In the prototype revealed on YouTube, one campaign mission vertical slice can be found extremely polished and almost complete, with another playable though lacking polish. In the first mission, players play as a Mega Bloks representation of [[John-117]], on a mission to defend a UNSC base tasked with overwatching a Forerunner temple.
