This mod would be really cool if all the gear used by Chief are in the Halo 3 artstyle but then once he makes contact with the Infinity, his armor and weapons change to the Halo 4 artstyle
Bro that’s actually how it shoulda been. Maybe the armour coulda stayed because there was a cannon reason for that. But everything else in the ship shoulda been the same from halo 3.
I actually wouldn't have a problem with Halo 4's art style if that's exactly how it was
Imagine beating Halo 3 on LASO and you get to unlock a Bungiefied version of the Dawn and Requiem levels.
Someone NEEDS to make a campaign mod ASAP, that has Chief starting the game in his Old Armor, Old Weapons, etc and has him upgrade to the new stuff when he reaches the Infinity.
I am gonna make something like that. It would have extra missons and weapons aswell. Problem is atm we can't edit biped models to be something like the halo 3 model. So we gotta wait for modding tools for halo 4 to do that. It make take some time.
This would fix the main issues with Halo 4, but give him the armor upgrade in Halo 5 instead.
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 isnt Halo 3 era chief armor a multiplayer unlock making it an asset?
tbh I have totally forgotten the armor for each game except 3...
Just give this mission the Halo 3 Weapons & UNSC vehicles, and the plot holes are fixed.
No need to change the Covenant vehicles & weapons to their Halo 3 counterparts, but I would change the covenant voices to that of Halos 2 & 3.
Not only that, but change Chief's armor back to the Mark VI permutation from Halo 2 and 3. Then when Chief reaches Infinity, he is given his new set of armor.

This is something the new Halos have been missing. The soundtrack in the newer ones have not been bad by any means whatsoever but it really doesn’t have many tracks that make you go “It’s been a long time but I still remember when this exact track played in the game” like the original trilogy did
True, true. I think 4’s soundtrack was really good, particularly Belly of the Beast and Revival, but 5’s was just completely forgettable to me. In fact, I listen to 4’s once in a while, more than any of the original trilogy. Still, good point, mate.
Tbf while I'm pretty critical of 343 and Halo 4 I loved this moment in particular; gave a hint of that vastness, grandeur, and mystery landing on Installation 04 instilled.
It's a pity they tossed Requiem into the sun, but I guess it wouldn't be a Halo game if we didn't end up taking an awesome, legendary construct brimming with potential riches of treasure and lore, and wreck the hell out of it...
maybe the main menu music from Halo 4, thats the only one i remember... well... thats just me that despite having Halo 4 on Steam i only watched the entire campaign in UA-cam like 6 years ago :p
Yeah I don’t think the new tracks are bad but halo tracks and gameplay always go hand and hand, but also not just that in halo the music has always decided everything and in halo 4 and 5 we get good tracks that play in the background but they don’t really control the scenes like the old halos did halo infinite so far has shown they kinda get it now. Like when chief gets a badass gun you don’t just play a badass track, you play a track that complements the situation and amplifies it. Best example is Kats death and warthog chase, also the lack of music with Nobel six fighting to the death.
I'm fairly critical of Halo 4 and 343, but this moment in particular (emerging from the caves to find Requiem's landscapes spread before you) is one of the highlights of the series, IMO
Halo 4 is my favourite. Loved playing it. Felt genuinely darker and more intense, more serious than the others.
@@86Fallowcp I think "mature" is the wrong word. Serious, maybe, but a tone that's dead serious doesn't automatically mean "more mature" which I think is the main thing that the new Halo games misunderstood when trying to recreate the atmosphere and feeling of the old games. A dash of humor and horror, as well as the human element of good Marine banter and snappy Cortana/Sgt. Johnson dialogue, made the originals unique and memorable.
Banana Montana Did you not play Reach? That game by far was the darkest and most intense out of all of them considering you play through the game already knowing how it’ll end
Every time I hear a marine speakin Halo 3 I get an instant urge to mute the game. Kindergarten level writing.
While having nostalgia attached to this game (it was my first Halo experience),
I cannot argue against the awesome dedication these modders have. In hindsight, it would've been cool starting with the old and progressing to the new aesthetic. Hopefully this mod will be fun for PC players despite the fact I'm stuck (like many others) on console.
