The “wider Halo community” helped restore its original files and assets, while a team of community moderators developed the tools needed to recreate the demo and improve upon the original.
“Steven Garcia (known to the public as General_101) was vital to making this script stand up and even better than the original. He was a one-man army and did a significant amount of work on developing tools, updating scripts and even Digsite team members Ludus, Neo Te Aika, Sean T, xScruffyDaSasquatchx, and Killzone then provided the final touches to replicate the original demo experience and bug-check the assets, and that’s it,” said Halo Senior Franchise Writer Kenneth Peters.
