way more competent in this game. They're more accurate, they've learned to drive multi-passenger vehicles (though not particularly well), and they're about 50% more durable compared to the first game, being roughly on par with a Blue Elite in terms of how many hits they can take now. They're actually pretty helpful when they appear, as long as you throw any submachine guns and shotguns they're holding into the trash and replace them with Battle Rifles and Sniper Rifles. Give one a rocket launcher and the marine's good aim and unlimited ammo will usually let him rack up almost as many kills as you. Hunters have received various minor tweaks to make them less of a Fake Ultimate Mook; they're much larger, are harder to bait into performing a melee attack (which exposes their weak points), and can now perform a 180-degree attack behind them to hit anything trying to shoot them in the back. Their armor also now completely negates damage, instead of merely reducing it. Their weak points also have proper coding to act as actual weak points and not "instantly kill them with a single pistol bullet" points, on top of the pistol being nerfed so it doesn't kill them in one shot. They still die to one weak point hit from a sniper rifle or beam rifle, though, and a direct grenade hit will confuse them and cause them to spin 180 degrees around, exposing their weak back. They do have somewhat less raw health than they did in the first game, but this is offset by their more intelligent use of their shield and their armor now offering 100% damage resistance. The plasma rifle now has a much faster rate of fire while still dealing roughly as much damage as it did in the first game, and can now be dual-wielded for even More Dakka. It also holds twice as many shots on a full battery as before.

Foreshadowing
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing In the opening cutscene, the Prophet of Regret isn't there in person, but remotely as a hologram, foreshadowing that he's currently en route to Earth to begin his invasion. The same cutscene has Thel 'Vadamee, the future Arbiter, declaring that he will continue his campaign against the humans, to which the Prophet of Truth replies bluntly, "No. You will not." His words indeed prove, well, prophetic, as all the enemies you fight as the Arbiter are either Sentinels, Flood, or enemy Covenant.note  Well, technically there are human enemies in "Sacred Icon" and "Quarantine Zone", but in the first case they die before you reach them (unless you use a trick like the Sputnik Skull), while in the second they consist of a single Pelican flying overhead (which, like all Pelicans in the game, is indestructible), and Miranda and Johnson, whom you encounter only in a cutscene. Cortana suggests that killing the Prophet of Regret should shake up the Covenant leadership, and then remarks that the Chief might be doing Truth a favor. Turns out she was right, as Regret's death gives Truth an excuse to replace the Elites with the Brutes, which leads to the Great Schism.

Continuity Nod: The terminals have quite a few to the expanded universe: The fight between Thel and Jai-006 is taken straight from The Cole Protocol, complete with a cameo from Zhar. Fal 'Chavamee makes a couple of appearances and is even referenced by name. The final terminal marks the first in-game appearance of Fred-104 (and the first voiced appearance of Linda-058), and directly references the mission to destroy the Unyielding Hierophant from First Strike. The details of both the Taming of the Lekgolo and the Unggoy Rebellion come from Contact Harvest.

Most of the time they're on your side as the Arbiter, but you fight them throughout one of the final levels, "Gravemind", as Master Chief. They're about as tough as an Elite Major, throw grenades with frightening accuracy, and are overall more skilled and responsive than regular Elites. They also have cloaking devices now.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: After Regret is killed, the Prophet of Truth orders the Brutes to replace the Elites as the Honor Guards, setting the stage for his long-planned slaughter of the Sangheili leadership who were more prone to questioning the Prophets than the more fanatical Jiralhanae. In barely a day's time, Truth's betrayal not only splits the Covenant in half and provokes a massive civil war, but it also gains the humans a critical ally in the Elites after they realize the truth about the rings. Furthermore, Truth decides to leave Mercy behind after an infection form latches onto him. When the Master Chief runs into him, he tells him that Truth is heading to Earth, basically ratting him out, so Truth pretty much shot himself in the foot on that one.

