just think.

about 50 dropships land on the beach and discharge marines and the remaining Spartans.the Pelicns open up with their 70mm chin guns,taking out guard towers and turrets before retreating.the Covenant Shades begin to open fire on the UNSC forces,but the snipers and rocket jockeys take them out quickly. The soldiers begin to make their advance on the Covenant fortification,and this is where the casualties begin to start. Bullets and plasma bolts criss-cross the beach,and soon the sand is littered with bodies of marines and Covenant alike.The Spartans meanwhile,are flanking the Covenant while they are distracted. They then make their move. they rush into the main Covenant bunker with SMG's blazing,shredding the Covenant in seconds. they then proceed to rig the complex with satchels of C-7 foaming explosive and Fury-Tac nukes. the Spartans evacuate the complex and go to help with the battle outside. The Spartans draw out their Battle rifles and pick off the Covenant leaders and Shade gunners,which causes the enemy's organization to fall apart.the marines then pull together and open fire all at once,hammering the Covenant position with a hailstorm of 7.62mm.the remaining covenant forces are decimated in a matter of seconds. Mission accomplished.

Sorry Nedus, but Bungie beats you down... but then, that's their job isn't it? This is an actual part of Halo2, confirmed by the EGM guys who promply crapped in their pants when it was shown to them on their visit.

First you have a forerunner pyramid structure like the Control Room building from Halo. Covenant are swarming about on it. Suddenly, the sun is blotted out and a mammoth dropship, as big as a dozen pelicans lands before it.

The doors open up and out rush Scorpions and Warthogs, marines slip out of the hatches and start laying down suppression fire. Snipers on ATV's rush out and climb the nearby hills looking for good angles of fire.

In short, all hell breaks loose. Hunters and tanks taking each other out, snipers picking off jackals from the sides... you name it, it's happening.

I kid you not good sir. I didn't write it at first because I was looking in the Press Scans area of HBO for it. Unfortunately... I couldn't find it there. If I can find my copy of the magazine I'll see if I can scan it and send it in to them.

Bullets and plasma bolts criss-cross the beach,and soon the sand is littered with bodies of marines and Covenant alike.Undaunted,the Marines continue their assault.Snipers take beads on hapless targets,the steady crack crack of their rifles echoing in the Covenant's ears before the 14mm bullets snatch away their lives in a spray of gore.Covenant troops are torn to pieces by frag grenadesSome Marines grab fallen MA5B's to dual wield and start unloading.Warthogs run victims down and fire rockets at the Covenant..a couple Scorpion tanks begin to open up on the remaining guard towers.The Covenant's pathetic response to this assault is to send out a force of about 50 Ghosts.they are ripped to pieces in minutes by the sudden barrage of 90mm shells,7.62mm bullets,and Warthog rockets that comes their way.The Spartans meanwhile,are flanking the Covenant while they are distracted. They then make their move. they rush into the main Covenant bunker with SMG's blazing,shredding the Covenant in seconds. they then proceed to rig the complex with satchels of C-7 foaming explosive and Fury-Tac nukes. the Spartans evacuate the complex and go to help with the battle outside. The Spartans draw out their Battle rifles and pick off the Covenant leaders and Shade gunners,which causes the enemy's organization to fall apart.the marines then pull together and open fire all at once,emptying their clips,hammering the Covenant position with a hailstorm of 7.62mm and PDW.the remaining Covenant forces are decimated in a matter of seconds. Any remaining Covenant cowering in the complex are flash-vaporized by the ensuing explosion. Mission accomplished.

No Pictures. Bungie didn't want to release any of that back then. You have to remember this was way back before even the 2003 single player demo.

That was the first and best source of all Halo2 information until the last couple of months.

that's even better, but read Draerden's post above about the EGM article on the matter, but anyway that was awesome and i think you should keep expanding on it
