Everyone of them, TM issues, reg fee...

Just because there are plenty of "halosomethings" doesn't mean it's ok to reg a trademarked name You might be ok using these for awhile, then again, you might not.

HALO is Microsoft, and they will protect their TM if they feel like they need to. The funny thing is, your just registering the domains in probably enough to let them "win" should they try to protect their TM, but it helps their case the moment you and or anyone else start to develop the site in a way that makes it clear you intend to profit from their TM.

Gonna go with very little to nothing, unless someone buys it not knowing any better.

I certainally understand your concerns, however, I do not believe there is a worry here. These domain names would promote the purchase of Halo2, not impede it.
Also, I see http://www.xbox-scene.com/ in 3rd position on google with a pagerank of 6, teamxbox.com with a pagerank of 7, and many more. MS would certainally protect the Xbox name as much as Halo2. (there is also haloplanet.com, etc) There is also windowsITpro.com, and tweakxp.com, etc. Lastly, while I know it's no "legal" excuse, all the king's men had years to reg. these if they were affraid of later misuse.

Start a halo 2 forum and point all those domains there and have a category for all of those domains. Make sure to state that you are not affiliated with microsoft.

Thanks, Mike: That's a really good suggestion.

If Microsoft are so evil then why has xbox.net survived?
