The big news is that on November 9, players on Steam will be able to finally play the highly-anticipated<em> Halo 2<\/em> Earth City demo. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"> \u201cThe response to the demo at E3 [2003] was electric, and nearly every <em>Halo <\/em>fan remembers that demo and where they were when they were first blinded by its majesty,\u201d said <em>Halo <\/em>community director Brian Jarrard. \u201cBest of all, none of us ever would have expected that 20+ years later, a group of passionate community modders would bring this demo to life as a full-fledged mission.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">According to the blog post, many technical issues kept this demo \u201clocked away for many years.\u201d However, thanks to a lot of hard work by many people (<span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/kotaku.com\/halo-2-master-chief-collection-steam-pc-mod-cut-content-1851688832&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/halo-2-master-chief-collection-steam-pc-mod-cut-content-1851688832\">including community modders<\/a><\/span>), the original assets and files for the Earth City demo were recovered. But getting the old content working in newer versions of the <em>Halo <\/em>engine was very tricky. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">The main community member who helped lead the charge for getting the Earth City demo finished and playable in the <em>Master Chief Collection <\/em>was Steven \u201cGeneral_101&#8243; Garcia. According to the post, he was a \u201cone-man army\u201d and helped improve the demo\u2019s art, scripts, and more. Then other modders, including Ludus, Neo Te Aika, Sean T, xScruffyDaSasquatchx, and Killzone, hopped in to finish up the level and make it play like the original E3 demo. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">The remastered <em>Halo 2<\/em> E3 Demo arrives November 9 as a free mod on Steam Workshop for PC players. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/halo-2-e3-level-earth-city-xbox-pc-demo-steam-mod-date-1851689077\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 2003, before Halo 2 launched, Bungie showcased a gameplay demo that featured Master Chief on Earth fighting aliens.
