I remember it vividly. Thinking about it all day in school, finally getting home and seeing it on the table. But my dad took me to my grans for most of the evening, so I took the manual and read it thoroughly while there. I got home and got to play through Cairo Station before being told to go to bed. It was so bittersweet. Regarding the demo mission, I just played it, and it feels like we finally get a taste of the Halo 2 that nearly was, particularly the fact that the old lighting engine is present in the download! Like the music in the credits, I feel a nice sense of closure, after 20 years. I've been wondering lately; If the creators of Halo 2 would ever get back together to create the Halo 2 they planned from the beginning if they had the opportunity.

I always felt like Halo 2 has held this soft spot for me. Like I think Halo CE is more satisfying to play while Halo 3 and Reach are arguably better when it comes to gameplay and level design. But something about Halo 2 with its story, characters, narrative, many different enemies and vehicles, different enemy factions, its soundtrack…it’s hard to describe but it all just comes together so beautifully. I also can’t help but feel that due to Halo 2’s heavy focus on lore and narrative, your channel draws in a lot of inspiration from it, and for that I absolutely love your videos with your attention to details and your thoughts on the Halo universe and for that I thank you for the 5-8ish years I’ve been watching your videos. Happy 20th anniversary Halo 2, you are truly a magnum opus in the gaming world 🎉

The Shadow is truly a neat vehicle that was so sadly underutilised. I used to take over the turret and my friend and I would speculate why the rate of fire was so much higher. Maybe it was an "AA" version of the standard Shade? Or all Shades had a variable ROF but only the vehicle mounted version had a large enough power/fuel supply to allow the higher ROF, while the stationary defence ones had a smaller supply so the gunners needed to use less, hopefully better aimed fire

Now that we have this, I imagine someone remaking Halo 2 inside of Halo 2, with extremely different content that was supposed to be there before Bungie had to scrap a lot of stuff. Next thing that we need is for DIGSITE to make the OG Xbox Halo 3 build since Halo 3 was supposed to come out on that console, but that too was scrapped for the better 360. That is if there's any asset from that build left in the game files. Also it felt good to replay Halo 2 campaign earlier today ON ITS BIRTHDAY mind you. If only I kept one graphics mode (the OG one) enabled then it would of felt like I opened Halo 2 20 years after my last playtime on the OG xbox. Felt like a time capsule. If only I didn't go the anniversary graphics and used an xbox controller instead. Lastly, for those who don't know yet, you can play Halo 2 on 9th of any month (if only it was only on November instead of any month though) and you'll get an achievement on MCC named "Back at it". Only 10.3% of all Steam players have it unlocked. This is assuming you have the game on Steam.

I would imagine the og Xbox Halo 3 stuff never went beyond prototyping. I highly doubt any actual playable levels were made. Either way I doubt there was much made at all before development shifted to the 360 (you know MS let Bungie know they wanted a Halo sequel on the 360 ASAP).
