Hey dudes and dudettes: It's been a while for me, and I've been diving into the realm of Bungie and Destiny again after an extended break. I remain a big fan to this day, but I've been recently feeling a bit nostalgic for the pre-Destiny era of Bungie and the community. Thinking back on the old forums, I recalled a really neat post by an old user by the name of [url=http://halo.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx?memberID=5451005]Regulus[/url] who took on the task of collecting and detailing content outlining pre-Xbox Halo. You can read the original thread [url=http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27197879]here[/url] (with a quick reference to when ODST used to be called Halo 3: Recon). This was a really neat time in gaming history, and you can follow/recall the conception and evolution of the essential console FPS. Sadly, none of the old Halo builds are publicly available, so the material we have from the press is our only window into Halo's development up until the release of the first installment. Unfortunately, Regulus' site is no longer up and some of the content is no longer available. Fearing that the same might happen to the rest, I took the liberty of making an archive of Regulus' work, as well saving the forum post in case the old Bnet archive went down. You can grab a copy of Regulus' pre-Xbox Halo thread and all of its associated pictures and videos [url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/oid1fod1plong2z/Pre-Xbox%20Halo.zip?dl=0]here[/url]. I've sorted the content in directories based mainly on publication and added publication dates as well. Hope you get a kick out of this blast from the past. Cheers to Regulus, wherever you may be. Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrvm perinaevm.
