Everyone knows that any game goes through a process of 'builds' where certain aspects are cut or added depending on feedback and general opinions of the developers. I've seen pictures of much earlier builds, like a large flood form, which was when Halo was going to have animals on it.

I left Halo on the mainscreen and it went onto the videos. I started to watch them more closely this time and I noticed that the videos were used from slightly earlier builds because things were different from the final game. Here are just a few I noticed:

* Shotgun in beginning part of 'Guilty Spark 343'.

* The bottom of the 1st chasm of AotCR doesn't have a shadow on the lefthand side (in respect in looking towards the rest of the level).

* When waiting for the Banshee or Scorpion to reload it says reloading and the the 4 dots instead of just the 4 dots.

* The Plasma Grenade rapidly flashes in the cinematic. In the final game it just fizzes and gives off light. I personally think this had something to do with epilepsy because it had my eyes going funny.

* When getting onto the floor of the the 1st chasm of AotCR and protecting the Marines, a Covenant dropship comes and drops off some troops. You usually just find the Marines getting attacked.

Anyone else notice these? Did anyone find anymore?

While I don't have any of the older clips with me right now, I have noticed two things

1.) Did it seem like the needles on the needler seem diffrent to you?
2.) (And i know you have to dig deep to see this) the A-Rifle is two tone, Dark Green and Gray.
