    You are incredible! Every new video is better than the last!
    This feels like a war movie and I love it!!!! You seriously should have worked for Bungie 15 years ago making cutscenes with Joseph Staten😎
    The camera work in this is so good, makes the fighting feel gritty and intense.
    That was so cool seeing both sides fortify positions and start fighting. And the kamikaze Spectre destroying the Scorpion tank was nuts!!
    Keep up the amazing work, you and Vengeful Vadam (who makes the Halo 2 uncut mod) are keeping Halo alive for us OG fans and making it into so much more than it already was.

    The recoil from the Fuel Rod Cannon actually throwing that grunt back, the glowing Plasma scoring across the scorpion, that salute that the elites give each other before their brother goes out with a bang, hell even the brutes body language making it seem like it can't believe these idiots are having this much trouble, all those little things really make it feel like its a vicious and bloody street fight in those narrow streets of Old Mombasa, the exact kind of fighting I wanted to see more of as a kid.

    Aw man, this was was my dream back in the Halo 2 days, i was left wanting more, with what i saw at E3, with what was shown in the comics, i really felt empty.
    You even added Brutes, knowing that they are canon for Halo 3 ODST, i hope to see a Scarab soon, it doesn't matter if it's the one from Halo 2 or the one from Halo 3, after all there were two Scarabs in Halo 2, even being able to see the second one destroyed in one of the maps.

      Plus the spectre probably wouldn't completely disable the scorpion since the engines are in the rear and the rear treads are separate from the front, the tank could probably push itself up the street scaping the ground and still push through a barrier.

    This is really good. I have a note:
    The brute driving the shadow doesn't really ....belong? I know ODST Retcons the brutes as being a part of regret's fleet but that's going against everything we read in the books and according to the Bible that is Halo 2 and even the events of Halo 3.
    I would have added hunters in the battle somewhere, hopefully they show up.
    I really like how dark it is, that the smog of battle makes the whole alley feel more claustrophobic.
    I really appreciate the use of just Halo 2 models with a small amount of kitbashing. Halo 2 had the superior designs imo.
