As the game evolved, several vehicles and weapons were cut and others had complete overhauls. Below are some examples of lost or heavily modified gameplay items. | |

|
| ==RTS stage== | | ==RTS Gameplay== |
| Originally, Halo was going to be made an RTS for the Mac. Bungie employees had considered this version of Halo to be a clone of [[Myth]] with a Sci-Fi skin over it.<ref name="ReferenceA">'''[[Bungie]] [[ViDoc]]''': ''[[Bungie ViDoc: O Brave New World|O Brave New World]]''</ref> At some point, the entire game was redesigned, but was still an RTS.
| | In the beginning stages of the Halo series, it was first going to be an RTS game for the Mac. Some of the known elements of the early render include the: |
| | *'''Heavy Trooper''' - Infantry units and early iteration of the SPARTAN-IIs. |
| | *'''Toolbar''' - Used to select, command, etc. |
| | *'''Groundblast''' - (unknown, most likely scenery.) |
| | *'''Zedsu''' - A tank. |
| | *'''Bunker''' - A structure. |
| | *'''Scoutcar A.K.A Hummer''' - Early Version of the Warthog. |
| | *'''Horseshoecrab tank''' - A Tank. |
| | *'''Alien Tank''' - Tank of the opposing forces and early iteration of the Wraith. |
| | *'''Mowitser''' - Probable howitzer cannon due to the name. |
| | *'''Aliens''' - The precursors to the Covenant in the final game. |
| | *'''Starfighter''' - An aerial vehicle. |
| | *'''Propane or Gas Tanks''' - Scenery. |
| | *'''Ghost''' - Early iteration of the Ghost RAV. |
| | *'''Other Vehicles''' - Vehicles similar in appearance to Halo Wars Wolverine, Rhino and the cut Cougar. |
| | *'''Elephant Precursor''' - The precursor to the Elephant. |
|
| |
|

| *'''Bunker''' - A concrete fortification that may have provided cover.
| | ===Vehicles=== |
| *'''Heavy Trooper''' - Infantry units and an early iteration of the SPARTAN-IIs.
| | ====Helicopter==== |
| *'''Scoutcar A.K.A Hummer''' - [[Hummer|An early version]] of the [[Warthog]] featuring a pair of roof-mounted machine guns.
| | In the early renders of the Halo series, it was originally planned to have a helicopter within the game. |
| *'''Zedsu''' - A conventional-looking main battle tank.
| | |
| *'''Stalker''' - A heavier, camouflaged tank.
| | ====Watercraft==== |
| *'''Alien Tank A.K.A Horseshoe crab tank''' - A large, brown tank. Its design may have inspired the later [[Seraph]].
| | Known as "Dual-carrot craft" and Regular inflated raft, it was cut from the pre-production of the game. |
| *'''[[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles#Forerunner Tank|Forerunner Tank]]''' - An asymmetrical armored vehicle
| | |
| *'''Mowitser''' - Assumably a mortar/howitzer hybrid artillery unit.

| |
| * '''Other unidentified vehicles''' - Vehicles similar in appearance to Halo Wars vehicles, such as the Wolverine, Rhino and the cut Cougar.

| ==RPG Stage== | | ====Warthog Precursor==== |
| At some point during development, Halo was to be a continuous RPG.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}}
| | The design precursor to Warthog LRV |
|
| |
|
| {{expand-section}}
| | ====Elephant Precursor==== |
| | A large vehicle with a crane designed to be more like a huge Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). This vehicle was later introduced in Halo 3 as the Elephant as well as being included in Halo Wars. |
|
| |
|
| ==3rd-person action game stage== | | ====Spectre==== |
| Eventually, Halo became a 3rd person action game. These builds of the game are much more similar to the final product than previous builds. Very early versions of the 3rd person version of Halo used many assets from the RTS version.
| | [[File: Halo edge 4.jpg|200px|thumb|The Shadow, which later became the [[Spectre]]]] |
| | The Spectre was originally designed to be in Halo Combat Evolved, but was cut due to balance issues. It was included in Halo 2. The mounted [[Shade]] turret, however made it into the final version of the production. |

