Kuja's thoughts on Halo 2 (spoilers)

Several sources have said that if the game is completed on Legendary, something different will happen when the credits roll.

At the very end of the credits a line will come up saying...

"Coming Feburary 9th"

I expect we are looking at more single player levels to be released on that date.

I love beating the crap out of people in the wraith tank but there is nothing like the mid air banshee hijack. I have only done it once myself.

The trick to stopping boarders, at least with Covie craft, is to hit the boost well before they get close. The Ghost can send people flying, and the Wraith can turn them into little grease spots if you time it right.

As for the Banshee, a quick barrel roll is a good way to say "fuck you" to a would-be hijacker.

Confirmed fake by H.B.O. and then by Bungie itself.

They've also stated that they don't have any Campaign Downloadable Content planned.

Beat it on Legendary last night. You get nothing, not even a different ending.

LOL...props for you, but honestly that blows.

At least Halo had something...but nothing after going through uberized Elite and Brutes(I really don't want to think how much a Hunter takes on Legendary) is just cruel.

Brutes and Hunters aren't powered up that much (to be honest, the Brutes seemed easier to kill, but that's probably because it's easier to wear them down than Elites). Also, Arbiter levels are fairly easy since the Covenant units are powered up even when they're on your side.

Although, the last level where you get the Hunters fighting alongside you, they were hit in the face by an ungodly amount of firepower and still beat the shit out of all the Brutes in the first room. Then they were stupid and tried to take out the next group from long range.

Councillor Elites=God. Tartarus went head to head with one and had to hit it twice to take out its shield. Too bad that they're dumbasses and kept trying to kill Tartarus with swords.

Both Old and New News-
If you think Legendary is hard, there are Oddballs hidden around the single player levels, usually on Legendary

The one in Cairo Station makes every Elite upgrade to Spec-Ops with Dual PRs and a Sword for up close, and every Grunt upgrade to Spec-Ops, also. Not sure what it does on Elites that are better than Spec-Ops.

One, "Assasin", in Regret cloaks all enemies. Allies can never see enemies now, even if you're shooting them.

The one in Great Journey ["Blackeye"] removes your shields and slows you down on Legendary.

Cairo Station has "Thunderstorm" which makes Covenant Vehicles tougher

Gravemind has "Angry which makes enemies fire extremely fast

Other, different ones do some amusing things
[
Armory has an unnamed skull that makes enemies weaker,
Outskirts has "Blind" which removes your HUD, weapons, and body from FP view [great for movies],
Metropolis has "Catch" which makes your allies throw more Grenades,
The Arbiter has "Grunt Birthday Party" which makes enemy corpses explode like Plasma Grenades,
Oracle has "Famine" which does /something/
Delta Halo has "Envy" which gives Master Chief Active Camo on his White Button,
Sacred Icon has "Mystic" which does /something/
Quarantine Zone has "Sputnik" which simulates low gravity for the physics.
High Charity has "Iron" which does /something/
Uprising has "Ghost" which does /something/]

LOL...yeah it sounds like it for the Councillor elite...sorta sad too. I mean I used them to distract but was hoping they would actually use their damned noggin.

Well at least the Hunters aren't uberfied in that respect.
