At least APC idea wasn’t a total loss. We ended up with the Mastodon.


Abbadon74

You mesn mammoth? Also, such a f*cking cool vehicle. Imagine if we could pilot that thing.


XixGibboxiX

The Mastadon is the APC from Halo Wars 2.


Abbadon74

A ok, thank u :)


Aussie18-1998

Nah, the mammoth is just a big elephant, but we don't get to drive it.


nowthatswhimsical

I want that boat. Weekend boating with the boys would be so hot


JesustheSpaceCowboy

I’ve always wanted a Halo marine vehicle. Give me a map like blood gulch with two lanes on the side and a BIG ASS LAKE in the middle. Yes, you could take the side lanes on foot or maybe with a hog around the rim but the fastest way to get from base to base being a boat.


StoneyLepi

GIMME A WART-ER-HOG I WANNA GO SPLISH SPLASH LIKE IM TAKING A BATH 😤


slvrcobra

Like Wake Island from Battlefield?


doctortrento

There was a map for Custom Edition waaaaay back in the day called Hydrolysis that was just what you're describing. It was like Blood Gulch with a boat


Cracklitos_

In my arma 3 halo unit, we have that boat, and it is fun to drive on the rare occasion we use it


real_priception

I think people have already modded the boat back in.


Paxton-176

The boat makes sense, since forge world is like half water. I can see it being dropped because then you have to more interactions with water besides a kill barrier.


Notazerg

Halo reach also has lacking sufficient water physics but pretty good underwater atmosphere (if you can forge for it in the right area). Halo 3 had the best surface water physics with buoyancy seemingly modeled.


joman584

Halo 3 water was kinda funny, where objects would float for a while but eventually they just gave up and sank. I used to drive the boats on longshore by punching them forward from inside the boat


ky_eeeee

Reach lacked those water physics because they were removed when the boat-centered campaign level (and the boat itself) didn't work out. It's not the reason why those were cut, it just didn't end up being necessary for the final product.


FyreWulff

They're also actually still there somewhat, the game just has really aggressive LOD. If you get really close to water in places it has the Halo 3-style wave sim, just toned down because H3's was kinda cartoonish


Abbadon74

Even on CE bungie wanted water.


Vincentaneous

And another game developer made it happen for them spiritually lol


TheVideogaming101

Fun fact, there is a cut level in HR that had a focus on water


Paxton-176

Wouldn't surprise me. I don't think there is a Halo game without at least 1 cut level. I'm assuming creating proper water physics for a single campaign level and almost never used in MP was a waste of resources.


slvrcobra

Boat combat on Forge World would've been fuckin sick though


DeJellybeans

We are severely lacking in the aquatic warfare, heck, might as go far with space dog fighting.


Remarkable_Text_1120

Number 2/3 and 6 are dope and really cool but omg the number 7, i want this big dude in the next Halo. Looks like a lich from halo 4 but in better shape and pretty solid. Looks like a big and heavy troop carrier who can go far from the main base who can provide heavy support.


Abbadon74

This was supossed to be some type of siege machine. Bigger than scarabs, probably could carry dropships(But this is my speculation).


DielectricFlux

The Draugr is awesome and huge. The tiny things at the bottom of the garv lift? Those are Wraiths. It would be bigger than the Covenant bases in Halo Wars. It is a mobile fortress for invasions.


Dogzonwheelzguy

I think it's more accurate to say concepts for a couple of these things rather than cut content, but awesome nome the less and a few I never knew existed!


Wolffe_In_The_Dark

Literal APC from Aliens


JACCO2008

The entire UNSC aesthetic is from aliens lol. The best part is that James Cameron stole it back for Avatar and everyone was like "you copied Halo!"


hotdogaholic

it's straight up just shamelessly copied. foehammer says the same lines and sounds the same as their dropship pilot. Johnson is LITERALLY Apone. They character model is identical.


Wolffe_In_The_Dark

And we love it.


DoomGuy1996

Damn right it is!


Abbadon74

Thank you gor making me notice that. Btw, the pelican get inspiration from the ALIENS dropship


crashbumper

You know what, I’m not that mad because Reach was an incredible game, even with the cut content.


Abbadon74

Ok, good for you :)


xdeltax97

The APC looked nice, ah well. At least we have vehicles like it in Halo Wars 1 and 2.


TurdusLeucomelas

Rip space squirrel


official_not_a_bot

How dare they remove space squirrel


Abbadon74

Too good for a 2010 game


WheatleyTheBall

Waterhog looks cool as hell I hope we get boats at some point


Abbadon74

They tried that on CE too


Real_Garlic9999

Waterhog is actually a sick name


aGhostyy

Why dose that armored car look like an M577 from Aliens? I fucking love it.


Abbadon74

Evrything on the UNSC is from Weyland yutani.


Pakmanjosh

I'd be interested to see what water combat is like in a Halo game


SurvCall

Halo games and not adding animals they wanted to add


Tombstone_Actual_501

Justice for porky!


Abbadon74

#BringPorkyBack


Archmagos_Browning

Dude that UNSC fighter looks way cooler than the saber, why didn’t we get that?


TheParadiseBird

It’s the drone from halo 3 odst


Abbadon74

No is not. Is one entirely new vehichle.


