It would have been a lot better than the New Mombasa levels we have now I think.

I doubt the Xbox could run that demo. Look at the announcement trailer and the final product you see at the end of Cairo Station. The announcement trailer looks remarkably similar to how the New Mombasa demo looked in terms of detail especially in the armor and lighting but the final product exhibits none of the details that were present in the trailer. Therefore I have to assume they had to redo the entire level and make it into what is known as Outskirts because they completely overestimated the hardware capabilities of the Xbox. Even still the hardware barely keeps up because it's plagued with pop in textures everywhere.

true true when they ran the demo they had to plug more memory into the xbox to get it going

I don't think it would have been a good level. It was just 7 minutes long and totally scripted.

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

Hahahah I have this trailer on my Halo CE disc. Talk about sweet.

It would have been pretty cool... but the green plasma junk really killed it. I like the way the weapons were finished by ship date. The BR was a complete ownage wagon though.
