A HALO CUT CONTENT THREAD FOR 343!

Imagine cut content packaged up with Mod Tools like a massive repository of RAW unfinished/finished pre-release/cut content.

If we as the community ask, we MIGHT get it! Just imagine Halo 4 Tag Build ported to MCC for modders!

Halo has had a LONG History, and during that time a Helluva lot was cut from every Halo title.

I'm proposing to the Halo Community that we collectively ask 343i to PROVIDE MODDERS with a HUGE REPOSITORY OF CUT CONTENT ALONGSIDE FUTURE MOD TOOLS!

A perfect example of content that could be ported over or be provided to Modders would be the Halo 4 Tag Builds.

Each Tag Build contains Tags cut from Halo 4 and Old Tags from Reach. Invaluable to Modders since these can be implemented into Fan made Mods.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, MODDERS WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE A HUGE RESERVOIR AND COLLECTION OF RAW CUT CONTENT FOR HALO MCC.

Please like and share! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO SHARE THIS!

(I ran out of Cut content pics, so excuse the HW1 cut content)

From this Tweet onward, I am going to continuously add MORE CUT CONTENT IMAGES to this Thread to help promote what you're missing out on.

ALSO I WILL INCLUDE HALO WARS CONTENT AS IT'S ALL HALO. H5 INCLUDED.

It's important to remember that a lot of these sketches DO HAVE ASSOCIATED TEXTURES, MODELS, ETC. IN THE HALO ARCHIVES.

So the next time you see a Sketch of Cut Halo content, remember that it could definitely have been created at some point.

Obviously it'd be unrealistic to expect 343i to include EVERY PIECE OF CUT HALO MEDIA, but it is NOT UNREALISTIC to ask for as much as they're willing to budge on!

Duplicate images may occur here and there, will try to keep it clean and keep it fresh as you checkout all the cut and pre-release material.

Halo 3 draft of how the story would play out along with an Early Halo 2 version of Blood Gulch within the OLD Pstencil engine.
Note: The early Halo 2 SMG has a transparent Magazine!

Halo 2's original ending BSP:

We had this great third act wrap-up of Master Chief and the Arbiter coming together and defeating the Prophets and discovering The Ark, and this deeper secret inside of it. But it was so above what we could possibly do from a production point of-

-view that it fell apart. There was meant to be a mission where you were fighting on top of The Ark, like it was uncovered like it is in Halo 3. So you’re fighting multiple Scarabs, going through a trench run to make your way into it.

We had it all modeled out, we had it all massed out, this big structure with Scarabs sitting on top of it. — Joe Staten

The entire level was modeled out and thus should exist within Microsoft and 343i's Archives... Hopefully.

A reminder that what you just watched (hopefully) is a presentation of aspects of Halo that were cut from the game. This means anything you see could be given to Modders to be reimplemented by the Fans, for the Fans.

The Tags or raw file formats would be ideal.