Yup, slowly ease into things- i 💯 percent agree. Having the old BR, AR, and warthog before getting all the new stuff when infinity arrives, while the music also slowly becomes more and more like it was in H4.
I want to like this comment, but I don't want to ruin the 117 you already have
this would make sense from a lore standpoint, because technically we haven't been on a newer ship with the weapon advancements 4 years later of the Dawns armory. i wish it was the same for the armor too
Bro you’re forgetting about the spicy nanobots that Chief snorted before getting into the sleeping pod
oh shit yeah. never realised that. well done 343 for fucking up so badly
@@arandomyoutuber6634 343 should have ignored it as just a game/art style concession
I will never not stop and enjoy this area.
This area gave me hope that Halo 4 would at least have more Halo as fuck view points, that at least my eyes could enjoy the good old days, but they never did a view quite like this after.
@@TheShadowblast123 I still found it a nice looking game. The thing I loved about Halo 4 most was the sense of urgency.
@@MeddlerGhost oh no, that game was the best looking halo game, just not the most halo looking. Story wasn't too bad either. Gameplay.... oof
@@MeddlerGhost halo 4 was my favourite I think! Loved the campaign.
I liked the music 343 went with for this section. Had a ton more build up.
Yeah me too. It might be an odd opinion but I think halo 4 ost is pretty good
It was good music, but it practically ditched all of the previous soundtracks
Yeah it had that other worldly sound to it that’s hard to describe and it definitely suited the scene.
halo 3 to this day looks extremely nice on high settings. the smooth art style with the emphasis on bloom, it always stood out to me even coming from a 2007 game. everything just blended together nicely, idk how to describe it.
When I first saw it back in 2008, it was the most graphically amazing game I'd ever seen. I remember being in complete awe that they could make the light shine off of the plasma rifle at different angles depending on where you were facing. I'd never seen such dynamic lighting like that in a game before. I'm so glad my sister's then new boyfriend (now fianceé with 2 children) lended it to me as an excited 11/12 year old. Tbf I was expecting Halo to be a horror game as the only thing I had heard about Halo before then was of the flood. For a brief moment I was actually disappointed and turned off of the game because of the weird kiddie sounding dorito monkeys and the giant gorilla wookies that followed them around.
Even now I think it holds up nicely purely because of how balanced its arcadey look is with the realism. It's not trying to look too realistic but also benefits from nice textures, colours and animations. Compared to halo 2 it looks like a whole different series. Save for the humans, they look a bit weird. With the modern MCC and the graphics updates + mods it looks unreal, as if it was a small studio game made in 2021.
@@jameswilkes451 I totally agree, especially with the arcadey/realism balance you mentioned. I was recently looking at gameplay from original Xbox halo 2 and halo 3 and the difference is astronomical lol. It holds up today 100%

@@briangonzalez8514 what L? I can play any Halo game without wanting to punch my head and cry. That's a W in my book
I appreciate the sentiment but oddly enough the 343-era music fits so much better with this moment than some random track from Halo 3. Leaving that cave and seeing the huge towers with the awesome Requiem theme playing in the background is one of the most memorable moments in the Halo series
It would of been far better to have started with old Halo tunes on the Dawn. Crash land on the planet with a more disturbing whispering rendition of Finish the Fight. Have Master Chief stumble across dying scouts for the Infinity and have them be like... "In my dying breath.... I lay before a legend.". Just so players feel that warmth of old classic Halo and as you approach Requirems landscape Finish the Fight plays its iconic notes and leads into the normal theme.
I like Requiem's theme though! Great vid either way!
That's one hell of an accuracy cone for the assault rifle btw.😂😂
Honestly better. Now to fix the enemies and marine skins and possibly the worthog. And you’ve got yourself something actually more worthy.

