Before anyone freaks...
GhaleonEB pointed out an article in the New York Times (registration required - free) in which the Times suggested that there will be a $5.99 monthly fee to play in Halo 2 tournaments online. Before anyone grabs their pitchfork and heads for Redmond... there is no additional fee to play Halo online; what the NYT is most likely referring to is the Xbox Live service fee ($5.99/month or $49.99/year) - a service wholly separate from Halo 2 (and one that supports many, MANY games beyond just Halo 2). Beyond that one potential misconception, the NYT article is a good read, contrasting marketing of video games vs movies. (Louis Wu 00:10:28 UTC)
