Hope to see more of that, as well as good ol' human killing on some of the Arbiter levels. Can't wait!!!

    Me and my friend love Halo: CE Re-balanced. I love all the changes you did in it. Especially the level changes and revamp scenarios to how they should've been. My favorite level you changed was Assault On The Control Room, especially near the end with the marines pushing up with you and ODST's dropping in! I also love the tweaks you did to the weapons, from extra melee damage on the needler to making the assault rifle more viable at longer ranges. As well as all the cut content you added in really freshens up the game. The only thing i didn't really care for was some of the secret cheats you added on the level Halo. There's no other cheats like this through at the rest of the campaign that I'm aware of, but it doesn't really hinder the experience because these cheats are optional. The only other thing I thought was kinda meh was the optional upper areas on the Silent Cartographer. While its cool to go up there and fight some enemy's, it just kinda felt like a time waster. In general tho, it's very hard for me now to go back and play vanilla CE compared to what you achieved in your re-balanced. I can't way for Halo 2: Re-balanced to come out and to play it!

    • @tpd1864blake
      @tpd1864blake Рік тому +3

      There's a ton of "cheats" or secrets in the his CE mod. There's at least 1 secret on each level, but most of them only show up on Legendary. For example: on Pillar of Autumn, if you go through the door that Marines enter the cafeteria through, you'll find an empty rocket launcher on the shelf. If you continue through that hall to backtrack, there's a Vanguard and an energy sword for you to grab. All throughout the level there's rocket launcher ammo, about 6-8 rockets in total. And if you interact with two of the panels in the bridge, you open a blast door that's hiding a heavy grunt and his fuel rod gun. I've spoiled most of the secrets for the first level, although there's some more later on (mostly just empty weapons that you can find ammo for by continuing on or backtracking). It's mainly for repeat playthroughs if you want to explore around to find different weapons and stuff to tackle encounters differently.

