Halo 2's abrupt cliffhanger ending famously pissed millions of fans off, leaving them to wait for Halo 3 to see how Master Chief and The Arbiter would take down The Prophet of Truth.

This was a result of the game's rushed development, causing massive amounts of content to be cut from the final release, including a much longer ending which actually completed Chief and the Arbiter's quest.

This more conclusive ending got far enough for much of the voice dialogue to be recorded and the entire sequence to be storyboarded. 

And in 2022, YouTuber C3 Sabertooth ambitiously recreated the 30-minute ending using all the available materials.

Thankfully this included the original Halo 2 storyboards, graciously provided by Lee R. Wilson, an artist who worked on the game. 

Sabertooth tirelessly added animations, sound effects, music, and additional dialogue to the storyboards, in turn giving fans a shockingly persuasive account of how Halo 2 was originally intended to end.
