| colspan="2" | Note the door leading off the center of the foyer: there was a corridor running through the middle of the building. The catwalk in the foyer has an interesting texture to the sides of its railings that isn't seen in other pre-beta shots of the level.

| colspan="2" | The stairs lead up to the offices. More lightmapping here, adding volume to the barely-textured level.

| colspan="2" | The offices seem to be in the back of the building, on both floors, with doors and "windows" onto the "alarm console gallery". First 4 pics: lower floor, the empty dark wall on the first is where the stairs are. Last 2 pics: upper floor.

| colspan="2" | The interior is only done in one half of the lab. There are also pillars and foyer doors missing, and extra ledges along the sides of the area where you fight Barabas.

| colspan="2" | There were stools for the scientists... apart from that, this wing is pretty much final.

| colspan="2" | The ramps had really nice railings (I wish they'd kept them), overall the room was much lighter (there's a light wall on the far side). Same "V" structures at the ceiling as above: they're gone now. The layout of the rooms on either side is different, too.

| colspan="2" | The model didn't change at all, but now it's placed at the center (floor 2/3) of a really tall, open room. As for the terminals, there are primitive ones with similar looks around Damocles and elsewhere. Note the [[Marathon]] logo on Damocles' chassis (an [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]]).

| colspan="2" | These shots are probably from the time when [[Oni/Early Story|this was an electric plant]]. Note that the giant tube that serves as the end of the level (seen in the first pic) has a floor to walk on, in place of the electrified beam suspended in the middle, which Konoko runs down while being pursued by the TCTF. The pipe is also connected directly to the building, rather than being at the top of an elevator shaft. In the current version of the level, the mid-air beam is also the shaft for the giant fan; adding the fan was probably a hasty improvisation to make the level seem more like an ACC and less like an electric plant... but the fan shaft is still electrified!

| colspan="2" | By the time Bungie took the outside shot with the Iron Demon, they'd barred in the foyer. Also, notice the missing wall of glass in the last set of pics. This section is now occupied by a wall with a normal-sized door set in the middle of it. The original wide-open entrance is an odd design choice. Could it have been a pet door for the Iron Demon? Most likely the ID was only shown in this level because it was their "testbed" level, since it was really meant for BGI HQ, but perhaps an initial skirmish was once planned here. Finally, note the multiplayer HUD in the top-right of many of these pictures; the screenshot taker was in MP mode at the time.

| colspan="2" | There used to be some very interesting lit walkways leading in and out of the security tower. They were replaced on all three sides by corridors with laser obstacles. The last picture shows an interesting area that was apparently removed, which is roughly in the same position as the acid vat complex in the final model.

|

| colspan="3" | The basic layout of the room is the same, but it was much more crowded with "computers" and the existing catwalks were aligned differently.

| colspan="3" | In the last picture (early development?) there are no computers at all, the bottom floor is missing, and the set of catwalks/stairs is minimal.

|-

| colspan="2" | This was an arena with an industrial center area and much cleaner/brighter outlying areas connected by walkways, seen at various stages of development or in various flavors. This level also featured heavily in mid-development video footage (see {{SectionLink||Video footage}}).

| colspan="3" | In this area, the wall seen on the left appears to say "[DA]VES [AR]ENA of PAiN", which if true would refer to Dave Dunn the level modeler.

| colspan="2" | Alex Okita remembered this as "Just a bunch of tubes"; "It was pretty big, lots of falling and dying, from what I remember". The cross-beams are also reminiscent of Construction Pit.

| colspan="2" align="center" | [[Image:Pit3.jpg|320px]]

| colspan="2" | The first three pictures show some basic elements of the level's architecture (most notably, very steep stairs). The third picture shows [[Konoko]] knocking down an early [[Tanker]], with what looks like a collision glitch. The fourth picture is a rare glimpse at the [[Iron Demon]].

|A region of The Pit, identifiable by the shared wall texture. Lumber is stacked in the background (this is a construction zone, after all). This is possibly our only screenshot showing an over-the-shoulder weapon animation variant which we no longer have. The yellow blob in the distant top-left corner is probably a relic flame particle that's still in the game, but drawn incorrectly due to a graphics bug.

| colspan="2" | This now-extinct pistol was seen all over the place back when Bungie was taking pre-beta screenshots. This was the [[:Image:Gun smg 06.jpg|Shibume SH-40]], a fully-automatic pistol that fired 10 rounds/sec.
