The iconic Earth-based level seen back in 2003 will be available as a mod on Steam

Back in 2003, before Halo 2 launched, Bungie showcased a gameplay demo that featured Master Chief on Earth fighting aliens. This level, known online as Earth City, didn’t ship with the retail game in 2004, as it was a highly scripted demo created for E3. But now, 20 years later, you’ll soon be able to play this iconic piece of Halo history. In 2018, 343 Industries streamed the Earth City demo, and fans started to wonder if it would ever be released as an official DLC or mod.

“The response to the demo at E3 was electric, and nearly every Halo fan remembers that demo and where they were when they were first blinded by its majesty,” said Halo community director Brian Jarrard. “Best of all, none of us ever would have expected that 20+ years later, a group of passionate community modders would bring this demo to life as a full-fledged mission.” According to the blog post, many technical issues kept this demo “locked away for many years.
