No way. Maybe easter eggs like the ".fortun" thing, but not codes.

Not just no, but he11 no! For good reasons: Halo was a game that excluded cheat codes, that overrode that temptation to use them. It forced to practice and learn if you wanted to be good. it's that simple. cheat codes would ruin the experience.

I would'nt mind easter eggs.

Cheats, although I love em...Halo is not the game that needs them.

The developers at Bungie are the brightest developers in the world. They understand the consequence of the "game over" addiction held by other developers. THat usually ensues in hatred, annoyance, and outright benevolance towards the developer. I would like to go and beat the living day lights out of any game maker that does not let you save in any fashion and consistently displays an obstentatious GAME OVER, or MISSION FAILURE message.

Halo has checkpoints that are distributed very well in the levels. They allow you mop up time, which is basically what happens after you beat the crap out of a whole bunch of nme's. You can collect ammo and what not and then begin again from the checkpoint. It never insults you when you die. It is, simply put, impossible to not beat Halo. You have unlimited tries, and because of this, the game is at once more fun to play. In Halo 2 you really never spend time out of game unless you ended playing and are starting back again. You can play halo cover to cover.


I would not mind however, if bungie allowed us more options in multiplayer. This could be anything from handicaps, or across the board changes. I would like to be able to select the strength of vehicles, from weak (suicide on wheels) to normal, to near invincible. I would like to be able to select things like the amount of time it takes to recharge your shields, and perhaps how high you can jump.

I hate cheat codes. They are for people who arnt good enough to beat the game themselves.

Well,i voted for no.no cheat codes.Halo was all abotu skill eventhough online,some stupid ASSSSS hackers that sucked like hell cuz they couldn't even hit me,had infinite health.Now edventually,they'd kill me.Now,after a year or TWO,maybe a few cheats woudln't hurt.like...playing as an Elite on the campaign instead of using MC,or play as a grunt,those are fun cheats,now..what they shouldn't put as cheats are invicible...<<<<<whats the fun of that?it'd be like beating the game with no AI.Another one..is Invincibility..<<another boring one,u could just stand infront of the enemy..and let him hit you..and ..u could be sipping some caprisun..and maybe melee attack him every once ina while till u kill him,i believe CHEATS like that are garbage for such an understanding-fan-like company like bungie.

When bungie was developing an early version of Multiplayer, they got bored and someone made "Medusa Mode" on one of the debug versions. Whenever anybody so much as looked at the person with medusa mode on just died instantly.

That however, won't be put into the game. they were just messin around.

NO no Never NO! I remember people said that I cheated when I had beaten Halo on Legendary, but then they realized... There were no cheats! Besides, it's -blam!- beating a game with cheats. I think things should be unlockable if you beat the game (like levels and gametypes, and maybe skins)

I think Halo 2 should have cheats. WAIT! HEAR ME OUT! I think the cheats should come in the form of extraordinarily long button strings that would be nigh impossible to figure out. Also, Bungie wouldnt acknowledge the existence of these said strings until years after Halo 2 is released.

Need I bring up Goldeneye? Years later we found out about the button codes after having been told there werent any. By that time Goldeneye wasnt as popular anymore so the inclusion of cheats only served to bring people back to the game.

So I guess what Im trying to say is cheats would be cool, as long as they werent discovered until well after everyone had enough time with Halo 2. It would greatly add to an already epic replay value.

I SAY NO!!!! TOO but they should put easter eggs in the game like they did in the first game. Like on Assault on the COntrol Room where you can get that banshee early on in the game.

I think Halo 2 should have earnable cheat codes, like in perfect dark. you have to earn them, like beat legendary, or beat a level in a certain amount of time or something. Once you earn these codes, you can't use them on Xbox live and if you use them on a level, since they have to be selected prehand, you cant beat that level.(you could beat it, but not earn the next level). Or you cant use the cheats on a diffuculty U haven't beat yet. That way ther're just for messing around.

No, Halo 2 shouldn't have simple button codes... It should, however, have cheats that you EARN by beating levels in a certain amount of time, or with a certain number of headshots, etc.

I remember that when I finally opened up all of the cheats in Goldeneye for N64 back in the day, it was something to brag about. It'd be cool to be able to do that again.

Hit shift when you enter a name in and you should be able to put in a period.
