Some from a time where the Halo we know and love was but a twinkle in Bungies eyes.

The project then morphed into a third-person shooter, famously revealed with ademo during Apples 1999 Macworldshow.

And then the game evolved into the first-person shooter we know today.

Most notably, the team have dug up that ancient multi-biome environment from the games Macworld reveal demo.

Some other early models are just plain entertaining.
