For as much as I love H3 and it’s campaign, I always felt like something was missing. This is that something. For as cool as it is having MC and Arbiter- and his elite comrades whose names escape me right now, I always wished to see more of how the Schism affected the covenant from the Elites’ side.

@@tTaseric my point is that the Chief’s and Corrana’s story was finished. They should have left him in space able to bring him back sometime later.

@@xenosayain1506 The thing is Bungie went about it the wrong way. All they had to do was Increase Recoil & Bullet Spread/Bloom to balance out the Higher damage output & Higher RoF dual wielding should have had. 343 can easily implement dual wielding into infinite without needing to nerf half the sandbox. Just keep it out of MP & make a skull for it in Campaign & Optional in Custom Games/Forge.

@@tTaseric You know how mods can be used to spawn items? What if those items have a real world price? Modding players can then circumvent the paywalls by just giving themselves what the devs made to be payed for. Bad actors may if given the opportunity manipulate a videogame software to give themselves access to player and/or publisher networks. This is more of a risk with monetized games as they are always connected to one or both systems. For a real example of these things: _Grand Theft Auto Online_

@@crashbash8549 I hate to be the one to break it to ya But you are not the only being pursuing goals in this world. There's a lot more, some of which are important here: Decision Makers at Major Games Companies. Their goal is money. All of it. Modding in their games may prevent that, so to them it is a downside. Therefore, they will decide not to allow their games to be mod-able and so they won't be. This is why Live-Services rarely have modding. TLDR; Modding is a downside to greedy execs 'cause it's work with no obvious immediate profit potential.

Ever since I played through all the games again with a friend who never played Halo before to get ready for Infinite, I've always felt like Arbiter in Halo 3 was just having his own campaign offscreen that I wish I got to play. This isn't the same but hopefully it'll be finished and help fill that need I didn't know I had for the past 15 years.

[@swimmerofage2148]

The voice acting itself doesn't bother me, just the writing of the dialogue, and the ending. The elites would practically never evacuate, they'd rather die honorably fighting the Brutes on their ship. Secondly, the dialogue sounds more like humans speaking to each other in Sangheili accents. They don't talk like nobles, rather they speak as if they were scared, naive little children. It's just not who the Sangheili are and it's a little unnerving. However, the rest of the campaign seems fine. The enemy placement could use some touchup but other than that it seems to play very well! Looking forward to the finished product! Note: This is just a critique. I admire the time and effort clearly put into this campaign:)
