===Explanations===
In this section you'll learn in detail about the new items/weapons/vehicles in
Halo 2.
>>Vehicles
>Warthog
The same old car from Halo. Of course, now it will have better detail because
of the new graphics engine. I was informed by Chris Meanor
(haikumojo@hotmail.com) that the Warthog has two versions : Regular turret and
Plasma Cannon.
# of people it can carry = 3
Description = Driver - Passenger - Gunner
>Junglehog
This new type of Warthog is built for the jungle. It is great to camouflage
all of the passengers aboard.
# of people it can carry = 3
Description = Driver - Passenger - Gunner
>Snowhog
This other type of Warthog is built for a snow terrain. Its wheels look that
of a tank to easily travel through the snow.
# of people it can carry = 4
Description = Driver - Passenger - Passenger - Passenger
>Transporthog
A vehicle whose job is that of its name: to transport. This big version of the
warthog is only for transport
# of people it can carry = 6
Description = Driver - Passenger - Passenger - Passenger - Passenger -
Passenger
>All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
This one man vehicle is the fastest one of them all. It is mostly used to
catch or run away from enemies.
# of people it can carry = 1
Description = Driver
>>Enemies
Note : The "Encounter Them" section means how often you run into them
throughout the game.
>Brute
A very fierce bear-looking enemy. Brutes have the ability to jump on any car
and forcely take you out. You do not want to get in their way.
Strength = XXXXXXX
Encounter Them = High
>Prophet
The leaders of the grunts. Grunts follow the cammands of these ugly-looking
creatures.
Strength = XXX
Encounter Them = Low
>Grunts
The same old creatures from the previous Halo. They're just a little tougher
to defeat.
Strength = XX
Encounter Them = Very High
>Advanced Grunts
These are specialized grunts with cannons (Also in previous Halo). I think
they're in the last level in Halo.
Strength = XXX
Encounter Them = High
>Ultimate Grunts
These are the last versions of grunts. They are as big and strong as a normal
Elite.
Strength = XXXXX
Encounter Them = Very High
>Jackals
These creatures are in the original Halo and are presented in the Halo 2 demo.
Most of them are equiped with shields while others are not.
Strength = XX
Encounter Them = Very High
>Secret Enemy
Enemy you see in the new Halo 2 picture. I contacted Bungie asking if that was
Jackal and they said "NO". They said that these are much more powerful than a
Jackal and can probably even beat a Golden Elite! They did not say the name
though.
Strength = XXXXXXX
Encounter Them = Unknown
>Elites
The same Elites from the previous Halo except just a little tougher to defeat.
Strength = XXXXX
Encounter Them = Medium
>Gold Elites
The same Elites from the previous Halo. The same thing goes for these Elites.

These Elites are the same height as a Brute. They have the ability to jump
very high into the air or call in a group to attack.

This is the last version of an Elite. These elites can have a plasma sword,
become invisible, or call in a group of them to attack.
Strength = XXXXXXXXXX
Encounter Them = Medium

This a mix between the machine gun in Halo and the sniper rifle. This gun is
great for a slow going mission.
Power = XXXXX

This gun is like one of those guns that have six holes to shoot from and is
very heavy.
Power = XXXXXXXXXX

===NEWS===
Just kidding! There is no major news! It just a NEWS section!I found all of
this info in many different places so I'm putting it together to make one
report. (Note : Everything that is written here is considered true)

>>Snowblind (Unknown)
A possible snow covered level in Halo 2. It is said that you can hide a bomb
under the snow to catch your enemies easier.

A huge structure based level with tons of hiding places. The structure at the
center of the level is an alien machine.
>>Burial Mounds
A desert-based level in which ATV's can be driven.
>>Note : The old levels like Blood Gulch and Sidewinter will return.
>>>Convenant Vehicles
>>Shadow
A suprisingly large vehicle used by the convenant capable of carrying 2
passengers and 1 driver. In the back passenger seat the vehicle carries a
plasma gun powerful enough to kill a Brute with one shot.
>>The New Dropship
Capacity to carry up to 20 convenant passengers. Also has a gun like the other
dropship.
>>The Phantom
Vehicle seen in the Halo 2 E3 demo. It can shoot a lazer from the bottom of
it. Bungie also said that later in the game they change.......
>>The Transport Bus
A mini version of the dropship. Mostly used for taking a convenant here and
there. Not much of use though.
>>>Any Other Convenant Information
>>The Convenant Will Be Playable
Elites will be playable in multiplayer. I dont know if any other convenant
forces are playable, nor do I know if there will be more than one class of
human to choose from.
>>The Convenant Attacks
The Convenant can do various of different attacks:
>Teamwork
They can get on each others back to try to reach you if you are on a high
ledge.
>Throw Gun
When the bullets run out on a convenants weapon, they will throw their gun at
you and run away (Except fot Elites).
