The Mongoose was originally intended to be a vehicle useable in ''Halo 2''.

In the build shown, the Mongoose uses the same driving sounds as the [[Warthog]] and has the aiming reticule of the [[Magnum]]. During development, the Mongoose was difficult to integrate into gameplay, with the designers trying out front-mounted guns and no weapons. Ultimately, the vehicle was cut as it interfered too much with the Warthog and [[Ghost]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=H2CE|DWI7AhQFpTE|Bungie|Cutting Room Floor Weapons Vehicles and Characters|Y=2020|M=12|D=17|Detail=Official Bungie upload of the BTS video from the ''Halo 2'' Collector's Edition}} | ||
Notably, the Mongoose was brought back almost wholly unchanged in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and has since remained a series staple; in ''Halo 3'' and subsequent titles, the Mongoose is a two-person vehicle with no armaments. A second player can mount the back of the vehicle and fire their handheld weapons in third-person or carry objectives (such as a [[flag]]). The idea of the Mongoose with weapons was later revisited in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', with the game's multiplayer introducing the [[Gungoose]] - exactly the same as the regular Mongoose but with two front-mounted and driver-fired [[M67 light anti-infantry weapon|M67 LMGs]]. | Notably, the Mongoose was brought back almost wholly unchanged in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and has since remained a series staple; in ''Halo 3'' and subsequent titles, the Mongoose is a two-person vehicle with no armaments.
