The Halo 2 desktop lovin' keeps on rollin here at Bungie.net. This latest wallpaper is based off the now famous illustration of Master Chief crouched with two SMGs in hand. This painting, created by Lorraine "mehve" McLees for the cover of OXM magazine last year, has become one of the most widely used and recognizable images for Halo 2. The original cover art contributed to what would later become the biggest selling, most popular issue in the history of OXM.

Zoe has taken the classic pose and added her own personal touches to create one very cool desktop. Enjoy!

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

Very cool, very cool.

Pretty cool, she didnt really add alot of stuff, just the word halo 2, the BR and bullets and a framish look but still good stuff

This post provided by Halo Babies.

I think she added just enough to make it look awesome. Good combination of styles and design!

The symbol is Lorraine's signature. It used to be elsewhere in the image but the Halo 2 logo covered it up so I embossed it into the rockface.
