Cut Halo 2 dialogue: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:48, April 7, 2020

The following dialgue can be found in the game files for Halo 2.

The following lines of dialogue are found in Gravemind. They were either cut or not implemented, as they are not used in the retail game.^[1]

(l07_0080_cor) Cortana: "Chief... there were no humans on board, it was filled with Flood!" - Presumably referring to the In Amber Clad.
(l07_2160_cor) Cortana: "Whatever that Flood creature was, it had damn good aim." - Potentially referring to the Gravemind's precise Slipspace jump, bringing the aforementioned UNSC ship inside High Charity's dome.
(l07_2870_cor) Cortana: "If the speed of the Flood's spread in this tower is any indication, it won't take long for it to overrun the entire city!"
(l07_2850_cor) Cortana: "Flood spores have contaminated the city's life support infrastructure; the filtration systems are overloading!"
(l07_0110_cor) Cortana: "The Flood have killed most of the Prophets' Honor Guards. You should thank them- that is if they weren't trying to kill you too."
(l07_2890_cor) Cortana: "The Jackals and Drones have declared themselves the servants of the Brutes. The Hunters have sworn allegiance to the Elites."
(l07_2900_cor) Cortana: "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."
(l07_0250_pot) Truth: "If you would doubt, look to Halo. What fears have you that would not vanish in its light?"

Cut dialogue for the level Gravemind mentions Flood spreading throughout the tower the player is currently in, despite Flood not appearing in the retail mission. As the levels Gravemind and High Charity were originally intended to compose a single level^[2], this could be an indication that these lines were added to the game relatively early in Halo 2's development, before the decision was made to split most of the levels in half.
