I wouldn't be surprised if that's stuff's in there, save for the overheating guns. They definitely seem to be trying to port a more modern game experience back to CE and then wiggle around to find the right level of "close" to CE. One advantage of this being campaign only is they don't have to tune it for multiplayer considerations.

There's a lot of polish I hope happens, just because stuff like that I think is going to make the biggest difference to feeling more like a Halo game and rather just "generic job we did in Unreal", even as this is clearly the cutting the teeth project for starting the next big project. I missed stuff like the chapter names and the like sorely. I was kind of hoping the additional content would be The Flood elements like Alpha Base and the like rather than prequel stuff (although maybe that's the fight above Reach from TFOR or the newer teamups from the novel Silent Storm? Could be cool.) but I'm here for any of it. The old game isn't going away so I'm more open to considered deviations.
