Here's an interesting drinking game for you guys. Take a shot every time I say the words "final", "alpha", "counterpart", and "retail". I doubt anyone survives.
13:36 I didn't hear what you said there. "notable difference for the spartans in this alpha build, is it features the *??????? ??used* in the final game."
26:18 for anyone wondering. Someone actually created a mod for the PC version of Halo Wars 1 that adds the pelicans back as trainable and useable units. They also include working guns.
At 39:54 in the middle picture there is an anti-air wrath! It's seen on the far left in gold firing green projectiles. I remember seeing this as a kid but never being able to play with it and thinking it must be some secret and when I searched online no one ever talked about it so I thought I was crazy. lol
there's a way to abuse the non-host lag in halo wars lobbies so that you end up with 3v1, 4v2 or even 5v1 games, hard to describe over text but add me on steam and I'll show it off steamcommunity.com/id/UGoBoom/
Honestly wanted to play the e3 alpha build version from the showcase. the base looked way cooler than what we got. it gave me the feeling that we could make bases like ones from c&c
I keep wondering what the purpose of that weird debug number in the lower-right corner. It seems to be a timer, but it increases faster than the real timer in the corner. Other Halo beta videos have timers like this as well, but with how fast those move, I don't know how anyone could make use of these counters.
beta_3v3_arabia is a fascinating glimpse of the old ensemble studios titles, as arabia was a map type particular to Age of Empires 2. Interestingly, Frozen Valley isn't as open as an Arabia map, though it isn't too far off and has similarly limited elevation ranges.
This is so fucking awesome..look at those animations!Why couldnt they do this in HW2???After all those years..instead we get generic construction in a single base
They didn’t even kill it for that reason. They killed it because it only sold 3 million units, and because they mismanaged the studio and bought the studio a new building that wasn’t being used for a Halo mmo. The building wasn’t being used because they were still waiting for the go ahead to expand the team.
This was fantastic! What a great insight into the early game.
TeamRespawn get out of here you dangos and make some terrible mythbusters where one of you is possessed by a "Kay demon" XD
TeamRespawn greeting and salutations you weird dango
when the scorpion started driving upside down , did you try to press X to flip it?
Yes.
No.
Maybe?
The scenes with the Scorpion driving backwards and the other one upside down was one of the funniest things I have ever seen

The Vengeful 'Vadam Hey, what was the music you used when showing how broken the Grizzly is?
I will respond K to that

I wish we would have gotten a game that looked like what was shown at e3

I SAW THAT GARRUS YOU PUT UP ON THE CALIBRATIONS MENU! The Calibrations are strong with this one.
Interesting that the Kodiak became what the cobra was originally meant to be

Damn I never noticed that
@@thelvadam2884 finally, recognition. Lol
These early builds of Halo games are always super interesting! Thank you so much for going over and showing us this!
Quality Halo content love to think of what Halo wars may have been to this day!¿ :)
I want a beta of your channel
Wow, everything is so Expensive!
>it's impossible to do a 4v2 or a 5v1 in the final version of the game
oh boy do I have a cool ass glitch to show you or what.

Hmm ?

hahahahahaHAHHAHAAHHAHA
Awesome dude! I really like Halo Wars, really cool to see this stuff. Will def be downloading the unlocked beta thing! You got a sub!
some of these aspects are really cool, and i would love to see some of these combined with what we have today
Because whatever you get bored, you go and find Alpha builds

1:19 “Options that would typically be expected from a campaign menu.” Tell that to Infinite
the only cut content i miss is the cut units, animations, (and maybe) the free building style
Great video! Can't wait for the one on reach!
I want Halo wars 3 with ensemble studios and creative assembly working together. And with more then enough time for them to work on it.
Ensembles long gone my friend.
Ensemble Studios kinda died after the release of Halo Wars.
I really enjoy your videos!!!!

The E3 demo looked so much better than the final game
Vengeful 'Vadam: I'm going to upgrade you.
Cannon Turret: Ight. Imma head out.
29:54
the upgraded turret cannot vibe with this universe

Fantastic video! Well done indeed
Have we been able to rip 3d models and assets from this halo wars alpha build?
Song at 21:16 ?
Why does this look better then the Halo Wars we have now?
No
*THUMBNAIL*
VengefulVadam is the father.
Player 2 is the son.
I always question myself how the heck u get this Alphas and Betas like was Halo 2 even H3
That sprint wouldve been great
Over powered
"when is a door not a door"
incredible name
This is so fucking awesome..look at those animations!Why couldnt they do this in HW2???After all those years..instead we get generic construction in a single base
MHelioSkrill Z What do you mean hw2 looks great and I bet the xbox one couldnt handle that animation.
They wanted to make up for the controllers slower movement than with a mouse.
I kinda like the alpha Base design more so than the one we got in the retail version.
OMG HALO REACH BETA YUUUUUSSSSSS
Krabb ppl kraab ppl look like crab but talk like ppl.. 🦀 🐊
When is the Halo spv3 overview ? NEED IT
My brother this was amazing if I knew the hierarchs it would get a promotion
Much prefer the classic Cyclops look. It seems like some older models where of much higher quality
Its a shame that it didn’t have more time and budget. Halo wars 1 could have been so much more of an amazing game.
It's still an amazing game
Hey! How did you get this?

Funny how the kodiacs are literally the alpha cobra build.
It gonna lie I quite like the Grizzly design in this build. They look so fucking tanky
Yeah it's way more unique looking compared to the knock-off Mammoth look the final version has.
I just want to know what happened with the graphics
Those place holder map names are references to Age of empires.
those marines sprint like hannah barbara
im so so sad there was no theater mode for this game
How does this look better than Halo Wars 2
Happy halo 3 anniversary
Why this video is in only 360p?
It was still processing. It's in 1080 60 fps now.
The Vengeful 'Vadam lol
sierra 117 MasterChief sorry about cortana's death chief!my condolences.
darth vader i find your lack of faith disturbing
i wish we could use the pelicans :'(
shh, you missed the e3 scarab :p
can you give out these files, I'd live to mod the maps into my mod
Check the pinned comment.
Anyone else kinda like the og command center?
Still pisses me off that Microsoft killed off Ensemble for this game. It was Microsoft's fault this game didn't hold up
They didn’t even kill it for that reason. They killed it because it only sold 3 million units, and because they mismanaged the studio and bought the studio a new building that wasn’t being used for a Halo mmo. The building wasn’t being used because they were still waiting for the go ahead to expand the team.
Press X to flip Scorpion
Garrus at 3:50
I love you
4 reactors just to make a cyclops? Lol what were they thinking
Nice and early
Why does Microsoft let the pelican be a troop in halo wars games and let is be a vehicle in halo games I bet everyone would love it
That was a mod
The models of Marines looked far better.
gyftostan
Fart noise
Vulture rick??
No?
K
topkek
Alpha looks way better and more realistic
