Cut Content & Changes from SM2 Release

General
- Holstered weapons were shown in the first Space Marine 2 trailer, but the feature was ultimately scrapped due to clipping issues.
- The Assault Bolter exists in the game files. It is fully functional in mods like Astartes Overhaul and is featured in the official concept art book.
Campaign
- Character selection: it appears that choosing between Titus, Gadriel, and Chairon was originally intended, as all three have individual portraits similar to the PvE class selection.
- Replayable Prologue:
Rain of Terror, Last Stand:Bellum Sempiternus, and Finale:Duty Without End.
- The game files also mention combat trials for Titus.
- Inceptor Armor sets appear in the game files, with specific mentions of Inceptor skins for both Gadriel and Chairon
PveSkinInceptor. - 5th Difficulty:
CHAPTER MASTER. Description:Give everything you have for the Imperium. Stand against the forces bent on Humanity's ruin until your very last breath.
PvE
- Heretic Astartes color presets were planned, as evidenced by an icon visible in one of the trailers.
- Termination Operation and Lethal difficulty were teased in one of the trailers before being officially added in Patch 4.0.
- Tactical's unavailable right shoulder pad is visible in the thumbnail for one of his combat trials.
- Sniper's instant executions from stealth were teased in the Tactical and Sniper Classes trailer.
- The "Colour Primer" feature would allegedly allow players to choose between matte or metallic finishes for their armour colors. (it might eventually be added as mentioned by u/agentduckman12)
- The Grav-Cannon is referenced multiple times in the game files as a primary weapon for Heavy
UI_FIREARM_GRAV_CANNON_NAME. - Class Recommendations for Operations
UI_MISSION_TYRANT_RECOMENDED_CLASSES:
- Inferno: Tactical, Heavy, Vanguard
- Decapitation: Tactical, Assault
- Vox Liberatis: Bulwark, Vanguard
- Reliquary: Tactical, Assault
- Fall of Atreus: Heavy, Sniper
- Ballistic Engine: Tactical, Vanguard
- Termination: Tactical, Heavy, Vanguard
upd:
- Strategium was originally used to select game modes and missions.
- Old Armouring Hall design with a different perk tree look.
- The class trailers implied a much more restricted weapon arsenal for classes. For example, Assault would only have Thunder Hammer and Power Fist, and Vanguard would only have Combat Knife as a melee weapon.
