Plot is the major topic here

: Look see here now. Why not? You're not really working anyway.

It takes 9 mins for them to talk about that. Talking about how saving the world gets silly so they tried to bring the saving of the friend (Cortana) into it to shift the focus and making MC more of a character.

Then they go over the struggle with the Promethean enemy design. Unclear focus, what the priorities were. Defined boundaries between other enemy types.

At 11:46 he mentions one of the mission designers putting a Watcher with some Hunters - I honestly don't remember that happening in the game.

12:18 - they talk about the Flood not coming back. Story rules the day. As an enemy 343i considers them 'exhausting and monotonous.' If they had brought the Flood in, Holmes says they would have done some 'major reinvention.'

Hold your tongue, RC... hold your tongue...
