I was browsing through some of the Concept Art for Halo 3: ODST. I noticed some for the Character: The Rookie. As well as some of New Mombasa.

Early Concept Art for The Rookie - Notice the large amount of equipment, also his impressive helmet. This looks to me, far more impressive than the final version. Also, this character is carrying a Battle Rifle, non-apparent in the finished product.

Final Version of TheRookie - He has far less equipment, a smaller helmet and now wielding a silenced sub-machine gun.

Concept Art for New Mombasa - Notice in this image, a relatively large-scale battle is taking place, featuring a squad of ODSTs, as well as a large group of Marines, with special units. It would've been nice to see battles like this in the final game.

Not that Halo 3: ODST was bad, it was brilliant. I just feel that the game didn't fulfill its true potential, the Concept Art looks more exciting than the finished game.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Concept art is just that, a concept, sadly.
Concepts also tend to look a lot cooler than the final game. As do pre-release stuff.
Only a cruel god(s) would create a such world as ours :P
