Dialogue placeholders

Within the Halo 2 disc., hackers have found text placeholders for the scripted dialogue at certain parts of levels. Some of it has been humorously altered from the original script, and others depict lines that were eventually discarded.

Cairo Station

 * Miranda's "Thanks, Chief. I owe you one." is written as "Thanks, Chief. I owe you one. Take me now!"

Metropolis

 * The Marine's "See this look? It's terror!" is written as "Alright, this is the shit."

The Arbiter

 * When riding down the elevator, a SpecOps Elite was written saying: "Shhhh! Me hunting he-wa-tic." While Grunts will often make this comment, Elites never do so.

 * When the player first encounters the Flood growth on the walls, Cortana was scripted to say: "The amount of Flood bio-mass is increasing exponentially. There are reports of infestations in every district!"
 * When the player reaches the Sanctum of the Hierarchs, Cortana was scripted to say: "The Jackals and Drones have declared themselves the servants of the Brutes. The Hunters have sworn allegiance to the Elites. The Grunts seem to be neutral, or at least afraid to announce which side they support. Except for Truth, the Prophets aren't saying a word."
 * When the player takes too long to enter the conduit, Cortana was scripted to say: "I've lost control of the conduit! It's breaking away from the ship."

The Great Journey

 * The Elite's "The Hunters have come to our aid, Arbiter. They will fight by our side." is written as "The Hunters rawk!"
 * The Brute's "The Chieftain must complete his holy work." is written as "Tartar sauce must complete his tasty condiments."
 * During the cinematics at the very end, when the screen goes to black, the following words are written: "Tics of black for Marty.