@@ryanschmidt58 I think everything 343 has done has gone against the wishes of old bungie, my point is that halo doesnt need to reinvent the wheel, what was in 3 is the peak and they just need to build off of that. Everything was at its peak, custom games, community features, themes, music, characters, you name it. Not even reach was able to beat out 3 in most areas but it at least tried to expand on features present in halo 3. However 343 for the life of them cannot do this because they are fucking inept and every single halo game since reach has shipped and will continue to ship with less features and overall content.
thought this was a meme video and was waiting for a jackal sniper or something lol
No matter how much people dislike halo 4. I absolutely love it's graphic design. It's a beautiful game and it looked great even on the ol Xbox 360. That scene is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in the halo franchise
Funny, I don’t see micro transactions or creative bankruptcy anywhere
Everything is just so clean. I don't know how else to describe it. It's just, just, so beautiful.
I really enjoyed Halo 4, 343 imo did a great job taking someones ideas and making it thier own
Didn't know just adding in the Bungie era hud would make it so Bungie-esque
You forgot to have a phantom or spirit hover over with its shrill hovering sound.
isnt it so crazy how the music/sounds alone makes it so much more impacting
Halo 4 looked beautiful for an Xbox 360 title.
Halo wars music would be awesome as well! And someone is in the process of making Halo 4 look like a Bungie game I believe Ctrlaltdestroy is doing he’s tweeter feed has looked awesome lately converted almost all the guns from 3 and the player model for the arms it looks so good!
Bungie should have kept the Halo series.
You mean if Bungie cared? One of the key members recently said that they were gonna do something very similar to 343. I'm happy 343 has Joe back.
Considering that fact that 343 was basically just the part of bungie that decided to stay with microsoft I dont think there would be any differences. The artstyle and gameplay was already changing with halo wars, halo reach and halo anniversary.
Knowing current day Bungie, I’m glad they didn’t keep Halo
I have absolutely no idea why I started getting so many halo recommends but it's really made me want to go back and play all the missions start to end.
I think I'll go ahead and do that now
Unpopular opinion: Halo 4 is madly underrated and is actually really good
@@NO-FILTER-EXPERTwrong comment section, that's a discussion of halo 4 not halo 3's story
Alt title: If Halo 4 was actually good
If 343 transitioned the art styles from the old to the new when Chief linked up with the Infinity (including using the right art styles in the opening cutscene), I probably would have given Halo 4 an 8/10 instead of a 7/10. That, plus Chief saying “I thought we made a truce with the ELITES” at the beginning of the game as opposed to him saying “I thought we made a truce with the Covenant”
Or.....HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRUCE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR EXTERNAL LITERATURE
I mean tbf, they did make a truce with the Elites only. I would imagine the Covenant was pretty pissed at humanity still. Which is why we have the Banished now.
Wait, I realised I may have took your comment wrong. Did I read it the other way round?
Halo is about the music the feel and atmosphere oh my god i love that feeling so much its uplifting
That’s literally just what 343 did
Why is this so nostalgic, probably because it’s legit halo 3.5
Want to know what else would be cool? If people grew up and stopped begging for things like the trilogy. People ask for a change then when it happens they complain. It's like Fortnite paradox. They wanted a map and they got one and then they wanted the old one back. Grow tf people.
"Beautiful isn't it? Someone should take a picture."
I have to defend Halo 4 here a bit. The soundtrack in this very scene was one of the strongpoints for me. The whole first "alone on an alien world" chapter was Halo 4´s strongest asset. I loved how Alien the Prometheans were in the beginning.
Thank God 343 did it
My god this is so gorgeous. It’s like playing halo 3 for the first time seeing such an expansive world
Love that after all these years you can still hear the self destructing warthog before u turn the corner lol
Hot Take: Halo 4's music was severely underrated yet still a cool take on Halo music.
Not everything can be Marty O' Donnell
Didn't marty get screwed by Bungie after their departure? Also, some of the original Bungie crew stayed at 343i.
Yeah why did Marty get in trouble with bungie? He did so much and look how he's being treated
@DeadRat Productions
Because you clearly haven't played it lol. Big difference from watching gameplay then experiencing it yourself.
Tbh chief should've woke up in his old suit with the halo 3 hud and overtime have the player upgrade the armor. This would make sense and tie 3 and 4 a bit more smoothly.
You forgot the part where they remove 50% of the content and have you pay 60$ for a new story expansion that lasts 50 minutes and a battlepass that add one activity you will repeat for 300 hours until you go insane.
