## Resource

The Gamertag Radio crew reviews Halo Campaign Evolved! Danny, Parris, and Riana break down the Unreal Engine 5 visuals, modern mechanics like sprint, and the brand new bonus prequel missions featuring Sergeant Johnson. Plus, they share platform performance details and discuss what this means for the future of Halo. Episode Highlights Visuals & Engine: Built in Unreal Engine 5 (4K, 60+ FPS) featuring improved visuals, richer sound, and added environmental details like wildlife. Modern Mechanics: Adds sprint, clamber, ground pounds, vehicle hijacking, and improved enemy AI. Rebalanced Arsenal: Weapons feel refreshed; the Needler and Needle Rifle are far more effective, while the iconic pistol remains strong. Bonus Prequel Levels: Set one year before the main story, these new missions omit Cortana, feature Sergeant Johnson, and support chaotic four-player co-op. Performance: Plays great on PC and ROG Ally X, but performance is poor on the original white ROG Ally. No Microtransactions: All cosmetics, such as alternate Master Chief skins, are earned strictly through gameplay.
