Halo CE Restored
What if Bungie had more time? That is the crucial question we are trying to answer. This is Halo CE Restored, a mod that fully restores all the cut content in Halo: Combat Evolved. This is content that was left behind during development and hinted at in various media such as beta builds and commercials. All cut content has been fully adapted to fit within the game world, essentially what it would look like if Bungie fully integrated these unused ideas.
You need both Halo CE campaign and multiplayer installed in order to play this mod.
All cut content showcased in this mod are from my YouTube series:
