Real Halo VR - the Contractors Update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Halo in VR has eluded us for ages. But Contractors new update basically adds Halo VR as perfectly as possible. With Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo Reach maps included. Covenant weapons in VR, spartan armor in VR, it is all there. I never thought contractors would come back with another custom content update, but boy did they. And it makes contractors the place to be for Halo in VR. It felt so much like classic Halo matchmaking.

God, I miss Halo so much. I stopped playing midway through Halo 4 cuz I just couldn’t stay engaged with it anymore, the last true good halo game was most definitely Reach.
I have yet to play Infinites multiplayer, but based on everything that I’m hearing it doesn’t seem to be worth it.
I hope one day I’ll get to go back to Halo and actually enjoy myself like I used to back when I was a kid…
God I’m old ;w;
I did the same exact thing. What’s sad is Infinites multiplayer is very good. It feels like what halo 4 should have been. But it’s been an entire year and there’s still no forge, only like 4 maps total, and no co op campaign. 343 is just asleep at the wheel even though they actually made a good halo game for the first time in years.
Pinning for further discussion
@@habie147 forge might be coming soon, but it’s been nearly a year and the content for Infinite is still such a pathetic trickle. I still can’t believe how hard they dropped the ball with it :(
@@habie147 oh god I’ve been noticed! what do I do?!
Um, uhh…!
*does a lil jig*
@@habie147 it is very disappointing what they did with Halo. They had a game with multiplayer that was enjoyable across the board, but they decided to not do anything with it. Imagine how big Halo could be right now had they actually decided to put any work into the game post-launch with the amazing base they had to work off of. I want to believe they still can, but what they have shown so far doesn't look very promising for the future of Halo Infinite and Halo as a brand itself.
I love the fact that the mod devs correctly realized that the characters see the reticles in universe. Half of the guns in Halo don't have an optic or usable sights because every enlisted person has a chip in their head that shows them some variation of the HUD. Every time a game mods in Halo guns they always miss this part and they never feel good to use because of it.
I absolutely adore Smart-Link in Halo, like that reticule is straight up just there wherever you're pointing the gun, like a laser sight but only on your eye. It's why the front cowling on the magnum is so huge
Not a chip in their head, it's in their helmet or visor. As the other guy said, Smart-Link syncs the weapons to the helmets to relay weapon position and stats like ammo
Honestly did not know that and thought it was weird the reticle was popping up like that. Thank you for educating me
Not quite. they all have physical backup sights. the bulky parts at the front of the assault rifle and magnum are just the smart scope components. They have iron sights underneath. you can see this in the Reach Magnum.
The Halo infinite design of the AR actually has it so the ammo counter component has a little piece that sticks over the front cowl of the rifle, which implies it can double as an optic.
I think they actually do have chips in the back of their head too. At least some do.
The level of mod support is really going to be the thing that helps separate contractors from being “that one game that isn’t Pavlov”
Pavlov can do all of this
@@birdyrules nope they have limits
@@sammythecat4407 I've played great star wars death star zombies on Pavlov pc
@@birdyrules It can do all of it poorly. Pavlov has bad gun handling and is generally janky. Contractors is solid and the guns feel great. Pavlov really should just fade away naturally at this point, it's like Onward, showing its age in a huge way.
@@vgaportauthority9932 Pavlov pc plays great idk what ur on ab. Cod zombies is a blast
I'm really glad the developers have given the tools so the modding community can go wild. I've always preferred contractors gameplay, the problem has alway been player counts. At least for now that problem has been fixed
I'm sure player count will be up for awhile. And with it being a payed game there be more like teens and stuff playing instead dof little kids. I love Pavlov and stuff on the quest but genuinely small kids have brought most of the fun from Pavlov out.
Of course a bot comments here.
Seems like the player count doubled since the release of the new update. I use to find like 10 pages of games and now it's like over 20 pages of games. Steam player count has def increased by a lot. I remember it was like 30-60 players on steamcharts and now that number has went up to 150-200 players.
Mm you like that? You like when developers give you the tools
@@VT-tz5bm ?
It'd be super sick to get VR halo campaigns. Imagine how mind blowing that'd be
Imagine reliving the feeling of the first time you step out of that life pod and turn around looking up in, awe at the Halo ring in vr
@@jumpemwithkindness well get to work bud, thats all i can say, start working on it or start paying people. its not something thats going to get done unless we rally up and make this desire known.
@@moviemaker2011z I unfortunately can't as I do not have the hardware nor talent to create such a thing also I'm poor as fuck so I can't pay anyone for it but one day I might be able to
@@jumpemwithkindness that gives us 2 things in common, I have no skill though I would like to learn how to, and I am also as you say "poor as fuck".
@@jumpemwithkindness more importantly though, imagine the levels requiring you to FLY... or just the ability to use vehicles. That would be either A) the best thing ever... or B) sensory overload causing sickness and possible harm via falling or worse.
Habie is like a sign of a good week. I don’t know how to describe it but its always an incredible omen
But he posts every week
@@jairbeltran3402 exactly;p
@@jairbeltran3402 yeah I know what I said
My dad has let us be evicted and now we are homeless.
@@jairbeltran3402 some say the one week he doesnt post is the day the world ends
Fun fact: In the lore of Halo, that's how reticles work when you have a Mjolnir helmet on. Because the suit links with the gun's sight, that's why there is no "true ironsights" in Halo, because it automatically zooms in on the gun's internal camera.
I actually tried this myself in VR and yes its as good as it looks and feels. Love the people who made this.
Is it easier to see the reticles? Does this video look zoomed out from FOV and it being VR controls?
I know them, thanked them, and kill them in Halo VR now and again. Come join it's a blast.
How can I find it on the contractors game in quest 2. DONI download a mod and if so how
@@SYSTEMSBREACH do you have extra chromosomes? you literally do exactly what he does
Basically the reason I got a vr headset was because of Habie's videos, every single one brings me more joy.
Habie is honestly one of the few youtubers who makes me openly laugh out loud to his videos. He is also the main reason I'm gonna be getting a VR headset soon, I'm so excited for that and the many more brilliant videos to come!
He’s great
2:53 "of all THREE Halos."
unimaginably based
I look forward to watching these videos every week lol

@@liamdean9410 HEY You should make Pavlov videos
I have a pavlov Creator discord You just gotta make a channel
@@ItsJustCannon thinking about uploading my snd games but I don’t always have the best kd lol
@@ItsJustCannon I’m using this channel for uploads
Dude is honestly my favourite content creator rn. Just seems so natural and unforced, but still so funny
What’s awesome about the reticles is that it’s pretty much lore accurate if memory serves
Just the first 10 seconds already made me laugh, this is why im subscribed
I was afraid nobody else noticed
Best rhythm song ever invented
Don't hate on Hudson Mohawk, he made the watch dogs 2 soundtrack which is one of the best game soundtracks ever. (The best is outer wilds, which is also the best game ever)
Habie you are one of the best parts of my Saturdays. Thanks for putting these out man!
"during the intro, I could tell he was shooting to the rhythm of the song and asked him to stop. AITA?"
"Of all three halos" nice subtle dig
"Everyone we love will die one day" You had me crying Habie!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! Halo was my main game too so I am really excited about this.
Just got into the radius on quest 2 - its sick 😂
Dude me too it’s pretty amazing
Me too, can’t wait to get home to play it and contractors
Got it from a recent humble bundle too. Just a few bucks is a steal and I can't wait to play it when I have time
Bro I just got into the radius and saw this 😂 downloading the mod and radius now
i played the beta a couple months back, and i was surprised at how good it looked for the quest. i'm still sticking w/ the pcvr version but that's purely bc that's where my main save is, but dang i may get it on quest for when im out and about
bro runscape and halo 3, those were the days man. subbing just for seeing those here!
