Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here
You know, I honestly can't say if I would have prefered Halo as an Action Adventure or FPS.
The Action Adventure looks like it would have been interesting, but then again, it may have actually been too complicated for it's time, it looks like it would have tried to be, on the multiplayer side, similar to Eve Online or Star Wars Galaxies, just without NPC's and with open FPS style combat.
From what I saw in that video, the only aspect of Halo that changed was multiplayer, and, of course, some of the character models. So as was pointed out, this is pre-Microsoft, and so I think really that Bungie's partnership with Microsoft didn't really alter anything about Halo save the platform, their multiplayer was way before it's time, and I honestly don't think they would have gotten it to work. Perhaps Halo 3 multiplayer will showcase exactly what Bungie envisioned back in 2000, or possibly that's what Peter Jackson is working on, a Halo Action Adventure moulded after these first ideas.
I actually hope they are doing this for whatever PJ is doing, and just give us better Halo 2 style multiplayer for H3. And I also hope that the PJ project is for PC!!!!
