Note: The Transport Warthog was originally designed and modeled for early Halo 2 development. It was back ported and touched up for CE because it uses the CE Warthog as a base. In a future Digsite release, we may see two new Scorpion variants added to CE that were also conceptualized for Halo 2, as well as an early model for the AA Wraith.

The game has had unused boat physics the entire time, this is likely the first time they’ve been used since they were cut and I can’t imagine the programmer behind them is too happy about Bungie or modders ignoring them until now lol.

The custom map crash site comes with a bonus race map called splash site. PC only.

Campaign spectre has vehicle health, meanwhile mp spectre doesn't have health bar (similar to ghost). I don't know if there are more differences (most likely some stat changes if there are any), but I'm guessing that stealth tank was also supposed to have health before they decided to made human vehicles indestructible.

I am going to assume the MP version of the Specter is indestructible like how the Ghost and Banshee were in multiplayer while the normal variant is the campaign one that can be destroyed. Also, I’ve played Halo CE for I don’t know how long and this was the first time I learned about the Leech. Overall, pretty awesome stuff from the Digsite team.

The troop hog was actually a Halo 2 concept, but it was implemented in CE.

if you remember back at e3 2004 when they first showed Zanzibar the gauss model was firing rockets, but then they also had it firing gauss rounds in e3 2003 so who knows what they really wanted.

One of the Digsite articles did say they found an anime decal on something that they were guessing was a placeholder or joke, but it was a real character so they changed it for this release to avoid legal issues. I do wish they at least said what character it originally was.

The stealth tank looks A LOT like the lightning tank from Planetside

I would love to see the Doozy get a major speed boost and have crazy waterslide mario kart race maps made for it, as well as radically different water hazard CTF maps

We really need a multi man vehicle for other factions, instead of UNSC only. Revenant is the closest one able to deliver flags from one point to another, I hope something like Spectre gets added to Infinite in an update one day. :)

Technically, the Transport Hog that you’re showing off here did get officially added to the lore as an Insurrectionist vehicle, particularly as an improvised troop transport driven by the United Rebel Front if my memory is correct, though considering I haven’t checked Halopedia in quite some time, I could be mistaken.

Actually, now that I’ve checked the article in question, it would appear the vehicle in question got retconned into the M914 Recovery Vehicle by Jeff Easterling, with an added note that “343 can always change it if needed.” Just wanted to clarify since I don’t like giving incorrect information.

The Troop Transport Warthog was planned for Halo 2. But it was cut so early in development that it ended looking too similar to the Halo CE Warthog. So that's why it was added to Halo CE and not Halo 2.

All that text scrolling inside the warthog was a really neat touch

Nobody else is mentioning it but the floating turret on the Spectre is the biggest tragedy of cut content. It would look perfect if it floated a little less.

Just wanna note that the Kestrel in this video which was supposed to be in CE was later canonized at the JOV-99 Kestrel which was developed by Vestol Corp. (Same company that made the ROGUE Mjolnir armor set) for usage by the CMA in the outer colonies against the Insurrectionists. Misriah Armories then picked up the design during the Covenant war and developed the AV-30 Kestrel, which is notable for having a 3rd fan on the back. That is the one that is featured in the mobile game The Stealth Tank (the Viper) is also still canon in the Halo universe. The lore is that the tank was used during the Insurrection war with the outer colonies. After the Covenant war started, the tanks stopped being manufactured as Covenant tech was able to counter the stealth tech in the tank. Meaning it was more beneficial to put all resources into creating the heavier and more powerful scorpion tanks.

The Leech would be great for BTB on the large Halo PC maps for aerial insertions

Some super interesting vehicles here seeing how they iterated or implemented thing here and there

Sheeesh that throws me back to the Custom Edition days... Man I miss those mad games on modded maps with modded vehicles and pure chaos

thanks general, love your stuff

4:02 Watching the Pelican tip over reminded me of the alien spaceship in the movie Prometheus, rolling onto Charlize Theron...

Recently played a mod that added most of the cut content to CE campaign and it was amazing.

It seems as if the stealth tank has a recoilless main gun, as it vents propellant out of the two vents on either side of the rear of the the turret. Or perhaps its just something bungie thought looked cool. Perhaps, if they knew what they were doing, the main gun on the stealth tank is designed to fire larger HE shells, and perhaps they added the recoilless gun to fire a larger shell for a given amount of recoil on the chassis. The HE detonation on impact looks a bit more impressive than the standard scorpion cannon.

Bruh, that Kestrel is sick

I remember playing Halo CE online with custom maps in Inmmure there was awesome flying bikes with machine gun and rocket launchers attached to it

The "rocket" hog is just the Gauss hog before it was reworked into the halo 2 version. What the hell is that anime head logo on all of the warthog turrets?

Great video! Just recently got back into Halo via MCC and oh my gosh. So much nostalgia. I never knew this is what I needed in my life. Do people still do the campaign co-op? I have started a run through of it but do miss the having a battle buddy part from playing halo as a kid. Split screen halo 3 are some of my best middle school memories lol

I really miss the first person perspective from being a passenger in vehicles, was so much more fun

Thanks for the content my brother.

