 the Junkyard: About Halo 2
Halo 2, the sequel to the extremely popular game Halo: Combat Evolved, was one of the most anticipated announced games for the Xbox console.
Unlike Halo: CE, if you kill one enemy, say with the sniper rifle, others will notice (in other words, the sniping spree you go on in the Halo: CE level Truth and Reconciliation is not exactly possible.) Enemies are able to move to other areas to better thwart your attempts to kill them.
Halo 2 is a worthy sequel to the award-winning Halo: CE, and has gained much of the respect that Halo: CE also commands.

But, the biggest news is that the Elites are falling out of favor after the loss of the Halo, and a new race—the Brutes, whose name is incredibly suitable—are moving in to fill the void.

Then, you have the covenants utilizing their starships and pulverizing colonial planets (mind you attacking some far off colony is easier then attacking the heart of humanity, now they are basicly trashing earth in halo 2).
Perhaps the Covenant's continued use of plasma weaponry against the Flood is yet another demonstration of their inability to improvise and adapt to a situation; their zeal forces the use of their god-sent tools.

I've seen a few threads on the marathon story forum and hbo that theorize the Covenant are attacking humans because they believe humans are the Flood.

The Star Wars blasters are more lethal than the Covenant plasma weapons (from what I've seen) since one blaster shot can kill an armored trooper, whereas a relatively unarmored human can withstand several shots from a Covenant plasma rifle.
I had to modify the Covenant to the D20 system, and I wanted them to be as true to the games and books as I could get.

If you think that a quick trigger finger is going to let you plow through the Covenant in "Halo 2," then there is a body bag with your name on it.
This is a key point in how the Halo AI works: Because the characters are forced to perceive the world around them, they are, in many ways, limited like the player by their senses -- in their overall awareness of what is going on around them.

We're thinking three attacks: melee button for a slash attack, right trigger for a stab, and, if the opponent's back is turned and you target them, a stealthy, one-hit kill.
Long ago, when "Halo 2" was only a distant dream, and fan boy chatter and questionable screen shots were all we had to go on, the ATV was a sure shot to be a new vehicle in "Halo 2." November 9th, 2004 came and went with no such vehicle.
