Halo 2 Uncut

Welcome to Halo 2: Uncut, a Halo 2 mod that aims to restore as much cut content from this game as I feasibly can. For this mod, I wanted to take this multiple steps further compared to what was accomplished in the Juggernaut encounters mod. Not only am I going to re-enable other encounters and squads in general, but I'll also be re-introducing a whole assortment of other forms of cut content, as well as elements that appeared in the Director's Cut cinematics that were included with Halo 3's Legendary Edition.

This is NOT a rebalance mod. You're free to use these maps as a template to rebalance them yourself, but the main goal for the initial release of Halo 2 Uncut is to showcase what Halo 2 would have played like if it launched with all of this cut content.

• []E3 2003-style Single Shot Battle Rifle (assets by Sean T and Zteam)

[]General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG, can be acquired by destroying human machinegun turrets)

[]Suppressed SMG (is a starting weapon on Outskirts and Metropolis, is modified to pick up SMG ammo packs, performs the same as the regular SMG but has the benefit of being a lot quieter against the AI)
