I remember downloading this video on dial up in 2003 just so I could watch it multiple times. Back when video games showed you something you had never seen before with each sequel
The original New Mombasa is such a fascinating aesthetic, it really comes off as a city more befitting of the universe Halo 1 established before the re-design. That futuristic comic book-esque look to it all really feels like something you'd see cyborg super soldiers in ATV helmets running around in.
I mean that was kinda the aesthetic ODST went for, and Metropolis was also like that. The first mission just took place in Old Mombasa which looks more like a contemporary city.

I just saw this! Oh, man. You have NO idea for how long I've wanted for the Halo 2 E3 demo. It's lost media I've been desperate to play with for so, so long. Best of luck, guys. You are a blessing on the Halo community.
Okay the ai driving in this is actually pretty damn good. Great scripting it almost seemed as if it was a buddy of yours taking the wheel for driving. It was fast paced and full of elegance.
I first saw this demo as a little kid and it was always locked away deep in my mind like some sort of fever dream. I had vague memories of the stuff that happened could never remember where or what it was from. It felt like the mandela effect and I had memories from an alternate reality with an alternate halo 2 campaign lol
When I saw this as a kid for some reason I thought this was playable on the silver limited edition copy of halo 2 lol so I was trying to get one for a long time but then as I got older I was like wait a minute...
It's a shame that Bungie had to scrap this version. "Termite Mound" New Mombasa was (imo) way more interesting than "Space Elevator" New Mombasa and was a city I always wanted to explore. Can't wait to finally play this.
@@mrtoad6870 It's a little weird looking, but New Mombasa was originally a giant tower ascending into the clouds with platforms that held entire city sections on it.
kind of too alien looking for my taste, the "ordinary" looking city scape contrasts better with High Charity, but I think this design should've been reused for some other place in the lore, like Sunaion or something
@@blueshit199 True, but the reason this design fascinates me is that I’ve never seen anything even close to it not just in Halo but in any work. Probably the closest alternative is DXHR’s Hengsha and maybe Coruscant.
This is actually amazing stuff. I can’t wait to finally play this piece of Halo history. This demo always fascinated me not only because we never got to play it, but also because it showed a very different version of Halo 2 that I always thought looked cooler than what we got. If only we could’ve had stencil shadows…
@@ashyoshicharizard3949 Halo CE as we know it was in development since mid 2000, giving it one year at least of full development, at it was never trying to be the scale of what halo 2 tried, and Halo 3 started development shortly after Halo 2 launched. Halo 2 got completely scrapped and rebooted just 10 months before release, a third of the levels were cut, the whole engine had to be thrown out, etc. So yeah, Halo CE and 3 were not rushed, Halo 2 was, and it shows everywhere
New Mombasa looks so good. It makes me wish we got this in the final game. A scripted second on the Guass Hog would have been a great way to showcase things. But I can understand how this didn’t make the final cut.
i remember the VIDoc detailing that the original version they used to present halo back in the day was held together with duct tape and screws.its a miracle yall got it working again.its also amazing to see how all these things translated into the final version in halo 2 itself. The two snipers in the introduction,chasing the covenant land transports through mombasa. et cetera
All I can say is good luck to them to fix the scarab shots they used for the anti air guns projectiles in the e3 trailer. The covenant AA guns used are all broken just leaving one scarab fire long enough can remove bipeds and cause all kinds of issues later in a level now imagine all the AA guns in that demo going off one after another and some one just chilled a couple minutes. Its probably why they still have them disabled in this run through of the level its the reason they were disabled in the main game and still are to this date.
Not going to lie, I remember playing the demo, watching my big brothers play it, or watching it back during the early e3 days. I'm not quite sure, my memory is blurry but I remember all of these things happening when I was younger around 2003. I was 2-3 years old at the time, but I was very fond and hyped during that time seeing my brothers play.
looks amazing! now hopefully they add that warm color filter to the graphics and lower the view model a bit and add the semi shot rather than the 3 burst
This is looking amazing so far. It's leaving me excited. I watched the demo so many times back in the old days of the OG xbox. I'm looking forward to this.
Dude i must have watched the original 1000 times when it first came out. I remember it was like 4am at my cousins house and we came across this new halo 2 video. I was maybe 10 years old.
All we need now is the single shot battle rifle, implementation of the the wonky three hit melee combos, perpetual dual wielded SMGs Banks gives you (with appropriate crosshairs), and the BR reloads (which you do have the pulling back of the charging handle). Then the world will be right.
Here’s an interview of the Bungie who originally created the demo. It’s also a great read if you’re a real Halo 2 fan. medium.com/@Oozer3993/an-oral-history-of-the-halo-2-e3-2003-demo-700d978b92dc

@@VaporShiroVTuberCh they might adding more stuff to make it seem full of action because i dont see what i saw in the e3 demo on here no offence it kinda seem dead compared to the e3 demo
I remember being like 4 or 5 years old wondering where this was in the game. I wanted to play it so bad lmao. This is really good, however a few things I'm nit picking about is the br, the blood, effects from explosion etc. Especially lighting also. When chief is shooting the gauss gun at the phantom the visual damage effects need that turquoise/green plasma explosion and pretty much the same thing goes for the shadow. If everything I mentioned doesn't get added then I at least want that level of blood bc to me it will feel like its supposed, this war is brutal so it just needs that for sure.
@@cancerousnut7767 yes they did the original demo of this had a part where chief was walking through debis after he and those helljumpers threw a frag to kill the covenant stopping them from advancing. On the otherside was jackles with those shields while that covenant troop train transport took off.
As a reminder. Go sub to Digsite as well as VKMT. The work they are doing to keep the community alive is beyond commendable. th-cam.com/users/DigsiteCrew
I wonder if it is possible to add in the stencil shaders that was used in the original engine of the edmo, probably impossible but i wonder if its something that could be done. Loving the work!
I would like to see this ported to the OG xbox build of halo 2, so we can definitely check what would have been possible to keep from the demo in the final game if Bungie had more time to develope the game. I believe the OG xbox would run it somewhat fine, with a few hiccups during phases of the mission that have a lot of assets in the scene. Some optimization would be needed to increase its performance, like reducing the quality of textures and a better asset spawn logic, but it would still be impressive to see
It would crash. 343 has 1 single OG Xbox with the original H2 Demo on it, which was at a time considered forgotten. Since we had videos but there was no actual copy. Aside from that H2 demo was simply too ambitious for the engine to run. It could be on 360 or Xbox One but on the OG Xbox no.
There's a Halo 2 uncut mod that the vengeful vadam did that enables you to experience Halo 2's original path of completion. This of course means that the single shot BR is useable, and man is it worth it.
Is there any way to help donate for all the hard work that has been done working on this? Halo 2 has a very special place in my heart and to see this in the works is amazing.

The BR needs to be single shot when zoomed in.
Or Select Fire?

@@ahsokatano5657 yeah big common 343 L to announce something and never finish it
We need the single shot BR!
There's a Halo 2 uncut mod that the vengeful vadam did that enables you to experience Halo 2's original path of completion. This of course means that the single shot BR is useable, and man is it worth it.
Stacked up buildings such awesome eye opener. Halo should never went down the realistic route.
Original BR looks unfinished from the E3 demo though I like the take that the SPV3 mod took on the BR
Is there any way to help donate for all the hard work that has been done working on this? Halo 2 has a very special place in my heart and to see this in the works is amazing.
Digsite members stream from time to time. I don’t think they’re allowed to receive money for this work. But it doesn’t mean you can’t support them for other reasons ✌️
Here's all the smoke and mirrors pre recorded bullshit you've always dreamed of. But either way this demo looks badass
