Halo 2: Anniversary
Overview
Experience the impeccably remastered edition of the original Halo 2 game. Following the destruction of Halo, humankind experiences a short-lived victory. Eager for revenge, the Covenant launches a surprise attack on Earth, but they find themselves ill-prepared to defeat the UNSC’s home fleet and are forced to flee into slipspace. When the Master Chief pursues his overzealous enemies, they discover yet another Halo ring, uncovering long-buried secrets, including an unlikely ally, that will dramatically alter the course of the Human-Covenant Conflict forever.

Halo 2: Anniversary - Tips, Skulls and Secrets
• Iron Skull: unlocked via a terminal; when active in co-op, any player death restarts the team at the last checkpoint.
• Grunt Birthday Party Skull: causes Grunts to explode into confetti (and in MCC drop a swarm of Confetti Cones) when headshot.
• Scarab Gun trick: in the Metropolis level you can obtain the Scarab plasma rifle by flying a Ghost up to the upper area — use sword-lunge jumps with the Sputnik skull active, or grenade-jump boosts, to reach the elevated rail.
• Optional Skulls menu: in MCC you can toggle skulls from the campaign menu before starting a mission, letting you tailor difficulty to your liking.
• Tip: on Heroic and Legendary, use plasma grenades and weapon pickups to stun Brutes and strip their energy shields.
• Tip: keep moving against Hunters and use charged plasma pistol shots — the fastest way to break their armor.
• Unlockable: completing the campaign on Legendary unlocks achievements and gallery content in Halo 2: Anniversary, including the remastered cinematics.
