Check this out.

This seems real to me, but I am probably wrong... Real? or a nice hoax?

They may be preorder cases that were made, so that you can buy the case, then when it actually comes out, bring it back to the store and actually get the game. I don't think that was the coverart...maybe I'm wrong.

It's just display case, and the artwork is of very low quality like it came from a low quality printer. Display only. It's not a hoax but I'm positive it's not the real box art. Don't know why they have so many boxes though, kinda dumb.

I've been to many stores and some of them have different artwork for their display cases. It's just to get your attention so you'll pre-order it or buy it when it comes out.

I think it is just a nice hoax.

I wish it were real though.

Bungie never confirmed what the box art would be, so you can't say, "That is definitly NOT the box art."

looks fake. look at the glare on the real boxes. its not there on the H2 ones. besides, what game store would buy hundreds on pre order cases WITH NO GAME IN THEM? just a thought.

I believe it's a fake. They won't ship a lousy cover like this.
If you look closely, you just see a MC in front of a WH and no real Background. Just grey/blueish.

Someone could just have printed a lot of Covers and putit in empy cases. Since you can buy those green cases for an €uro 10 pieces...

We can't say it's definitely not the box art but I have faith in Bungie that they'd make a better looking case than that. Look at the art for the first Halo, now compare. Why make the second one a sufficiently lower quality?

You know what? I will say that is definitely NOT the real box art.

The game stores MAKE the boxes -- That's at GameCrazy , and yes they are preorder boxes. Not *ahem* real boxes as you would say.

Their real. Their just advertising. And this was also posted yesterday.

[edit] I don't mean real as in: they are actual copies of Halo 2, but real as in: not faked.

i agree with the not a fake image, just advertising idea. in the UK plenty of stores have dummy Halo cases which they use to advertise pre-orders. The images on the front of the boxes are different in diferent stores, as they are probably made by the stores themselves (as another guy has already said in this thread)

If your in the UK, nip down to your local 'Game' or 'Choices' shop to see what i mean

the same thing happened with ninja gaiden. there were a million different covers before the final one was decided like a month before the realease of the game.

Why would the boxes be sealed in plastic if they were just for display? Im not saying they are real, i just find that a bit odd.

I don't see the plastic, no shimmer, glimmer, or reflection.

It's odd that they have so many copies too. Trying to confuse you into thinking it's out, then you'll ask them about it, and then they'll tell you to pre-order it.

made up boxes, but I did go to EBX in the mall, and they had the LE cases, the real ones up for display behind the counter, I asked it see it, it was very VERY nice, I was thinking it was just a slip cover, but the actual case is metal, and opens up nicely.

They must have gone shrinkwrap crazy. Trying to fool their customers into thinking they have it I suppose. Just a ploy for you to ask about it. The closeup further shows the low print quality of the picture.

BUT, it has an ESRB rating. The LE cases that the stores have still have a RP rating, but this has M.
