The official halo 2 strategy guide is coming out Nov 3rd. Seems odd to me... but it will tell us EVERYTHING. We will know about the flood, the new covenant race that we havent been told about, wew could look through the levels and see all the CENSORED things. Seems kinda odd though... why would Bungie build such intolerable anticipation till Nov 9th... but then destroy it 6 days earlier?

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

All of the smart people won't buy it.

Even if you do read it all, nothing will compare to playing the game. And you could always not read it until after you have done Halo 2.
I would still read it eventually like I did the first one as they are full of pointless and useful information that will appeal to most Halo fans

There is really no point in buying it unless you have problems on a level and cannot beat the level. Buying it just so you can know the plot is a waste of money. The plot will be one of the best ever so why find out a great plot ahead of time.

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

There's gotta be some mistake here. I don't understand. Why release a guide for a game that's not even out yet? Nov 3 is probly the shipping date not the newstand debut date or something. I can't possibly see why secretive Bungie would pre-empt their biggest release ever like this.

Just my thoughts, and if it does come out I will avert my eyes from even looking at the cover... Nov 9th is the day my questions get answered.... hopefully.

It would ruin the game if you read it beforehand. I mean if you knew the about the flood it the first encounter with them wouldnt be half as terrifying.

O but people in america will be able to hear about hand-on gameplay because Euroupe get Halo2 half a day earlier =P
