In a preview of sorts, Gamesradar has released a medium-sized article revealing some tantalizing Halo 2 facts, quotes, and screens. More is available if you grab a copy of Edge Magazine's latest issue (lots more), but this serves as a pleasant interlude if you don't bother hitting the news stands.

HBO supplied the link.

The gaming website Computer and Video Games has written up something vaguely resembling a Halo 2 preview. Nobody's quite sure where they got their information, or how valid it is, but it's worth reading.

Hat tip to The Junkyard.

Matt Soell at Bungie.net has posted the second part of their article about the making of the Halo 2 Trailer. In this installment features Marty O'Donnell and Jay Weinland talking about the audio aspects of the trailer.

Louis Wu over at HBO snagged this one: Not only is the Halo 2 Trailer the first game trailer we've heard of to get previews, but now it's even getting reviews, this one from Monsters At Play:

Ferrex, Jay Weinland, shibby, Kyle Burke, Louis Wu and others in the HBO forum all posted or submitted suggested changes to the Halo 2 Trailer script. The result looks a lot like the one Louis already posted at HBO. We're updating ours in the interest of accuracy. Changes are in italics.

Deimos 3of9 Fawkes over at Subnova put up their Halo 2 trailer stats so far:

http://mirror.subnova.com/hbo/halo2_announce_qt6_large.mov with 1,650 hits
http://mirror.subnova.com/hbo/halo2.wmv with 1,417 hits
Which adds up to over 10GB of Halo 2 goodness served up in less than 24 hours.

With the help of Ferrex, we've put together a rough script of the dialogue in the Halo 2 trailer. There are some missing bits, but it still makes food for thought.

BlackStar Productions has mirrored the large QuickTime version of the Halo 2 Trailer.
