Maybe ODST city events will play in similar fashion to the great demo they showed us then.Not exactly holding my breath though but certainly it is a real shame Halo2 didn't compare to how great it all looked back then.

I think we were all expecting something along the lines of what we saw at E3 and i'm guessing we all came away quite disapointed following completion of Mombassa.Halo2 was still a really good game for the most of course and the refinements were sensible enough and well implemented but i still hunger to play this more exciting version.Limitations i guess but I think Bungie would do well in recreating this again for the new ODST - minus elites of course.Probably a bit late now if they havn't already and in anycase i'm not exactly expecting it

It was of course only an awesome demo back then but coupled with what Bungie know now regards to their combat design etc, a remake of just the demo alone would be unbelievable for fans

Please oh mighty Bungie make us all very happy one day

It would be nice if events were similar to how things played out at some stage in the game

Asking a bit much from ODST because it's not really designed with this in mind i doubt

A standard linear level like any other would be a beautifull gift in any form if it mirrored what we saw of it all those years ago

Did you witness the unveiling of this demo?

Don't get me wrong, i'm very much looking forward to ODST and all it's greatness

When I first got my original Xbox and Halo 1 back then, I had that Halo 2 trailer on my Halo 1. Some pretty awesome stuff, I was really bummed to find out that we didn't get to play on that level.
