Prior to the release of ''[[Halo 2]]'', its official website, '''Halo2.com''', was made over to appear as though it were a series of screens at the helm of a [[Covenant]] ship. The site made use of a substitution cipher to depict the [[Covenant Language]] of triangle groups in a way easily understood by determined ''Halo'' fans. The content of the text was mostly in character, but tended to stray into humor. | Prior to the release of ''[[Halo 2]]'', its official website, '''Halo2.com''', was made over to appear as though it were a series of screens at the helm of a [[Covenant]] ship.

Before the launch of the site in its Covenant theme, the front page featured a link to the ''Halo 2'' trailer in addition to a message in the Covenant language. This message read: ''ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US AND WE LOVE BEES'', referencing a popular Internet [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us meme] as well as the [[i love bees]] [[Alternate Reality Game]], which was running at the time to promote ''Halo 2''. After the site's launch, the front page was replaced with a video depicting the control panels of a Covenant ship loading the program that made up the site's content. | Before the launch of the site in its Covenant theme, the front page featured a link to the ''Halo 2'' trailer in addition to a message in the Covenant language.

===Profiles=== | |||
There were sections depicting various elements from the game, including Covenant characters and weapons of both the Covenant and the [[UNSC]]. In addition, the feature of dual-wielding was highlighted. The text displayed the name of the item, usually along with some element of comedy. | |||
===Downloads=== | |||
Initially, some sections were unaccessible. If the user attempted to access them, they would be greeted with a demand for a password. Though many ''Halo'' fans tried, none were able to come up with a password to satisfy the site. Eventually, when the game's release date neared, the sections became unlocked. These sections contained downloadable content such as wallpaper and trailers. | |||
