Remember those people who said they knew someone who played the halo 2 beta. They said there were new levels called Ivory tower and Midship and that the magnum was in. Nobody believed them, people called them spammers.
Now the info on the beta halo 2 is out and it turns out it's all true. I think we should believe more people when they say legitimate sounding things instead of just calling them spammers.

I heard talk of air vents and "elevators" and stuff like that. Sounds very interesting.

The only thing the beta people said about the mag was that it was less powerfull small and black which is plainly impossible because it fires slugs that are twice the size of the orrigional, and the magazine only said there was a pistol. I never heard them talk about midships or ivory tower???

A German Magazine called XBox Zone will have a Hands-On of the Halo 2 Beta in it.

Here is a Summary of the new Infos:

New Maps:

Midship - A Covenant Cruiser.
Ivory Tower - The Top of a giant Skyscraper.
Waterworks - The Stalagnites on the screenshots are destroyable, they can even destroy a Tank if they fall down.

New Weapons:

Covenant Carbine - A Covenant Battle Rifle.
Covenant Energy Sniper Rifle - As the name says.
Brute Shot - A mortar that fires 4 grenades that explode on the second impact.
Pistol - You can use 2 at the same time, thats the only info on this weapon.

Vehicles:

Banshee - The Banshee can do "Loopings" and it can spin around if you hold down A + Directional Buttons. A Banshee can be boarded while it is flying.
Tank - The tank has a new control layout.
Boarding - Only Brutes and Elites can board vehicles, the Grunts an Jackals don't are intelligent enough to do it.

Controls:

The white button is a Team Speak button now, the flashlight is no more. The Directional Pad can be used for Tricks in combination with the A button.

XBL:

- There will be a ranking system.
- There will be DLC, including new maps and "more".
- There will be a Feature called "Virtual Couch", you can play with a buddy and if he leaves the server you will automatically follow him.
- There will be Sword Only gametypes that are really cool.

Thats all for now.
