hey, i just thought, seeing as no box art has been announced, i was thinking of what it would be, i mean, it would have ot be something pretty special, i felt that the ocver art of the first didnt do the game justice.... for this one.... i think it should be the chief standing tall, with the skyscrapers of new mombasa in the background, with pelicans and convenant ships fighting in the sky, and back a bit, marines getting thier asses kicked by brutes in the street....

It will be sweet whatever it looks like. I have faith in Bungie.

Yeah that sounds pretty cool. Actually have you seen the whole page of the art for the first box? Cos it continues past where the spine would be with like a scorpion tank and marines trying to hold a defensive line and stuff like that. It's a wee bit empty, but pretty cool.

-edit- Sorry just dug it out and it's just another piece of art with the chief and symbol slapped on top, it was for the halo pc launch kit. Sorry, forget I said anything. I'll just go remove my foot from my mouth now...

If you guys want to see some cool covers, I suggest that you check out the HBO cover art contest. Some of those guys did a great job of making convincing covers. They're great for April Fools... or just fools. ;-)

I wouldn't care if Bungie released the game in a brown paper bag with Halo 2 written on it with a Sharpie....I just want the game NOW!

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

uhhh...u realize that in the long run, theres proly gonna be a whole lot more important things in the game than the not-even-in-the-game-for-sure New Mombassa environment,for example, the assault of the covenant homeworld. just a thought, but if they're gonna put something important on it, it'd sumthing more like that.

Course they'll have a close up of the Chief, then some stuff going on in the background. Maybe the invasion of Earth or something.

Yeah. Rayman 3 got a holographic box (In the UK where I am anyway) and Sonic Heroes has the title in shiny silver. Halo 2 is going to be far superior to these and I believe it deserves a gritty war-torn look. Didn't Frankie say in an update weeks ago now that the art lady (Lorraine?) had been working on a new box and posters and that they looked ace and he wished we could see them? I'm dissapointed at the moment when I visit websites such as Amazon and they just have a box with Chief's head on. Doesn't make it look very appealing.

yeah, but you realise that the covenant homeworld thing, will probrably be a major part of a big plot twist, so they wont wanna give it away, not everyone knows that halo 2 is going to covenant homeworld, but every halo fan knows it set on earth, and has seen the e3 video... but your right, maybe not something with so much detail just a chief shoulder-up shot where you can see a blurred image of earth on his visor.... id settle for that.... but my first one would undoubtably look cooler...
