Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any idea what the Halo 2 subheading will be. Halo:Combat Evolved was relatively simple but effective so any ideas what Halo 2's subheading should be / is?

There isn't one but 'a new hope' sounds good. As in MC gives new hope to the human race with his return.

I reckon they should include one...just for a sense of identity. Subheadings also help to distinguish a game and they sound cool. I reckon something like "The last defence" sounds pretty cool.

Also in the FAQ, it doesn't rule out the possibility of a sub-title.

The FAQ doesn't say there can't or isn't going to be a sub heading. Explain yourself dude...

Not sure if you were talking to me, but in the FAQ it reads like this:
Q: Will Halo 2 have a subtitle, like "Combat Evolved?"

A: No subtitle has been announced at this time. Anything you read or hear is merely speculation

It doesn't say there will be no subtitle, but it doesn't guarantee(SP?) one either. I've read through the weekly update and must have missed something, does it mention a subtitle there?

bungie didnt want the "combat evolved" for halo 1, it was microsofts idea so bungie had to go along with it. now that bungie has proven they can make a great game microsoft should not demand a subtitle for it. unless microsoft tells bungie to add one for halo then there wont be one. i personally think it should stay how it is now, which is just halo 2

I wasn't talking to you pscme, cuz i read it too and I think they'll use another subheading. And although Microsoft chose Halo's subheading I think they'll want to keep a constant theme. Besides, how can a subheading be bad?

Exactly, I know if Bungie does go with a sub-title it will be a cool one. But I'm starting to think they might not. Especially after seeing the special edition cover with just the "2" on it.

How about 'the return of master cheif' or 'the covenant strike back' ?
the metal case is a prototype though.

I still don't really understand why the special edition's case is metal. It doesn't really enhance the game or game experience in anyway...its just a case.

It's just to ratchet up the cool factor.

I seriously don't think they are going to have another Subheading this time, as some others here depicted already. The name Halo 2 speaks for itself. I mean, when combat is evolved already, how much more could it possibly evolve?
So a subheading would be random and lame. Just my opinion. The subheading does not make the game better/worse.
