In the 2024 Digsite leak, a debug build of Halo 2 (Vista) and the editing tools was found. This build came with a Games for Windows Live crack in the game folder.
Editing Kit
Debug versions of the Halo 2 Editing Kit are present, and do not contain the restrictions that the retail disc's versions have. Tool is able to import sounds and render models into the game.
Two separate installs of the tools are present, one set mirroring the retail H2V toolset (H2Tool.exe, H2Guerilla.exe, H2Sapien.exe) and what appears to be the Xbox versions used at Bungie (tool.exe, guerilla.exe, sapien.exe)
Tags
A full complement of the tags for retail Halo 2 Vista is included, but the game is not a 'Tag Test' build, so these must be compiled into .map files before they can be used.
technical_manual_legacy
Bungie's full documentation for the Halo 2 engine is included in HTML format. This contains instructions on engine functionality, setting up Xbox Devkits, the editing tools, Bungie's office intranet site and more.
