Unlock Foundation Map Properly:
As you already know, just completing the game doesn't work to unlock
this map. What you really have to do is to have completed the game.
Then do a co-op game and player two must use a NEW profile, one that
hasn't even started the game. The go to the last level and play it.
When you reach the point where you both have to get in Banshee's and
help your sergeant in the Scarab, player two must get in the Banshee
and do a barrel role to the left, then right, then a loop the loop.
Complete the game as usual, now the NEW profile will allow the New
Map. You can now rename this profile. That's how it is really done.

super lunge with the energy sword:
To do the super lunge you will need an energy sword and any gun with a
scope. except the plasma beam rifle and the sniper rifle. THIS HINT
WORKS BETTER IF YOU USE THE ROCKET LAUNCHER OR THE FUEL ROD CANNON.
first, you want to have your rocket launcher out pointing at a bad
guy.make sure the circle of your rocket launcher is red. if it is what
you want to do is quickly switch the rocket launcher for the energy
sword and press the right trigger. ITS BETTER TO PRESS THE RIGHT
TRIGGER BEFORE THE ENERGY SWORD IS OUT. if done correctly you will fly
at your opponent and kill him. to make the the super lunge more
effective you want to be father away so you can use the scope with the
rocket launcher. but the super lunge will not work if the circle is
blue. well have fun fly across buildings and things.

All Weapons Multiplayer mode - Go up to an Elite with a sword, and
kill him by hit him with a machine gun. Once you have killed him go on
until you get to the next checkpoint. Once have got a checkpoint turn
your Xbox off and then on again. When you go back on to that level
again you will have all the weapons there are.
Unlock Levels - You can unlock the foundation MP map by finishing
campaign mode on easy. There are also two other maps to unlock:
Marathon and Conclusion. Try finishing harder campaign modes to unlock
these levels.
Unlimited ammunition or power - This trick requires levels that have
either Covenant or Marines following you. If you have a powerful
weapon that has very limited power (for example, the energy sword, or
Covenant sniper), or weapons that are very powerful (for example,
Human sniper or rocket launcher) give them to the A.I. following you.
As they use them, the weapons will never run out of power or
ammunition. Also, they can use them very well.
Active camouflage - When in campaign mode as alien, press White to
turn on the active camouflage
At ease position - While in a multi-player game, press D-pad Down. To
other players, you will have your weapon lowered or down to your side.
This may help if you are on your own turf and run into one of your
friends’ right around the corner.
Banshee tricks - When in a Banshee, press A and a direction on the
Left Analog-stick. When in a Banshee, hold A and press Left Analog-stick
Down. The Banshee will do a backflip. To do tricks in a Banshee, press
Left or Right on the Left Analog-stick and hold A to do a barrel roll,
or hold Down + A to do a loop.
Be The Gunner - Get to a 'Hog and jump in the gunner/passenger seat
and let the marines drive. It will be x2 more effective than you
driving (it depends on your skill).
Blue Screen of Death in Zanzibar - In the multiplayer map Zanzibar,
there should be a computer on the upper level on the defense side that
opens up the main gate into the base. After you activate this, the
screen goes blue with the infamous BSOD.
Change splitscreen orientation - To change the screen orientation in a
cooperative game from horizontal to vertical, enter the Xbox console
settings and change the video to widescreen. On a regular display,
this will change the splitscreen from horizontal to vertical.
Defeating Brutes - Get a Plasma Sword from a dead Covenant Elite and
get close enough to the Brute for the half-circle surrounding the
crosshairs to turn red before attacking. You will lunge forward and
get rid of half the enemy's life. Jump into the air immediately
afterwards, and do this a second time to kill him instantly. Both
attacks combined cost only ten ammo points, so this process can be
done ten times in succession, making it an effective way to
crowd-clear Brute patrols near the end of the game. Make sure to jump
in-between each strike so that the Brutes you are fighting cannot
continue to ram you and drain your life.
Defeating Elites - When battling with Elites, do not hit them once
with your weapon. Always hit them multiple times. If you hit them
once, they will have a faster time and kill you with one hit or take
down your shield.
