▣ A MESSAGE FROM THE OT CREATOR

Well... here we are again.
Anyone who knows me probably isn't surprised that I ended up making another Halo OT. Halo has been a huge part of my life for well over two decades, so there was never much chance I was going to let this one pass by. I had the pleasure of creating the Halo Infinite OT, and when Halo: Campaign Evolved was announced, it felt only right to return for another tour of duty.

As with all of my OTs, I always try to approach each one a little differently. I never want to simply repeat the same format, so this time I leaned further into the UNSC dossier aesthetic to try and make the thread feel like an extension of the game's own presentation. Hopefully that comes across while you're reading it.

The original Halo remains one of my favourite games ever made. I still remember finishing it for the first time and then spending countless hours with friends trying to imagine what Halo 2 might be about. Back then we didn't have Xbox Live for Halo, so we'd meet up in games like Midtown Madness 3 while waiting for release day to finally arrive. Those are some genuinely great memories, and it's funny to think that all these years later we're still here, still playing Halo, and still excited for new adventures in this universe.

Putting this OT together was a lot of fun. While much of the information comes from official media and developer material, I particularly enjoyed recreating the later dossier panels and painstakingly cataloguing every weapon, vehicle and battlefield asset shown throughout the game. Those little details take time, but I think they're worth it. I've always believed an OT should feel like an extension of the game itself rather than just an information dump. If someone opens the thread, I'd like them to immediately feel like they've stepped into Halo's world.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and read through it. I also want to give a nod to all of the other OT creators, both the familiar veterans and the new faces. One of my favourite things about ResetEra is seeing the creativity people bring to these threads, and every time someone produces something unexpected it reminds me why I keep coming back to make another one.

My Collector's Edition has already arrived, so everything is ready to go. I'll be jumping into the campaign the moment Early Access unlocks, I'll be playing through the original missions first and then experiencing the new Operation: METEORITE missions, and once that's done... it'll probably be time for another LASO run and a fresh achievement hunt.

I hope you all enjoy Halo: Campaign Evolved as much as I'm sure I will.
