    There's something oddly magical about these older builds. Like even from the start, it looked like Bungie was cooking up something special.

    That quote from Jason really resonates. It perfectly describes old Bungie.

    2:07 holy shit in the developer commentary for halo 2 they mentioned that the seraph was based on the original covenant tank design for halo ce. really cool to see that here

    I like the initial Forerunner design. I like to think there’s an alternate universe where this is the aesthetic design for the game.

    That early control room reminds me of the Ark's control room in Halo 3 with the long bridge and all the Halo Ring holograms.

      True. It's like a shorter version of that.

    I really want to meet the man who designed halo's artstyle. It's really beautiful especially in the pre release builds of 1999. How the warthog went from being a military jeep to what it is now is simply genius

    Nice ‘why’ intro animation, when it disappears, it should transition right instead of left, very cool video anyways

    Seems like Halo Infinite and Halo Wars 2 are the fully realized versions of what Halo was originally supposed to be at various stages.

    That early version of the control room is really cool, I kinda wish they'd incorporated it elsewhere. Although I can definitely see some of its influence on the Ark's control room in Halo 3.

      Sucks that Halo’s development doesn’t have the following that the Half Life games do. An awe inspiring amount of content is made to honor the original versions of HL2. Nevertheless Halo is lucky as there’s countless games with fascinating prototypes that get ignored.

      @@ichoffski4707 Valve never released the source code for GoldSrc, Xash3D was made from scratch and only mimics it. Halo 1 has enough tools to do some proto recreations, the issue is that nobody’s interested enough.
      edit: I misunderstood your comment cus I did not reread my original one ha. Rewrote my reply to make sense.

      I don’t think there was open world concepts until around halo 3’s development when they were planning spin offs

      Cinnamon-Skateboarding I’m pretty sure that’s just when they were making a game like tribes, where you’d have 2 factions duking it out on one map.
