Sounds like he's been underutilized then.

Whatever could you mean!?! He's helped bring us *checks notes* ummmm, some Crackdown sequel that nobody cared about?

On Joe, it seems like some of the current developments over on the Bungie side of things in Destiny 2 are also cycling around to some of his old story ideas for the first game that wound up getting scrapped before he left the company, so that is really neat as well.

In hushed whispers throughout the ranks of the Banished, Jega ‘Rdomnai’s name is spoken of with care. The blademaster’s history is shrouded in rumor and half-truths. Some say he was an experiment, an affront to his own kind. Others make mention of a clandestine ambush gone wrong. Very few know the truth, fewer still speak of it. One thing is certain: he has hunted demons before, and as the first recruit welcomed into the Hand of Atriox, he will do so again.

A mysterious and battle-ravaged Sangheili warrior, Jega represents one of several new characters that you will encounter along your way through the Halo Infinite campaign, with each confrontation playing its own part in Chief’s continuing journey.

While today’s introduction is just a quick glimpse, we hope it leaves you eager to learn more. Trust me, we can’t wait for you to have the opportunity to explore more for yourself.

I like the new Elite armour there. Looks cool!

So I've jumped back onto the Xbox to continue my replay of the series and I've been enjoying it a lot. Finished 3 at the weekend. I'm disappointed we didn't get a remaster but it still holds up so well. Plays really well and looks pretty good still - it's only really some of the facial close-ups that look aged.

Isnt' it funny how graphics considered cutting edge during their time get so easily overshadowed just a few games later?

Speaking of graphics:

I wish there was something 343i could do about that... :/

I'm glad I still have my original XBox copy of Combat Evolved, at least.

I wouldn't be shocked if they knew for a while that this was coming, and that's why Staten was brought in. I wonder what's going on behind the scenes with this game. It sounds even messier than Halo 2's development, somehow.

[Master Chief]

I'm sure that's what happened.  *Insert everything is fine meme here.*

The 1st Halo was the best one. I played it as a kid and remember the Flood giving me the creeps.

Storyboard artist Lee Wilson has revealed his work for Halo 2. It features quite a bit of cut content as well. It is very interesting to say the least.
