A TRUE fan of Bungie would know this.
There was a Halo before Halo: Combat Evolved.
(Skip to last paragraph if you don't care about the rest.)
A long time ago there once was me and a game. Well really it was mostly recently and it wasn't really ONLY me and a game...but you get the point. I told my friends that there must have been a Halo before Halo. They thought I was mad...
My reasoning? Why would they add a subtitle to a game that was just introduced? Then it hit me...what if Halo was around before the Xbox? That is how I discovered this years ago. The ORIGINAL Halo on Mac and PC in a third person perspective.
I know people probably already knew about this but I thought I'd share it with the people who do not. The game changed drastically from it's original days; from RTS, to Third-person Shooter to what it is today. Please leave all comments about how stupid I am out of this thread and realize I am 18 and only knew about Bungie from the original Combat Evolved. Did you know about this before I told you? Comment below.
*I will be posting this in #Destiny and #OffTopic for sake of spreading the word of Bungie.

That chanting you hear nicely signals the beginning of Halo and, once MS buys it, the end of Mac gaming :-)

2 RepliesIf you are a true Bungie fan you'd know that Halo is a rip off story from the book RingWorld.

If you didn't already know this, you don't deserve to live.

3 RepliesThey added the subtitle "Combat Evolved" because they didn't want people to think that it was a religious game. There was a video of a few Bungie employees and Marty playing and commentating through the whole trilogy. They explained the subtitle while playing Halo: CE.

Halo CE was Marathon 4 in a sense.

Yup. Bungie Documentary and/or ViDocs.

I was well aware that there was quite a few concepts they had before committing to the fps genre.

1 ReplyWho has the right to dictate whether a person is a "true fan" or not? So long as you love something, that's all there is to it. "True fans" can kiss my delicate porcelain ass.

I always wondered what it would be like playing halo like that, but I don't think halo wars truly gets the feel that it would have.
-
Yeah I knew this but I had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder!

4 RepliesWasn't Halo supposed to be a strategy game, then someone turned it into a FPS? Something like that.
