This is a great recreation. I’ll never forget waiting about 1 hour and a half to see this in person at E3.

it is not a recreation it is the actual level but restored

[@chipsdubbo5.56]

Just got done playing it and wow, breath taking is the only word to describe it. I'm so happy to be a halo fan on PC because we have the 1999 Mac World demo not long ago in MCC, and Halo 2 uncut (which restores lots of cut content in the game files), and now the E3 demo. Its a crime that the console players cant experience all this legendary Halo media!!!

[@sean8102]

As a PC play I agree (that it's crappy 343 doesn't give xbox users access to mods, at the very least they could give them the ones from digsite). But yeah being able to run around the 1999 Macworld map (or play it since they also turned it into a full blown level with objectives etc) is awesome. Same with this E3 demo of course. I read the next thing they are working on is a cut level from Halo 2 called Alpha Moon. Would love to see the E3 2000 map get released. That was right before MS bought bungie and when Halo was going to be PC (and Mac) exclusive.

Yup, just after making this demo they came to the realization that the launch spec Xbox could not handle the graphics they were pulling here and had to nearly recreate the entire graphical engine hence why its launch was pushed back.

Man, I remember being so wowed by the original demo when I first saw it. So much so, I watched the gameplay video so many times. I haven't felt that way in a long time. Sadly, Halo 2 didn't deliver on all of its promises, such as the ability to sprint or shoot down enemy dropships, and I was a bit disappointed that the battle rifle didn't fire in semi-auto mode as shown here (the burst fire mode in the final game always felt like it ran out of ammo way too quickly for me), but it was still my favorite game at the time and still makes my list of favorites to this day. Things like dual-wielding and hijacking Ghosts were an incredible new experience, and I was completely surprised to discover playing as an Elite during the campaign. God, I wish I could go back and see it all for the first time again.

This made me wonders if Bungie weren't limited by original Xbox hardware, they could have delivered Doom 3 inspired stencil shadow game engine. It checks the cinematic feels when it has proper stencil shadow function.

[@killzone64]

They definitely could have if they waited for 360. The stencil shadows were cut sometime between e3 2002 and e3 2003. For the 03 demo they had already shifted to shadow volumes instead of stencils, hence why the original demo has softer shadows than 2002.

[@sean8102]

If development had moved to the 360 I'm sure. Doom 3 did release on the OG Xbox. But obviously doom 3 environments are a bit smaller than the average halo map lol. Plus all the scripting, AI, physics etc of "the sandbox" going on at the same time. I'm surprised they ever thought the OG xbox would be able to handle it. There is a interesting mod for Halo 2 MCC on the steam workshop (and the nexus) called "halo 2 lighting restored". It dose not re enable stencil shadows (haven't seen any mod that dose, I think it was cut to early), but it dose make WAY more of the lights in the game dynamic lights giving the whole game a look closer to this E3 demo.

9:37 what is the song's name?

[@killzone64]

@EDW4RD249 it says at the very end of the video. The song isn't released yet. It's part of another project we are working on and the rest of the soundtrack isnt finished.

@@killzone64 Does it have a name?

[@killzone64]

@EDW4RD249 the project or the song? The song is called Sunset for Closure. The next project is alphamoon, and we (vkmt not digsite, there are a couple members of vkmt in digsite.) have a halo ce custom campaign mission in progress called closure.

unique Halo-istic atmosphere that 343 studio couldn't achieve 😢

I remember this being the most cinematic thing I'd ever seen in a game besides Half-Life 2 at the time. I was so disappointed when I finished Halo 2 and this stuff wasn't even in the game. Now I'm old.

As a kid, I had no idea what was going on but it was so fun. I'm sad they didn't have the demo guy from the original come back tho
