Well, apparently its not in the leaked version according to multiple sources... So yeah, its gone. =/
Just like 343!
What the fuck is this?

Don't worry, he doesn't either.
Hard to say. Probably not very high if they don't want to confuse the general public who was convinced that the Chief is the only II alive, it might also depend on how "special" they want him to appear in the games - they won't let you wear his armor, so maybe they also wouldn't want more oversized Spartans stealing the spotlight.
The same point there is in replaying campaign, because that's essentially what Spartan Ops is. It's not meant to be an infinitely replayable mode.

This was my exact line of thinking when I saw that theater mode was cut. I really liked theater mode, but if its inclusion meant compromising the campaign's visuals, I'm not too upset.

Ryan, why haven't you been on XBL for a while? I miss playing Halo and listen to you attempt to cook a steak. :lol

I think you get more XP doing SOs than Campaign, but that could just bullshit Elzar whispered in my ear one drunken night.
And there's always those weekly/daily/monthly challenges.

Well I would imagine 343 said, "you know what? Fuck campaign theater! Let's cut it and work on Grifball instead"
I guess that is true, but I did really enjoy scoring in firefight and campaign.
I hope they are still in there.

I did as well, a little friendly competition between co-op partners, or trying to beat your friends' score on Firefight.
My brain is melting. I blame Elzar.

It's what they told me and Tunavi at RTX, but paid us off in drink coupons not to talk about it.

I just watched the Haven IGN walkthrough and it looks like the map no longer has the incredibly harsh, bright lighting. I mean, the map is still well lit, but it doesn't seem to have the lighting the would wash over the environment like before. =(

The way everything has been handled since the announcement trailer has been ridiculous. Who is making all of these marketing decisions?
Confirmed.
Even just last week while playing through Halo 3 campaign with Elzar & Co. I really wanted to go back in theater and capture some moments. Sadly you can't even upload Halo 3 and ODST screenshots to Waypoint. No campaign theater mode would be bullshit van de bovenste plank. They've got an entire disc to fit campaign and theater on, use it dammit.

Looks the same as the E3 build to me.
This made me laugh.
If it is gone, I'd really like to know the reason. I know if they did cut it, it wouldn't have been a decision that was made lightly.
They used some sort of recording tool to show off campaign in vidocs so they have something. What limits them from making the tool available at retail?

I said "I imagine..." which is to say, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there's very little business case for campaign theatre. I certainly won't miss it and I imagine—given my experience with a lifetime of Halo—most people in the Halo community won't miss it either.
Multiplayer theatre mode had a lot of compelling applications, but campaign theater is something that adds very little to the game. Who wants to watch other people play through the campaign, but not from their perspective? Who wants to watch themselves play through the campaign again? Some, certainly you, but not many. It's such a fringe desire to go poking around campaign theatre.
I tried it back then and I enjoyed it to some degree, but I enjoyed it like anyone enjoys something novel. Looking back, it's an unnecessary toy that distracted development from making Halo: Reach a better game.

Hmm, I may be crazy then.. Just the lighting in the sky didn't seem to be blinding and wash over things anymore.
Ok yeah it still seems to be there, but it also seems to be tuned down a bit while you are in the middle looking out.
Been a little burned out on all my games, plus been out of town on my days off for the past couple months. However I'm home all day today and tomorrow. Might play some Minecraft or something light.

343,
Halo 4 is not Charmin Ultra. Less is not more.

What groups am I forgetting now? Who didn't get something they like cut?

What got cut from Forge? Admittedly there wasn't much truly valuable added, but nothing was cut.

I still don't understand...WHY 343, WHY?!?!?!?
R.I.P.
This also pissed me off. They just released the iPad 3 in March, and already it is obsolete. SLAP TO MY FACE!

That would be me.
Don't forget Grifball! Grifball is true Halo.
Yep. No more mongoose tracks.
guys over at halopanoramahub.com are PISSED, for shame 343
Everyone in that picture that is still unspoiled better set communication permissions to Friends Only asap.
I suspect the Big Team Battle Community wants to play more than just Infinity Slayer.
At least he can't tease you by sending you a link to his campaign playthrough film.
Yeah, but they should be happy that 80% of the maps are designed for them.