comment
Unique Enemy: Likely owing to this game's chaotic development, there are quite a few one-off enemy concepts scattered throughout the game: The first group of enemies in "Cairo Station" includes a pair of Elites dual-wielding Plasma Pistols. Later on, you can encounter an uncloaked Stealth Elite, and at the very end, there is an Elite dual-wielding a Plasma Rifle and Needler (also the only enemy that is dual-wielding two different weapons). During the drive through the tunnels in "Outskirts", you drive past a convoy of Shadows. These vehicles receive an entry in the manual despite being undriveable and never appear beyond this minuscule appearance. "Delta Halo" features a group of Jackals that use Plasma Rifles. "Regret" features a group of cloaked Grunts in their only antagonistic appearance. A squad of enemy Marines can be indirectly encountered in "Sacred Icon"; they are scripted to die when the player reaches their location. "Quarantine Zone" has the Needler Sentinel, a single Sentinel that fires Needler rounds and will drop one upon being destroyed. According to a developer, this was an experimental concept they forgot to remove from the final game. Also, "Quarantine Zone" holds the distinction of being the only level in the entire series where the Flood use vehicles. As a result, this is also the only level where you face off against Warthogs and Scorpions, and among them there is just one Gauss Warthog. "Gravemind" has another Glitch Entity in the form of the Honor Guard Councilor. The Honor Guard Councilor is coded as a Zealot rather than a full Ultra or Councilor, and was supposed to be the only Zealot you fight on difficulties lower than Legendary. On the intentional side, this is the only mission with Spec-Ops Elites and Grunts as enemies, as well as one Elite with a Fuel Rod Gun at the end. "High Charity" is the only mission with cloaked Flood, as well as Flood Combat Forms equipped with Brute Plasma Rifles. There is also a lonely Combat Form with a Brute Shot.

Retcon: The change to the status of the position of Arbiter in Covenant society since the release of the original Halo 2 straddles the line between these two. Halo 2 all but stated that the Arbiter was a position of great esteem in the Covenant and that Thel 'Vadamee's appointment to Arbiter to be an unconventional move on the part of Truth and Mercy, bordering on Loophole Abuse. All subsequent media (including Anniversary's terminals) treat it as more or less the normal procedure. Since Anniversary's campaign is identical to the original, there are several inconsistencies like Sesa 'Refumee saying the position is a badge of shame in the terminals, while Thel 'Vadamee in the campaign states that even on his knees he is unworthy to be in the Mausoleum of the Arbiters. Or Guilty Spark stating (again, in the terminals) that the position was manipulated by the Prophets to disgrace Elites that were becoming too powerful, while in Thel's trial Truth is if anything trying to defend him and only denounces him as a heretic to satisfy the High Council.

Temporary Online Content: The "Blastacular Pack", which includes Desolation and Tombstone, was only available as online DLC, as they were released after the offline Multiplayer Map Pack disc (early 2007 to the disc's mid-2005 release). With the closure of the original Xbox Live service in 2010, it's impossible to play on those maps unless they were downloaded beforehand.

Villain Episode: The levels where you play as the Arbiter show the conflict from the Covenant's point of view, with the cutscenes providing insight into their internal politics (and the growing tensions between the member races). The Arbiter himself is initially a straight-up Villain Protagonist, until his Heel–Face Turn near the end.

Classified Information: Johnson's response on how he survived the previous game (See Retcon below). This is a bit of Lampshade Hanging for players who are probably wondering the same thing (the reason is given in Halo: First Strike.) Defied later in the game, upon seeing a Halo ring Commander Keyes wants information and (rightly) makes it clear she will not tolerate this as an answer.

Short-Range Shotgun: The shotgun deals even more damage than it did in the first game, with a point-blank blast sufficient to kill anything less than an Elite Ultra on Normal difficulty. However, the damage drop-off is incredible, with the damage being nearly halved at a distance of only a couple meters.

 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_bf698238

When All You Have Is a Hammer…: Sort of; Tartarus only ever uses his ceremonial gravity hammer throughout the game. However, said hammer is outfitted with a powerful gravity generator that allows it to one-shot even light vehicles (and, as shown in cutscenes, allows it to be used as a ranged weapon), which, when combined with his near-impenetrable energy shield and insane natural durability, makes him incredibly dangerous.

Hold the Line: This game loved having setpieces on elevators and gondolas, in which you were tasked with holding off waves of enemies until your ride reaches its destination. This game has about half-a-dozen sequences of this nature; "Regret" has two! The developers did seem to realise that they maybe overplayed this trope a bit here, as future Halo games are much more restrained with using them.

Mêlée à Trois: All over the place in this installment, due to showing the Covenant's side of the war as well. The Oracle is the Covenant vs. the Heretics vs. the Flood. The Sacred Icon pair of missions is a four-way between the UNSC, the Covenant, the Flood, and the Sentinels. We don't see much of the UNSC's side of this particular battle, since Marines are never directly fought as enemies. Gravemind sees the Master Chief and the marines he rescues get caught in the crossfire of the Great Schism. Sadly, the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters don't seem too keen on an Enemy Mine. Yet. In High Charity, the Flood join the fray.