Clicking on habie notifications instantly is the greatest way to spend my Saturday

the START OH MY GOD
God, the nostalgia from this. I love Halo with my everything. I wish 343 would do something other than whatever they’re doing. But this will work for now. Great content keep up the good work!
I wish 343 would go back to CE's and 2's roots, simplify the graphics, focus on couch co-op, local mp, and original Live style online play. Basically the opposite of what they've been doing.
Why am i feel that im the only one who love infinite, i think he’s fun like the old ones
@@eZnogoud the only thing I don’t like about infinite is the lack of content and the fact they’re trying to make it more competitive I just want a nice fun game not a sweat competition, I actually think it has the best gameplay of all the halos and I grew up with halo 2
@@eZnogoud i think infinite's a pretty cool guy, he kills the aliens and doesn't afraid of anything
@@rainacap I agree, the main thing I don't like about 343's halo games is the fact that the games were made way more competitive when it (in my opinion) wasn't meant to be.
I tried it last night and couldn't stop playing. This is too fun.
I like how you said “all 3 halos” at the 2:58 mark
"Took the maps from all three Halos."
Habie gets it. There are only three Halo games.
excellent video!! (i have watched it in its entirety)
Sure
Agreed
Same
I speed ran it
I know right (also have watched it in it's entirety)
Playing this update with halo weapons in vr is the best experience I’ve ever experienced it’s like being transported into your all time favorite game
You genuinely made me laugh out loud twice during this video, so I finally subscribed.
I played this mod last night thought I’d never play halo again just because I don’t have Xbox would never buy. But I got VR and the nostalgia PLAYING THIS AND THE FRESHNESS OF SOMETHING NEW THAT WAS OLD WAS FUCKING AWESOME
Really hope Pavlov does something to get more players in, it's a shame having only 500ish people on a day.
It's cool, because the HUD in Halo works like these reticles. The Helmets and even Marine helmets have a display in them that projects the reticle to where the gun is pointed.
Ok, where's my Call of Duty 4 in VR ?!
Contractors is your answer
THE CBAT INTRO GOES SO HARD
Hey habie, just wanted to say I love your chaotic upload "schedule". Everytime you upload its like getting a surprise gift from friend. never change. See you on the flip side smooth brain.
My guy, it is the same day of the week, at the same time. There is no chaos. I’m almost on a full year streak of every Saturday at 12:00 EDT lmfao
@@habie147 Your subscribers are so smooth that they can't detect patterns they've been exposed to for a year straight lol
@@habie147 holy ballz your right. God youtube sucks at notifying me xD time to shave and polish my head so it's a smooth as my brain. 👨🦲
THIS GAME IS THE GODDAMN GOAT bro I swear to god, the accessibility of the mods it makes me so happy i can finally get to play this type of content but also makes me so mad every other game has such reliability on pc to handle ports and mods. Like christ this game is so good and I have so much respect for it and hope it has a long life just to stick it to the other games that make a mockery of the quest and its capabilities
Ah dude the opening to odst now you got me wanting someone to mod an odst flood zombie mode, that would be goated but I imagine it's too niche for people to make and I know I wouldnt be able to
Imagine firing like that for 2 years
i recognised the first shots rhythm immediately, i cant escape that song
First off, amazing video as always.
Second
there is a blade and sorcery wand mod with gesture controls and amazing combat. You have to play it The mod was made by lyneca who has made countless other fantastic mods.
I have had a horable day I just lost my friend group and your video just made my day ceep up the amazing content
You never fail to make my morning amazing! Keep up the good content!!
The beginning caught me off guard and now I feel like I need to know more. 😂😂
I can finally play as John Halo
Bruh i'm sweating the fuuuck of out leagues on old school right now and that asmr clip got me good
Has anyone else wondered just how hard Halo's guns would recoil to a normal human?
