Am I the ONLY person who really really really wants to know what was exactly cut from the Halo 2 story? The only thing I have found is the flood Juggernaut. Anyone find or know anything about it? A whole 1/3 was cut from the game.

actually I've never seen where someone put all that information in one thread or post. I would like to see all that was cut on one page.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

If you bought all the Legendary edition of Halo 3, it came with a commentary DVD of Halo CE's and 2's cinematics. During which they discussed the game itself.

In Halo 2, I know they cut many ideas, some of which were plausible and some of which were not. ODSTs arch welding a nuke to his back, and forcing him into the Gravemind's hole.

Keyes selling Chief to the Prophets to avenge her father.

Another scrapped level was called Covenant Tank. It was supposed to happen directly after Cairo Station where you boarded Regret's carrier and took him hostage. Or at least something along those lines.

I advice you look for a video copy of this commentary. If you loved the 20th Anniversary video, you'll love this.

BAM! Said the lady ;3

Well another thing we know that was cut was that the ending was to take place on earth. Entirely wiping out Halo 3's intro

I have. (Well, most of it at least.) Here you will find an abundance of cut, unfinished, or deleted material that is rather intriguing. Granted, this page is not solely meant for Halo 2, however it is included.

I really wish that the three missions they were already almost done with were left in, as well as the Drinol. (Although that would probably feel too much like Marathon's Hulk, would it not?)

Maybe a halo book that takes place in the cut story?

Ha ha, fanfiction with the cut-out levels and deleted scenes. Sounds good.

What if 343 remade everything about Halo 2, and finished the story that Bungie cut from it?

True but we're just supposing, lol. Besides, the newer technology might take care of any technical problems and a rewrite of the funky ideas could maybe work.

Me too, I was only referring to the ability to now play the levels the way they were. Idk, I heard at one time they had to cut back partly because of the game overloading.

They cut stuff because they were on a deadline, if you watched the ViDoc you would known that.

I you look at their new video you can see why they cut so much, with time pressure... etc
