I heard this rumor that there will be something special included with the limited edition version of halo 2. I know there's the extra disc with the making of the game and screen shots and stuff like that. BUt i've also heard that a action figure or a extra map might also be included. Can anyone give me an answer??

OK, I can't get Live, I can't get broadband, and BECUASE of this I won't get an Xbox. Why? I'm 14, and, living in rural Australia (not my choice, we used to live in Melbourne), there's no broadband bar satellite, which incidently is $AUD 250. Monthly. So no Halo 2 for me until it comes out on PC (which I am guessing it will; Bots and PC were/are the two biggest rumours, and only bots have been debunked).

But even WITH the PC version, out here, the crappy ISP only gives us frickin' 28.8kbps! I CAN'T get a ping of below 300 on Halo, ffs! So there'd better be bots out for PC (but unlikely, I know)...

Seems to me the only reason Bungie didn't include bots is because they didn't feel like it.
I'm sure the market research they did indicated that most people would want bots in Halo 2.
Either they didn't include bots so more people would play online, why I don't know.
Or they tried to add bots in the test versions and it didn't work out well, so they just removed the bots.

The reason they are releasing Halo 2 only for the xBox, is because they want to increase xBox sales and increase their share of the gaming console market.

They'll probably do the same as Halo, and only release Halo 2 for the PC , in about 2 years.

If you don't have High Speed internet, then I can only recommend you play UT2004, the bots have good AI and are good team mates and opponets.

Forgot to add:

I am glad that they are decreasing the power of the Pistol.
That weapon was too powerful, I once took out 3 guys with one clip.

Since I don't plan on buying an xBox, I'll have to wait 2 years to try Halo 2 on my PC.

Gossip and rumors, that's what alot of people live for.
I personally think gossip is one of the most repulsive human habits,
used only to spread lies.

Anyways, one thing that would be cool is JETPACKS.
Imagine flying around with a jetpack shooting other players out of the sky., and on the ground.

But Bugnie didn't put as much effort into Halo 2 as they should have,
because they know it will sell really well based on the popularity of Halo.
