"It would have ROCKED!": Today I learned a Halo dev prototyped an Alien crossover — here's what it looked like

Halo 3.

Have you ever wanted to see Master Chief fight a Xenomorph? Being the gigantic Halo fan that I am, it's something I've thought about ever since I saw the original Alien film, and I'd wager it's a showdown plenty of other science fiction lovers would enjoy viewing, too. Of course, the chances of that actually happening in any official material are pretty slim, but today, I learned that at one point, it may have been surprisingly close to being made reality.

That's because I've come across concepts and screenshots from Eric Arroyo — a lead 2D/3D character and vehicle artist who worked at Bungie on 2001's Halo: Combat Evolved, 2004's Halo 2, and 2007's Halo 3 — that show a mock-up Alien crossover he created while working on the final game in the series' trilogy. You can view these images on his ArtStation profile here or below; the crossover stills are at the bottom of the post.
