A new report about Halo: Campaign Evolved claims the remake relies heavily on outsourced development and includes major gameplay and mission changes. According to Halo insider Rebs Gaming, external studio Abstraction handled a large amount of the technical and level-design work. Some sources described the project as “not really an in-studio project” for Halo Studios. Reported changes include: • A major redesign of “The Library” to reduce repetitive gameplay. • Additional revisions to repetitive sections across other missions. • Modernized mechanics like sprinting and expanded traversal. • A “campaign remix” system featuring skull modifiers and alternate gameplay rules. • A reported third-person gameplay modifier. • Brutes appearing in missions where they were not present in the original Halo: Combat Evolved. • Nine extra weapons added to the sandbox, including the Energy Sword, Battle Rifle, SMG, Spiker, and Sentinel Beam. Official previews emphasized staying faithful to the tone and structure of the original game while modernizing gameplay in Unreal Engine 5. Source: @Mr_Rebs_
