ok this is something you might want to know maby it has been posted....

the people who got to platy this where microsoft employes

In the medium-sized category was Burial Mounds, a desert-themed map with a military base at the center. Most fun on this map was Assault, in which two teams go head to head, one attacking and the other defending. The attacking team has to move a bomb into the defender’s base, while the defenders get to amp up their firepower with new toys, such as mounted turrets. At the end of a round, the two teams switch roles, and the first team to three wins. But, other game types are almost as much fun, and Lord Pi tells the story of a particularly bloody eight-on-eight Capture the Flag game on this map.

It was one-flag CtF, and it ended up taking close to an hour to play. There were so many people that it was a constant struggle to just approach the base. And it wasn’t touch-return, either, which caused my team to have a few flag standoffs inside the enemy base. I remember that there were so many enemies spawning, and the flag was so close to scoring against us, that another player and I went back-to-back on the flag. Enemy players would spawn all around us, but all we could do was kill and wait … and pray for the sides to switch. It was really brutal …

Afterward, everyone was exhausted. Most people remarked that was the best game they had ever played. Yet, after all of the attrition, there were still eight people in the lobby. So, we did the most natural thing: We went for another game … It ended up going just as long, and it was even better.

In the large map category was Waterworks, a huge map featuring two bases at either end and a giant alien machine in the middle. Waterworks may have been inspired by Halo’s Blood Gulch. Like that venerable map, Waterworks is an enclosed area, but in this case, it’s an enormous underground cave lit by a hole in the ceiling. The players attest that this map is ideal for Capture the Flag and that the action was heightened by the range of vehicles available for both teams: Warthogs, Ghosts, and Banshees. But, don’t think you’ll spend your time on Waterworks just navigating from one end of the map to the other. Bungie implemented a “boost” function that allows the vehicles to accelerate to double-speed.

Halo 2 Will Own You
So, what can you expect when the game hits the market? Again, we’ll let char tell it:

Halo 2 is going to kick ass. Multiplayer is going to be a whole new world. I’m sure there are people all over who will have Halo LAN parties with their friends, fragging each other late into the night. Soon, all those people will be on Xbox Live, and it’ll be one big party.

As for daddy nathan and Lord Pi, they were left with great regrets—that Bungie made them return their discs. But, soon we’ll all have a chance to get Halo 2 game discs of our own, sign on to Xbox Live, and blow the bejeesus out of one another. I’ll see you there.
