Subject: What content do you think was cut with Halo 2?

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

If you remember the "O Brave New World" ViDoc, Bungie said that they had to cut 1/3 of the ending off of Halo 2. What do you think it was? I think its possible that there was going to be a return to the Cairo Station (Remember that it was somewhat damaged at the end cutscene), and possibly a return to the area where Outskirts/Metropolis was because people had expected return areas from Halo: Combat Evolved. I think its also possible Bungie was going for the even bigger "Screw You" to the fans by ending Halo 2 at the ships going through the portal.

I'd like to see some other thoughts on what would have happened.

The Juggernaut wasn't really "cut". The models were finished and added to the game, they just aren't in any levels, same with Halo: Combat Evolve's Engineer.

I'd like to mod the juggers out, (put in spawn points for 'em) and see what it's like to fight them.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

From what has been gathered over the years from the team, although paraphrasing, the dramatically cut material was going to contain some story elements from Halo 3's single player.

Halo Nation has a good resource of what we have heard, but who knows? I'd reckon one of the largest parts of developing a game is removing a ton of cool stuff and making colleagues cry.

Long live Forerunner Tank.

Lucky bastards. Halo 2 Vista has the worst modding programs but Halo 2 Xbox modding is way better.

I think some of it was unfinished animation being completed and some of it was stuff he added.

Well I don't know much about modding Halo 2 on Xbox either but I know that you can do more with it because Halo 2 Vista just has 2 easy-moderate modding programs: Gravemind and Mr. Mohawk.

Gravemind is unfinished and Mr. Mohawk is just a meta swapper (safe one unlike HMT because you can revert changes). There's no Eschaton equivalent.

There's advanced modding programs (seen in this list) but I think they require Custom Edition knowledge.

@Grumpy1 Alas, it's a shame that it's only for Xbox. That thing would have made my life hell lot easier.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Wow, The Flood Juggernaut is probably the most epic thing that never happened.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Theater mode, mongoose, flamethrower type weapon, different weapon sounds and hud.

See my H2 Beta thread.

Whatever works for ya.

The Mongoose... I think, they mentioned it in the DVD that came with my Limited Edition...

  • 10.20.2011 10:25 PM PDT

So far of what I know that was cut:

- The Spiker was going to be in Halo 2, but was replaced by the Brute Plasma Rifle due to time constraints

- The Mongoose was originally going to be in Halo 2 as well, I forgot why it was cut

- The Flood Juggernaut was also cut

- The Forerunner Tank? Cut from the game

This is all I know, but there is many more.
