Doozy

From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki

The Doozy was a UNSC vehicle that was going to be included in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, but was deleted from the games. It is however, seen in the Halo 2 Collector's Edition Video.

[edit] Summary

Before the vehicle was deleted, it had a chaingun in the back, and to man the chaingun, one had to sit in the "nausea seat", which faced backwards.

Interestingly, in the Halo Editing Kit, there is an option for vehicle types, and one is 'human boat.' This is because Bungie had built in a boat function into the game engine, but the concept was never used.

The Halo Encyclopedia lists a vehicle of the same name which it describes as a modified snowmobile, used for quick movements over snowy ground, particularly for medical transport, messaging, diversionary tactics, and evacuation.^[1] Its physical descriptions is otherwise essentially the same as the boat version, noting that the "nausea seat" proved to more of a hindrance than a help. The Doozy is one of the three vehicles based on deleted material featured in the Encyclopedia, the other two being variants of the Warthog.

[edit] Deleted Material

Doozy is part of the Deleted Material cut from the Halo game.

When developing the Halo games, Bungie and other developers such as Ensemble or Wingnut Interactive had to cut some content from the final games. As such, many aspects of the story, such as vehicles, gameplay, design, and even story elements, didn't make it into the final versions. Many of the elements have been confirmed by such material as videos and commentary on the Halo Limited Edition Special DVD, interviews with developers, and released concept art.
