The lost 2003 E3 demo for Halo 2 is finally being made playable for the public as a free mod for Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Steam. This demo, which was never included in the final release of Halo 2, has achieved legendary status among fans over the past 20 years.
According to the reports, the demo will be released on November 9th, Halo 2's 20th anniversary, after extensive work by the Halo Studios team and community modders to recreate it using updated assets and tools. The demo will allow players to experience the original E3 showcase, which offered an early look at the game's campaign and innovative gameplay mechanics like the ability to hijack enemy vehicles.
In addition to the Halo 2 demo mod, Halo Infinite is also getting a new update on November 5th that will add several classic Halo 2 multiplayer maps to the game's Delta Arena playlist. This includes fan-favorite maps like Ascension, Lockout, and Midship.
Overall, this appears to be an exciting way for Halo fans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the franchise's most iconic entries. The restoration of the lost E3 demo in particular will allow players to finally experience a piece of Halo history that has been unavailable for over two decades.
