Halo Campaign Evolved is Not a Remake

Halo Campaign Evolved mixes elements from Halo Reach onward instead of faithfully remaking Combat Evolved, creating a non-canon Frankenstein project that improves some mechanics while altering core design.

• Reach engine — Built on the Reach engine with Reach AI so the game feels nothing like Combat Evolved [00:47]

• Non-canon additions — Includes Halo 3 Flood pure forms too early in the outbreak plus Halo 4 Elites [01:22]

• Sprint addition — Adds sprint to lower difficulty with no developer reasoning provided beyond an off switch [04:09]

• Cut content — Restores Bungie dialogue like Fireteam Zulu lines with original Marine voice actors [05:33]

• Forerunner redesign — Turns areas like the Silent Cartographer rock bridge into generic Halo 4 and 5 style structures [17:35]

• Elite movement — Improves some elite animations but keeps poor Reach sword melee attacks [23:45]

• Skulls variety — Includes many unique skulls such as third-person view and infinite ammo [27:13]

• How many unique skulls does Halo Campaign Evolved include?

• What legal issue affects the song used in the skulls trailer?
