Anyone who has played Halo 2 online knows how awesome the experience is and how innovative the party system is. The guys at Bungie really knew what was important when it came to the multiplayer experience.

The most impressive part of the entire thing, however, is the online integration on bungie.net. Not only does Bungie track the stats of every player online, but they also track the stats of every game. From kills to plaver vs. player to medals, everything you would want to know is on there. What is even more impressive is that with a Microsoft “.net passport” a player can even look at a map of the game and see every kill that any player made, who they killed, with what weapon, and where on the map. It is hard to imagine the complete scale of the integration until you actually see it for yourself.

If you have XBOX Live and are a fan of Halo 2, you have to get a “.net passport” and get going with this. It is amazing!

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) – With shouts of “Syria out!,” more than 25,000 flag-waving protesters massed outside Parliament on Monday in a dramatic display of defiance that swept out Lebanon’s pro-Syrian government two weeks after the assassination of a former prime minister.

Cheering broke out among the demonstrators in Martyrs’ Square when they heard Prime Minister Omar Karami’s announcement on loudspeakers that the government was stepping down. Throughout the day, protesters handed out red roses to soldiers and police.
