It was a modified unfinished Halo 2 engine. Did you notice the bump maps on the characters? The Halo1 engine can't do that.
Not to mention the blood particle effects were a bit above the H1 engine...
Idk... All sources I've read or seen EXCEPT ONE say it's the Halo 2 engine. :/
I could be wrong, and it's just an advanced H1 engine. It's a damn shame what happened to wideload though.
In my opinion, it would be an advanced Halo 1 Engine because a lot of the dying animations are the same as Halo 1 and when you drive vehicles, then tend to move just like Halo 1 vehicles, especially the hover vehicles. On top of that, if you flip out of a vehicle, you might get splattered by it. This situation on happened in Halo 1, in Halo 2, you would merely just take a little bit of damage.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related to the game engine, but the main menu for Stubbs The Zombie is almost the same as the main menu for Halo. Plus, on the Xbox version, there was an Easter Egg in Halo 1 where when you created a profile, if you type .fortune for that profile name, the game will tell you your fortune. That same Easter Egg exists in Stubbs The Zombie but it doesn't exist in Halo 2.
So that's what I believe for now. And what did happen to wideload? As far as I know, they kind of downsized or something and are working on smaller games for Xbox Live Arcade.