Defeating Floods - Get a Plasma Sword from a dead Covenant Elite and
get close enough to the Flood for the half-circle surrounding the
crosshairs to turn red before attacking. You will lunge forward and
kill the enemy instantly, sometimes killing two or even three if they
are in close-enough proximity to the target. This attack only uses
between two to five ammo points, so it can be repeated at least twenty
times. Note: Do not use this trick on either the small spider-like
Flood or the large bulbous Flood, as the explosion that follows will
damage your shields. To kill the Flood, easily use the sword. It cuts
right through the Flood in one shot, unlike any type of plasma gun.
Defeating hijackers - Use the following trick in multi-player mode
with someone that is trying to steal your vehicle. When you definitely
know that they are trying to board your vehicle, press X to hop out as
they board. This will give you about three or four seconds to blast
them before they can get a bead on you. This requires some skill, but
works very well. It is possible to take out a Banshee, Ghost, and
Warthog with one SMG by doing this.
Defeating Hunters - Get a beam rifle (the Covenant sniper rifle) and
fire it in the middle of their bodies where it is pink. This is more
effective then pumping shell after shell into them. Because they have
the new gun, getting close to them no longer works. There is another
way to defeat them, but it is more costly. First, take your plasma
grenades and throw about two or three of them on their pink skinny
area. Then, get a shotgun (or the strongest gun you have) and pump the
pink spot full of rounds until it is dead. Since they usually appear
in pairs, this can waste a lot of ammunition and grenades.
Defeating Hunters Quick – When you have a team of marines with you,
wait for the hunter to attack one of your marines. Circle around and
shoot it in the middle of the back. It takes fewer shots to kill it.
Killing Hunter with a Particle Beam Rifle - This weapon should have
been named The Hunter Killer. Killing hunter in a forward defences
stance: (Retreat to a distant or behind an object).
The head - Maximum zoom and aim just below the chin at the pink spot.
Fire 4-6 shots, watch you charge gauge fire only when above half way.
Done correctly you won't have to wait for the gun to cool before
resuming fire.
The Chest - Maximum zoom and aim just above the shield (the tiny
strip of expose pink spot). 3-4 shot kill.
The waist - Maximum zoom and aim just below the shield (the tiny strip
of expose pink spot). 3-4 shot kill.
The Side - Maximum zoom and aim expose pink spot. 1-2 shot kill.
The Back - Wait for the Hunter to attack an object or unit. Maximum
zoom and aim expose pink spot in the centre on the back. 1-2 shot
kill.
Defeating Jackals Quick – Use the Needler (dual wield) and shoot it
from a distant. This will destroy the shield and deliver a painful
death quick.
Defeating Regret - To easily defeat the prophet Regret, jump on his
vehicle then hold X to board it. You can then press B to melee him to
death.
Defeating Royal Guards - To easily take down Royal Guards, attack them
with the energy sword. Keep slashing and they will fall after about
three hits. If they hit you first, then it will be curtain for you.
Defeating the Scarab - Instead of following the Marines, go straight
across the bridge. You will find a sniper. Take it, then jump on the
Scarab and shoot all the Elites and pilots or While fighting in the
city level, you have to take down the four-legged scarab which walks
down a giant street with bridges above it. Grab the rocket launchers
next to each bridge and run to the last one. Expel all of the rockets
on the scarab to take out as many covenant as u can before u jump onto
it. Time the jump so u land safely on the scarab's topside. Walk down
the ramp and kill all of the covenant on the upper deck. To make the
next part easier, make sure that u have a couple of grenades. chuck
one down the ramp to the control room and take out the guards on the
ramps. then go down and spray all of the elites and grunts in the
room. the game then goes to video and u have defeated the scarab.
Destroy Vehicles - Since the vehicles can be destroyed, shoot the
Warthog's hub caps or ties, the Ghost's wings, and simply hit the tank
anywhere with a rocket.
Destructible Parts - As you probably already know Halo 2 has
destructible vehicles. Good places to shoot the vehicles are on the
hub cap for the warthog, on the wings for the ghost, and try to hit
the tank with a rocket launcher pretty much anywhere.
