A quick viewing of the Bungie-related clip from Inside the Xbox by Film Oasis, as shown on the Discovery Channel and now available for download, reveals a few points about Halo 2, the sequel:
- Everything in Halo 2 will be bump mapped, not just some things.
- Part of Halo 2 will take place during an attempt to repel Covenant invaders from a space station they are attempting to take over.
- Part of Halo 2 will take place in the "wreckage of the previous Halos". (Jaime "Case" Griesemer definitely says "Halos" in this case, intended or not.)
- Halo 2 will feature a space station that functions as a giant weapon, which can be controlled and fired by the player. (This one again comes from Lead Designer Griesemer, and there's nobody around to kick him under the table.)
The documentary has been out a while, so this information isn't new, but these are the solid bits about Halo 2 that occur in the film if you haven't seen it so far and can't manage the large download.
