Subject: Halo Combat Evolved: What was the idea story before CE?

Halo marathon for the release of Reach!

Hi, i've started playing Halo like 2 years ago and just recently reading about the history (fiction and game development), but even though we already saw the MacWorld trailers and that stuff. But what was the story behind the original idea of the game. I'd like peoples ideas and would greatly appreciate input from Bungie Employees.
Thanks in advance to any help and I hope people have good thoughs about it to share

Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

They're was tons of different levels of development in the story. At one point less advanced Humans were going to be found on the Ring, who'm you'd actually fight. The Flood was a Covenant creation used against Humans, and to absorb their thoughts and knowledge, and Cortana would go rampant as mentioned above.

It really didn't become the Halo we know until just a couple of months before the game shipped.

Sorry, but I honestly can't remember where I heard about this stuff. Probably a mix of BNET employe interviews, podcast, ViDocs, and maybe even some of the Bonus Features in the Halo 3 Legendary edition.
