Acknowledgments
| I would like to thank Brian Jepson the editor for Halo 2 Hacks. It has been a pleasure working with you and the rest of the O'Reilly staff. Thanks to my agent Neil Salkind from www.studiob.com. I have Neil to thank for all of the Halo projects that have come my way. To Microsoft and Bungie, I have to say that you're responsible for reviving my love of gaming. Thanks for creating the most impressive and enjoyable games available today. I want it to be perfectly clear that Halo 2 Hacks has been a community effort. With that in mind, here is a brief thank you message to everyone who was involved. The book was made possible through the generous help of all of these people. I am greatly thankful for all of your hard work! I have made every effort to give credit where it is due. If anyone feels that I am guilty of an error or omission, please contact me so that I can correct the mistake. I'll start the community thanks with Alex Schwartz (GTJuggler). Thanks for not only contributing content, but also for helping to shape the concept of the book. Ken Masters (MrMurder) provided a great deal of information about modding and has been a tremendous resource. I want to thank Jim Cleary (Grenadiac) for putting me in touch with so many expert modders in a short period of time. To Iron_Forge and The Swamp Fox, thanks for helping this n00b get through the basics. Special thanks go to Iron_Forge. He has been a prominent and important member of the Halo community since the early days of Halo 1 modding. For most of that time, he remained out of the public limelight, working diligently with other important members in the community. He is currently working with Halo 2, and looks forward to what the future of Halo brings to the community. I want to thank Jeff Chavez (Kahai Maluu) for providing so much content that I couldn't use it all and thanks for meeting me on Xbox Live to show me a proper slide jump. Patrick "PC" Chin was, once again, responsible for a great number of the screenshots in the book thanks man. Thanks to the modders although, a number of other modders helped out (see below), I want to say a special thanks to Aztec, Chris Morgan (c2morg), Northy, Gabriel da Cruz (Gabs), Steve Hansen (XIU), and pokecancer.
