==Trivia==
When developing [[Halo_2|Halo 2]], Bungie faced many delays for various technical reasons. As such many aspects of the story such as vehicles, gameplay/design, and story elements did not make it into the final version of Halo 2. Many of the elements have been confirmed by such things as videos and commentary on the Limited Edition special DVD.
The Strike Fighter bears a strong resemblance to the [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It therefore seems likely that Bungie reconsidered the idea of incorporating a usable [[space fighter]] in the game.

The UNSC Strike Fighter was planned to be used as a heavy fighter aircraft for the player to use in the opening stages of Halo 2, but it was never added to the game. Little is known of the vehicle, except for a description and a concept art found on the bonus DVD of Halo 2 Collector's Edition.

Transcript

Marcus Lehto: "I think it was the Strike Fighter, right? It was like a defensive fighter for the... the... uh..."

Robert McLees: "Earth Space."

Marcus Lehto: "Well, it just didn't fit into our game play, either. We didn't have any kind of purpose for this thing"

Shi Kai Wang: "Unless it's cinematics."

Robert McLees: "Yeah it'd be a cinematic-only thing, and there wasn't enough time to add it in."

Trivia

The Strike Fighter bears a strong resemblance to the YSS-1000 Sabre in Halo: Reach. It therefore seems likely that Bungie reconsidered the idea of incorporating a usable space fighter in the game.
