It's true that the engine contains level names for levels that are no longer there. But they fall under four categories:
- Cut story
- Merged levels
- MP arenas
- Test levels
There's only one level we know of that actually was part of the story, but was cut, and that's level16_Final, "BGI HQ".
There was a third Airport level at level5_Final, but the three Airport levels were merged into two, so probably nothing was cut, Bungie just decided to make bigger levels and fit everything into two parts.
The rest of the missing levels were going to be arenas for multiplayer matches, or else they were made to test some feature of the game.
You mention the "beta" levels, perhaps you mean the pre-beta levels? It's true that the levels back then sometimes looked nicer than they do now. Some fancy details were "cut" from Oni's existing levels, in a manner of speaking. No actual content, just details or features of the game.
Edit: There's also the matter of level15_Final and level17_Final. We don't know what those were going to be, but probably they represent some planned storyline that was cut a long time ago. As opposed to the BGI story, which was cut around the time BW had to start rushing Oni to completion.

is it possible to have the crossing zone and all them missing content etc (guns level) back ?

Well, only if we remake them by hand based on the screenshots. We don't have access to any of the data for those levels.
However, if we ever get multiplayer working, I wouldn't be surprised if someone eventually recreated arenas like Crossing Zone so that we could play in them online.
But right now our main interest is adding BGI back in. Some day it would also be nice to restore some of the existing levels to the way they looked pre-beta.

I really don't know what Bungie had planned for Oni that may have been cut. At this point I'm not sure anyone actually remembers all the versions of the story, even Hardy, the Project Lead.
But fwiw, I've always thought that in Oni 2, Mai would definitely look for her father.

One has a screaming cannon.
If we don't change the direction we're going, we'll likely end up where we're headed.

Mr Leus being all accurate true one has a superball and one screaming cannon
but I was thinking more near the end of the level since I'm not so afraid of BSL anymore i might be able to do that.
and the joint story is really my inspiration for the whole thing ^_^
the glass floor with the large shini if I could make them appear under it or maybe let it break when konoko walks on the rail like we said in the joint story and fall to fight shinibots or see the ghosts there, that would be awesome ^_^
ok we're getting off topic we'll discuss this on the various new characters project when I finish the other characters ^_^

.....you know that there is a level19 file???
is that mean b4 they cut those chapter off the full realese will have 19 level ??
so is that mean there is 5 missing ?
Offline
Technically, yes, but as I said, only one of those levels was definitely going to have content that is not in the final Oni.
Just to lay it all out:
level5_Final was Airport part 2 of 3. level4-6_Final became level4_Final and level6_Final when the three levels were merged into two.
level7_Final was moved or merged a long time ago.
level15_Final and level17_Final were moved or merged a long time ago.
level16_Final was going to be BGI HQ.
We don't know of any missing elements from Oni's story except for BGI; the other gaps in the numbering were just the result of revisions to the arrangement of content in the story. Hardy LeBel has said that it was easier to just leave gaps in the numbering than to re-number a bunch of levels when content was moved around or merged.

what is the bgi about ?
what about the crossing zone

I feel like your question about BGI has been answered a hundred times already in the history of the community, so I'm going to leave you to research that one for yourself.
Crossing Zone was just a multiplayer arena of some kind.
