The Mongoose was originally intended to be put into ''Halo 2'', but was eventually [[Cut Halo 2 vehicles|one of many vehicles]] cut from the game.<ref>[[Halo 2: Collectors Edition DVD|''Halo 2: Collector's Edition'' DVD]]</ref> The Mongoose prototype did not fulfill Bungie's expectations for ''Halo 2'', and although Bungie attempted to add dual coaxial machine-guns to it or an armed passenger, it remained unbalanced and didn't fit into the gameplay. Bungie at the time could not figure out a way to implement it into the campaign, and had trouble getting the physics for it right, stating that the whole thing had a tendency to flip very easily, and gameplay wise, had no purpose as it couldn't be driven with the flag and became virtually useless. The addition of the passenger seat gave rise to whole new possibilities and led to its inclusion in the third game. | The Mongoose was originally intended to be put into ''Halo 2'', but was eventually [[Cut Halo 2 vehicles|one of many vehicles]] cut from the game.<ref>[[Halo 2: Collectors Edition DVD|''Halo 2: Collector's Edition'' DVD]]</ref> The Mongoose prototype did not fulfill Bungie's expectations for ''Halo 2'', and although Bungie attempted to add dual coaxial machine-guns to it or an armed passenger, it remained unbalanced and didn't fit into the gameplay.
