Is it possible for someone to create a whole accurate campaign mod of the original lost halo 2 storyboards back then?
This is a very serious question and I want to know if you guys are seriously on board with me on this because I’ve been thinking about this for over 15 years.
(And please for the love of God, let’s not fight over this. Think of this as an awesome, long and badass alternative “What If?” timeline Mod. Anyways, back to it!! 👇**)**
Now, the Halo 2 we got in 2004 was obviously DRASTICALLY different (but still really f*cking good) from the story already laid out on the Halo 2 storyboards—which in my opinion, is 1000% better narratively since it ties the story better in a full logical circle. (Not that the original was bad, hell no, it was awesome but the storyboards were just way cooler and I would love to see someone create this alternative timeline of events just to have everyone experience it firsthand.)
Basically, this mod would be extremely accurate to Halo 2 Storyboards plot direction with things already included.
Also, this mod would include ALL current AND ALL CUT halo 2 levels and sequences like (oh boy, here they come):
- The Cairo Station ending sequence where chief would just launch HIMSELF ONLY (like early Halo 2 trailers before the game released in 2004) and not with the bomb which transition to 👇
- Covenant Ship
- Cut E3 Demo (aka Earth City)
- Alpha Moon
- Forerunner Tank
- Sentinel Guard
- Sentinel Fortress (aka Sentinel HQ)
- Delta Temple
- Delta Escape
- and most importantly, EARTH ARK—with the Prophet of Truth boss fight via the Dervish (aka Arbiter)
(By the way, the missions already in halo 2 would be where they are already, it’s just that these cut levels would be included in).^^
Spoilers for the Halo 2 storyboard ending here:
- The ending revealing the tomb with a human skeleton, which in turn reveals that Humans are Forerunners and were their descendants.
- The ending sequence where chief and the UNSC are celebrating and you see chief calmly in a marine uniform and etc and Arbiter along Rtas monologuing about being lied to via the prophets and in the end, leave to stop the covenant civil war (Great Schism) and the Flood.
Which, due to all this series of revelations,^ would create something called “THE GREAT IRONY”.
That the covenant were killing their “gods” or the descendants of their gods blindly without question.

Okay, now that I’ve explained everything. What do you guys think of seriously seeing someone really good mod all this stuff and getting massive support from it.
By the way, I think a good (I guess temporary?) name for this mod could be called:
“Halo 2 (Lost)” mod
Anyways, enough of my rambling what do you guys think??
Like always, let’s be respectful.
BTW I would happily pay serious money to play this even if it’s just a mod. Also, spread the message of this post!