Dual wielding recommendations - when dual wielding, it is best to
think about things before you just grab a needler and a plasma pistol,
and have a pistol as your third weapon. You should make it so you have
a good backup weapon; when dual wielding, ammunition can go quite
quickly. Have two plasma rifles (or your choice) and have something
like a particle beam rifle, shotgun, Covenant carbine, or perhaps a
rocket launcher so that you have something to fall back on.
Note: Having two plasma pistols is not a good choice because you
cannot hold the two triggers down, or you will power them up. You must
keep pulling, making this somewhat difficult.
Some suggestions are as follows:
Covenant
Needler x2
Plasma rifles x2
SMG x2
SMG and a plasma rifle
SMG and a plasma pistol
Dual Wielding Tip - When you are in a closed room or a small area
(hallway, small room, etc.) hold one weapon so you can easily throw
grenades. When in a large open area, hold both weapons since grenades
won't have a large impact on what you do.
Extra Ammo - Must be used with dual-wieldable weapons. First, start
with 2 dual wieldable weapons not out at the same time. I\'ll use a
Needler and an SMG as an example, the Needler being the one you want
extra ammo with. Have the SMG out and find another Needler to dual
wield with it. Then, just find another Needler and trade that with
your SMG, and you\'ll have 3 Needlers, and have 3x the ammo than 1.
Easter Eggs: Blind Mode:
At the beginning of Outskirts jump on top of the light on top of the
door with a crouch jump, then jump to the left platform. Turn to your
left and go down the long dark corridor and pick up the skull; it will
say blind and your screen will flash black for a while. In this mode
you can not see your weapon, body, shields, ammo, or radar.
To get rid of this feature use the following method:
1. Turn off your XBOX or Save and Quit.
2. Go to Campaign and select level and choose Cairo Station.
3. Skip the cinematics and then Save and Quit.
4. Go Outskirt and your hud is back.
Fall through floor - On the second level near where the Elites come
out of the coffins, there is this support object coming out of the
ground. When a Grunt is shooting you, jump on the floor support and
you will fall through.
Foundation multi-player map - Successfully complete the game in single
player mode under the heroic difficulty setting.
Have the same primary and secondary weapon while not dual wielding -
This trick can only be applied to weapons that can be dual wielded.
For this trick to work, you need four dual wielding weapons in one
place. Two or three weapons of the total four weapons must be the
same, but remember a minimum of two of same weapon is necessary in
order to have same weapon for both primary and secondary slot. For
example, have two needlers, an SMG and a plasma rifle. To get two
needlers, carry one needler as your primary weapon then select
anything else but the needler (such as the SMG gun) as your secondary
weapon. Note: You cannot select the same weapon as your secondary any
way. Dual wield plasma rifle with the SMG then go to the needler that
is on the ground, hold X, and substitute the second needler with the
SMG gun. Then, throw the plasma rifle away by pressing B. You are left
with the Needler as both your primary and secondary weapon.
Hitch ride on vehicle - Almost any vehicle, you can get a piggyback if
you are not skilled at driving or need a fast ride when someone on
your team is already on a Ghost. This also works with the Scorpion,
Banshee, and the Warthog when you have someone in the gunner seat,
when you are all far enough away from the enemy.
How to take down the Scarab - While fighting in the city level, you
have to take down the four-legged scarab which walks down a giant
street with bridges above it. Grab the rocket launchers next to each
bridge and run to the last one. Expel all of the rockets on the scarab
to take out as many covenant as u can before u jump onto it. Time the
jump so u land safely on the scarab's topside. Walk down the ramp and
kill all of the covenant on the upper deck. To make the next part
easier, make sure that u have a couple of grenades. chuck one down the
ramp to the control room and take out the guards on the ramps. then go
down and spray all of the elites and grunts in the room. the game then
goes to video and u have defeated the scarab.
How to turn invisible with a shied - Fined two items one is blue that
is the one to make you invisible and the other is red that gives you a
shild.
Howard Dean scream - At some point in the game when you are playing as
Master Chief, one of you allies will do the Howard Dean scream while
they are attacking.
Jump faster - Keep pressing Jump to jump faster.
Lock on with rockets - To lock on with rockets, target a person,
vehicle, etc., then hold R until it says that it is locked. The red
reticle will follow the item. Release R to fire.
