** A number of multiplayer maps are known to have been pitched, but didn't make it to full production. These include a map set in an underwater Covenant facility (possibly an inspiration for "Fathom" in ''Halo 5''), a Forerunner map named "Genessis" (sic, and possibly a prototype of the planet Genesis in ''Halo 5''), a map set in a canyon named "Dish" (which exists in blockout-form with functioning weapon and vehicle spawns, including the aforementioned Revenant), and remakes of the ''Halo 3'' maps Last Resort, Narrows, and Standoff. Narrows would've been re-themed to take place at a UNSC base, while Standoff got as far as a crude blockout of the map being made.

** A few more maps exist in more complete blockout forms, intended for both the base game and DLC. These include a map set in a canyon named "Dish" (whichexists in blockout-form with features functioning weapon and vehicle spawns, including the aforementioned Revenant), an open symmetrical map similar to ''3'''s Sandtrap, two symmetrical space-themed maps named "Constant Strife" and remakes "Shipyard", an asymmetrical map on the corner of an island named "Peanut", and a remake of the ''Halo 3'' maps Last Resort, Narrows, and Standoff.

** A cut Covenant vehicle was a redesigned Revenant, returning from ''VideoGame/HaloReach''. Instead of the driver-controlled mini-plasma mortar, it would've featured a gunner-operated plasma turret similar to the Specter from ''VideoGame/Halo2'', with a single seat for the driver in the front. It was cut fairly late in development, at a point where a fully complete and functional model of the Revenant exists.

** It hardly seems like a coincidence that Creator/JenniferHale voiced a [[Franchise/MassEffect redheaded female super-soldier with the rank of commander.]] ''VideoGame/Halo5Guardians'' even reveals that Palmer has [[spoiler:an alien with a crush on her!]]

They ended up having to end it by [[spoiler:completely destroying its setting of Requiem]], with ''ComicBook/HaloEscalation'' being forced to pick up the unresolved plot threads, such as Fireteam Majestic's fate ([[spoiler:[=DeMarco=] dies, Thorne becomes the new leader, and they get a new member]]) and the battle between ''Infinity'' and the Covenant over the Janus Key ([[spoiler:a Forerunner AI ends up taking it away from both sides]]).
