I dont know if this has already been posted or not, but I'm going to post it anyways. Today in a Canadian Newspaper (the Toronto Sun), Xbox Canada released 3 new Halo 2 multiplayer screenshots. I will try and get them to you guys if possible later on. The first screen features the Master Chief (wearing red MJOLNIR armour) carrying a battle rifle, nothing spectacular or new with that one. The second is a massive battle scene at the new MP map -- Waterworks, where there is a Master Chief (I believe he is wearing either green or sage MJOLNIR armour) making use of a ghost and look on toward a plasma grenade exploding high upon the tower of the red base. There is also a banshee flying high in the air performing airstrikes on unsespecting opposition. I counted ten player in total in that screenshot, just in case you are wondering. The third screen is another on from Waterworks
(by the way, the maps are unbelievably huge, seriously) where a pink Master Chief has found a good vantage point with a S2 AM sniper rifle (I cant tell if they have made any modifications to the weapon or not unfortunately). Below him looks to be a large red base dug into the side of a cliff and explosions both from plasma and frag grenades as well. Another banshee is soaring through the air firing small plasma bolts at a trooper in a alcove of the base. As I said I'll try to get the screen shots on here through my scanner in the next hour or so. Here is the article in case your interested:

Like the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa's body or the exact silicone content of Britney Spears' breasts, some things remain absolutely, inscrutably unknown, no matter how much we might be compelled to speculate about them. (For the record, Britney is all natural. No idea about Hoffa, though. Probably chewing the fat with Elvis in some rural Nebraska rest home.)

Take Halo 2, for instance. The sequel to the best-selling game on the Xbox, and one of the single best gaming experiences of this generation, is due out sometime this fall. And yet at this point we know hardly anything about it.

Yes, it's a continuation of Halo's storyline, as the armed-and-armoured Master Chief returns to Earth to battle the alien Covenant horde on his own turf. Yes, there will be new weapons, new vehicles, new enemies and all-new locations.

And yes, it will have extensive multiplayer modes built around the recently upgraded Xbox Live service, and will probably suck away more otherwise productive hours of your life than every reality TV show ever made, combined, to the power of 10.

But with Halo 2 developer Bungie locked up tight and guarded by the protective minions of Microsoft, trickles of information are being released like carrier pigeons from a prison camp, only to be seized upon by we, the ravening fans eager for any news of the game's progress.

Which is why this week we're taking the lid off these new, exclusive screenshots from Halo 2, courtesy of our friends at Xbox Canada. It's the first time you'll see these images in any Canadian publication (and heck, maybe even the world).

Possibly, they dont release the Game Informer magazine in Canada, not that I'm aware of, so this is more toward Canadian fans who havesn't seen them yet.