The generic UNSC Marines got way more competent in this game. They're more accurate, they've learned to drive multi-passenger vehicles (though not particularly well), and they're about 50% more durable compared to the first game, being roughly on par with a Blue Elite in terms of how many hits they can take now. They're actually pretty helpful when they appear, as long as you throw any submachine guns and shotguns they're holding into the trash and replace them with Battle Rifles and Sniper Rifles. Give one a rocket launcher and the marine's good aim and unlimited ammo will usually let him rack up almost as many kills as you.

Developer's Foresight: The Final Boss, Tartarus, is supposed to be weakened by baiting him into the view of Sergeant Johnson and his Beam Rifle. If you brought a Beam Rifle of your own into this battle, you can also use that to down his shields as well. This game introduces the ability to switch weapons with your allies. They'll react appropriately when given a stronger or weaker weapon. Johnson in particular is outspoken about it. Some of his comments: "I thought we were friends, Chief!" and "That hurts, Chief. That hurts real bad."

Fake Ultimate Mook
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_da32aec9
comment
Hunters have received various minor tweaks to make them less of a Fake Ultimate Mook; they're much larger, are harder to bait into performing a melee attack (which exposes their weak points), and can now perform a 180-degree attack behind them to hit anything trying to shoot them in the back. Their armor also now completely negates damage, instead of merely reducing it. Their weak points also have proper coding to act as actual weak points and not "instantly kill them with a single pistol bullet" points, on top of the pistol being nerfed so it doesn't kill them in one shot. They still die to one weak point hit from a sniper rifle or beam rifle, though, and a direct grenade hit will confuse them and cause them to spin 180 degrees around, exposing their weak back. They do have somewhat less raw health than they did in the first game, but this is offset by their more intelligent use of their shield and their armor now offering 100% damage resistance.

Updated Re-release: Like Combat Evolved Anniversary, this one has a complete graphics and sound overhaul while 100% faithfully retaining the original gameplay engine. Unlike the former, the in-engine cutscenes are replaced by pre-rendered cinematics courtesy of Blur Studios, though the player can switch between them and the original cutscenes as they're playing. The Anniversary graphics also feature a greater degree of original assets, with the majority of Prop Recycling instances being edited to better conform to the design of their classic graphics counterparts. This stands in stark contrast with CEA, which recycled the majority of its assets from Halo 3 and Reach, with only a few changes made to fit CE's aesthetics and animations.

"Gravemind" has another Glitch Entity in the form of the Honor Guard Councilor.

On the intentional side, this is the only mission with Spec-Ops Elites and Grunts as enemies, as well as one Elite with a Fuel Rod Gun at the end.

comment
Nerf: While their shields are about the same as before, Elites have less than half as much relative health as they did in the first game (or in Reach). An unshielded Elite can take about as many hits from bullet weaponry as an equally ranked Grunt. They are however even more resistant to plasma weaponry than before, such that they can still survive about the same number of plasma bolts as the previous game despite having half as much health. They're also a lot less agile and evasive than they were in the first game, but do behave more tactically such as sticking into a cover position or mantling up on high positions for a better firing angle. The pistol is no longer the Punch-Packing Pistol it was in the first game, dealing about half as much relative damage, no longer having a scope, and no longer counting as a sniper weapon when it comes to the Hunter weak points. Justified in that the pistol in Halo 2 is a completely different weapon firing more standard armor-piercing rounds rather than the explosive-bullet Hand Cannon from the first game. The plasma pistol has also been toned down, with its damage against enemies reduced so it now deals less damage than the plasma rifle against NPCs, rather than more. It now does about half as much relative damage as it did in the first game, likely to balance out the fact it can now be dual wielded. The SMG is functionally equivalent to the assault rifle from the first game, with the same accuracy, rate of fire, and magazine capacity, but it deals about 7 relative damagenote actually 4.75 damage, because all games from Halo 2 onward have stats based on multiples of 7 rather than the more typical multiples of 10 used by the first game and many other FPS instead of the 10 damage the assault rifle did, and the total ammo is drastically cut down. On the other hand, you can use two of them at once for an even more impressive wall of lead, or it and a plasma weapon in each hand to cut down on the number of bullets needed to cut through an enemy's shields.

The game was launched on Nov 9th, 2004, and the servers officially shut down on Apr 15, 2010. Officially, that is; several players hung on until getting booted on May 11th.

Drives Like Crazy
 Halo 2 (Video Game) / int_f96f188c
comment

However, you should not let them drive you around; if your first thought while seeing a Warthog is "Oooh, that turret looks sweet, I call it!" instead of "You take the turret, I'll drive", you'll come to regret your decision pretty quickly.
