a5c7b9f00b Master Chief must defend Earth from invading Covenant forces. After the events on the Forerunner ringworld Halo, Master Chief SPARTAN-117 returns home to Earth with the AI construct Cortana. The war with the Covenant forces is still not going well, despite the destruction of an entire fleet at Halo, but the Master Chief needs a refit. Armed with the Mjolnir Armor Mark VI, he is on his way to a decorations ceremony with the thought-to-be-dead Sergeant Johnson, when Covenant forces emerge from the Slipstream into Earth space. But something is wrong: the fleet is much smaller than the one used to destroy Reach, humanity's former frontline stronghold. The Master Chief and Cortana, along with Commander Miranda Keyes and the crew of In Amber Clad, must fight off the Covenant and protect Earth, a battle that will take them across the galaxy to a new planet, which is disturbingly familiar…Meanwhile, the Prophets, leaders of the Covenant, are not pleased with the Elite Commander that allowed the Master Chief to destroy Halo, and he is branded a heretic. But even Heretics have their uses. He is to become the new Arbiter, a warrior for the Prophets' will, destined to die in glorious battle like all the other Arbiters before him. But deep in the Covenant, rumors are spreading about a Jiralhanae take-over. Can the Arbiter uncover this treachery in time to save the Elites? on November 9th history was made over 2.5 million copies of halo 2 were sold on first day,2 million people on xbox live(doubled the original amount and doubled,amount of xbox's bought at video game stores,beat out the original,was called game of the year by many websites,created over 1000 LAN parties, and was the most anticipated game in history, and it also got the #1 spot in gamespy's best xbox game.The success of halo 2 is undeniable it has revolutionized both xbox live and FPS gameplay that has outmatched even Halo Combat evolved which was the killer app for the xbox and halo 2 is now judged by many FPS's which none have even come close to proving that they were better to no surprise and halo 2 was put to the test by sony computer entertainment(Microsoft's rival and Microsoft's owns bungie which created halo and 2)sony owned guerilla games which created killzone exclusively for the ps2(sonys video game system)which the media said would be the halo killer.It did not live to its expectations and fell short until halo 2 which proved that no game could challenge the halo franchise which was one of the best FPS's ever made and halo 2's graphics, gameplay, sound, story are nothing short of brilliant and halo was 10/10 now Halo 2 is cranked up to a 11/10 Halo is probably one of the hardest games in history to follow-up. But alas, after three years of waiting, the fans are finally served a huge amount of 'Flippin sweet' in this incredible masterpiece that shouldn't be even considered a game. Halo 2 creates a genre of its own. It's still a first person shooter, but there are so many things about this game that put it into this 'own genre' I like to call: Impossibly good. Its so awesome that it is nearly inevitable to play for hours on end just to beat your friend down for that one-millionth time in a multiplayer game. So what if the ending is a huge cliffhanger? The games story is so excellent and mezmorizing, its easy to forget about it. Awesome doesn't even kiss the feet of Halo 2.
