A [[Covenant]] counterpart to the UNSC Flamethrower, the Disintegrator is featured in the ''[[Halo 2 Beta]]'' and can be spawned via [[modding]]. The weapons is untextured and fires flame-like particle effects - though in third-person the effects are more akin to a kind of red [[plasma]]. The weapon appears to have a cooldown bar of some kind around the reticule, though this is nonfunctional in the beta.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=H2BWeapons|vengeful_vadam|1262137145399091201|The Vengeful 'Vadam|Quote=In the Halo 2 Beta, there were two cut weapons: -The Flamethrower, which would be repurposed to become the Halo 3 Flamethrower -The Disintegrator, a Covenant counterpart to the Flamethrower.|D=08|M=9|Y=2021}} | |||

In the launch build of ''Halo 2'', strings in the game files referenced the GPMG such as picking up and switching to the weapon. The weapon was not seen physically until the release of ''Halo 2'' on PC as part of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', when the GPMG was added to the game's shared directory, allowing it to be spawned in and used via modding.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Zedd|KsAV1p_yXYo|Lord Zedd|Halo: MCC - Flying The Falcon in Halo 2 And More!}} | ||
The GPMG is complete with firing, reload and [[melee]] animations, sound effects and firing particle effects, and features an altered model including a removable magazine and a buttstock not found on the original machine gun model. | The GPMG is complete with firing, reload and [[melee]] animations, sound effects and firing particle effects, and features an altered model including a removable magazine and a buttstock not found on the original machine gun model. | ||
