There are some great opening missions in Bungie's Halo series.
The Pillar of Autumn in Halo: Combat Evolved, Cairo Station in Halo 2, and even Dawn in Halo 4 and Warship Gbraakon in Halo Infinite, but none marks the start of a sadder story than Winter Contingency in Halo Reach.
In this video, I analyse everything Winter Contingency's level design and gameplay to its story, setting and atmosphere, to try and explain why it's such a unique experience, while also drawing comparisons to Long Night Of Solace, Exodus, Lone Wolf and other missions in Halo Reach's campaign.
