I just read an article in PCG 142 (UK) and I'm somewhat confused. Here's the two lines which I noticed most: "Speaking of multiplayer, if the recent beta is anything to go by, the PC version of Halo 2 will be glorious" "Playing the Flood in multiplayer will be halarious".

Now, this is not a magazine to herald rumours. And if those two lines were mistakes, they're pretty significant to have made it into the final edit. I was left asking myself "what recent beta is this?". As far as I know there was no xbox beta release owing to the nature of the console, you can't download betas like you can on PC. But surely they can't be talking about a PC beta? And what's this about playing the Flood in MP? I think it's possible they meant to say Covenant, because I've certainly heard nothing about Flood in Halo 2 what so ever, nevermind as a playable race.

Interestingly enough, there is a UT2004 mod being made which allows you to play as Any character from Halo, be it Chief, Grunt, Elite, Sarge, Flood... and there's pelicans. All rendered beautifully in the superior UT2004 graphics engine, which means smoother play for weaker computers. Even Halo 2 doesn't have that much variety.

Can you link us to the UT2K4 mod? I'm very interested by that.

Its too bad they're not making any Single player mods for it. That would be awesome. The UT2k4 engine still rules.

Heyyo,

Im not sure if i believe it. For one, "hilarious" is spelled wrong. Also, if you have BF:V, theres already a pretty sweet Halo 2 mod out for it.

1) The spelling mistake was mine.

2) On what do you base your assumption that we're all idiots? You're the one who can't spell 'you'.
