A world that went through many revisions.

An alien-built ringworld, imagined and coded by Bungie Studios. In particular, I speak of Installation 04, a Halo ring. These lands are always the mother load for those like us. Lands that withered and died, placed in the recycle bin or on old hard drives or disks. Sometimes, you'll even have videos of lands few men have tread, lands that people poured days, weeks, even months of their lives into. Now, think about how it feels for those of us who hunt those things, those of us that try to unearth them. Think about how it would feel if you discovered your favorite band didn't release an album, and you discovered it. Think of how it feels for some when a lost Doctor Who episode is discovered. Think back to people discovering Hidden Palace Zone, Wood Zone, and all the other cut things, and imagine how that must have felt. Think back a ways to when Simon Wai first released the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 beta that now bears his name. Sometimes, you unearth things that change history. As you unearth the old, you discover new layers, new experiences. Most of all, I like experiencing the cut content myself, from hunting down bands' obscure demo songs to playing beta versions of games. I love hearing about the alternate ideas, alternate stories and takes, and alternate character stories that were planned. Occasionally, it gives you a new way to get your ass whooped, like Flood Juggernauts in Halo 2. Sometimes, it gives you whole new experiences, like lost songs or cut levels. Unique peak into the minds of writers or developers.

"Halo Beta" - (Haunted Gaming CREEPYPASTAS) Not because it was cut, no, but because it's different.
