The Halo 2 FAQ was getting a little bit old and stale so we gave it a much needed updating in light of all the new cool stuff that was revealed at this year's E3 show. If you haven't been keeping up with everything, go read it now and get up to speed pronto or risk being flamed. =)

The new simple and beautiful "2" logo for Halo 2 makes a wonderful desktop decoration. Zoe, our graphic designer responsible for much of the cool stuff on Bungie.net, whipped up this new image for us to share with you.

Zoe also created 3 new Halo 1 wallpapers a while ago but they were never actually posted to the site. If you revisit the Halo Xbox Wallpaper Gallery, you'll see new versions of both 'The Flood' and 'First Strike' as well as the brand new 'Fall of Reach' wallpaper. Good stuff!

Ding Ding!

Just a little error, the First Strike wallpaper is listed as "Book II". Nothing important, but I thought I would point it out.

Kudos to Zoe, the wallpapers look fantastic. I'm currently using the desktop with the "2" logo.

Awesome FAQ update too. Some very cool info in there. :)

In the FAQ it states: "Each player can use an individual box in LAN games (up to 16 boxes) "

Does this mean that split screen LAN games have been dumped? I like the idea of having a full screen game, but the logistics of getting 16 Xboxes and 16 TV's into a house would be difficult, whereas with 4 Xboxes that is more managable.

its good that you can have 16 xbox split screen, but the only time when its gonna realisticly happen is at official events, or if someone happens to have 16 xboxes and 16 televisions , i mean really whos gonna have 16 TV's (other competators could bring their own xbox) in one place at one time

Thsi is prety simple guys, you can hook up 16 X-Boxes for a total of 16 players (one on each box). With me so far? Ok, you can still have 4 Boxes( 4 on each screen) for constant total of 16 players. Pretty much, I believe you can use any combination you want for a total of 16. One guy could have his own screen and 3 guys on another, etc. TO a maximum of 16 Boxes or 16 players.