| The weapons of this build of Halo used names that were inspired by the [[Marathon]] series.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=TwitterMarcusWeaponNames|game_fabricator|727601612441559045|Marcus Lehto|Y=2021|M=5|D=23|Quote=Some were asking about all the weapon names in this old #Halo PC build.}} All weapons were named by [[Robt McLees]].{{Ref/Twitter|Id=TwitterMarcusWeaponRobt|game_fabricator|1388531022246023172|Marcus Lehto|Y=2021|M=5|D=23|Quote=Robt McLees named them all. I'm not certain I got the above list 100% correct since it's pretty hard to read the text in this build.}}
| | ====Early renders of common guns found in most of the Halo games==== |
| * '''MA-5 ICW/30mm CQL''' - A 42-round assault rifle with an integral (assumably caseless) grenade launcher. It was named in reference to the [https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/MA-75_Assault_Rifle/Grenade_Launcher MA-75 Assault Rifle/Grenade Launcher] in the Marathon series. | | *The Assault Rifle, which had the ability to fire grenades, though the grenade launcher was swapped out for a flash light in Halo's final build. |
| * '''0x877A 18F8''' - An early {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}. It was named in reference to the [https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/Alien_Weapon Alien Weapon] "0xfded" error. | | *Flamethrower, which was included in PC edition of Combat Evolved and brought back for Halo 3. |

| * '''WSTE-M90 Shotgun''' - A predecessor to the contemporary M90 shotgun, named in reference to the [https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/WSTE-M5_Combat_Shotgun WSTE-M5 Combat Shotgun] featured in Marathon 2.
| | *An early iteration of the shotgun. |
| * '''SPNKR M41 88M''' - An early version of the [[SPNKR|SPNKR Rocket Launcher]]. It was named in reference to the [https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/SPNKR_SSM_Launcher SPNKR SSM Launcher] weapons in Marathon.

| * '''Spear Gun''' - A portable harpoon intended for use against underwater enemies
| | The Gatling Gun was a weapon originally designed for the Pre-Xbox Halo Combat Evolved. It seemed to be a hand-held version of the [[M41 LAAG]]. It would appear that the weapon has finally come to light in the form of [[Halo 3|Halo 3's]] [[AIE-486H_Heavy_Machinegun|AIE-486H]]. |
| * '''Gravity Rifle''' - A Covenant sniper rifle that vaguely resembles the [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]], its spiritual successor.

| | |
| * '''Unidentified Covenant Grenade Launcher'''

| ===Production notes=== | | ====Weapon Storage==== |
| * In the early versions of ''Halo'', the secondary weapon the player obtained would be placed on their back, though this feature was not present in the final release of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo 2]]. This concept was finally introduced officially in ''[[Halo 3]]''.
| | In the early versions of Halo, the secondary weapon you obtained would be placed on your back. This feature was experienced in [[Halo 3]]. |
| * At some point during development, Blind Wolves were intended to be rideable.
| |
| * It would seem that at some point the development team intended underwater enemies to be present in the game, as a harpoon gun existed in these early builds of the game
| |
| * In the Evolution of Halo Part 1, there is a [[Warthog]] and an ATV that both lacks mounted armaments for defense. Both were later planned to be introduced to Halo 2 but dropped and finally added into Halo 3.
| |
| * Though the Gatling Gun is not in Halo: Combat Evolved, there have been several mods, using Halo Custom Edition, that has integrated the Gatling Gun into the game. Most if not all of these mods use the Warthog's turret model, separated from the base and the main vehicle.
| |
| * [[Engineers]] were originally going to be introduced in this game but, like most of this material, was ultimately absent from [[Halo: Combat Evolved|the final product]].
| |
| * Though closer to the final product, the E3 2000 build is actually still a pre-Xbox Halo build {{Ref/Reuse|youtube.com}}

|
| ===Trivia=== | | ===Other Pre-Halo Features=== |
| * The [[Marathon]] logo was incorporated into the old [[Heads Up Display]].
| | ====Broken Halo==== |
| * An exit game screen existed that asked the player whether or not they wanted to "Retreat from Chucky's Love".<ref>[https://twitter.com/game_fabricator/status/700789830993596416 '''Marcus Lehto's Twitter''' - ''My favorite UI screen to exit the game!'']</ref>
| | {{quote|"It's a little prelude to what happens in the future."|Bungie employee}} |
| * In the early stages of the game, the [[Halo Installation|Halo Ring]] was designed to be broken or incomplete in appearance, only attached by strands of skeletal supports in some areas, not unlike [[Installation 08]]'s appearance in [[Halo 3]]
| | In the early stages of the game, Halo was designed to be in broken form. |
| * The [[Elites]] originally lacked the style of armor present in the actual games, with some form of Exo-Skeleton or Tech-Suit instead. They also possessed mandibles that are "more dinosaur-like", rather than having a four-pronged jaw.
| |
| *'''[[Sharquoi]]''' were intended to feature as a Covenant or wildlife unit.<ref>[https://twitter.com/game_fabricator/status/277820832221380608 '''Twitter''': ''I animated the only existing one...'']</ref>
