The map was later passed onto LeBel, though ultimately scrapped due to requiring too much time and energy to work into something useable. As of [[2015]], LeBel could not remember if this space was the fabled ruinedpain, or another map.{{Ref/YouTube|xEhdyzjVVqk|Hardy LeBel|Question Session - Level Design|Quote=Hmm, well I don't know anything about a volcano mission for single player. And I'm not certain about this, but Ruined Pain sounds familiar. I can say that I had one other map in CE that I cut before we shipped. It was an absolutely HUGE interior "Human" space built by Paul Russell. I think he made it as a proof of concept for his Human geometry. He gave me the files for the space, but as I was looking it over it was so huge that it really would have needed lots of time and energy to make into a good MP map - time he simply didn't have since he was so busy with single-player stuff. So alas - the world never saw it. That might have been Ruined Pain. But we may never know...|Quotee=Hardy LeBel|Detail={{C|[[:File:REF YouTube RuinedPain Comment.png|Local archive]]}}}}

The map can be spotted in the [[Halo:_Combat_Evolved_Beta_1749|1749 Beta]], where the image for the level [[Damnation]] features the map in an untextured blockout form, with the description "Colony remains on [[Reach]]". As part of the Digside Alpha initiative to uncover and restore cut content, this map is being further developed by Conscars under the name "Purgatory", combining the existing model with a modified layout and new scenery inspired by the Beta 1749 description.

*race day - Raceday is the working title of a map shown to be in a maps folder alongside other cut ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' maps and experimented on ''very'' early in ''Halo 2'' development. Based around the concept of a "''[[Wikipedia:Car Wars|Car Wars]]''" style mode. It was cut very early on, still graphically resembling a ''Combat Evolved'' level.{{Ref/Reuse|HWCRF}}
