Trivia

 * Before the release of Halo 2, the page for it at Xbox.com was made to look as though it were a series of screens at the helm of a Covenant 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.
 * Instead of showing it as a circular arrow, the reloading signal on page 13 depicts it as three bullets.
 * A misprint in the the strategy guide mistakenly called the Enforcer a "Sentinel Major" on page 119. However, it stated that the Covenant called it "Enforcer" on page 118.
 * Another misprint in the stategy guide calls a Brute Plasma Rifle a Brute Plasma Pistol on page 46.
 * The book wrongly prints that there are achievments in Halo 2, they are only in Halo 2 Vista
