    Homie I've been watching for years and my biggest gripe was the fact that you stumbled around a lot with your words. Older video felt like they lacked clear direction. This is the first video of yours I've watched in a while, and it actually feels like you have a script and you know exactly what you want to say. Keep up the good work, it's clear, concise, and to the point. Huge improvement in presentation

      @@texel76 I don't think you're getting what I am saying, or you're just ignoring what I am saying. Earth City from the September 2003 Dev Build is in this Digtacular Map Pack and that also looks a lot like the E3 Demo level, Earth City (Called Arcology in the "Map Pack" as seen at the start of the video) is CLEARLY closer to the E3 Demo than Release New Mombasa and the version of Headlong showcased in this video clearly comes from a time close to the E3 Demo and the September 2003 Dev Build showcased in the 343 Halo 2 Dev Kit stream. Arcology itself is FROM that Dev Build, it's at one hour, six minutes, twenty-eight seconds in. The Demo itself may or may not have been meant to be played but the ideas of New Mombasa being an Arcology IS something that has clearly influenced this version of Headlong.

    It's really interesting to see how Bungie's design philosophy was being developed and shifting, even as far back as Halo 2. With maps like Grotto, the idea of re-using Campaign geometry for Multiplayer maps, which eventually became common in both 3, and especially Reach is pretty cool - not to mention how there are definitely some vestiges of the earlier Halo 2 we never got see, especially that first map which bears a great resemblance to the E3 demo map.

    Its really sad to see how 343 not understanding what gamers want while accepting miscommunication as fact has resulted in them doubling down on their lack of creativity so they can literally do the easiest thing possible - whatever takes the least amount of effort...
    It's like they thought "thingamabob" meant "think about mods on Xbox." I couldn't facepalm harder at 343's autistic reaction to suggestions...
