WARNING: CONTAINS SEVERAL SPOILERS
CAMPAIGN
Cairo Station
The campaign begins on a UNSC space installation called Cairo Station (also the name of the first level). After an armory officer informs the player of the Mk. VI armor, and a small ride with Johnson, the Chief, in body armor, walks out with Sergeant Johnson, dressed in a white uniform, into a room filled with camera drones and cheering marines. When the admiral is met, something funny happens between Chief, Johnson, and Cortana. The Admiral also awards Johnson a medal. I noticed that Johnson is currently wearing a purple heart medal, meaning that he was injured in previous combat. The Admiral has a purple heart medal as well, and a Congressional Medal of Honor, which is worth noting. The medal Miranda Keyes recieves is for her father Jacob Keyes, who was lost in a Flood attack. The beginning cutscene ends at 3:30.
The second part of the video is at the end. Cairo station was borded and Master Chief held off the Covenant forces. They get report of a bomb and eventually find it in a room full of Covenant troops, mainly elites. Watch what happens after Chief exterminates the Covies.
By the Way, the elite in the gold armor is Thel Vadam, the soon-to-be Arbiter. He is being punished for being a supposed heretic to the Covenant. The grunts can be heard screaming "heretic."
The mission Outskirts is one of my favorite. The beginning cutscene is great, and was originally supposed to be something different. The original opening cutscene follows.
The deleted cutscene (which I think Bungie should have used) fits in right after some familiar dialogue from the published scene.
The level outskirts is so great and so extensive, that I might make a whole post about it, so I might explain it another time.
I will get into more detail about Halo 2 when I can, and may update this post with more information.
