Idk if it’s a commonly liked change or not I have seen a few people react more confused than anything but I actually think it makes a lot more sense. Keyes is a ship captain in the deadliest conflict humanity has ever faced, why would he not keep his gun loaded? If anything if I was him I’d have a shotgun on me at all times.

Hey all! I felt like I had to make this video to justify how I felt about the game! I really enjoyed the game and also making the video - hopefully you all might like it too!

Here's my experience. Hope you guys enjoy!

Since it seems there may/will be a remake for 2 and 3, I was wondering if its a good idea if the next one has Halo 2 and 3 together? Would this be a good idea? I think a good title would be Halo: Finish the Fight if that does happen.

For me I think it would work pretty well if the studio manage to pull it off. Having 2 and 3 together in one package with multiplayer(Hopefully) would be kinda sick.

Techically, MCC already fills that role but with respect, I love the originals, I put on countless hours into them in the past from the OG Xbox to now on the PC through MCC, they're getting old, especially Halo 3 my personal favorite. Its already been 19 years and honestly I do want one of my favorites also be fully remade.

Though I do prefer a new Halo game instead but having a remake with my personal favorite Halo game will still be intresting. Campaign evolve, yes has problems and has some questionable changes but overall, it is still faithful to the original and it gives some confidence on a Halo 3 remake.

It looks like Halo Infinite’s forerunner architecture that was praised for going back to Halo 1’s style. Now that they put Infinite’s style in Halo 1 it’s suddenly not okay? Make it make sense

Were the cutscenes in Campaign Evolved mocapped, or were they primarily animated using other means? The cinematics have a very different feel from Halo Reach and Halo 4, and not really in a good way

To me, the cinematics don't have much direction or intentional camera work behind them. A lot of shots feel like they're simply capturing the characters performing an action rather than actually directing a scene

A few things stood out to me:

• the overall art direction feels much more cartoonish at times, almost reminds me of halo legends

• Character movement feels unusually slow and sluggish, especially during combat. There;s almost no sense of urgency in how the characters move, even when they're being shot at. Chief has moments where he's sluggishly walking and firing while sentinels are blasting him, rather than looking like he's actively fighting something dangerous

Compare these to Halo Reach or Halo 4, where those games had much stronger cinematic direction. Things like character movement, camera positioning, pacing, facial expressions (really bad in this remake), and body language were all used to actually communicate what was happening and how characters were reacting to it

That's what feels missing here, I'm not talking about graphical fidelity during gameplay, animations and cinematics just don't seem cool to me at all. Am I the only one getting this impression? Or are expectations really this low?

While I’d much rather we get a continuation of Infinite’s story, it’s clear this is the route they’re going for and I’ve enjoyed Campaign Evolved so far so what are your hopes for when they get to two and three? To name a few, I hope the Earth sections are expanded upon since there was a lot of cut stuff from Halo 2’s development due to the time crunch. Maybe even a playable version of the E3 demo. I hope Arbiter has a more prominent role in 3 and they rework the Cortana sections. One thing I hope they keep however is the Forward Unto Dawn landing as an in game event rather than a pre rendered cutscene, I don’t think it would hit the same otherwise.
