| Before [[Xbox]], and before the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', there was a game that was originally announced for the [[Wikipedia:Macintosh|Mac]] and the [[Wikipedia:Personal Computer|PC]] as a 3rd-person shooter, simply referred to as '''Halo'''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RfXCY8UMYk '''Youtube''': ''Bungie PAX Panel 2009'']</ref> The game development time was from around 1998 to the release of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', originating as a [[Wikipedia:Myth (series)|Myth-style]] strategy game before turning into a third person shooter, and finally being retooled as a straight-up FPS for the Xbox console. 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.

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

| | ====Elephant Precursor==== |

| ==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.
| | 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. |

| | [[File:Halo original 4.jpg|200px|thumb|Pre-Xbox render]] |
| * '''MA-5 ICW/30mm CQL''' - A 42-round assault rifle with an integral (assumably caseless) grenade launcher.

| * '''8W899C-82''' - An SRS-style rifle with a chrome barrel and large muzzle brake.
| | *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. |
| * '''12.7mm MP-99 para''' - A side-loading Human submachine gun with a pronounced muzzle flash. Developers referred to it as "a fire hazard".<ref name="youtube.com">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tqrfy4SR7I '''Unseen4's Youtube Channel''' - ''Evolution Of HALO (Beta Pre-XBOX) 1999 version & 2000 Demo'']</ref>
| | *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. | | *Early version of the M6 series pistol. |
| * '''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. | | *Precursor to the SRS99. |

| | ====Machete==== |
| * '''Fuel Rod Gun''' - Resembles the Fuel Rod Cannon found in Halo: Combat Evolved.

| ===Production notes=== | | ====Excavator==== |
| * 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]]''.
| | [[File:Halo edge 3.jpg|200px|thumb|The Halo: Combat Evolved Beam Rifle]] |
| * At some point during development, Blind Wolves were intended to be rideable.
| | In the video, the Spartan is shown holding a Covenant weapon that was the design inspiration for the [[Mauler]]. |
| * 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=== | | ====Weapon Storage==== |
| * The [[Marathon]] logo was incorporated into the old [[Heads Up Display]].
| | In the early versions of ''Halo'', the secondary weapon you obtained would be placed on your back. This feature was experienced in ''[[Halo 3]]''. |
| * 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>
| |
| * 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]]
| |
| * 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>
