I wondered if anyone has some old screenshots from before the Halo concept was bought by Microsoft. I found an old gamemagazine with some pics and an article.
"I was happy as a child the first time i heard about Halo. This games should orchard all and better to. The graphic is expected to be fabulous and the gameplay should be all to top. Bungie has developed the game and for that we are thankfull. Screenshots have filled the internet and several reviewers is agree , this games vil put the standard by the next age from games. Halo is a ringformed world. The machine behind Halo is absolute fantastic because everything around you continues whatever you're playing or not. There's only one mission in the game however it is very long indeed. You shall absolutely wipe out an alien race. To your disposal you have all from your own human weapons to the more advanced alien guns. From the vehicles can be name a jeep with a cal. 50 machinegun at the rooftop or an alien battle aircraft. In Halo there is a quite advanced multiplayer part. They feeding to that comprise teams and deligate objectives between themselves. Three men can board a jeep splitting the jobs forth so the first drives , the second serving the machinegun and the third handles the ammunition. There will even be peculiar submissions that only can be completed if there's more than five persons that works together. The multiplayer part will be like a whole world like Ultima Online but better and faster. The graphic in Halo is absolutely a sight for sore eyes. It almost can't be described it has to be experienced. bodys and weapons stays on the ground even though you killed your enemy several hour ago. It is such little details that makes Halo so great. The atmosphere is too fantastic good made. The graphic engine providing that themselves the weather gets a influence at yourself and yours associates. F.x. will the smoke from a rocket change if the win blows and tiretracks from tanks and the vehicles will stay all along , unless the rain wash it away. Halo has all action, strategy and fantastic graphic. The mission seems simple however the longer you come into the game several undermissioner upcome. You can choose if you'll finish those undermissioner or if you'll take no notice of them. It is nearly only one thing to tell about this game, buy it when it comes out, you wont regret it."
There may be some spelling mistakes becuase I translated it from danish to english...
I'll try to scan down some pics from the same magazine...
