Just look at this
UI
This early UI concept was amazing, it would´ve had been awesome if this UI was at launch… but Microsoft decided to rush H5 ):
Why you guys dont add this later on future updates? It is beautiful
Yeah, that UI would’ve been awesome. I saw it right when it was released and I questioned why 343 didn’t stay with this version.

Yeah it is fantastic
Why would they ever change this!It looks FANTASTIC! I can’t believe that they’d scrap this!
We can just hope that they implement it in 9 months kind of like how destiny changed their ui with TTK or for halo 6. Also, when they were showing the revive mechanic with the recruit armored guy laying on the ground, he looked so gritty and not as plasticky I wished they stuck with it.
Wow, I honestly wish I hadn’t seen that video. Those concepts look stunning, and it just magnifies how TERRIBLE the current UI is.
I mean, there has to be a legitimate reason why 343i couldn’t pull that off. Right?
That UI looks so much better and more refined than what we got. The current UI looks so bland and after watching that it just looks even worse to me now.
Yes. Everything in that video is better that what was released in the final game.
Makes you wonder who made the decision to change it and why.
It’s almost like they wanted people to complain about their current UI
Its likely some higher up who doesn’t play halo didn’t like it so they had them change it.

Just like how they already have playlists made, but want people to ask for it
I always had a soft-spot for glowing things.
I agree with everything the guy in the video said. I loved it all, but prefer how the Playlists are displayed now. They really need to fix that stupid loading splash screen when backing out of Arena, or Warzone and going back to the main menu. I have no idea why that even exists!
So I followed the link and found this. Not only is that UI a thousand times better than what we got in the final game, in the images shown revealed there was originally more missions planned!! 343 does NOT have their act together…Microsoft needs to make some serious personnel changes and get this game back on track to where it was going after 2010. Here’s a conversation that took place beneath the youtube video showing off that gorgeous UI.

+BubbaDJ000 So it’s like the “Halo 2 was much larger but was scaled back due to various budget and time restrictions and had to be incorporated into the sequel” situation?

+BubbaDJ000 He said it is three Times the size not three Times the length. When asked how long the campaign was he stated that it is a typical halo campaign but those hardcore fand can play through very slowly because there is so much to see (different paths and such Things)

+Stefan Sierraoneoneseven THANK YOU. Thats why some people loved the campaign and some didn’t. Because of different experiences and opinions on the game, itself.
Oh wow this is so much better!!
The armour textures look better too.
It seems they had great ideas, including the campaign (hunt the truth) and threw them all out for cheaper alternatives.
They will implement it in Halo 6 because they know their fanbase will praise them for making such vast “improvements” just as they praise them for giving us “free” updates. Saddening.
Tis the reality of AAA game development on strict holiday deadlines 
these are so much better. Halo 4s was the worst. Halo 5 is just missing so much.

Not just deadlines, but also marketing. Everything from Nightfall, to Hunt The Truth, to The Sprint, to the various live action trailers, all of them were on a very specific time-frame. If they delayed the game, it would’ve lessened the impact of all these marketing pieces and their planned release times.
Either way, we can’t really assume anything about the campaign. For all we know levels were shorter and more split up at that time.

The thing is, if I thought any other game developer had any chance at making a good Halo game, I would be willing to try. But seeing as how most other game developers will likely just see Halo as a video game, and nothing more, they won’t have any respect for it. At least 343 has some form of foundation in Halo; whether it be their old connection to Bungie, or the fact that many of them were fans of the game. 343 Industries has shown time and time again they have a passion for this franchise; even if they aren’t particularly great at making it.
343’s the best we’re gonna get. At least our beloved franchise is respected by them.
I hope we get a UI overhaul before the serious update phase ends.
