About Halo 2
Halo 2 is a first-person shooter developed by Bungie and the sequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. The campaign alternates between two playable characters: the human supersoldier Master Chief and the Covenant warrior known as the Arbiter. The game introduced online multiplayer via Xbox Live with an automated matchmaking system, dual-wielding of certain weapons, and vehicle hijacking. It supports both cooperative campaign and competitive multiplayer modes, and was the best-selling game on the original Xbox.

- Not yet. It is still in progress. Its last update was Oct 2026.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Not confirmed yet. Check the project page for the systems it supports.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. halo2-decompiled rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
