343 Industries partners with Digsite modding team to recover lost content from the original Halo

It has been revealed that 343 Industries is working with a team of modders to restore the content that was cut from the original release of Halo: Combat Evolved.

Here's What We Know

According to PCGamesN, the Digsite modding team has been working with Halo developers for the past year:

"Of particular interest to us were design/production docs, Bungie feedback notes, tags, compiled maps, and source data for previously unseen multiplayer maps"

Some of the highlights of the recovered content include multiplayer maps originally developed for the PC port of Halo: Combat Evolved, which was developed by Gearbox Software and released in 2003.

"Gearbox had made a bunch of brand-new textures that were not being used whatsoever. I felt it would be a shame if these textures never got used, so I decided to remix Indoor into a brand-new map that could better utilize these newfound bitmaps."

343 claims that there is still much more content to showcase and the Digsite team will continue to work on the franchise's archives.
