18:48 Having Chief escape in a lifepod would add a circular rhetoric to the plot that would match the literal looping shape of Halo. It would reinforce Chief going back to sleep at the end of H3. The demise of the Pillar would mirror a pillar, something that starts and ends, and is vaguely shaped like the ship. It would be first seen in flight and last seen laying/rotting

Tbf you can only beat the same old dead horse so many times. After a massive 5 hour vid like this, what content is there left to make? 343 is an objectively terrible development company who have created an objectively terrible game with Infinite. What type of "positive" content do you expect people to make? "Wow, 343's latest update is... decent!" doesn't draw views so those videos are literally a waste of time to make. Don't blame the community for reacting to what's in front of them. If you're sitting at a table and the waiter serves you a steaming terd on a platter, are you going to eat it and smile just for the sake of not being "doom and gloom"? That would be absurd. Of course you're going to tell the waiter and other people who might visit the restaurant that you are unhappy with the terd you were served.

59:30 Paul Russel actually confirmed that in Halo 3 lore, Forerunners were ALWAYS humans. Non-human forerunners are a 343 invention. The terminals and the ARG show us ancient primitive humans on Earth. Paul Russel confirmed Forerunners (i.e. The Librarian in the terminals) were interested in this because of course they too are humans. So it's like they found their ancestors, before they were uplifted by the precursors.

Watching this, you realise how rich Halo could have been with more time and budget. But also how amazing and passionate the Bungie developers were. 343 have become that soulless corporation that just doesn't seem to have the care or passion of the original team. So sad and such a waste of a brilliant franchise. But at least we have all the brilliant pre-release work they did and the teams restoring them.

[@llamajuice]

Was really hoping that the misinformation about the Halo 2 Vista test maps would have been resolved in this compilation. Earth City and Beach Day were both test maps that Hired Gun released back in the day as part of the documentation on how to build these maps, and how to use the different tilesets effectively. They were built to test the documentation and help show players how to build maps with things like water in them. The HiredGun Dev that made those maps went by the handle "NitrousOxide" back in the day (Dunno if he still does.) He had this to say about releasing the maps on the H2Vista forums, (eventually rebranded to Modacity) In a thread titled "Look who is releasing custom maps already" "NitrousOxide May 25th, 2007, 10:58 AM Thank you guys so much for the kind thoughts. These are only two of a bajillion maps I've made over here at Hired Gun. Some of those maps I'll probably get clearance to release, some of which will never leave these card-key-protected doors. These two are just simple example maps I've made to basically demostrate the ease of the editting kit. Both of these maps were developed in almost no time at all. It took me about a day (9-5 work day) to get each map to a playable, testable, decently polished state. Then, I took about the rest of the week to fine tune, adjust based on feedback and test, test, test. All in all, point is that these maps took very little time to develop, using basic knowledge from the Halo CE HEK and a firm passion for map making. Believe me when I tell you, ANYONE can do this. It's by far the easiest custom map pipeline I've ever dealt with for any game, including Half-Life and UT. I'm glad you guys like what you see. I apologize if the layouts aren't perfect and weapons might be unbalanced, and yes I know, the maps are relatively simple, but the point of them was to simply show off how rediculously easy this stuff is to do. Like I said, both maps took me less than a few days a piece to complete polish off."