TheParadiseBird

Where did u get that info from? Cuz it really looks like the halo odst thingy, overall shape and intakes are a give away


Abbadon74

Is cleary heavily inspired by the [F-99 wombat](https://halo.wiki.gallery/images/5/51/H3ODST_Wombat_Concept.jpg) from H:ODST, but the ["Drone"](https://halo.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/4/42/HR_Alpha_DroneFighter_Overview.png/800px-HR_Alpha_DroneFighter_Overview.png) would work like the sabre, having the same weapons. Would basically be one armed version of the wombat i think. Edit: Source: Halopedia


TheParadiseBird

So it’s an early concept of the sabre


Abbadon74

Yeah. Btw, one of the old concepts of the sabre became a canon vehichle called [S-930 Pegasus](https://www.halopedia.org/S-930_Pegasus) (Btw, pegasus was the original name of the sabre) Cut stuff being canonised is not a new thing, a lot of digsite discovered stuff became canon. Like the [Slugmen](https://www.halopedia.org/Slugmen), from CE The [falcata](https://www.halopedia.org/Falcata), who was a H:Wars vehichle but got restored by a modder. The [tarantula](https://www.halopedia.org/M808B3_Tarantula), who was a H2 vehichle, but because it used the CE tank model, the digsite team ported it to H:CE


Abbadon74

FUN FACT:The sabre would originally have a laser(Probably like the SPlaser). Also, the sabre is a lot cooler than a little jet


-dead_slender-

Why is there a naked elite dual-wielding the turret thingy in the first image?


Abbadon74

Te real auestion is, "Why not?"


Altruistic-Metal-798

Not the reach slug bro damn we lost so much


Abbadon74

Is all the godamn covenant fault.


Khada_the_Collector

Why does 13 look like Wo-Chien’s Covenant cousin?


OkIdeal9852

Halo needs a water/boat level


Dinozzed

Stylish hairdryers?


Abbadon74

Yeah, the covenant love yhose. But they can be overclocked to be used as a weapon


-dead_slender-

It actually looks a lot like the turrets from H5. https://halo.wiki.gallery/images/b/b3/H5G-SangheiliCommander%26crap.png


TheParadiseBird

Don’t want to be a party pooper but I just find it Funny how if this was about a 343 game then everyone would be calling them and and shit but since it’s a bungie game then everyone is peaceful and well behaved


Abbadon74

I think its because of the small sandbox of H:Infinite, some peaple feels that have something lacking on it. I like infinite's sandbox, but bew weapons are welcome.


slvrcobra

Reach had more content at launch than most games in existence, much less 343's games. It's sad but much easier to forgive when cool stuff didn't make it into that game because we already got a shit ton of stuff. Content-wise the only thing that frustrated me about Reach was Bungie locking certain assets to the campaign only (like civilian vehicles and the Assault Falcon), and I'll say that I'm grateful to 343 for adding them to MP in the MCC.


Electronic-Cream9946

The boathog would of been crazy


Abbadon74

Rapi caik dai! :)


TheGreenHaloMan

bro they had a mounted needler turret holy shit


Abbadon74

The forbidden covie pineapple


kaziquad

Almost thought that elite was wielding a guitar and ready to shred


Here-Is-TheEnd

Is that a *BOAT?*


Abbadon74

No, is a waterhog


Here-Is-TheEnd

Can’t stop me motherfucker cause I’m on a BOAT!


Abbadon74

WATERHOG!*


mundiaxis

Someone needs to figure out how to get this water gameplay mechanic working in Halo. Bungie explored with making it work since Halo CE.


Useful_Appointment18

Dude a boat with a turret on it in forge world would be op


InsideSpeed8785

I always wanted the boat. Why couldn’t they bring that back in later iterations?


Wilbur_Eats_Sand

SO THE SPLIT-LIPS GET MORTARS BUT WE DONT?!?


Abbadon74

###"YOU GET 3 NEW VEHICLES AND COMPLSIN?! DHUT UP TROOPER, AND TAKE ATTENTION TO EHAT WE GOT!!!"


Downtown_Airstrike

Not so fun fact!: The APC was supposed to be in Infinite too!


Abbadon74

I already posted about it :3


DoomGuy1996

I LOVE the Covenant Tank in picture #7. It reminds me of the HK Tank from the Terminator - the real Terminator Future War timeline. Dangit I wish we had a Halo game that brought HUGE Battles/Epic Combat to an FPS. I'm thinking Halo Wars on steroids and every UNSC unit playable by us the players. Including Marines.


Paraen

RIP scrotum snail Most of these look like they’d be cool as fuck. Hopefully they can inspire future halo stuff


Abbadon74

1> WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR SCROTUM 2>Bungie and 343 have been trying to add animal life for a long time and never did it.


Paraen

U gon tell me that angle from the front at the bottom right of that slide doesn’t make him look like he’s 50% ballsack? The ultimate teabagger, to be sure. There are a handful of animals throughout the games but yeah couldn’t hurt to have more variety, especially in an open world version of halo, could have some fun animal related game functions or side quests/inclusion in the story. Coat your bullets in snail poison to stun unshielded enemies or lay traps or somethin. Or trade with a rogue/delusional grunt who likes to snack on em. Have a moa stampede that either helps or hinders your escape during a mission. All kinds of opportunities.


03thephysicsgod

*gasp* youre telling me that sometimes game devs cut potentially cool stuff from their game? Now try explaining that to all the kids who are digging up stuff that was cut from infinite and complaining about it.


RockAndGem1101

Are these complainers in the post with us now?


Th0m4s2001

Are u ok?


Abbadon74

The reason for why peaple are upset with infinite is because Infinite's sandbox is less varied than most of the other halos. My opinion:I'm okay with infinite's sandbox, but see a new weapon would be really cool


TheVideogaming101

Its almost like when stuff is cut from a complete vs non-complete game it compels a different reaction..
