Pre-Xbox Halo
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Before X-Box, before Halo:CE there was a Halo game that was orginally announced for the Mac as a Myth-style strategy game[1]. The development time was from around 1998 to the release of Halo: CE. AS the game evolved along the way some vehicles and weapons were cut and others had complete overhauls. Below are some examples of lost or heavily modified game play items:
Gattling Gun
The Gattling 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, but, as it was not put into the game, it's characteristics are unknown.
There have been several mods, using Halo Custom Edition, that have integrated the Gattling Gun into the game, using the handle and base of the Flamethrower, but replacing the adhesive projector with the barrel of an M41 LAAG.
Machette
A Machette was at one point part of the Halo game play. Also notice how much Master Chief has evolved.
Elites
An Elite circa 1999. They've come a long way!
Spectre
The Spectre was originally designed to be in Halo Combat Evolved, but was cut because of balance issues. There appears to be a Shade turret mounted on the back.
