Shai Hulud, you stole my memory. I downloaded every video I could find for Halo, and saved every pre-M$ halo screenshot and burned it all onto a cd-r so that way, when all the links eventually died and the movies were nowhere to be found, i could still look back and see what Halo used to be and enjoy (i still like halo, but i enjoyed how different old halo was compared to every other fPS).

I agree with you, there were a lot of things I liked better about Halo "back then" more than I do now. And again, for one, the banshee seemed so much more intimidating as it howled and screamed through the air like an eagle searching for something to kill,as opposed to the way it meanders drunkingly thorugh the air now with a little whine, sounding more like a breeze than a banshee.

I wish I could remember what it was like the first time I saw the Macworld trailer. But I can take a pretty good guess. I remember setting my desktops to Halo screenshots. My favorite was this one and this one. Whoa! The environment reminded me of Black and White meets Sci-fi shooter.
Yes... Halo in MAC was suppose to be the ultimate game ever made. We had the Shadow, the Seraph, the Assault Cruisers, more Spartans, Marines in Tanks and driving Warthogs, Immense levels and high hills to look over an enourmous canyon, the sky, oh, the sky! Everything, Everything was so great, even the beach of Silent Cartographer was bigger and better, everything! Same with Halo 2, which was suppose to be so much more!
What happened, Bungie! What happened to your great game! Did only the really rich elitist guys get the "real" halo or something? Same with Halo 2? or what?! Please do not mess up Halo 3, Please make Halo 3 what Halo AND Halo 2 were suppose to become! Please! Your ambition is there, Your knowledge is there, your Resources are there! Good luck with it people!