Bungie never had a battle pass or DLC stories for Halo (ODST is MAYBE a slight exception, but as a 6-hour campaign that brings a new game mode as well, I don't count it).
It seems natural not artificial
I love how sci-fi everything used to look. Now thins and structures looks like COD.
Halo begins on Earth, halo turned into what you like. It's back to the old days bb, also cry more lol
Shows you how much music and art direction goes focusing on the wonder of the forerunners and having majestic mysterious music back it up bungie knew what they were doing
That assault rifle was too accurate to be made by Bungie lmao. I'm still torn about how I feel of Halo 4's campaign. I loved the Chief and Cortana moments. But I hated how they had us watching the epic moments instead of actually doing them.
Is this the one where chief fell in love with cortana? That was the cringiest rubbish i had seen
If they did it wouldn't look like this
I don't see....whats the big deal lol. Looks like halo 4 to me. Dont know what 343 did to upset people 🤷♂️ oh well
If bungie made halo 4 = Halo infinite
So it’s pretty much the same thing, but different weapon design and music…343 haters right now ”it’s perfect!”

Halo 4’s art style is
You just showed me halo 4 with a gun mod
I'm so confused, you swapped out the AR model to the Halo 3 one and looked at a pillar in awe. Why are people so amazed at this.
Because they fail to understand Bungie decided to throw their IP to the wind so they could have "creative freedom" whie ironically signing on with Activision. They keep acting as if 343 is this evil company that somehow stole Halo from them in an attempt to ruin it.
i assume its because the music used was different in this version (i believe bungie's halo 3 music), and a lot of people perfered it
inside the forerunner structures would be the cartographer choir 😂
If bungie did, exactly the same then it was a masterpiece right?
Ah the fanboys ...
If bungie made halo 4, halo would just be filled with a ton of dlcs costing large amounts of money
Uh, what's the difference? I haven't finished the game yet, but I've passed this part and this is pretty much what I remember.
Looks like H3 weapon models and without that annoying lightning bloom.
This little bit completely blew my mind when I was 12, I was blown away by the scale and detail of the sky box
typical blind Bungie-of-old worship.
Yes, let's ignore all of the issues with Halo 2 and 3 and Reach and act like everything was just fine (with no one complaining) until 343 came along and now everything is crap - that is not revisionist history at all - NOPE! /s
Ya know… every play through of halo 4 I still hear that exploding warthog after all these years
I love the bungie era games as much as the next guy, but if they made halo 4 it would probably be like Destiny. I'd rather have 4 that we got with all of its numerous issues.
No it wouldnt, Destiny was only like destiny because of the deal they made with Activision and the employees that left because of said deal
@@Titan13335 Didn't they say they went to Activision because Microsoft were intrusive and restrictive. Who says they would not have left anyways.
Halo would of been a lot better off having been a series of games that had a trilogy without a sequel. Microsoft should of just let Bungie make Destiny.
343 did rly well on forerunner texture and “human weapons sound effects
Halo 3s ar and br sounds like a toy gun for some reason…
It's crazy how small details like this make such a huge difference. It's why fans are so divided, because even though it is "Halo" you don't feel the same way Bungie made you feel about the game. Here's hoping 343 finally understands with Infinite.
these 37 seconds have more of a sense of wonder than the entire infinite micro transaction team's existence
I was waiting for "this cave is not a natural formation"
H3 had its time and place this mod is cool but really doesnt fit
What does that even mean? Clearly your time and place with halo started at halo 4 😂. That’s why you commented that...you don’t know any better. That comment you said made no sense. Halo will always be what bungie started and 343i clearly doesn’t like that.
That’s like saying spongebob had its place and time but now he’s a banana.
Well if you didn't know Bungie was originally going to make Halo 4 before they instead made Reach.. But, Bungie back then was starting to fall as the company that people thought we loved, after their lawsuit with Microsoft and then losing the rights to Halo and selling the franchise to Microsoft.
I'm kinda glad bungie didn't make it especially for the story because if bungie made it the story they probably woudnt break down the chiefs character. Also I actually like the new weapon sounds and some of the designs not the halo 4 Br tho
