Halo 2 Pre-Release Party

Today I went to a pre-release party for Halo 2. It was setup by the Washington Post, more specifically the Inside Source. I thought it was just going to be a few TV's and some copies of Halo 2. It was that and some other stuff too. They gave everyone in attendance a free headset for XBox Live. The best part though was that two guys from Bungie were there to chat with everyone. One of the guys is part of the two man team that did all the primary scripting and for the single player cinematics. The other was the lead tester for the Live multiplayer component. It was really cool to talk these guys and here some of their stories about the Halo 2 development. It was a fun day. I can't wait until Tuesday when I get my own copy.
