Significantly improved graphics, enhance AI, an advanced real-time lighting engine and destructible interactive environments are just a small part of Halo 2's evolution of design and technology. Every improvement in Halo 2 is designed to take gameplay to a new level and in the end, to tell a better story.
Halo 2, a sci-fi action/first-person shooter game, is the sequel to the bestselling original, continuing the story of the Master Chief, a genetically enhanced super-soldier who is the only man that has successfully defied the Covenant, a coalition of alien races on a murderous march toward Earth.
With an expanded arsenal of lethal new weapons, the Master Chief and his marine allies return to battle the full array of Covenant forces, including new enemies which are yet to be discovered.
