The Halo 2 campaign mode is simple enough that most players won't need a guide to negotiate it. The campaign is pretty straightforward in design; unlike some games (such as GTA), detailed level maps aren't really needed. However, the guide offers many extras that make it a worthwhile purchase.
For one, the detailed maps of the campaign mode offer weapon and vehicle locations and enemy weaknesses, useful when one's plasma rifle or SMG is running low on ammo and a pair of Hunters are closing fast. The detailed information on weapons allows newbies to acquaint themselves with Halo 2's large array of available armament and vehicles. Veterans of the original game will quickly become familiar with the new weapons of Halo 2. (Of course, there's something to be said for learning as you go). The guide also offers detailed information on the various creatures of the Covenant, adding to the ongoing story of Halo. A note of caution, however: If you don't want to spoil the ending, don't read the last chapter of the campaign mode. (I made that mistake...it was still cool, though).
The best reason to get the guide, however, is for the multiplayer maps, which include weapon and vehicle locations, strategic points for ambushes and sniping, detailed maps, and tips on setting up games and clans. Charging blindly into Halo 2's XBox Live levels can be suicidal; most of my friends who play on Live credit the strategy guide for giving them a heads-up on where to find what they need. So the guide does have its uses beyond the usual campaign walkthrough. Especially recommended to those who are new to the Halo universe.

This guide was okay. Plain and simple. If you are stuck and don't know where to go don't use this book. One of the levels of Halo 2 the directions were so confusing I got lost for three hours, not knowing where to go (I know that your thinking "How can you get lost in a video game?"). However I would recommand this to you if you are one of those gamers with a good sense of direction. This would serve to you as a constant reminder of what you are going to do, not where. The multiplayer section is pretty cool but I don't really like the maps at the beginning of the level. They are incredibly confusing. My advice: Pick the guide up if you can't find a guide online. This guide although confusing has some helpful tips.

While I rarely condone the use of strategy guides or walkthroughs for a game simply on the basis of the plot being ruined, this guide however differentiates itself from the masses of other guides out there. It does not give away the plot of the game, and simply leads you along through it while not giving away the story line. However this guide is simply nothing more then a walkthrough it offers great tactical data about ur enemies, weapons, and vehicles during the first few pages but nothing strategical during the actual walkthrough just a simply go here, there are gonna be enemies here kill them, and then do this, not a very strategical approach about how to take them out more easily or where the best vantage point to lay fire down at if you ask me. This guide does offer great maps and overviews of the single player levels as well as the multiplayer levels. Simply enough only buy this book if u are having a tough time figuring out where to go throughout the maps, or want some different routes that go through levels that you couldn't figure out on your own (which is easy by the way) all and all just buy it for multiplayer map overview if you must. In conclusion this is just a guide with no strategy or tactics offered hardly at all, so only buy it if you must.
