Haven't watched the vid yet but I've read the article. [quote]sneaking through groups of sleeping Covenant[/quote]Well it's about time. That was NOTICEABLY absent in the Campaign. It's been in EVERY fps Halo game except Halo 4. [quote]The way these environments unfold in Episode Six feels much more akin to an actual Halo campaign -- open-ended environments with more of that sandbox freedom -- than the recycled, mostly enclosed wave-based arenas from Episodes 1-5.[/quote]Does this mean that the kill 'em all objectives occur less often? The less like Firefight, the better. Campaign is infinitely more replayable. Mainly, checkpoints = infinite possibilities [quote]This is because 343 is taking advantage of its own resources -- with campaign designers and animators no longer working on the core Master Chief portion of Halo 4, they're more readily available to help create better, more interesting add-on missions for Spartan Ops. The studio's using more of its talent to make Spartan Ops better -- and it is absolutely working. [/quote]So that explains why Shootout in Valhalla was abomination.
