Hey guys, this is my first post so I decided to post about the campaign demo we got a couple hours ago, if you didn’t see it the link will be here.
anyway, I think the campaign looks very good, I was skeptical at first but the demo from E3 and the one from EuroGamer completely changed my mind, this game looks amazing! I always knew the multiplayer would be good, as you cant get any worse then a certain other franchise that I wont get into right now but anyway, what do you guys think about the campaign so far? the vehicles, characters, weapons and all that stuff especially the mantis and mammoth, they look so cool! also one last thing, as the remake is quite obviously Valhalla from halo 3, what do you think of that? I was sure the remake was going to be Sandtrap but with the mammoths but Valhalla was an awesome map none the less
The remake may or may not be Valhalla, we may never know. Frankie did say something about jetpacks and using them to get into bases and how it won’t be that easy, so that rules out Sandtrap.
My guess is if Ragnarok is NOT the remake, it might be from H2. Containment and Waterworks were barely mentioned in the mass of remake threads. Sandtrap seems unlikely because it was a medium map and you didn’t need a grav lift to get to the “bases.”
As for the demo. I was amazed. I have nothing but 100% support on 343 towards how they are taking Halo.
Campaign Amazes me like it always has my opinion the lighting sounds and graphics and story are the best i have seen out of a halo game. Watching this made me feel like i was 13 again and seeing chief and being on a strange world all over again.
The lighting when Chief was flying around in the Banshee… All of those little details is what I liked than the rest of the demo. And how the AI has improved.

When the Elite tried to flank Frankie I was both extremely impressed and filled with dread at the same time. Legendary is going to a nightmare.
This campaign might be the best one in the entire franchise. The graphics are amazing, the Prometheans strike fear into my very core, the A.I. is greatly updated and the new weapons have me excited. More excited than the Halo 3 launch. But for me, the main thing is the story. I can’t wait for the epic story. Cortana…please don’t Die…
I was there, watching the stream from the show floor. Looked absolutely fantastic.
I’d like to point out, given that I’m watching it a second time now, Frank starts the demo at Rally Point Charlie. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s only ever been rally points up to and including beta in the past. Seems to me these levels really are going to be absolutely gargantuan.

My favorite part too. This will be glorious!
Things I liked: all the stuff we’ve seen before. Covenant and Prometheans fighting. Open, varied battlefields. All enemies working with and against each other in an orchestra of carnage. ‘Rally point charlie’ means this level alone is enormous. Enormous, multi-encounter, multi-level design. The weight behind the animation of John’s turning off the relay. Knights and Elites flanking John very intelligently. Charged beam turret thing. Knights (or one variety) can launch Pulse Grenades with their swords.
Things I didn’t like: Elites getting their shield popped from behind and just raging at the sky. Knights just standing there from time to time. Cortana whining so much. John’s dialogue being barely audible at the end. The Banshee’s plasma cannon audio being annoyingly metallic.
