  Book Information

Even if you've finished Halo 2 in Legendary Mode, you're not
done with this game. Not by a long shot. You know there's a
lot more you can squeeze out of Halo 2, and with the clever
hacks we have in store, you'll turn the game into a whole
new experience. Halo 2 Hacks is the creation of consummate
gamer and Microsoft insider Stephen Cawood, an original
member of the Halo 2 beta test team. He's got it all,
whether you're into single or multiplayer games, a level 25
or above, or even a complete n00b.

If you are a beginner, you may not yet appreciate that Halo
2 for Xbox is the biggest game to hit the galaxy. Ten
million copies have already sold, including 2.4 million on
the first day it hit the shelf. So you're in good company,
even if you've never played its predecessor, Halo: Combat
Evolved. Pick up this book and you'll be able to fully
appreciate the Halo 2 universe.

Halo 2 Hacks is packed with a horde of great hacks for
weapons, levels, vehicles, game play and mods. You'll learn
how to perform expert tricks, exploit glitches and find Halo
2 Easter Eggs - including the famous skulls. And discover
all the nooks and crannies you didn't even suspect were
there. Each hack has a thermometer icon to indicate its
relative complexity, whether it's a beginner, moderate, or
expert hack. Each one stands on its own, so you can either
read the book from cover to cover, or jump around until you
see a hack you want to try.

This title was created with the help of numerous gamers from
the Halo community. Whether it was a trick, a glitch or a
mod, Cawood went straight to the source and gathered all of
the necessary information to help you complete the hack.
The mod section of the book features contributions from
Grenadiac, MrMurder, Iron_Forge, GTJuggler, The Swamp Fox,
and many more. Halo 2 Hacks also features a foreword by
Ducain (the admin for HighImpactHalo.org), Louis Wu (the
admin for Halo.Bungie.org) and Grenadiac (the admin for
HaloMods.com).


For all the brave souls who want to learn how to trick Halo
2 into running the hacks and mods of their choice, Halo 2
Hacks is a must read. Roughly half of this title is
dedicated to creating your own Halo 2 mods. If you're a fan
of tricking, glitching or modding, then this is the book for
you. But only for gamers who think they're worthy of the
distinction.
