The community isn't owed anything, remember that. Just because you start a project, and people get interested, doesn't mean you're chained to it. They/we are not your clients. If life gets in the way, if you lose passion for it, move on. Every project is a learning process. The act of creating in itself is the purpose. Share what you can but don't feel trapped by it, that's unhealthy. Too often communities forget that people are doing this for free, in their spare time, just out of love for the game. Nobody is owed anything. In other words go relax, get your fire back, enjoy life a little and don't feel bad if this was an idea you tried but ultimately didn't finish. A lot of us have folders full of unfinished ideas!
I appreciate the release of this mod, however, you should continue slowly updating it to where you initially intended. It doesn’t matter if the mod takes years and remains a solo project since you want it to be more distinctive from base Halo 2 Anniversary. If you’re worried about introducing bugs and the amount of time it may take to fix them, then release the mod updates separately. For instance, someone could download Simple Halo 1.0 or Simple Halo 1.1 with the newly introduced custom HUD. Then 1.2 with a newly introduced simplistic weapon or two, 1.3 with a simplistic vehicle, 1.4 with stylized effects and a simple weapon, 1.5 with more simplistic vehicles, etc. If you become really ambitious and have more free time, then several years from now Simple Halo 2.0 could introduce another map. From then on, it would be just maps or new sandbox additions since the HUD, base vehicles, base weapons, and stylized effects would have already been created. Anyway, I look forward to trying out your mod and hope you continue modding Halo.
This is so cool. I remember seeing this in the showcase and thinking it was a really neat idea. Can't wait to play it when I get on my PC today! Will you be hosting any sort of Customs nights on it? If so, where can I keep up to date on that? Great work again! It's so unique looking and such a refreshing art style in 2024!
This is such a fun mod! A special request, can you enable the banshee bomb in this mod? It’s actually really easy to do, 343 has the banshee bomb already set up, it’s just toggled off. Maybe you can swap the toggle and push an update?
OPINION: Halo games need to have a more toned-down, simple artstyle as opposed to ultra-realistic. Halo should be designed to reliably perform crazy custom gametypes, lots of physics-related things, and higher player lobbies. This is what Halo needs to truly evolve and have a classic feel to it. To this day Halo 3's physics are still unmatched and that's a massive shame. Unreal Engine will ultimately be extremely graphically intensive to run and won't support the aforementioned. I would genuinely rather have a "Simple Halo" looking game as opposed to an ultra-realistic any day.
I’m still upset about how everyone overeacted to halo infinite’s gameplay reveal. The game is for xbox one and xbox series x, and it was pre-release footage so it was already subject to change before people cried about it on twitter and got the game delayed, and now we have a lot of cut content because they didnt have enough time to make the 3rd act with enough detail and polish to sayisfy the twitter people. Halo infinite couldve been a launch title for the xbox series x. The version we got was the xbox one version for like a year after launch. So why couldnt we just get the simple version with more missions, and they can add HD textures or whatever in an update?

"A lot of us have folders of unfinished ideas!"
Hearing that from someone else .... very inspiring. It's about striking the balance.
Happy you're releasing this, Bean! Hope you're doing well!
Making old halo look like new Halo? I sleep.
Making new halo look like old Halo? Real.
The colors and shading remind me of Wind Waker a little bit

Looking forward for what you start cooking up next!
YOOOO Lets gooo great work getting this done! Looks like a ton of fun my guy.
Considering it's just modded h2A, this is all I would need for another "classic game"

Hot take in 2016

Super cool! Tf2x Halo!

Lil bro has never played anything made before 2010. Sad.
@@Jes9119 lolll I was playing halo ce when you still had to get out of the hole kid
@@Jes9119I second that
And yet
Yeah and that's good
I don’t think it needs a more unique look, the simple look it has now is kinda beautiful honestly.
I’ll definitely try this, great job!🫡
Why was this made
Why were any of us made?
@ God’s grace I guess. Good point wiersandlines. You’ve given me a lot to think about.
You ever wonder why we're here?
