Just from playing it, it feels like a mix between Halo CE and Halo 2.

Halo 2 still looks great

2 and 3 should have been one game imo, and I do wish that E3 demo would see the light of day again. I'd love to play it.

That was the original intention. The stuff surrounding the Ark Portal in H3 was originally gonna be in Halo 2 - only, the structure at Voi would have been the Ark as opposed to a portal. It was cut because of Halo 2's clusterfuck of a development cycle.

Frankie talked about this one a while back actually. Apparently they did discuss it for MCC as the files are still around - but they decided not to because almost everything you see is pre-scripted and if you venture off the assigned path even slightly, the entire thing crashes. So while it'd be fun as a one-time novelty, it's not worth the dev time to implement nor would it be particularly fun or engaging to play in of itself.

I know. The Original ending for Halo 2 was to also defeat Truth instead of The Arbiter killing him in Halo 3.

Oh I don't want 343 to even touch that shit. Like how this Halo 2 Multiplayer Alpha got acquired, I would be more than happy if the modding community got its hands on it instead.

It belongs on a softmodded console or dev kit, and Original Xbox softmodding is easy to do.

Yeah I guess it is easy to hide on Halo 2 instead of facing me on Halo 3

Get your Softmodded Original Xbox out, download the alpha and 1v1 with me via Xlink Kai.

Oh right you don't have one.
