Restoring Lost Halo Maps and Cut Content: A Year-Long Project

Developers 343 Industries and modding team Digsite have partnered to restore lost features from Halo's cutting room floor to the Master Chief Collection, including never-before-seen maps and weapons from the archives of Halo: Combat Evolved. The Digsite team is excavating and restoring weapons, enemies, maps, sounds, and vehicles from the earliest eras of Halo development, adding them to the collection in a series of updates. This includes a "swamp themed level" made by Gearbox Software for Halo: Combat Evolved's PC port in 2003. The restored content offers a glimpse into the game's evolution from an RTS to a third-person shooter and eventually a first-person shooter.
