It's also looking like sniping will be a whole lot easier now that the maps are twice the size of the original ones. There are objects everywhere that can be turned into hide outs for a sniper. You can also sniper with the main assault rifle now since it has a scope/zoom.

They made the radar light red?

Radar light?

Do you mean the hud color? It's pink/purple like that when you play as a Covenant in multiplayer (Campaign ).

Picked up Halo 2 at Best Buy this morning around 10am (they still had a few hundred copies of each).

I've played for about 4 hours and I give it two thumbs up. It really is as good as the reviews/previews.

like i said i been playing since about 1230 am last night and i havent read the booklet, but for the other people that have played, did they actually just take away the health and leave the shields and thats it. When you are shot the shield go's down but of course regenerates but i dont see any health bars like in regular halo

No health indicators??? Are you sure setting didn't get changed...? (It has been a longggg time you've been awake. )

And a question on Elite vs. Spartan choice: Does the type you play as aftect anything? (Important, that is. Not just the color/appear. For instance, can you jump as high?)

Geez, you make it sound like red radar lights are rare in video games.
