Recently, I went to Amazon.com and typed in Halo 2 and was surprised at what I found. Under "Features," the website stated;


-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


Some of these features are known to be confirmed, but others, like the new halo ring and melee combos are not. Are these just rumors put on by Amazon.com? Does Bungie have any affiliation or say in what is included in Amazon.com's description? I highly doubt that any of this is official, I just find it strange because I have known Amazon.com to be generally truthful.

both the melee combos and the other ring (actually it is plural in the faq) have been confirmed and discussed many times here.

I have heard of all that on these forums, while yes not all of them have been confirmed, Amazon is probably going to post any info they can just to boost sales

Actually, the other rings are confirmed and so are the melee combos.

In the 2003 E3 video he melee combos a brute, and in Combat Evolved the moniter says two things: that the first Halo's number is 004, and that "once the others follow suit, the galaxy will be quite devoid of life" as in, other rings.

It is obvious that there are other rings, but it has NOT been confirmed as to whether or not these rings will "come into play."

In the interview with Peter Parsons, the question, "Will we see another Halo ring?" was asked and Parsons stated that he could not answer that question.

Also, there is no information as to whether or not there will be another ring in the game stated in Bungie's FAQ.

oh my god not you again flood inspection. Do not answer him. He has no common sense. He made another thread about if there were going to be flood in h2 but is just very skeptical and will ot listen unless you have so much proof that you have already played the game. He won't listen that it is confirmed that there are other halo rings even though BUNGIE THEMSELVES HAS CONFIRMED IT!!!!!!!!!

no you don't understand. this guy doesn't listen he is the biggest skeptic ever. If you can find the topic he made you will see that he doesn't listen and won't except the proof you provide unless you have played the game whcich not very many people have. I was not being harsh at all.

I'm not saying it hasn't been confirmed.... But where did you guys find it? I mean, yes, its common sense. Don't get me wrong, I too think that another ring will come into play. I just want to know whether or not Bungie has confirmed it and whether or not I should trust Amazon.com.

bungie confirmed in an interwiew I think and most of that stuff was confirmed. I don't know if all of it was but i think they all were. And if you are pretty sure that there will be more rings than stop asking for proof. I haven't played the game and you haven't either. It was in an interwiew though.

In the 10 minutes (first level, i think) trailer, u c MC Combo meleeing a Brute(three hit combo) and it falls to the ground, MC makes sure it is dead by shooting at it 2-3 times, and bungie has confirmed about another halo ring!

I said something about Brutes not being flood, I thought thats what he was talking about from the video, but I realized that was his thing to prove melee combos

Yeah, now I remember the melee in that video. As for the Halo rings, I don't know if they will be in the game, whether or not it has definitely been confirmed, but it is very likely.
