I’m seeing a different outline for the early missions.
MC gets re-activated on the Pelican, who comes under attack from a Banished ship, and knowing that they have no chance against it, goes EVA to disable the ship and allow “Brohammer” and his Pelican to survive long enough to get him to the surface. MC does his thing and either disables the ship’s defenses or destroys the ship altogether…and heads back to the Pelican.
Once the mission is over, the Chief and Brohammer head for the Weapons’ last known location and get shot down by AA guns. MC disables the AA guns, rescues some marines…maybe establishes his first basecamp and proceeds to the Weapon’s location.
MC fights though a former human complex being occupied by Banished forces, rescues the weapon…then has to fight the base commander and unlocks the base as a human stronghold.
This would form a pretty smooth introduction to the gameplay loop…battle through the ship introduces basic combat and abilities. Crash-landing and destroying the AA guns gives you an understanding of the overworld gameplay loop…and the final assault and boss battle introduces the campaign-related gameplay loop. I’m sure that along the way things like Valor and Spartan cores will be explained and some secondary abilities will be unlocked by the player…after which the true open world map gets unlocked, and MC gets to pick how he wants to tackle things from there in “true” open world fashion. Whether the whole world will be unlocked from there, or aspects of it will be gated through campaign progression is unclear…I could see both being possible. Although ideally, the campaign and the open world will be closely tied to one another so that the two campaign loops enhance one another rather than feeling like completely different games.
I think the weapon has a key roll in filling in alot of what happened, other than the banished simply kicking everyone’s butts, think it’s gonna be something that unfolds the further into the game you get.
