| == Book description ==
| |
| Developed on-site at [[Bungie]] studios and written over four months by the elite '''Piggyback''' team, this guide includes an encyclopedic appraisal of Halo 2's [[Multiplayer|multiplayer]] mode; a full, highly accessible walkthrough for the epic [[Campaign]] mode; and everything on basic play.

| | '''Delta Halo, |
| | | Regret,''' |
| ==Trivia== | | ''Sacred Icon, |
| *Before the release of ''Halo 2'', the page for it at Xbox.com was [[Halo2.com|made to look]] as though it were a series of screens at the helm of a [[The Covenant|Covenant]] [[Covenant starship|ship]], complete with a Covenant language made of triangular shapes. The Game Guide uses a few of these characters to denote the placement of Covenant vehicles on their maps.
| | Quarantine Zone,'' |
| *On the Contents page, [[John-117|Master Chief]] is shown about to kill a [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] on [[Earth]], which comes from the [[Halo 2 E3 Demo]] trailer.
| | '''Gravemind,''' |
| | | ''Uprising,'' |
| ==Errors==
| | '''High Charity,''' |
| *The book wrongly prints that there are achievements in Halo 2 for Xbox, when they are only actually available in [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)]].
| | ''The Great Journey.'' |
| *On page 7, there is a misprint that says the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mk VI]] was upgraded; in reality, the armor was upgraded ''to'' Mk VI in the first level, [[the Heretic]].
| | All '''Bold text''' are with the M.C. All ''Italic text'' are with the Arbiter. |
| *On page 13, the reloading signal is depicted as three bullets; in the game, the reloading symbol is a circular arrow.
| |
| *On page 41, the guide claims that a [[Unggoy|Grunt]] [[Unggoy Minor|Minor's]] [[Unggoy combat harness|armor]] is yellow, when in fact it is orange.
| |
| *On page 46, the strategy guide calls a [[Kewu R'shi'k-pattern plasma rifle|Brute Plasma Rifle]] a Brute Plasma Pistol.
| |
| *On page 30, the guide incorrectly labels the [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun]] as the [[Fuel rod cannon]].
| |
| *On page 110, there is a [[Sangheili]] [[Honor Guard]] with blue ([[Sangheili Minor]]) armor.
| |
| *On page 119, the strategy guide mistakenly called the [[Enforcer Sentinel|Enforcer]] a "[[Aggressor Sentinel Eliminator|Sentinel Major]]". However, it stated that the Covenant called it "Enforcer" on page 118.
