Marcus Lehto: "I think it was the Strike Fighter, right? It was like a defensive fighter for the... the... uh..."

Robert McLees: "Earth Space."

Marcus Lehto: "Well, it just didn't fit into our game play, either. We didn't have any kind of purpose for this thing"

Shi Kai Wang: "Unless it's cinematics."

Robert McLees: "Yeah it'd be a cinematic-only thing, and there wasn't enough time to add it in."

When developing Halo 2, Bungie faced numerous delays for various technical reasons. As such many aspects of the story such as vehicles, game play/design, and story elements did not make it into the final version of Halo 2. Many of the elements have been confirmed by such things as videos and commentary on the Limited Edition special DVD.

It may be that the early concept of the Strike Fighter was the SkyHawk mentioned in Halo: The Fall of Reach.
