So I recently stumbled upon these images while going through my old halo folders, so I decided to put them online for anybody who didn't see them when Halo 2 was going through the same stage as Halo 3 is at the moment (Screen shot leaks etc :p) They're a good way of seeing the progression of the HUD for example.

P.S I have a bunch of Halo 1 shots too which ill put up later & if anybody has anymore shots please get in touch with me, i'd love to see them :)

The Gallery

Nice screenshots :P i remember some of those with the "FR" simbol, it was taken by french guys from a halo site who played the beta some months before the game comes out, and you can see the reflection of guy taking some shots xD wich means that bungie/microsoft allow "leaks" in fact it's just a new way of marketing i guess...

Did you spoted that screenshot on lockout?here:

you see there's the ping, loss and more informations about connection status, we should check to see if it's still there in halo 2, for XBC players :P

The picture of the sentinels shows how good a lighting system halo2 had/still has, I don't know why they didn't use it more...A few flickering lights with shadow rendering throughout the whole game and cutscenes? Pffft? Could have been used so much more...In all my experiments with it, it doesn't even lag the game...Just wait for TBZ's mod to prove that further >_<

i remember the halo 2 beta test it had emblems that never made it to retail like the "legendary" emblem and the "Xbox" emblems were SWEET
as well as the Checkered backround for your emblem design,

Also the Main menu and ui/hud were ALOT better in design then retail aswell

They should have kept the Arbiter in multiplayer instead of the huge moving targets they call MP elites.

There's only one Arbiter. There are multiple Spartans.