Marines/Covenant Weapons – Once you clear an area with your marines/covenant, if there
is a very good weapon lying around. Pick it up and give to a
accompanying unit
with an inferior weapon. Such as a S2 AM Sniper Rifle, Covenant
Carbine and Particle Beam Rifle
dropped by a fallen unit or lying around.
The Covenant Carbine is a good close range and long distant sniping
weapon to equip your unit with. This weapon is good in both offensive
and defensive game mode. Accompanying units carrying this weapon go
defensive when under heavy attack. Which mean that you will preserve
your units all the way through a level. This is even more crucial on
the harder game settings.
The Particle Beam Rifle is a deadly mid to long range weapon. I
normally only equip one unit with this weapon. Unit carrying this
weapon have a tendency to retreat when attack at close quarter. In
some instant into enemy and friendly fire. But the unit is very deadly
in large rooms and outdoor areas.
More Effective Killing - On the Warthog, be the gunner or passenger.
Unless you are really good at driving it, you will be much more
effective at killing the enemies.
Particle Bean Rifle - One shot kill - Take cover and max zoom. Aim
just above the head of enemy, bring the cross hair down. Once the head
comes into view fire. Take out sniper and tough enemy from a distant.
Absolutely deadly on the Hunters as well.
Playing as an Elite - After the first four levels of Halo 2 (though it
feels like one smooth ride!), you get to play as the Elite that was
being punished by the Prophets in the intro! Yep you play as an Elite
doing whatever the Prophets want. For the first level you are sent to
a forerunner facility to quell the Heresy therin. The beginning is
easy as you just kill grunts and Elites with the help of your grunt
and elite pals, but near the middle of the level you face another
enemy...the Flood!! This is when things get harder. After that you and
your Elite allies go chase after the Heretic, cut the ropes holding up
the forerunner facility as it free alls to the ground you must go back
to that ship you saw and defeat the heretic but he has two holograms
of himself attack all of them and don't let up because it is possible
to vanish the holograms forever. After that you meet up with a little
blue thing bent on destroying all life....guilty spark!!! The key to
beating this level is activating you active camo, you can do this by
pressing the white button but this does not last forever the little
circle near your grenades is how much more time you have
Shoot into space - Shoot the machine gun turret on level one in a
phantom tube. Instead of ricocheting, they usually go into space.
Snipe from vehicle - Piggyback on a Banshee. Before one member of your
team gets into the Banshee, jump on top of the Banshee's pilot cover.
When you get in, you can just stand on top of it. Only make turns with
the Right Analog-stick. They are slower and do not tilt the Banshee.
More than one player can stay on top of the Banshee. This provides
extra fun if you want to do aerial tricks with friends by jumping from
Banshee to Banshee.
Stealing vehicles - When playing a multi-player map with vehicles, you
can steal vehicles such as the Wraith from your opponent. Approach the
vehicle while holding X. Note: This removes your opponent from the
vehicle only; you must press X a second time to board the vehicle. To
hijack a Wraith, you must get up close to it by first destroying the
side guns. You will get a message to press X. Do so, and you will be
hanging on the side of it. Then, tap B to punch the door in. Next,
press L and throw a grenade in. Jump off and go back in by pressing X,
and you will now be driving the Wraith. Use the
following trick to knock enemies out of vehicle safely. Note: This
only works with a fast moving, non-flying vehicle. First, stand by a
wall or something that they can crash into. Try to get the opponent to
run you over, then jump out of the way after about a second of
contact. He should then crash into the wall. When he does, go directly
next to it and hold X. You should now be in the vehicle.
Steal Manned Vehicles - To steal a vehicle from the enemy, approach
the vehicle and press X to throw the driver out, then press X to
board. NOTE: When stealing a Wraith, you must destroy the side guns
first. Then, press X to hang on the side and press B to punch in the
door. After that, throw a grenade inside, jump off, then press X to
board.
Switch grenade types - If you have picked up a frag grenade and a
plasma grenade, press Black to change from one to another.
