So the Skiff is the Infinite skiff, one of the digsite guys said in one of the modding discords that they were looking to add cut Infinite content to MCC as well. It didn’t make it too far, but I imagine it would have been looked at further as they rounded out the cut content per each game.
makes sense, the more I was looking at the more I was like wait, this doesnt really make sense since its like a banished skiff lol and they also had stuff like the halo wars elite and like a e3 scarab model
@@Spartan_Tanner HW2 and 5 were especially interesting cause the game models for HW2 were fully modeled and we already seen some people yank them and make them work great in 3 and Reach. And 5 has loads of weapons and vehicles that could have bee fun. Also could have ported the Soldier and the H5 Knight too.
I feel like they wanted to get rid of MCC and legacy halo to replace it with their reboot slop of rewriting history. So they gave digsite unrealistic expectations on purpose to screw them over.
I've felt this way about Microsoft's attitude to Halo in particular for a long time now. Over recent years, it's been the same way as if Nintendo were to actively hate making and releasing Mario games. They just don't seem to have any love or investment for what would have been their flagship title a decade ago. Same for their other properties, like Gears of War and Fable.

It hurts, seeing all of this, hearing how this was all something being internally worked on to a polish like Alpha Moon, and because of the reality we're knowing about it via leak means it'll never come to polished fruition.

The heavy mounted gun may be ported over from Halo 2, since Turrets where to be detachable and useable in first person, before being cut and later incorperated into 3. Seems the plan was to go with H2's proposed idea, before switching over to the third person camera.
@@Unseen_Haloin the 90GB leak there’s a bunch of stuff of the Skiff, including some old designs and how it evolved into the “final” skiff. The ones you spawned in the playground are still old designs You can simply type: skiff in the file searcher, while on the main folder, and you’ll see what I mean :). It’s been interesting to dig into all the files
I'm like you Corbin. I was always captivated by that H3 teaser Chief. It's weird seeing the model for it. I love all those Sentinels. And seeing the Stratosentinel in the ground is wild. That would have been a thing to see in campaign. The Compiler is one I was not expecting. Very on the nose. Love to see it.😂 PS Thanks to the Digsite team for all their hard work and everything they brought to us. :( You guys rock.
Hey Corbin - I’m hearing there’s another version of Halo Reach m40, some more halo 3 stuff (any other cut levels or assets you can easily find?), and even some super early ODST / Reach stuff as well? Will you make another video? Thanks as always. Sorry to hear it went down like this. Dig site folks were doing invaluable stuff for game preservation. They deserve to be paid for this work.
the big guardian is more creepy than i thought and i love it, honestly wanna see it full working eventually, but the last part of the vid was suppose to be a level we go to after the ark but was heavily cut only leaving a single shader in the retail build
so from what i heard digsite is being disbanded or something? that really sucks if its true i was really looking forward to halo 4 cut content stuff and HW1 and HW2 cut content stuff heck even cut content if any for the spartan assault and strike games [if nothing else to have them maps from them both to port and fix up into the actual 3d games yk]
I have a request In an early version of Halo 3 from aronnf 2006, a team got to see a build of Halo 3 with "the brute Ghost" which was described as " a traditional ghost, but longer, and it had no wings, and shot out 4x the plasma" which also decribed the Pike qhich was built in Destiny around 2006 in Halo 3, since the chopper was not as described there but the pike is.

@@anthony-s026 we could've even gotten stuff that wasn't included in the game files for them, like the cut retriever sentinel model.
Don't forget the unused H5 ODST :c
That's literally a compiler from Marathon.

Halo and Xbox are dead. They don't care anymore. They just want the Cloud gaming chase.
what was Digsite? why did they dissolve?
It never accrued to me that the guardians were supposed to be a reference to the S'pht from Marathon. Crazy
Back when Al of bungies games were just marathon rebooted. Even Destiny was a or still is in some ways.
Let's see Forerunner City

Yeah, the one you showed is an early version. Both it and the finished one are in the leaked H3 Digsite files
Even though they are simpler, these classic Guardian designs are way cooler than the nauseating mishmash 343 gave us. They actually look Forerunner!

did the accumulator guardian use any different weapons then the other guardians?
I have a request

this is so neat! thanks for the rundown, man :D
I feel like the large accumulator guardian was like a predecessor to the composer and the didact from Halo 4 as much as I hate to say it
at 4:44 isn't that weapon in halo 2 uncut?
Would you be willing to do a fly/walk around of the Forerunner City level?
Here before the cease and desist from MS fascists 🤘
I'm all for dunking on multi billion conglomerates. But respectfully, this is just cringe.

How did you access the leak, i want to see some of the stuff for myself
@@Rexfuselier it's on archive.org now
Isn't that large Sentinel the Offensive Bias?
in 343 lore yes not in bungie
Yes and no. Consider it a special guardian sentinel body offensive bias uses. Like adjutant resolution does to fight chief
badass
