==Trivia==
*Before the release of Halo 2, the page for it at Xbox.com was made to look as though it were a series of screens at the helm of a Covenant ship, complete with a Covenant language made of triangular shapes. The Game Guide uses a few of these characters to denote the placement of Covenant vehicles on their maps.
*Instead of showing it as a circular arrow, the reloading signal on page 13 depicts it as three bullets.
*A misprint in the strategy guide mistakenly called the Enforcer a "Sentinel Major" on page 119. However, it stated that the Covenant called it "Enforcer" on page 118.
*Another misprint in the strategy guide calls a Brute Plasma Rifle a Brute Plasma Pistol on page 46. A third misprint is on page 30, in which the Fuel Rod Gun is incorrectly labeled as the Fuel Rod Cannon.
*The book wrongly prints that there are achievements in Halo 2, while they are only in Halo 2 Vista.
*On the Contents page, it shows that John-117 is about to kill a Jiralhanae on Earth, which comes from the Halo 2 E3 Demo.
*On page 110, there is a Sangheili Honor Guard with Sangheili Minor armor.
*On page 7, there is a misprint that say the MJOLNIR Mk VI was upgraded, instead of John-117's armor being upgraded to Mk VI.
*On page 41, it says that a Unggoy Minor's armor is yellow, when in fact it is orange.
