This is an improved and expanded re-upload. The footage covers game performance in multiple scenarios on this high-end mid-1998 computer. The Pentium II 400 and Voodoo 2 PC is still able to handle this work-in-progress build of Halo, with some rough spots! There are sections of the map where culling isn’t performed properly, resulting in more scenery being computed than what is necessary. The Warthog tires kick up a lot of alpha textured rocks and dust that also slows down the game quite severely!
These hologram panels are so mesmerizing! That first one has a voxel-like look to it that reminds me of Outcast’s landscapes. Upon closer inspection they look to be made from stacks of horizontal polygonal slices, a bit like how fur rendering was done in the early 2000s but not really (fur typically relied on stacking texels along a vertex normal instead of polygonal slices).
Looks impressive for 1998 hardware. I'm commenting before the video viralizes.

these are the most hard gun sounds I've ever heard in a game holy shit
9:28 Damn they were really striking for the best rendering techniques even before reaching the 2000s

LMAO that ending
Making extensive games work on old hardware always piques my interest
Thank you for the link, I downloaded it today and it works with the Voodoo 3. In 640x480 high details it works with high fps.
Wonderful!
Very interesting
I tried to find this version, but it’s nowhere to be found. Can you please tell me where I can download it ? Thank you!

So you could drive a Ghost and play as an Elite way back when 🤔🤔 The PC gaming super nerds were the only ones who knew when H2 hit the shelves!