This is so awesome, Halo really was an ambitious project

Something I've noticed with the Kestrel is the particles that look like ejected shells from the guns seem to actually be the shots themselves. I can kill AI with them.

I actually remember the transport hog from when I was a wee bab, my dad made a scratch build model of it for his wargaming.

Minor correction: The shadow was on Outskirts, not Metropolis.

people said the doozy is currently bugged with the speed some need to tune it themselves until a fix happens because in the splash down map made by digsite they made the doozy faster

You remember those crazy Halo 5 forge custom games (like Moby Dick, Shark Attack, Flapjack Frenzy, Pokemon Battle). You can use them to recreate them

Was the Kestrel seen in some Custom Edition MP maps from the 2000s like RPG_Beta_5 a cut vehicle from the base game? Or was it built from scratch by a modder like OpsY? Also the controls for pelican style vehicles can be awkward to get your head around at first, but basically if you get stuck dragging on the ground hold the jump button to gain altitude, and crouch to descend.

I wonder if the ricochet of the stealth tank rounds were inspiration for the Oni scorpion in Halo 5.

I want to see these vehicles in match making

The Stealth tank and Kestral look nice

I got triggered at how you didnt fly them around the island and just stuck to that tiny section of beach

The stealth tank looks like something out of Command and Conquer.

i actually asked the mod author about the anime girl head and yes they added it, but apparently there was a different one that was from bungie's previous game: Oni, so they swapped it for copyright reasons

Which vehicle do you all like the most? The stealth tank is my favorite, it looks like an Abrams

I love the CE Spectre

10:01 what are those in the background? Prototype flood?

I feel like some of these may have been from CE's RTS development stage. Some of these vehicles look like they were designed to be RTS units to me. Originally it was all going to be a myth style RTS, but the devs had so much fun controlling the units directly they decided on a third person action game and shortly after, first person.

The Shadow was on the mission Outskirts, not Metropolis

The Shadow was on Outskirts actually, but I know you meant that.

I will say it bugs me that they had a more practical design for a tank that they cut prior to release considering whilst the Scorpion does look cool, it also looks super impractical with the four tread pods and the 80mm gun rather than the full treads and 110 or 120mm gun like the Stealth Tank seems to have.

I personally find it annoying that the Kestral in Digsite is based on the Mega Blocs/Spartan Strike design and none of the actual concept art found in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition, I would've loved to see the Kestral's gunship design that looked like the Lifeboats but with rotors and weapons Bungie video of the concept art: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dot9maOhganWhKg.html

Kestral lools dope tbh

The chain gun on the warthog doesn’t have the wind up

Ima need mega construx to make a model of that troop transport hog!

this reminds me halo custom edition era

you can drive a transport hod n halo 3 the pitt, but you need to get it in from outta bounds

I would love a btb game with these vehicles

Halo 2 had pelicans with machine gun turrets on the chin of the pelican

God, that tank design is such a missed opportunity for Halo 2. Could have down-sized it a bit, lowered the damage and health, and replaced the tank on Delta Halo with three of these buggers. Give the UNSC a light tank to complement the Scorpion.

Wish they have a fileshare system but for mods.

The shadow was in outskirts not metropolis

Not gonna lie I wish the Spectre and Shadow made the cut, it'd would've made open fights a lot more varied.

I wouldn’t be surprised if in the lore they had transport warthogs on the ring. To evac wounded Marines and transport them.

Honestly while being able to acess these via mods is nice, I would like to have acess to some of this stuff in the main game too, that or let me continue to progress my achievements/chellenges ect in the non-eac mode :X

Hopefully that explains my position better.

The speed of the Doozy is in a doozy.

It's really interesting to see vehicles that are in the later games being originally cut content for Halo: CE

#BringHaloModsToXbox Also great video showcasing all the cut vehicles thank you 😊 👍🏻

6:17 hatsune miku?! edit: I can imagine the mp version of the spectre has slower fire rate on the turret

MP vehicles don’t blow up so I’m assuming that’s what’s different

Imagine if Halo CE&2C had forge

This is the main reason I want a PC, so I can play with these😢

Only thing I found wrong with The rocket hog is that it doesn’t have that mechanical sound effect when the turrret turns like in the first showcase of halo, very small detail but I really liked it. Can’t wait for the wild life to be revealed to us at some point

How do I access these?

Ok, but for real, why do you need a tank that fires quietly??? Ain't nobody gonna hear you from the other side of the map! LOL!

How do you get this?

Leave it to the digsite team to put anime in halo. They just cant stop themselves, can they?

This is as cool as the mod for Halo 4 for the Mammoth to be drivable and the Reach Pelican. The Mammoth works very well. Surprised they don’t make a huge map for btb where there’s two Mammoths for both teams. That you can all drive and fight each other. That would be bad ass for capture the flag.
