You were supposed to go back to Earth City, find the Ark… and at that point, that was the Ark that opened up. In May of 2016, composer and audio lead Martin O’Donnell was interviewed for IGN’s Unfiltered podcast. It showed a whiteboard detailing a level labeled “Earth_Ark_09” that was for both the Master Chief and the “Dervish.” Fans quickly deduced that the “Dervish” was the Arbiter and that this level was supposed to take place after the end of the released game. Special feature “Designing the Levels” tipped their hand, though.

But it stopped short of actually saying that an ending had been planned. The documentary “Behind The Scenes - The Making of Halo 2” was not shy about the struggles the studio faced making the game, explicitly mentioning that things had been cut to get the game out the door. There was a Limited Collector’s Edition of Halo 2 that included a DVD with well over an hour of behind-the-scenes information on the game. The first sign that Bungie had planned for more than what shipped actually came immediately.

In the years since then, bits and pieces of what this cut ending was have trickled out, but never enough to get a full picture. At first, Bungie would play coy, saying only that the cliffhanger was “ intentional,” but eventually they would admit that, yes, they had a whole ending planned for the game and had to scrap it due to the extreme crunch of the development. And it was soon after that when people correctly guessed that this was not the ending the developers intended. But it did not take long after the release for people to realize that it ended on a giant cliffhanger. Over a million and a half copies were preordered, there was coverage on news networks, and it ended up making well over $100 million in just the first 24 hours.

At the time, it was probably the most anticipated video game launch ever and there are few games since that can match the level of hype it received.
