===General-purpose machine gun (GPMG)===
Although the [[M247 general purpose machine gun]] is featured in-game as a fixed [[turret]], the general purpose machine gun (GPMG) was seemingly intended to also be available for use as a weapon in first-person. In the launch build of ''Halo 2'', strings in the game files referenced the GPMG such as picking up and switching to the weapon. The weapon was not seen physically until the release of ''Halo 2'' on PC as part of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', when the GPMG was added to the game's shared directory, allowing it to be spawned in and used via modding.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Zedd|KsAV1p_yXYo|Lord Zedd|Halo: MCC - Flying The Falcon in Halo 2 And More!}}

The GPMG is complete with firing, reload and [[melee]] animations, sound effects and firing particle effects, and features an altered model including a removable magazine and a buttstock not found on the original machine gun model.

A [[Covenant]] counterpart to the UNSC Flamethrower, the Disintegrator is featured in the ''[[Halo 2 Beta]]'' and can be spawned via [[modding]]. The weapons is untextured and fires flame-like particle effects - though in third-person the effects are more akin to a kind of red [[plasma]]. The weapon appears to have a cooldown bar of some kind around the reticule, though this is nonfunctional in the beta.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=H2BWeapons|vengeful_vadam|1262137145399091201|The Vengeful 'Vadam|Quote=In the Halo 2 Beta, there were two cut weapons: -The Flamethrower, which would be repurposed to become the Halo 3 Flamethrower -The Disintegrator, a Covenant counterpart to the Flamethrower.|D=08|M=9|Y=2021}}

===Plasma mortar===
This weapon is a [[plasma mortar]] seemingly based on the [[Japan]]ese [[Wikipedia:Type 89 grenade discharger|Type-89 "knee mortar"]] from [[World War II]]. The model itself was recovered and released in a mostly-unfinished state by Digsite, with the model itself based on the older ''Combat Evolved'' [[gravity wrench]] design.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-deep-dive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Deep-Dive|D=21|M=06|Y=2024}}
