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.

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!

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.

It probably doesn't suck. -

Although I don't have the guide, I felt like I had to put something up to counter the other review, which set the average to 1 star despite only even naming one complaint. Even if it's true that the guide doesn't show where to find items on the multiplayer maps, that's hardly the sole purpose of it.

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.
