I did and was super excited at the time, the music is still immense.

This game sold the Xbox at launch

Minds blown

@@crouchjump5787 amazing, I first played Halo in 2002 when it first became available in the U.K. I was blown away, to think you first saw this when I was still playing PS1 😲😲😲

yee haw

Halo infinite’s campaign trailer dropped, very reminiscent of halo ce

@@HazorInc Yeah the gameplay and oldschool feeling was great, too bad graphically it looks like a Xbox One game and not something to showcase the Series X. Hopefully it looks much better at launch and looks more like the 2018 announcement trailer. Overall I'm looking forward to it.

And it was the first time console gamers got to experience huge online multiplayer games.

And today and next weekend we get to play a CE inspired map.. man how life goes fast

i cant hear these songs without Staten's narration, 13 years later. i remember DOWNLOADING this video. an entire video, downloaded! 2001 was magical. it still is, love you Halo.

Oof! Oh how broken your heart must be...

I hate the Elites tri shield never made it in the game :(

Because now the flashlight comes from Masterchief's helmet ;)

Interestingly, if you notice the little button chief clicks on the assault rifle to turn on the flashlight, it’s still there in the final game.

Funny thing is it's Joesph enabling the free flying camera mode and moving the camera himself, then switching back to first person. All of this only worked on debug builds on debug consoles of course.

Interesting, Halo Combat Evolved predates Return To Castle Wolfenstien, came out same year and same month(November 2001).

General OFG I especially like the melee attack

Tristen112 Yup, the melee and if you look closely, you can see chiefs hand adjust to turn on the flashlight! Wtf happened to that? Lol.

@@cleanserofnoobs4162 that was actually in the game I thought

@@ghst6173 Nope. For some reason Bungie removed that animation. You can still use the flashlight in the finished product, but I guess Bungie removed the button pushing animation to save space for the xbox hardware or some other resources. That's just my theory why. Wish it was kept in.

CleanserOfNoobs It may be because they changed the flashlight system to come out of his helmet so he could use it with all weapons instead of just the assault rifle or a couple other weapons. In the final game you can see it comes out of his helmet

3rd person was my dream, too good the mod for it shows Halo CE is literally perfect as a 3rd person. It was the original plan too, I dislike FPS games in general but I still love Halo, Sucks Microsoft is milking it. Yea 343 is better than nothing.

023BTM I'm the opposite. First person all the way, although there's room for both.

The game was def locked in for first person by this time. He is enabling the "free flying camera" that is only available in developer/debug builds of the xbox version to show different camera angles. Those camera movements at the start are not pre programmed, its him moving the camera around and switching camera modes.

Dan Blues I would too

Nice timecode

The marines in the game do react when you do jumps and stuff like that in the warthog. But that particular voice clip is not in the final game.

@@sean8102 I thought the developer was saying that

This is also at a time when most people had hardly ever used controllers to play any sort of a First Person Shooter, it was a new concept at the time.

Part of the problem was they originally had the idea of having the assault rifle fire by requiring to squeeze the trigger each time you wanted to fire, you couldn't not just hold it down. Thank god they ditched that idea before ship.

I dunno man the graphics kinda look like they're from 2001. It'd be cool if they'd add a grappling hook or sprinting though.

There was actually an animation when you turned on your flashlight on the side of the rifle. But Bungie removed that feature, probably because they had to sacrifice for hardware limitations at the time.

@@cleanserofnoobs4162 Or because he has helmet lights

@@dtgs4502 Yeah... that was the replacement, no animations needed, it just turns on now

@@cleanserofnoobs4162 can you imagine not being able to shoot or melee because you have to finish the flashlight animation?

@@AnEveryManJack I mean that would suck I suppose but there's also reload that does that, which takes longer.

Welp, Craig has arrived.

@@adamstryker999 who is craig?

@@FroztiProductions Why dont you pay a visit to the halo subreddit

adamstryker999 Craig is Infinite.

