Just thought i'd post this to clear up anyone who wanted to know something. This info is from the back of the Halo 2 case:

Covenant forces attack Earth, another Halo ring comes into play, and the Master Chief takes the battle to the Covenant

New vehicles and weapons, destructible environments, low gravity, online play, Human vs. Covenant multiplayer battles, improved AI, and more

Better control: sprint at twice normal speed, peek around corners, chain melee attacks into devastating combos

Completely rewritten graphics engine allows previously unimaginable complexity and detail

Multiplayer modes include Oddball, Race, Slayer, Capture the Flag, and exclusive modes only available for play over Xbox Live

Just to point out, thats not the official box, but only a place holder. But yeah, everyone read that very carefully and dont post anything about it anymore (unless you just want to clarify something) or believe anyone but Bungie who tells you otherwise :)

Leaning around corners, like Rainbowsix or Splintercell.

Nice summary, hoprfully people will take the time to look around now.

Yes, pretty much, to walk up to a wall near a corner, press a certain button and only your head/neck will move sidways to 'peek' at whats a round the corner. So instead of moving out of a corner to see whats happening, only your head peeks out.

We havent heard anything about peeking or sprinting for awhile now. I hope they are still in the game. That peeking is really going to come inhandy for stealth situations

I don't think there is a game that is out right now in which you can shoot while peeking. Personally, i think it might take away some of the Halo "feel", You have rechargable shields for christs sake! You don't really need to peek. As for sprinting i dont think you can turn well of shoot.(That may be just for the ghost though)

In either Splinter Cell game you can shoot while peeking. Oh, this time around, it sometimes makes more sense to be stealthy than shoot, so that's why they let you do that. But if you don't like that and want it to be more like Halo 1, then just run around all willy nilly and kill stuff like normal. Oh, and for sprinting, you can't use your weapons while you sprint. If you want to know what it's like to sprint, make a custom game type for oddball, and set it so that the player with the ball runs faster. 2 times faster, to be exact. YOU KNOW HOW COOL IT IS TO GO FASTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE? It's freakin awesome!!!! You gotta try it.
