I loved when I first saw this, just how much of a prototype it was. Even down to the "A phantom!" And "Brutes!" lines from Cortana. I'm glad that, even though they didn't use this, we still get to see it. Would be cool in future games to have it as a bonus map/mission, or some type of unlockable after playing heroic or legendary.
When I was about 8 or 9 I remember watching this in Halo 1's Extra Content and I always (Not understanding what this gameplay was) wondered what level it was in the campaign but I could never "find" the mission. Then later on I found out the truth, I was sad.
Watching this again after... what six, seven years? ...makes me wish they had kept the BR semi-auto. It was always the best gun overall in H2 and H3, but if it had been semi-auto it would have actually been FUN to use, not just good to use.
I remember seeing this 4 years ago, and i've been looking for it ever since, but today i have found it again! It looks just as epic as it did 4 years ago too..wish bungie woulda kept it like this!
i remember first seeing this when it came out in utter awe. couldn't believe the visuals and details especially in the explosions. Now I've just seen the first battlefield 3 footage. boy times have changed. I can only laugh at halo 2 graphics now. I can only imagine what us gamer's will see 5 years from now.
I would love to see Halo 1 and 2 remade with Reach graphics. I would also like it if Bungie remake Halo 2 the way it was originally intended, as an epic battle for Earth.
This trailer looked so cool on those days...... :)
I though they will include the triple punch and the battle rifle taht shots only one bullet:( they dissapointed me T.T now we have that weapon and the special kill in Halo Reach xD cool!
@Leozodiac lol, i bet your right dude, Halo 1 was badass and still is but Halo 2 was such a letdown! You can tell they let it slip and its never been the same. they fucked up up a good thing.
You can tell it's a old trailer in developmental stages ... They used old blood animation for both humans and grunts in this trailer. Explosion sounded similar too.
Notice of the use of brutes rather than elites if they had done this odst would have made more sense cannon wise instead they opted with elites. although i must say elites are funner to fight
I wish Microsoft never rushed Bungie, or this game would've been so much better.
I also wish that Bungie would make a copy of this "Second Halo 2" and sell it, or if they haven't, they should finish it up. I would also wish that Bungie could make the Halo DS, which had so damn good graphics. If Bungie were to go through with all of their projects, and/or just make the unfinished ones and add new things to the games, the would be RICH. I wish this level was longer. :(
if you listen to the BR it only sounds like its firing 1 shot. now look at some of the vids about the weapons in halo reach... it looks like they might be bringing a gun like that back. maybe it was originally intended to be like a hunting rifle but then they turned it into a burst fire gun. for whatever the reason, i just hope that they dont ruin halo. the BR is just to much of the main stream gun. in my opinion
I remember looking at this trailer and thinking "holy shit this looks incredible".
Then the game came out. "lol". They slaughtered the campaign in order to create the multiplayer, something that was only restored in halo 3. I will let them off, H3 was a perfect blend of the first 2.
@Matto146 I almost feel as if the first game had better graphics. Not totally better but they were close to equal. Like you said if they spent more time making it it would of looked amazing!
hey i baught halo 2 couple days ago and i have afew questions seeing as uve played it..how come the picture is very jumpy when i have my resoultion set at 1280 by 1024? i have to set it at 800 by 600 so that it doesnt get jumpy? my graphics card is a nvidia 9500gs should be gd enuff right? also how do i play online? evrytime i clic on network then on a server it ses "sry cant join cos other ppl are using a different halo 2 " i thought theres only 1 vers of halo 2? thanks if u reply =)
yea i think was incorporated for odst...makes alot of sense...bungie said they had to start from scratch at some point in the middle of production so that prob y this was scrapped
can any1 tell me if you can download this game of internet and where? and im not asking how to get it for free coz ure never realy sure so ide rather pay for it
Hmm cool, the audio and main concept is still intact but... there is no elevator that leads to space in the center. Also ,the city looks different than the final product (the structure in the video is all metalic and silver as the final look was more tan and concrete). Its neat to see what games look like before the final product is made. It makes you say "Oh wow that looks different than the original" or "Hmm, I wonder what that level would have looked like if they didn't scrap it".
the reason for this leavel not in the game is becuase after reach blew up newmombasa was then on earth and the spartan outfit ways about 2 tons so no more spartansin halo if this was a leval
dude what you´re telling has no sense on why this level is not on the game, and spartans disapeared before halo 1 dude, chief´s the las one, reach is years before this
reach blew up b4 halo 1 and well newmabosa is on earth or soit says in halo 3:odst well i might be wrong but im not about reach reach did blow up b4 halo
the fall of reach is a few weeks before this at best halo 1 hapens RIGHT after the covenant glass reach and halo2 hapens right after first strike wich hapens right after halo1.....ya
when does it come out?
