The Earth City E3 demo proved you can't get tired of bump-mapping and per pixel lighting but it's the story that push this sequel to the next level. Halo 2 continues the saga as Master Chief, a genetically enhanced supersoldier, is the only thing standing between the relentless Covenant and the destruction of all humankind.

The game’s opening levels focus on repelling a Covenant invasion on Earth with the later levels of the game focusing on the Covenant homeworld, where the Prophets (check out screens) will come in. Bungie has even talked about levels on the Moon and other planets where gravity will make a huge impact on the gameplay. For instance, on the Moon, gravity will be significantly lower, with Master Chief being able to jump more than three times his height and firing downward while airborne will actually slow your decent.
