| The level would have described the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s adventure through the bowels of [[Delta Halo]] before his eventual capture by the Gravemind; the "Forerunner Tank" providing the namesake of the level was only described as something "''... awesome, that blows things up, glows a lot from little windows and moves real fast.''" When asked why he wanted the Forerunner Tank in the game, Jason Jones' response was, "Awesomeness would ensue". The level's replacement was the short cutscene at the end of Regret; the level's removal resulted in the long series of different cutscenes between Quarantine Zone and [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]. | | The level would have described the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s adventure through the bowels of [[Delta Halo]] before his eventual capture by the Gravemind; the "Forerunner Tank" providing the namesake of the level was only described as something "''... awesome, that blows things up, glows a lot from little windows and moves real fast.''"

| An early version of the levels [[Delta Halo]]/ [[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]] in the September 2003 build. The player spawns with an SMG and a sniper rifle, but no enemies populate the space. The art in this level was likely created by [[Paul Russel]]. When playing, the level has a low framerate.{{Ref/Reuse|stream}} This version of the level seems to match up with early [[Halo 2 storyboards|storyboards]] for an early draft of this mission, and unused scripts found in the ''[[Halo 2 Mod Tools]]''. | | An early version of the levels ''[[Delta Halo]]''/''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]'' in the September 2003 build.{{Ref/Reuse|stream}} |

| The early storyboards depict an early version of deltatemple in which the ''In Amber Clad'' exits slipspace above the ring and engages in a [[space warfare|space battle]] with two Covenant cruisers, before proceeding to drop Master Chief alone onto the ring. The Chief exits his drop pod armed with a pistol, though once he's sure the area is clear he switches to a sniper rifle. Cut scripts indicate that this early revision of deltatemple was to have stealth mechanics such as a work-shift change for Covenant patrols and dialogue with Cortana informing the Chief that if he's not quick, the Covenant patrols may find the dead bodies of guards he has killed. Additional dialogue for if the player did choose to go loud is also present.

| Curiously, when entering the multiplayer lobby of this build, deltatemple is available for play as a multiplayer map. In the menu, the level's preview images are those of early builds of the final level [[Ascension]].
