AFTER 18 YEARS, THESE HALO 2 LEVELS ARE BEING RELEASED
By JONATHAN LOCHIATTO
While “Halo Infinite” may be doing its best to persuade players to its side by soon kicking off campaign co-op, players seem to remain loyal to “Halo: The Masterchief Collection,” as it sees regular updates. However, something of real substance is on the way: 343 Industries plans to work with modders to bring back the fabled “Earth City” level showcased in E3's 2003 “Halo 2” gameplay debut.
The team is also looking to revive another cut stage from the series and even hopes to bring back lost vehicles and enemies too. In a lengthy Halo Waypoint news post, readers were introduced to Digsite: 343 Industries' secret "Halo" restoration project incorporating community modders who pour over old files, demos, concept art, and discarded builds from the “Halo” past looking for forgotten treasures.
Fans got a glimpse at "Alphamoon," a cut level that took players through craters and caves of a moon. However, the real excitement concerned the rebuilding of “Earth City,” which involves the not-so-easy task of completing a demo map from a game engine that no longer exists. 343 Industries doesn’t know when players will be able to experience the content, but rest assured, it won’t be another 18 years.
