The Halo 2 Instruction Manual is a guide to Halo 2 that comes in the basic package.

Cortana's Transmission
The first part is a transmission from Cortana that is essentially an overview of the story of Halo: Combat Evolved.

Overview of Covenant Species
This section shows intel the UNSC has on Unggoy, Sangheili, Mgalekgolo, Yanme'e, Jiralhanae, Kig-yar, and San'Shyuum.

UNSC Weapons
The section about UNSC weaponry covers the basics about all Human weapons from the M6C Magnum to the M41 LAAG.

Covenant Weapons
The Covenant weapons part has several sentences about all known Covenant weapons such as the Energy Sword, Plasma Pistol, and Brute Shot.

UNSC Vehicles
The section about UNSC vehicles covers both the M12 Warthog LRV and the M12G1 Warthog LAAV "Gauss Warthog" as well as the Scorpion Tank.

Covenant Vehicles
The Covenant vehicle section contains information on the Ghost, the Spectre, the Wraith, and the Banshee.

Controls
It also shows controls, movement and how to move the character around from place to place. Another thing is the button to switch weapons with allies or fallen ones and to enter vehicles as well. Also you can change the button layout from Default to either South Paw, Boxer, Green Thumb and Legendary.

Options
It shows the options you can choose from, such as Look Sensitivity. It also tells you what the in-game icons mean, such as low ammo, no ammo sign, low flash light battery, low plasma battery, and no grenades.This can be selected during gameplay or through the main menu.

Halo 2 Limited Collectors' Edition
The Halo 2 Limited Collectors' Edition features an instruction manual that differs from the one that comes with the normal edition, as it is presented in the Covenant point of view. Comments on Covenant and UNSC weapons differ, too, as does the layout and color scheme. The Limited Collectors' Edition also ships with the Conversations from the Universe booklet.
