I'm not saying I expect to every play it, and I realize it was "smoke and mirrors"...but still it was that video which sold me on purchasing an Xbox & Xbox Live for the sole purpose of playing Halo 2 (and Halo 1) on it. Ironically, it is the loss of Xbox Live support for Halo 2, which has caused me to decide to let my Xbox Live (Gold) Subscription expire and not spend the money on refurbishing my 360 the next time it gets the Red Ring of Death.

The graphics look more impressive, the weapons are different, even the SMG seems like a better weapon than it was in the final game. The environment looks amazing and the story has an epic scale with Cutscenes of high production value.

I'm not saying I didn't love Halo 2 (quite the opposite actually), it's just seven years later and I still want to play the level in the Halo 2 E3 2003 Campaign Demo.

...Yes. That level looked better than half the levels I've played since then, honestly, hahaha. Though a bit short.

It looked pretty insane. I would love to.

A larger version though? I mean, with more room for traveling around the city in the hog sweeping out covies. It does look awesome though.

Basically yes.

I would kill to play this, it looked and still looks awesome to this day, I felt real disappointed when I learned that this level wasn't in the retail game.

you can probably ask anyone this question, and they will most likely ansewer yes, myself included.

Oh, and if you REALLY need to play this, there is a way. If you have Halo: custom edition, there are multiple custom maps based on this demo.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I'm dying for it.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I want to play it one day.

Been playing Halo since 2001. I know my Halo.

I'd love to play it, but Bungie stated that the entire mission was scripted. Somebody was madly deleting objects behind the player so the demo wouldn't crash.

Been playing Halo a long time. Love video games. But how many of you have a higher score in Ninja Gaiden?

Napoleon said, "I'd rather have a general who is lucky than one who is good."

I hoped in Halo 3 and ODST that Bungie would make a level that epic and with that bluish, tall, smooth architecture (Halo 2 and 3 didn't look like 500 years in the future), but I was always disappointed.

here is a link to one of many custom maps:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1949
note: this is a remke of the map for multiplayer use, and is not scripted nor dose it contain AI. you can probably find modded versions with halo 2 weapons and such.
Also, i did not make this, nor do I take credit for this.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

I'd still like to have a chance to play through this level, but I think what we ended up with in the final game was better than this level could have ever been. The E3 demo was just for show - there was no real gameplay to speak of - whereas Outskirts/Metropolis were fully executed levels with a good balance of visual spectacle and enemy encounters.

  • 04.18.2010 3:57 PM PDT

Definitely. That demo looked awesome!
