Cut Halo Online levels
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Due to the cancellation of Halo Online, several multiplayer maps and a single-player training scenario were cut from the game.
Tutorial
Named s3d_tutorial in game files for the MS30 Halo Online build, this level would have been set on Anvil Station, and serve as an introductory tutorial for new players starting the game. Several pieces of released concept art for the level indicate the level was to involve a shooting range and Covenant automated turrets.
