Before [[Xbox]], and before the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', there was a game that was originally announced for the [[Wikipedia:Macintosh|Mac]] and the [[Wikipedia:Personal Computer|PC]] as a 3rd-person shooter, simply referred to as '''Halo'''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RfXCY8UMYk '''Youtube''': ''Bungie PAX Panel 2009'']</ref> The game development time was from around 1998 to the release of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', originating as a [[Wikipedia:Myth (series)|Myth-style]] strategy game before turning into a third person shooter, and finally being retooled as a straight-up FPS for the Xbox console. As the game evolved, several vehicles and weapons were cut and others had complete overhauls. Below are some examples of lost or heavily modified gameplay items.
