26:18 for anyone wondering. Someone actually created a mod for the PC version of Halo Wars 1 that adds the pelicans back as trainable and useable units. They also include working guns.
Here's an interesting drinking game for you guys. Take a shot every time I say the words "final", "alpha", "counterpart", and "retail". I doubt anyone survives.
13:36 I didn't hear what you said there. "notable difference for the spartans in this alpha build, is it features the *??????? ??used* in the final game."
At 39:54 in the middle picture there is an anti-air wrath! It's seen on the far left in gold firing green projectiles. I remember seeing this as a kid but never being able to play with it and thinking it must be some secret and when I searched online no one ever talked about it so I thought I was crazy. lol
there's a way to abuse the non-host lag in halo wars lobbies so that you end up with 3v1, 4v2 or even 5v1 games, hard to describe over text but add me on steam and I'll show it off steamcommunity.com/id/UGoBoom/
Honestly wanted to play the e3 alpha build version from the showcase. the base looked way cooler than what we got. it gave me the feeling that we could make bases like ones from c&c
beta_3v3_arabia is a fascinating glimpse of the old ensemble studios titles, as arabia was a map type particular to Age of Empires 2. Interestingly, Frozen Valley isn't as open as an Arabia map, though it isn't too far off and has similarly limited elevation ranges.
I keep wondering what the purpose of that weird debug number in the lower-right corner. It seems to be a timer, but it increases faster than the real timer in the corner. Other Halo beta videos have timers like this as well, but with how fast those move, I don't know how anyone could make use of these counters.
This is so fucking awesome..look at those animations!Why couldnt they do this in HW2???After all those years..instead we get generic construction in a single base
They didn’t even kill it for that reason. They killed it because it only sold 3 million units, and because they mismanaged the studio and bought the studio a new building that wasn’t being used for a Halo mmo. The building wasn’t being used because they were still waiting for the go ahead to expand the team.

This was fantastic! What a great insight into the early game.
TeamRespawn get out of here you dangos and make some terrible mythbusters where one of you is possessed by a "Kay demon" XD
TeamRespawn greeting and salutations you weird dango
I wish we would have gotten a game that looked like what was shown at e3

The Vengeful 'Vadam I died 1 minute in I want a refund
How abouebsndnsbsbans
The Vengeful 'Vadam Hey, what was the music you used when showing how broken the Grizzly is?
I will respond K to that
13:36 I didn't hear what you said there.
"notable difference for the spartans in this alpha build, is it features the *??????? ??used* in the final game."
The scenes with the Scorpion driving backwards and the other one upside down was one of the funniest things I have ever seen
when the scorpion started driving upside down , did you try to press X to flip it?
Yes.
No.
Maybe?
Interesting that the Kodiak became what the cobra was originally meant to be
I SAW THAT GARRUS YOU PUT UP ON THE CALIBRATIONS MENU! The Calibrations are strong with this one.

Damn I never noticed that
@@thelvadam2884 finally, recognition. Lol
Quality Halo content love to think of what Halo wars may have been to this day!¿ :)
These early builds of Halo games are always super interesting! Thank you so much for going over and showing us this!
I want a beta of your channel
>it's impossible to do a 4v2 or a 5v1 in the final version of the game
oh boy do I have a cool ass glitch to show you or what.

Hmm ?

hahahahahaHAHHAHAAHHAHA
Wow, everything is so Expensive!
some of these aspects are really cool, and i would love to see some of these combined with what we have today
Awesome dude! I really like Halo Wars, really cool to see this stuff. Will def be downloading the unlocked beta thing! You got a sub!
Honestly wanted to play the e3 alpha build version from the showcase. the base looked way cooler than what we got. it gave me the feeling that we could make bases like ones from c&c
the only cut content i miss is the cut units, animations, (and maybe) the free building style
1:19 “Options that would typically be expected from a campaign menu.” Tell that to Infinite
Because whatever you get bored, you go and find Alpha builds
I want Halo wars 3 with ensemble studios and creative assembly working together. And with more then enough time for them to work on it.
Ensembles long gone my friend.
Ensemble Studios kinda died after the release of Halo Wars.
I really enjoy your videos!!!!
Great video! Can't wait for the one on reach!

Vengeful 'Vadam: I'm going to upgrade you.
Cannon Turret: Ight. Imma head out.
29:54
the upgraded turret cannot vibe with this universe
Fantastic video! Well done indeed
The E3 demo looked so much better than the final game

Why does this look better then the Halo Wars we have now?
No
That sprint wouldve been great
Over powered
Krabb ppl kraab ppl look like crab but talk like ppl.. 🦀 🐊
Have we been able to rip 3d models and assets from this halo wars alpha build?
*THUMBNAIL*
VengefulVadam is the father.
Player 2 is the son.
This is so fucking awesome..look at those animations!Why couldnt they do this in HW2???After all those years..instead we get generic construction in a single base
MHelioSkrill Z What do you mean hw2 looks great and I bet the xbox one couldnt handle that animation.
They wanted to make up for the controllers slower movement than with a mouse.
I kinda like the alpha Base design more so than the one we got in the retail version.
"when is a door not a door"
incredible name
I always question myself how the heck u get this Alphas and Betas like was Halo 2 even H3
Its a shame that it didn’t have more time and budget. Halo wars 1 could have been so much more of an amazing game.
It's still an amazing game
Song at 21:16 ?
Much prefer the classic Cyclops look. It seems like some older models where of much higher quality
When is the Halo spv3 overview ? NEED IT
My brother this was amazing if I knew the hierarchs it would get a promotion
OMG HALO REACH BETA YUUUUUSSSSSS
Those place holder map names are references to Age of empires.
How does this look better than Halo Wars 2
those marines sprint like hannah barbara
It gonna lie I quite like the Grizzly design in this build. They look so fucking tanky
Yeah it's way more unique looking compared to the knock-off Mammoth look the final version has.
Funny how the kodiacs are literally the alpha cobra build.
im so so sad there was no theater mode for this game
I just want to know what happened with the graphics
Hey! How did you get this?
Top comment
i wish we could use the pelicans :'(
shh, you missed the e3 scarab :p
Anyone else kinda like the og command center?
4 reactors just to make a cyclops? Lol what were they thinking
Press X to flip Scorpion
Happy halo 3 anniversary
Garrus at 3:50
can you give out these files, I'd live to mod the maps into my mod
Check the pinned comment.
The models of Marines looked far better.
I love you
Still pisses me off that Microsoft killed off Ensemble for this game. It was Microsoft's fault this game didn't hold up
They didn’t even kill it for that reason. They killed it because it only sold 3 million units, and because they mismanaged the studio and bought the studio a new building that wasn’t being used for a Halo mmo. The building wasn’t being used because they were still waiting for the go ahead to expand the team.
Why does Microsoft let the pelican be a troop in halo wars games and let is be a vehicle in halo games I bet everyone would love it
That was a mod
Why this video is in only 360p?
It was still processing. It's in 1080 60 fps now.
The Vengeful 'Vadam lol
