Lost Media – Halo 2’s E3 2003 Introduction Video January 16, 2024

Maniac attended his first E3 in 2003, and it was at the time 3 of the best days of his life where he created memories he will forever cherish. However, a major memory of the event has never been reuploaded in the past 20 years (in its entirety). Most people are aware that Halo 2 showed its first gameplay preview at E3 2003, over a year before the game launched, and drew tremendous crowds. That footage has been archived. However, before the preview officially began, E3’s onsite attendees were presented a brief video preshow, with full professional production value, starring Sgt Johnson. That footage is briefly captured in Halo 2’s official making of documentary, and a few offscreen versions of it have found their way online, but to this day the raw video footage not been archived or re-released in its entirety. Well, Maniac remembers it, and he found a part of it in a very unlikely place. So sit back, and enjoy two frames of something next to nobody has seen in 20 years.

Halo 2 is out now for the Xbox and PC.
