Halo 2 Cheats for the Xbox

Make The Covenant Stronger

• The Covenant is a character in "Halo 2." You can make him stronger by using this cheat on the Cairo Station level. When you go past the armory station, followed by two loading docks, you will come to a large room. Look for the trash can. Hit the trash can out of the way, and you'll see a Thuderstorm skull. Pick it up, and Covenant turns silver and becomes much stronger.
  
  

Blind Mode

• The single-player cheat Blind Mode removes all traces of HUD. At the beginning of the chapter Outskirts, go to the first opening and jump on the florescent lamps over the doorway. Do not head down the ramp. From there, jump-crouch-jump to the left on the sloped roof. If you're having trouble getting on the ledge, jump and hold the "Crouch" button at the peak of the jump.
  
  Once you're on the rooftop, look to your left for a narrow alleyway. Walk toward the end of the alleyway. You will see a skull and a few grenades. Pick up the skull by holding the "X" button, which will unlock blind mode. In blind mode, your weapon, ammo, shield, body and radar cannot be seen. You're opponent cannot kill what he cannot see.
  
  

Easter Eggs

• A classic type of video game cheat is an Easter egg. Easter eggs are intentional hidden messages that programmers put into games. "Halo 2" has several Easter eggs throughout.
  
  Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Face:
  Destroy a Scorpion Tank on any level, then jump on top of the blown-off turret. Zoom in on the cogs, and you will see a jack-o-lantern pumpkin face drawn in blood.
  
  Midship Bunny:
  On level Midship, travel to the top where the sword spawns. Next, walk to the doorway that doesn't have a roof. Look up, you'll see the outline of a bunny.
  
  Find the Hippo:
  In the first "Halo," a hippo was hidden in shotgun shells. This time around, you can find the hippo on the Zanzibar level. Go to the top of the building from the inside. Find the ramp, it's where the walls look like yellow squares. One of the yellow squares is the hippo.
