E3 2003 Demo Stuff

Halo Custom Edition's New Mombasa Classic might contain assets from the E3 2003 demo that aren't already in the game.

New Mombasa Classic has mostly bitmaps of some authenticity pre-dating the launch of Halo 2 by about three months. So they're either from the Demo (downgraded for CE's engine) or fairly accurate re-creations of said textures. I can't be 100 percent certain it's from the demo itself but the map's creator ("Mrs ,DBL fire" as listed by this halomaps.org page's description) turned out to be Jason Kieth, a former environment artist at Bungie during 2006-2010. I don't know if he would've had access to any pre-release Halo 2 content but the textures in the Halo map are suspiciously accurate to the Demo.

EDIT: doing more research while I'm writing this, the textures from the Halo CE map might actually be from the Halo 2 July Beta. A beta disc having the date of "07-03-04" and the map's release date being 07-26-04. Have the released beta's ever been datamined? If they have I haven't heard about it.

Dont know if this is suitable for TCRF. This is my first talk here so I don't know if this violates some rule or not. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by NovaDelta (talk • contribs)
