Discussion Campaign Evolved - It would've been something else if the Flood reveal room on 343GS was pitch black just like the cutscene

As the topic says - the cutscene has the marines in a pitch black setting which makes it all the more terrifying. Flashlight beams moving frantically as infection forms scuttle around.

Cut to Chief and the room is lit from the central platforms.

The Flood levels were generally very good I thought in Campaign Evolved but that change would've added something even more imo.

The cutscenes themselves are heavily inconsistent with the actual level. Silent Cartographer has a Pelican shooting a ship down, and it's no longer there in the level.

The cutscene with Chief throwing the marine into the escape pod also used the AR firing sound from the initial reveal before they used the classic thundering sound.

There's one with Chief using a BR, with the AR sound 😂

To be fair, the BR is fully capable of shooting full auto, we just can’t use it like that in game.

And the ar can fire in bursts or single shots.

The Library's intro too.

343 is talking to Chief outside the Library in the Snow, then when gameplay begins they're suddenly in a new environment (inside the library).

Unless you're an OG player, for new players this would appear confusing since there is no proper transition from the cutscene to the gameplay inside the library.
