Now, yesterday I brought halo's official strategy guide by Prima, I just brought it for my collection of halo things really. I got talking to the guy in EB GAMES and he told me that halo2's strategy guide is being released before the game comes out. But, I looked at halo's strategy guide and it's terrible! I hope bungie work with prima closely to get there information correct. The info is correct on this guide but the maps are so undetailed it's rediculous. I want real pictures to show where the maps are showing. Another disapointing thing was the lack of info on guns and damage in multiplayer, I want to know how the sheild works when I shot them with a pistol, I want to know shot placement and recoil distant pistol problems??? Shot placement on assualt rifles and shot guns??? where is it. Also tricks on Damnation like jump down for the sheildsthrow a grenage and jump up for the rocket sector, tips like that were not in the book. One other thing is the faster reload trick, when you reload and the clip gets loaded just press the melee attack for a quicker reload, these tips where not there.
I think bungie, prima and play testers need to listen to real halo players for the guide because the community knows more trick than the programmers do. Having said all that, I can't wait for the halo 2 strategy guide, just to own it would be great and I hope the maps and multiplayer are detailed.
If anyone else has any opinions please reply, thanks guys.
