Yes, another one is on its way. OXM has announced over at their plain ole' boring website (no offence) that their next June issue (should come out in early May) will have a Halo 2 info blowout (can be found in the bottom right hand corner). This must of been the second magazine that the folks at Bungie have been chatting about, said to have more uber juicy Halo 2 info. Just thought you guys wanted a heads up to stow some cash away, or just look at the flashy pictures of your friends' copy when they aren't looking. This is all depending ont he fact that when they say "... a game that rymes with JLo Too..." that they actually, and hopefully, mean Halo 2. Anways guys I'm out.

Don't forget Frankie, considering her was the Executive Editor of OXM before he made the switch over to Bungie (which I'm thankfull he did, love the updates dude, keep em coming). Anyways I still think OXM should of had the right away to Halo 2 info. Ah well, I'm sure whatever they have it will be worth the read... and money *starts to worry*

If you're asking why OXM didn't get a Halo exclusive before anyone else, they did. Their #1 selling issue was a Halo 2 exclusive.

Good to hear, the more Halo 2 info the better :) And I hope its actually REAL update this time, not a paragraph that takes up a quarter of a page.

The first ever Halo 2 preview wasn't done by OXM or GI it was done by EGM back in the November 2002 issue (I worshiped that issue). It had all the info. that OXM reported on and that GI reported on. The feature was 24 pages and it had the first ever pics of the Battle Riffle, the SMG, the new MC, the ATVs and drawings of the Prophet and Brute. The cover picture is that wallpaper of the MC falling backwards done by an EGM artist.

The cover was actually drawn by Craig Mullins, a freelance artist that has done work for Bungie dating all the way back to the Myth and Marathon days. You can see some of his work on our site if you look around.

The new GI and the upcoming other mag do have some juicy bits of information, but it will be really hard to eclipse the first-ever true look at Halo 2 that EGM had 2 years ago.

That cover art is some of the best I've seen in a long time, for any game!
