Halo 2
Maverick:
Ok, yes, Half-life 2 and indeed the entire half-life series (perhaps excluding Blue Shift) is amazing...but i agree that it cannot be compared to halo 2 (apples and oranges?). The AI and indeed the entired design of each game has advantages and pitfalls as compared to the other and the fact that they are two different types of FPS's makes them a bit too different for me to warrant a comparison. The AI on the legendary difficulty of Halo2 continues to impress me, untill you reach a courtyard/valley full of jackles who auto head shot with sniper rifles --that really sucks the big one. Everyone seems to be complaining about level design, is this the multiplayer maps or the single player campaign? Xbox live is an awesome experience and has been known to sway even the most adamant halo2 hater. However, if you live in australia like myself and are unlucky enough to have an American host, the lag is terrible. That is my only complaint. The variety of duals that can arise in Multiplayer is not only extensive, but intense and highly satisfying if you find some equally skilled gamers or even better players to play against. Granted though, the hype surrounding teh halo series is a little too much, and to think that other awesome games are left unnoticed is a travesty.

Alright: to get the Scarab Gun
This is easiest done with two players in co-op, but can be done alone.
Start on the level Metropolis, When you start out, cross the bridge. Take out every enemy and even your marines. When you're near the end, Cortana will say something about a "Welcome Party". Three Banshees and a few ghosts will appear. Take them all out. Then 2 Wraiths and 2 Banshees will appear. Take out both Wraiths, and only one Banshee. Have Player 1 continue through the tunnel, but have Player 2 stay outside and distract the Banshee. Once Player 1 reaches the area with the circular opening (a Jackal with a Beam rifle is present), take out the Jackal and head back to where Player 2 is.
Here is the hard part. Get the Banshee to follow both players into the tunnel. Do not board it yet! The first few times it will come at you and fly back out, but stay where you are. It should come back after you. (If it doesn't, go back outside and try again). Eventually, you'll have to get it over two road blocks. Once it is past the second one, have both players stand near the entrance of the room where Player 1 took out the Jackal. It should fly at you and get stuck. Shoot off both of its wings so it can fit thru. Have Player 1 walk slowly in front of the Banshee, making it follow him. Player 2 should be behind it, gently pushing it. Take it to the left and get ready to board it. As soon as you hit the checkpoint, the Elite in the Banshee will disappear. You only have about a second to get in before the Banshee also disappears. Both players should press X quickly. If done right, one of the players will be driving the Banshee!
Take it outside and directly up. Very high in the sky are two skyscrapers with two bridges connecting them. In the middle of the bridge closest to you, there is something that looks like a plasma rifle. It's actually a Scarab gun! It has infinite ammo, so have fun. Just don't aim too close to yourself, and it will dissapear upon save & exit.
Have Fun!

I beat halo2 a week ago and it was by far the most disapointing thing to happen to me in a video game this year. The first halo had a great ending, what with the driving and the shooting and time limit to end it . But this one finished off with a mediocre battle and too much confusion over what the efff just happend. Leave it to me to find he bright side though- multi-player will beat that of any game on the market. i'd buy #3 just for that.