Not really, the UNSC soldiers use them
Not much harder than for the Spartans. The marines use them, and all the guns are using real calibers.
@@noimageavailable2934 I mean realistically, if a 500kg spartan can't fully control the recoil, it should kick like a mule to an average person.
@@salembendeck game balance probably
Pretty sure the ar is just a 308. So itll have recoil but it’s manageable
2:54 "all 3 halos" based
This is incredible love your vids(:
Keep uploading these videos, Habie. I've been using my VR space for storage since February, and every time you upload something like this, it gives me just enough motivation to clear out just a little more of the clutter and get just a little closer to logging back in.
Man, I have played SO MUCH VR in the last 2 months just because of videos like this.
Thank-you, Habie.
This community is fire. The map at the left. The Pixel Gun 3D one at 1:45. I ported this map from the original game and in like 10 days I’m at 10K downloads and 3k subs on it. Just for an arena with melee.
Respect and now create maps like "cold of duty" he created 1 to 1 modern warfare maps and black opps maps. He is briljant !
@@michelverheijen6643 He actually port them😅. And I won’t post cod maps. There are too much cod maps compared to others things. I’ll probably port cod guns but that’s all.
@@LoulouNoLegend maybe because call of duty was the number 1 fps. But there are a lot missing maps. Shame. You leave it with a circle map bahahaha
@@michelverheijen6643 The map I did was just a test. I don’t even know why it has became popular. But I also posted the Nuketown version of Pixel Gun 3D
@@LoulouNoLegend nice! Must check it out. Keep on creating. We need good modders!
I like how he tried to put a magazine into the needler, we all know it just needs a good shake
What's annoying is Infinite is so good now, which is really annoying cause everyone still thinks it sucks...
It still sucks, what are you smoking?
Your keywords were "... everyone still think it sucks." New is great until everyone hates what you've done to the shotgun you scumbags.
Homie, I have been waitin for Halo in VR like this for a hot minute. Funnily enough I knew it would be through you. Thanks for the dope vid
id like to see them add a proper melee combat system
I can't believe Halo Multiplayer is available on VR, and yet I don't have VR. My desire is GREAT!
Seems like a very nice firing pattern, i wonder if you could use that rhythm for anything else
So funny looking when you pull out the energy sword and just start robotically karate chopping like fuckin' buzz lightyear. XD
0:11 into the video i hear the reddit guy song
Had A BLAST playing with y'all on stream, that covenant carbine is DIRTY it helped me carry us twice xD Love ya Habie, thanks for appreciating and shouting out my comradery and I'm honored to have played with ya. -Send It Sideways
Habie, let’s cross swords on stream ;)
DUDE what i would give for a *halo 2 VR campaign*!!!!
That's why I prefer Contractors over Pavlov, the mods are insane. I spent a few hours playing in my alll time favourite maps from CoD (from MW1 to BO2) in VR and it was enough for me to be more than happy.
Also gunplay is like 200x better
That pause where you explained the time skip,,,just got ya my sub, legend
It's pretty cool. Still don't like what they did to the recoil in the last major updates though.
Could you explain it to a new player? Recently joined in and loving it, but I have heard some of the older players during matches groan about the new update
I saw a lot of people click-baiting this as an actual halo VR. I’m glad that you actually put in the effort to mention it was a mod.
Wow! I didn't think Halo load outs would be in this game! Thanks for sharing the info. I am downloading it right now lol! Contractors is the ultimate COD and Halo VR that we wanted!
I never comment, but THAT INTRO WAS SO PERFECT I HAD TO AHAHAHHA. Genuinely my favorite creator right now, the best sense of humor I've ever seen. Big goals
I've been playing this none stop all the memories of hoping on halo 3 on those weekend late nights. With the buds came back in an instant of playing this I haven't experienced this much joy in a long long time.
Yooo, you just pushed me to buy contractors,
Best
Purchase
Ever
I haven’t had this much fun in a multiplayer in over 10 years. The guys coming in for the nostalgia gives the voicechat this special kinda vibe , feels like 2000’s trash talk all over again and its all fun and good.
