      i think guardian forrest is the thing that hurts most to loose. Having the cheif using forrunner tech to beat the covenant fleet on the ark would have explained why they were able to beat the Brutes. The tiny size of the Covenant Fleet is always something that bugs me in HALO 3. That and how the Flood don't try to infect the entire galaxy and earth but go straight to the Ark.

Humans were forerunners in the original Bungie plans. I got a like from said designer, implying that they agreed with me.
    I can't wait for your video regarding Bungie's original plan regarding your forerunners. There was a clear indecision/difference of opinion regarding what to do with the forerunners within Bungie at the time. Too many people say "the forerunners being a different species was clearly the original intent", but in a world where contact harvest exists, written by the lead story writer of the original trilogy, we know that the decision was never cut and dry.

    I remember an old Bungie guy said they cut the Forerunner City because “we didn’t want to humanize the Forerunners” I’d say the Terminals did that on its own, but I digress. This bandage has been torn off now. You know what this means? If the Leak saying 343 (which has fully new Staff) is remaking Halo 1 to 3, they can finally Add this Cut Forerunner City and the other Cut levels! The Books have made Forerunner Living Spaces sound amazing: Rooms that are Larger on the Inside, Doors that Teleport you to Rooms with no doors, Programmable Metal allowing for full customization.
    Warden Eternal reveals that Forerunner Ancillas basically see Master Chief and the Spartan 2’s as being the Equivalent to Warrior-Servants. As Warden Eternal refers to Chief as a “Warrior-Servant” while he refers to Agent Locke as merely a “Spartan”
    Knowing this, when Chief walks into a Forerunner Loving Space, it could “come to life” and Consoles, Furniture and maybe AIs could just appear out of thin air, and disappear when he leaves!

    The reasoning for scrapping the Forerunner City level, to keep the mystery of the Forerunners, is yet another example of how well Bungie understood Halo and 343 just didn't. Shoving a ton of Forerunner and Promethean lore into our faces in Halo 4 and 5 took away so much of the mystery and legendary status that Bungie built around the Halo universe's past.
    And 343 still haven't learned, because now they've added yet more mythical universe history lore through the Harbringer and then immediately blew their load by showing us its design and powers...and then promptly letting us kill it. Jesus.

    Wow, besides the cut guardian level, I had no clue this was Bungie’s original plan/idea for the game.

And THIS lines up with the grand scale/“epicness” they would describe. This is much more accurate to what I envisioned/anticipated.
    I remember on their weekly update postings they’d put out every Friday, they mentioned how most of the earth levels were directly connected and how vast and expansive the game/levels were going to be along with having a drastic increase in the shear size of some of the battles compared to the previous games.

    The things i'd do to be able to live those moments again... It had been like 3 years and Halo 2 ended with the biggest cliffhanger/plot twist in gaming history, then Halo 3 came out and i was 13 and having the time of my life finally playing "the final chapter" 7 years after i first played Halo CE.
    What the hell happened to the world after like 2010 that suddenly made everything "uninteresting"? Is it social media? Is it just what happens when you grow up? I just miss the Halo 3 days.

      i for one am a buzzkill and say i totally understand bungie. even now when i played sierra-storm i was all time thinking "soooo... when does the story start?" you spend half of the game doing really mundane enemy elimination. having more of that with the same lousy prophet speeches and so on wouldnt have helped at all. the latter part of the game however is really rushed and i dont think the things in this version would have helped at all. you see flood on earth for 1 level and then during just 2 levels in space you resolve the coventant alliance and truth story, 2 more and flood is finished too. dont even get me started on how the sinister mastermind Truth from halo2 now has absolutely no game and dies like a wimp, or how little gravemind does to stop you despite having all the flood at his disposal and knowing where you are in high charity and halo.
      the end part of this would probably have helped the game though. more setup, truth with powerful moment, more sensible change from ark to cortana and some more.
      compared to halo 1 and 2 its just weak. every level in halo 1 is important for the plot and lore, and 2 is downright epic with the coventant feud
      so i dont think adding these to a remaster would be anything but "oh, cool extra content, i guess"

  • @DasSpasticTreeFrog
    @DasSpasticTreeFrog 5 месяцев назад +2

    Glad you've flushed these levels out. For the past several years I've been sketching ideas for my hypothetical Halo game. Mine would follow a team of Spartan IIIs like noble team after H3 but, before H4 in the outskirts of UNSC space. The game would open with my Spartans, "Gallant Team".Who would be inspecting the ONI listening site, Ellipsis Station just above the world of Periphery IV. While abourd Ellipsis Station they are informed by the stations crew that they went radio silent when ONI probes detected Covenant ships passing in the vicinity once an ancient foreign object was recovered and accidentally triggered by ONIs agents. Soon after this revelation a Covenant fleet appears in space above the planet and are engaged by UNSC forces. While engaging the "Covenant" forces onboard the station you start to realize theses "Covenant have seemingly never encountered humans before!? While enacting Cole Protocol on Ellipsis Station and the grounside site, Tycho Station, you learn they are the "Ascendent". A sect of the Covenant that have been forcefully expelled by the Covenant for blasphemy against the High Council. Later the player discovers through playing as an Ascended Elite known as "Thovu the Faithful" that the leaders of the Ascendent known as the "Sublime" hate the Forerunners and believe them to be the enemies of the ones the Sublime worship. There's more but, suffice it to say learning about these cut levels a couple of years ago inspired me to work elements of these levels into my game concept. Now I just have to get into programming and modding. 😂

  • @godzillaguy47
    @godzillaguy47 5 месяцев назад +2

    I feel like the cut earth levels were warranted since I never thought the levels on earth (besides the storm) were nearly as interesting as the once’s on the Ark. Also I would have kept Guardian Forest and Forerunner city except they would be combined or they would both take place between The Ark and The Covenant. Stretching out the city section would completely destroy the pacing of the Covenant’s final section because Truth is about to fire the Rings so there is no time to explore the city. I would keep High Charity how it was.
