The first time I saw Halo up close and personal was a couple years back at E3 when Octane and I happened upon Bungie's booth. Their black curtain mini-movie theatre was showing the game off on a Pentium2 powered 300Mhz PC equipped with TNT2 video card. I was impressed then, and so was everyone else. Looking back, the demo they showed off wasn't too impressive by today's standards, but at the time it was generations ahead of anything else on the market. That year (and many others) Halo walked away with many best of E3 awards -- at least until Microsoft bought Bungie and announced that Halo would premier on the Xbox instead of PC.
