Even if you've finished "Halo 2 in Legendary Mode", you're not done with this game. Not by a long shot. You know there's a lot more you can squeeze out of Halo 2, and with the clever hacks we have in store, you'll turn the game into a whole new experience. "Halo 2 Hacks" is the creation of consummate gamer and Microsoft insider Stephen Cawood, an original member of the Halo 2 beta test team. He's got it all, whether you're into single or multiplayer games, a level 12 or above, or even a complete n00b. If you are a beginner, you may not yet appreciate that Halo 2 for Xbox is the biggest game to hit the galaxy. Ten million copies have already sold, including 2.4 million on the first day it hit the shelf. So you're in good company, even if you've never played its predecessor, "Halo: Combat Evolved". Pick up this book and you'll be able to hold your own in any gaming crowd. "Halo 2 Hacks" is packed with a horde of great hacks for weapons, levels, vehicles, game play and mods. You'll learn how to open "Halo 2 Easter Eggs", including skulls, secret attacks (such as the sword lunge), and aerobatic tricks. And discover all the nooks and crannies you didn't even suspect were there.
Each hack has a thermometer icon to indicate its relative complexity, whether it's a beginner, moderate, or expert hack. Each one stands on its own, so you can either read the book from cover to cover, or jump around until you see a hack you want to try. For all the brave souls who want to learn how to trick Xbox into running the hacks and mods of their choice, without having to open up the Xbox or even think about using a soldering iron, "Halo 2 Hacks" is a must read, but only for gamers who think they're worthy of the distinction.

Stephen Cawood, a former program manager at Microsoft who worked for the Office Server Group, had the good fortune to participate as a member of the Halo 2 beta testing team. Since Stephen left Microsoft, he has been writing books about video games. He recently wrote The Unauthorized Halo 2 Battle Guide, and is currently finishing work on Halo 2 Hacks for O'Reilly.
