  • The most recent Digsite release of cut content for Halo MCC includes a lot of cut multiplayer maps that were never released or made it into the final game. Let's take a look at what could've been for Halo 2 multiplayer maps!

    It's so interesting so see how far along some of these maps were and how much thought and effort must've gone into them just to never see the light of day

    Missile Beach actually has a deployable lightbridge in the middle, a very cool 1 sided CTF/Assault concept. It looks like it was meant to be set in a similar location to the campaign mission The Great Journey, would have been awesome to play on it; hopefully an enterprising modder can get it ship-shape for some custom games!

      Looks like a Zanzibar style map. One team starts at the beach and assaults the base. Probably would have been good for 1 flag and 1 bomb. Bungie focused on building a lot of those types of maps during the H2 and H3 days.

  • @hadriscus

    I think the cube on Missile Beach is just the skybox. Games from that generation used fixed skyboxes created from a cubemap rendered to texture from a camera sitting in the middle of it. You can see the same system used in Unreal Engine 2 (UT2k3, 2k3). Later (from Halo3 on) studios started modeling environments directly in the play space since the polygon budget allowed for it.

    8:00 I have been searching for this map for an eternity!
    I could swear I have played this map with a more blood gulch look to it.
    I wallways though it was blood gulch and I was just misremembering things.
    but the layout of the cliffs and caves around the corner is just as I remember it.
    this is so weird!

  • @Th3_L30n
    @Th3_L30n 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    If I remember correctly, according to interviews and blog notes from lead developers for MP, Containment went through several iterations because it was literally too big for the OG Xbox to handle, so they had to scale it down several times, alongside with the other maps for their prototype game mode (the precursor to Halo 5's Warzone mode, in a way) that were too big for the console to handle. Heck, Containment didn't even ship with the base game, it was added with the map pack.

  • @austinobrien2090
    @austinobrien2090 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I wonder how many of these maps were originally developed for the Map Pack that Bungie did later on. Interesting how most MP Bungie developers only talked about cut maps from Halo 2's original development, not a word on any of these maps that I'm aware of, cool none the less.

  • @matthewcranney6576
    @matthewcranney6576 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    My assumption is some of them were cut for time and others were either to test the game and never meant to be released publicly or some of them evolved into other maps. Solitude to me seems like it got trimmed down to Ascension with other aspects of it inspiring what eventually became Lockout.

      @austinobrien2090 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Halo Infinite's campaign borrows a lot from pass Halo games when it comes to Forerunner architecture and play spaces. Infinite has that same room in the beginning of the game, and it even has the Halo 2 gondola ride from Quarantine Zone. Could very well be a coincidence though.

    • @LedZedd
      @LedZedd 10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @austinobrien2090 It did say it was a remake of Regret from Halo 2, even had Hunters and Jackal Snipers who fought both teams- but it's also possible it's just a coincidence and both the Forger and Bungie had the idea of a MP map in that room. Still though, makes you wonder
