Pretty neat to see this early build and concept artwork from the original Halo.

Also, there is this:

Very cool, thanks for sharing OP!!!

I love this. I wonder what things would have been like of this came to Mac in its original planned state

I’ll have to make this all public somehow once I sort through it all.

Oh shit, that'd be sick. I'd love to dig into all this stuff myself and mess around with it. Man some of those cut alien's look insane!

This is great. I love the enemies as well.
Thanks for sharing!
I hope they add giant flood in infinite

Also, the yellow forerunner interiors make them feel more exotic (not talking about Delta Halo from Halo 2, those where just ruins and I thought they looked lame)

Yeah, it would be interesting to play this build as well as the early stuff for Halo 2.

turning the game into an FPS was the right decision.

Amazing to hear how many sounds they had already back then that they'd recycle years later. Those sniper rifle sounds are embedded in my mind so clearly. I have magazines from around that time showing it off, and remember watching all the trailers and demos they showed off before finally unveiling the Xbox version and the same was such a mystery. In retrospect it was all down to a tumultuous development cycle with lots of changes to target platform and overall design decisions. But I'm happy with the way Halo turned out, at least the first one. It feels like the perfect blend between these early 'dreamer' esque concepts and a finished shippable product. Thanks for the links.
