mill give mine to whoever tell me something interesting about Halo

Halo: CE started life as a Mac-exclusive Halo-wars sort of RTS shooter that was meant to tie back into Bungie's older series, Marathon. Microsoft bought the rights and they originally wrote the game as a one-off with no planned sequels until Microsoft forced them to do Halo 2/3.

This is also why some of the things in Halo 2 like the Brutes feel tacked on and are pretty overpowered - because they are/were. They got added when the team slammed a story together to meet the Christmas 2004 deadline and they didn't really have time to test or refine anything. They didn't even have a working build a year into making it and the ending was slapped on too.

Alright, three copies of reach then. I'll leave it till tomorrow in the afternoon. Then I'll put everyone's name into a random generator for the whole collection first.

Then I'll add everyone bar the last win for the reach games, rinse and repeat until we have our winners.

Oh, the E3 2003 Halo 2 presentation? It was made on an engine that the Xbox literally couldn't run and just to get the demo to work they had to axe everything that is out of view. They came back from E3 and had to scrap that entire build and pretty much make the game again on a brand new engine in the next year and a half to meet the release deadline.

Literally a year before launch the team had no engine, environments that couldn't possibly work in any engine, features that were only half-implemented, a story that would eventually require Halo 3 to finish and a multiplayer mode that would have to be scrapped.

Halo 2's development was so fucked lmao

the Arbiter was originally called the Darvesh, after spiritual guides in Islamic faiths that choose to live in an impoverished life without any material goods in an effort to reach God through humility over illusions of ego, learning the values of loving and serving others rather than of the self
the name was to parallel Vademee's nature after being branded with the Mark of Shame and named Darvesh, losing any and all honour, respect and ego and consistently putting himself far below all of those he fought beside, placing his life on the line several times so the others wouldn't have to
Microsoft chose to have the name changed due to a perceived parallel to the US vs Islam, especially due to it being the early days of the War on Terror
