In Halo CE on the Original Xbox, there was an extras menu, or something like that. Within this menu there was a video that showed a preview of a level from Halo 2. It was like a walk-through, watching from the first person perspective of someone playing one of the levels. In fact, it was the first scarab level on earth that’s like the second or third mission.
HOWEVER, the preview level was COMPLETELY different from what was actually released in Halo 2. There were even different vehicles, and I think brutes were in the level as well. All I remember is that it was awesome. It looked like they were going a completely different direction with the story-line and weapons, etc.
I’ve been trying to find a video of this level but can’t seem to pull it up. It would be really nostalgic so I’m wondering if anyone knows the video I’m talking about and has a link to it?
Thanks so much.

I think what you’re referring to was the e3 real time demo. Is this it? I had the game on the original Xbox never had PC which may have had something I missed. Let us know!

That’s the video he is referring to. The live demo from E3 2004. That was on some of the CE Extra Menu’s, I think the later disks that were made in 2003/2004. I remember watching that over and over and over again

Yeah that’s exactly it! Thank you so much guys! I watched it over and over again as well. It’s actually so dope, and I kinda wish they kept it this way. The SMGs are awesome, and just the whole level design is like a real war. Any ideas why they completely changed it? Were there negative reviews after the demo or something?
Oh my gosh, that video brings back all kinds of emotions and nostalgia! ='D
Though I don’t get why people keep pointing out that what we saw at E3 turned out to be nothing like the real level, when it is obvious that what we saw was a test, a preview.

I remember this but no link. i also remember them showcasing a Battle Rifle that would toggle between 3 shot burst and one shot. Like a DMR/BR in one. Pretty cool stuff. Halo 2 ended up being cut pretty short from what is was going to be, and had a lot of ideas pushed into halo 3 later. I feel like it’s the same thing going on with Bungie and Destiny right now
i think that this was awesome and it shows the flare that bungie had with halo

No, there just wasn’t enough time to include it on the final game. Halo 2 Behind The Scenes ViDoc showed us how difficult and time consuming it was to just get Halo 2 out the door. You should watch that when you have a chance

The whole Halo 2 engine was scrapped and re-done after this demo… it’s really sad. Watch some of the behind the scenes vids, they talk about it.