Thanks for informing all of us that this treasure of a game has been made. I fucking love whats possible in this new update.
I watched your video and redownloaded Contractors... Spent the last 2 hours playing halo mods and I have to thank you for making this video. VR hasn't felt so much fun in awhile since this.
Love hearing someone who loves halo as much as me and appreciate how deeper this is over the Pavlov version. Literally getting comments about how Pavlov did it first. It’s never about who did it first, it’s about who did right. That’s who is remembered.
Nice video
Pavlov gets so much wrong, Bam VR was infinitely better in just about any respect. Shame it somehow died, a bit too early.
I think this might be a first stream ill tune into, you are such a good content creator and now I wanna get contractors because pavlov shack is infact almost dead. Love the vids man!
first 10 seconds = best rhythm i’ve ever heard, might have to add it to a certain playlist
Would still appreciate the Runescape ASMR video lmao
He really got us in the opening 😂
Things like this makes me A, INCREDIBLY NOSTALGIC, And B really want a vr headset
habie trying to stuff a magazine into the needler is the funniest thing
I bought Contractors on Steam today after watching this video and subbed to all the halo mods. Man what an experience!
the fact that he didn't know how to reload the needler is great, because of course no-one would ever know how to reload that shit
Absolutely love contractors. I first got it because it's quest/PC crossplay and my friend only has a quest.
It makes me really happy to see this custom content update. Especially because it's been done REALLY well using Unreal Engine's built in modding support. You just make it like you're making an Unreal Engine level/character/weapon and it's in the game.
OH MY FFFFFFF AHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS INCREDIBLE THEY LOOK SO GOOD!!!!! I need to get back on this game yesterday for this! And it’s IN GAME?!! Ascension! It looks right!!
6:07 "I just wanna be carefree again..." LMAO
This video has singlehandedly given the devs of Contractors VR my money. Thank you.
i love habie so much. this guy is literally the best youtuber. his uploads always make my day and i always laugh or smile or some sort whenever i watch him. he’s so great and i’m so glad other people get to witness his amazing content as well
I really hope habie starts posting more longer vids on UA-cam. I, no lie, keep finding myself rewatching his old videos and waiting for his new posts lmao
As much as I missed the RuneScape asmr, I’m so glad I discovered this actual masterpiece. I have Pavlov and wasn’t even aware of the halo mods, but from the looks of it contractors takes the concept of real halo and finally brings it to life in the most realistic way we’ll get for a long time. I miss halo so much too and after halo 4 and 343 that longing has only gotten worse, so this is such a surprise and uplift in my expectations.
Good old cook's assistant, you need like an egg, flour and milk, most memorable quest of the game
Honestly at the beginning I imagined myself whiffing all my shots and being so mad that I threw the gun at them instead 😂
That rephrase saved you from the wrath of thousands of bored people with time in their hands
Now we just need halo in it's entirety in contractors :)
It’s amazing to me how consistently Habie produces the greatest UA-cam content every week
Did I really just get rick rolled by a gun?
cbatted
Started playing thanks to you and your videos, and have made so many friends!!! It’s been such a fun experience, and I’m addicted to a game I barely played when I first bought it months ago. Thanks for bringing this into the spotlight so more people are playing even now!! Can’t wait to see even more cool modded content, like maybe gears of war vr and more!
tehe fact that habie threw away his needler instead of reloading it. just like the actual game, aswell, as far as i have seen, thank you. for not using the beam rifle, its so overpowered.
I had such a good time with this update. Will definitely have notifications on for that RuneScape ASMR video.
Now that they basically have battlefront in contractors as well, I’m sold
I've owned Contractors since Christmas 2020 and have NEVER booted it up. That is changing thanks to this video.
I love that he said all 3 Halo games mad respect for that.
Wasn't expecting to have an existential crisis today. Thanks, habie.
