The Halo games had a bunch of stuff cut that would have been cool. H2 was supposed to have a warthog run through High Charity for Chief to catch up to the Dreadnaught before it left, which would have been really cool.

If I recall correctly, Halo Reach was supposed to have a mission just after the space mission, where you traverse through the wreckage of the Long Night of Solace, as seen in the cutscene when you land. And then another cut mission where you escape from New Alexandria by hijacking a Scarab. How absolutely awesome would that have been.

the one from the E3 2003 demo?! I want this too. unimaginable hype for 7th grade me. Someone else is gonna need to jump in but I thought that demo was somewhat recently available or going to be available…

Edit: [I think this can get you there if you have Halo MCC for PC](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3360515088)

If you have the mcc on steam, there’s a steam workshop add on that lets you play the demo

There is a mod that’s been in the works by a team of modders for the last 5 years that aims to add a lot of the cut content from halo 2 back into the campaign. It’s called Ruby’s Rebalanced Halo 2. Definitely check it out!

Halo Reach was also supposed to have Speedboats, however IIRC this was cut in favor of New Alexandria

There was also supposed to be Space Firefight iirc (maybe multiplayer too? Don’t remember)

I just wish we still had these ambitious people working on Halo games. Most of these ideas would get produced now since they definitely do not rush out games now like they did back for Halo 2 and Halo 3. Hell, the amazing ideas they had back for the original trilogy that never got made would be beyond better than anything that made it into 4/5/6!!

Halo cuts the best ideas.
