While I was reading through the July issue of OXM, I saw a small section for Halo 2 saying
"Well have a full hands on report next issue, but heres a quick rundown of what they showed:
* A gorgeous level called Zanzibar that kind of reminded us of the Wolfenstein 'beach' map.
* Location-based destruction of a ghost and warthog, complete with delayed secondary explosions.
* Interactive elements of the level, such as a secret door at the front of the base and a ramp that you can lower on the second level for easyer flag access as well as destructabe architecture.
* Duel weilding with a Battle rifle and a covenant energy sword, the latter of which you could use to perform a devasatating lunge move.
* Customizable decals on the Spartans shoulders.
* A warthog featuring a rocket turret (a la the PC version of Halo 1)
* Turbo boost on vehicles, which also highglighted the improved physics.
* Homing rockets....and a swankey logo. "