Tactics - If you are in a closed area (small room, hall way, etc.)
then hold only 1 weapon, so you can throw grenades. If you are in a
open area (big room, outside, forest, etc.) than have 2 weapons in
hand because grenades will be useless.
If your units comes under heavy attack, retreat into a safe area and
regroup. Now you can attack again with all your units intact and a
better offence.
Draw a tough enemy out of a room into the open by standing in a
doorway and fire at it. Then retreat backwards and it will follow you.
You can now pick them off one by one. This is especially good against
charge enemy such as Brutes and Elites with Covenant Energy Sword.
Turn Him Into A Clown - When faced with the enemy tank, turn to the
left 4 times and then press A, X, Y, Black. Your player will now turn
into a 'Bo-Bo' type clown.
Using a destroyed machine gun - You can use a destroyed machine gun;
for example, in Zanzibar after you fire a rocket to one of the turrets
on the left and right on the main base. Just go back to them and the
screen will prompt you to hold X to operate. This can be useful during
heated sessions.
Unlimited ammunition or power - This trick requires levels that have
either Covenant or Marines following you. If you have a powerful
weapon that has very limited power (for example, the energy sword, or
Covenant sniper), or weapons that are very powerful (for example,
Human sniper or rocket launcher) give them to the A.I. following you.
As they use them, the weapons will never run out of power or
ammunition. Also, they can use them very well.

sp: Single player only
Weapons Tips:
All weapons without an actual zoom have some kind of zoom with no
targeting reticule. Shooting pulls you out of it.
The battle rifle shoots 3 rounds at a time
The shotgun splash is actually the multiple bullets it sends flying
The rocket launcher can lock on on vehicles (or subsystems like on the
cov transports) by holding the right trigger down.
The brute plasma rifle is a speeded up version of the conventional one
but also overheats faster and its red. (i prefer normal version.)
The carbine is the covenant equivalent of the battle rifle which
shoots one shot at a time.
The Brute shot fires grenades which can be compared with frags but
with less splash and damage and it has a wicked blade to dish out some
pain at a short distance.
The needler shoots needle that automatically homes in on target but
can be easily avoided at long range but mortal when dual wielding at
close to medium range. 7 or more needles in the body creates an
explosion that will kill most targets.
The covenant sniper rifle can overheat while his human counterpart
wont.
The fuel rod is a splash machine...better not be to trigger happy in
close range with that.
The sword is by far my favorite weapon because you can "lock on" in a
certain distance and leap for the kill.
Someone a high ledge given you
trouble? If you can lock onto him he's toast.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Blood Gulch:
Sniping location -
At the Red base, get a Banshee. Get on top and face toward the Blue
base. Turn right and go over. Follow the wall up and close to the top.
You can get out there and snipe from this location.
Blood Gulch reference - Go to multi-player mode and scroll to the
Coagulation map. Read the description. It will describe "a bloody
gulch".
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Outskirts:
Blind mode - When you begin the mission, your vision will get blurry.
When it returns to normal, you will see a blinking door. Enter it,
then stop. Look up to see a fluorescent light over the door you just
used, and another one on the opposite wall. Jump and duck at the same
time to get on one of thos lights. Do the same thing again to get onto
the ledge next to the lights. Look to the left on the ledge and you
should find a dark passage. Follow it to find some grenades, a skull,
and a camera at the end. Take the skull and your HUD will disappear
and the word "Blind" will be displayed. You will not be able to see
your weapon, body, shields, ammo, or HUD. You can use the skull as a
melee weapon, which does good damage to opponents. However, using a
grenade, firing a weapon, trying to drive, or using a turret will drop
the skull. However, you can be a passenger in a Warthog and still keep
it. To return to normal vision, save and quit the game, select the
Cairo Station mission in campaign mode, save and quit the game, then
return to the Outskirts level.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zanzibar:
Sword -
To get the sword in the middle (if it is on) go to the Ferris
wheel-type object in the middle. Line up with one of the blades. Let
it push you up the circle until it is parallel with the floor. Then,
run forward to the center of the circle. Jump down so that you can see
through the center of the "Ferris wheel". Wait until a gap appears in
the floor, then jump down and forward to the sword.

you will be transformed into a cortana looking HOTT Female, wearing
