The Brute Tracker is an unused [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] enemy rank found in the files and early builds of ''Halo 3''.

The Tracker uses a helmet model look similar to the [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Stalker]], with armour and shoulder pauldrons reminiscent of the infantry and captain Brute ranks featured in the game. | The Brute Tracker is an unused [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] enemy rank found in the files and early builds of ''Halo 3''.

Found alongside the ''Halo 2'' leftover Elites in the Delta build are a series of Elites that spawn holding specific weapon loadouts. It is unclear why these Elites exist, and it may simply be character bipeds used for testing features. Alternatively, they may be a remnant of a weapon loadout system considered for ''Halo 3''.{{Ref/Reuse|DeltaElites}} The weapon Elites are as follows; | Found alongside the ''Halo 2'' leftover Elites in the Delta build are a series of Elites that spawn holding specific weapon loadouts.

The "banger" is a variant of [[pod infector]] found in the files for the ''Halo 3'' mission [[Cortana]], found as a tag in the pathway <code>objects\characters\flood_infection\flood_infection_banger</code>. In the files, the banger has no associated model and the tag is never loaded, though some contextual clues within the files (such as using the same nodes/markers and texture files) indicate it would have used the same model as the infection forms.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Banger|R60geSLtnWk|Lord Zedd|Halo 3 - Cut Enemy: Flood Infection "Banger"}} | The "banger" is a variant of [[pod infector]] found in the files for the ''Halo 3'' mission [[Cortana]], found as a tag in the pathway <code>objects\characters\flood_infection\flood_infection_banger</code>.

;Infector form | ;Infector form | ||
Described as a "''3-limbed flood infection/ attack form w/3 regenerating spore projectiles''", the Infector is a major Flood enemy type that would have seen major interaction with the vehicle sandbox. The Infector has three legs and three large, bulpous pores on its main body. These pores are each capable of firing off a "spore" at enemy targets, which itself is capable of using a single tentacle to try and latch onto targets should it miss. When it comes into contact with infantry they are converted as normal, while contact with vehicles sees the spore take control of the driver and gunner stations - allowing the Flood to infect enemy vehicles and use them against their creators.{{Ref/Reuse|AOH3Flood}} This is an expansion on the idea of Flood-controlled vehicles first seen in ''Halo 2''{{'}}s [[Quarantine Zone]] mission, with [[Flood combat form]]s driving vehicles in the level. While the Infectors were ultimately cut, similar ideas were later introduced into ''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]'' in the form of the [[Flood infester form]]. | |||
;Stealth form | ;Stealth form | ||
The Stealth form has two images featured in the ''Art of Halo 3''. The images both depict a similar design; a mass of tentacles holding a plasma rifle. Little is known of the stealth form's intended direction, other than this. | |||
;Transport form | ;Transport form | ||
The Transport form was to be a massive flood form. The form was a four-legged huge form similar in scale to a [[Scorpion]] tank, with a large maw and several sweeping tentacles that can grab enemies and force them into the maw. After a short period of ingestion, a series of "''boo-bags''" would glow on the creature before it hurls out a cocoon of flood biomass at enemies. The cocoon then births a fresh combat form. Alongside this, the transport form would be able to have several other Flood forms ride atop its back.{{Ref/Reuse|AOH3Flood}} | |||