@@FroztiProductions it's here!

Ha 😅

Was in 3rd grade when it came out

I was 6 years old when it came out the first real game ever played was unreal tournament I had no internet just a shitty pc that could barely run vice city 10 fps lol

I was 6 when this came out.. didn’t know wtf halo was played it in 2002

SHODAN64 I was 6 as well. Miss the good ole days from like 01 til I graduated high school staying up all night playing Halo with my pals

They tried to pull that off a few times, but the little GeForce 3 based GPU in the Xbox couldn't handle it.

Simple environment mapping. A lot of games for the time used the method to simulate reflective or metallic surfaces. Still in the retail game with a fake visor shadow thrown in that sometimes looks like a reflection.

It’s from “Truth and Reconciliation Suite” on the OST. It doesn’t appear in-game in the final version, just promotional material like this.

Why tf GAYSTATION

superlauch25 Pretty sure it's not gunna happen. But I would like that. I'd also like to play the halo 2 demo, and see all the stuff they removed from their games. To get a glimpse of what they could have been, for better or worse.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otBpZMRnvJ-Vemw.html this?

This was definitely in CE it was on the second mission “halo” when you leave that structure in the mountains if I remember correctly...

It was in the game at the end.

@@DaDARKPass Yeah on Two Betrayals when that massive door opens.

That specific part of the track (from “Truth & Reconciliation Suite”) was only on the OST, not in-game for CE. Same goes for the Halo Theme “Rock Remix”towards the end.

It's at the end of "Truth and Reconciliation Suite" on the Halo: CE OST

Halo one had a very short dev time. The version we got didn't have a very long development time at all. And they had to transfer from PC/Mac to Xbox (a brand new console at the time) at the last minute.

w-what! 🤣

240p

Have you not seen old video game footage before lol

Because 2001 home internet speeds typically couldn't support 720p/1080p and higher. Hell the home PC's of the time couldn't even decode the codecs of that time at the res either.

It’s like the early 2000’s was an old ass decade footage and video does look like it was from the 80’s yet I remember watching this shit too

Don't get me wrong I love Halo but everything you're saying here is 100% correct. Call of Duty is another one to blame.

Completely clueless comment lol. Do you hate lan parties or something

It would've become like this regardless, original xbox was an amazing console too, idiotic comment

@@crashbash8549 The xbox was a console for tech snobs with more money than taste or sense and 90's gamers that were now teenagers, and hence contrarian, that wanted to be different just because the PS2 was the superior console. I remember children going on about "how good the shadows looked in splinter cell" as if they could see them on their shit CRT tvs. The xbox was a doorstop that happened to be in the right place at the right time and survived just because there are a lot of dumb people who got tricked by a billion dollar marketing machine in microsoft. Had it died, as it should have, the current gaming landscape would be very different. The ripples it created are now a tsunami that will destroy the gaming market eventually. And it all started because a slightly above average fps fooled you all.

At least Bungie made 2 and 3 better when they were still the primary developer of the Halo series. Halo 1 may be weak in terms of copy paste map structures but the AI, weapons, and vehicles is what made the game so good. Each enemy is unique in their own way in this game, and the weapons and vehicles are very solid too. I thought Halos 1-3 were the unmasked jewels, but everything after 3 imo just left a bad taste in my mouth. Hope 343 learns their lesson with the next game.

PC was never a consideration until after Xbox bought Bungie.

You call em gimmicks, I call em revolutionary game design that add a whole new tactical sense not found in games prior. Fact: there's more on your feet tactical thinking required on this on Legendary than 90% shooters out there. Indisputable.

The storyline was great and the map design repeated in only three levels and only for parts of two of them. However, more importantly, the gameplay did NOT repeat in those levels thanks to new enemy encounters snd vehicles. When people say half of Halo is a repeat, they're wrong. It's more like 1/7th if you actually think about where it repeats.

Shut up bro I was around back when they released the game I saw this on KZfaq nothing like it at the time...
