5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave cryo without it!

I admit I'm not a very good gamer. You see, I didn't start playing video games until I was well into my 40's so I don't have the fine tuned hand eye co-oridination of folks who have been playing since they were kids. Nonetheless, I don't see why that should stop me from enjoying FPS games like everybody else! That's why I love this book. It literally saved my virtual life!

Before I read this book, my basic strategy for Halo was "spray and pray" which unfortunately isn't always very effective. After spending days trying to get out of the "Library", I ordered this book. Wow, I never realized the amount of tatics involved in shooter games!

This book provides indepth info on all the weapons and vehicles and which ones are the most effective against which enemies. There is also lots of cool background info on Halo, helpful hints and tips from expert Halo gamers, recommended weapon combs for certain scenarios and the location of power ups and shields. The only thing missing is maps for the solo campaign because I'm still lost in the Library! Oh well, at least my kill ratio is improving!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's ok, I guess.
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2005
Ok, I'm not going to lie. This guide is pretty much for Halo fans. This is only one of two Halo: CE strategy guides out there, and the other guide is in color and is more interesting overall. I already had the other guide, but I bought this one just so that I could have it.

Eh... I'm used to the big glossy books now. I'm sure this was great in it's time. But of course the new colorful larger stuff for today's games blows it away.

1.0 out of 5 stars defective guide
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2004
I noticed in both the first and second printing that all of the multiplayer maps are missing important info. There are letters on the map showing connections, but no number callouts which are used in the descreiptions to tell where important power-ups, supplies, etc are supposed to be located. Really reduces the value of the maps!
The proofreader must have been asleep on this one.

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2008
good guide for itself, but it has no, or has poorly drawn, level maps and multi-player maps for PC release of Halo. my only advice, if you just want level maps, don't bother.

Per me che colleziono HALO era un pezzo da avere assolutamente.. non esiste infatti una guida in italiano per il capolavoro di Bungie.... la guida in inglese si rifersce alla versione PC quindi online di Combat Evolved.
Non facile da trovare nuovo a un buon prezzo
Solito servizio perfetto di Amazon

This is a good guide for halo, however, one thing to be aware of is most new guides are colourful and interesting whilst this one is quite dull. The content itself is good. I was a bit disappointed when I received the guide, as it was not in pristine condition, as it had marks on the cover, which I removed easily, but still it is listed as brand new. The best thing about this is it has super saver delivery, and therefore arrived within 4 days. Great service once again from Amazon, although I am a little disappointed with the product.