    I'm going to write all of my observations for each scene down here
    0:00 Nothing interesting in the first 15 seconds, all seen in the vanilla game.
    0:17 The first thing I notice is the new health bar above the shield, at full health. It looks to be Metropolis. On the right there is a white grunt, probably a new Ultra variant. The player gets hit by the Elite and his shield is fully depleted and he loses 3 bars of health, so melee is pretty powerful but not as bad as before, seems to be about CE difficulty.
    0:19 The player now has 2 bars of health, the health bar is now red and the plus icon is now a triangle shape with something on the left. The normal shield icon on the shield bar is now a triangle as well. Since the bar is purple these might be the icons for the Arbiter and not because of low health. An elite is soaring through the air overhead, but the brute shot cancels his acceleration and propels him backwards, maybe the brute shot has more knockback now.
    0:22 The player is fighting some drones and honor guards in the mission Regret. I think the drones are new to this area. The range of the shotgun's pellets seems to be increased.
    0:24 Flying section of The Arbiter. There's a new crosshair for the Banshee that better shows the recharging of the fuel rod shot.
    0:26 Now in Quarantine Zone, the player is using a human turret to shoot at the Enforcer during the boss battle.
    0:31 In the courtyard, using the battle rifle to shoot some sniper jackals on the roof. They don't shoot at the player so either it's a lower difficulty or their reaction speed has been slowed down.
    0:35 Some indoor space during the civil war section. The player uses the carbine to destroy the Jackal's shield and a plasma grenade goes off on the right.
    0:37 The player supercombines with the needler to kill the carrier form without any infection forms surviving. This was similarly seen in the CE rebalance.
    0:40 A Hunter is attacking the player, who is fighting back with the needler. Seeing as the needler gave bonus damage in the CE rework, I suspect a similar thing is in play here.
    0:43 The player is shooting sentinels with a sentinel beam. The beam is fired until it overheats, and the beam automatically locks onto targets. A similar burst fire weapon was used for sentinel captain's beams in his old H3R.
    0:45 Shooting a captain brute with a sniper. It looks like he throws a plasma grenade then fires a brute shot I think, or maybe it's a flare equipment.
    0:46 Rolling down the bridge with a tank, shooting at a Phantom which is blown up. Phantoms are usually invincible in the base game which means they are now destructible.
    0:52 Dual wielding a brute plasma rifle and an SMG. The brute plasma rifle seems to fire in bursts now, or maybe the player is just pacing his shots.
    0:53 Dual wielding two needlers at an elite flood which now has shields.
    0:55 Dual wielding a plasma pistol and a pistol. The crosshair for the plasma pistol zooms in upon overcharging the shot. The player is shooting at either a ranger or an ultra elite. The ranger is usually seen in the level but never inside the station.
    0:58 Dual wielding two brute rifles shooting a group of drones.
    1:03 A lot of powerups are seen. In the middle are 3 overshields. On the table on the right are some weapons, a medkit, and a weird purple thing which might be a Covenant medkit. On either side of the table are some sort of Covenant technology. It may be a healing station or a shield recharging thing, I'm not sure.
    1:05 A couple invisible powerups in the dark. Just to reiterate, overshield, health kits, and invisible powerups aren't in Halo 2 at all.
    1:07 A better look at the medkit, almost identical to its CE version. Next to that is another weapon drop thing that has ammo in it, which isn't a thing in the base game as weapon drops always have weapons in them and nothing else.
    1:08 That strange purple thing again. The player walks up to it and their health is restored, confirming that it is a Covenant health kit.
    1:10 Walking up to another invisible powerup.
    1:14 I think the camera bobs a little when the player lands. Flood now explode into a large fine mist when sliced with the sword.
    1:18 Slight kick on the camera when shooting with the plasma rifle.
    1:20 Large blue explosion when exploding the Covenant vehicle. It might be a troop truck which was cut content. You can also see the overshield effect here.
    1:23 Shooting drones with a pistol. Nothing special here. It might be dealing more damage than before.
    1:25 Destroying the turret on the Scarab with a sniper. You weren't able to destroy it before, which makes it more destructible similar to the Halo 3 Scarab.
    1:27 Two overcharged shots delivered to an Elite before switching to the shotgun.
    1:32 Shooting at the restored troop truck with a gauss hog. There's no enemies situated on the middle bench.
    1:34 Dual wielding an energy shield and a plasma rifle. The energy shield is a new weapon.
    1:37 The player and some friendly Elites are fighting a Juggernaut, the most well known cut enemy. It appears to lunge at its targets.
    1:39 The prophet boss fight, except the player is using a dismounted turret. It has an ammo bar that shows how much ammo is remaining until it's empty, and presumably can't be reloaded.
    1:42 Some drones are assaulting the tank on the bridge. Drones are not usually present in this area.
    1:44 The wraith's mini-turrets on the front now shoot in the direction of the player's crosshair instead of locking onto targets.
    1:48 The player is using a shield and plasma rifle on the mining rig, shooting at Heretic Jackals. Previously, only heretic grunts and elites were present.
    1:50 Honor guard fight. One of them is wielding a staff which seems to work similarly to the brutes' gravity hammer in being a powerful melee weapon.
    1:52 The player attacks a Zealot Elite with that staff, which deals extreme knockback to it.
    1:53 Heretic Hunters are now seen and are fitted with unique armor similar to other heretic enemies.
    1:55 The player attacks an enemy marine with an energy sword, showing that marines are now present in Arbiter levels. The marine is wearing some weird helmet that looks like a hazmat suit, no textures on it yet.
    1:56 Another marine and a slightly better look at the armor they're wearing. There's a weird pack on their back. They could be flamethrower units being worked on, or just wearing hazmat suits to protect themselves from the Flood.
    1:58 A Hunter and a Juggernaut battling it out
    2:00 Completely new turret. It looks like a Covenant version of the MAC gun from Reach and is firing at a Pelican in the sky. This could mean that Pelicans are now enemy vehicles that can be destroyed. Another Pelican can be seen to the right, hard to see but it might be carrying a vehicle on its back.
    2:07 Something feels different about this cutscene. I don't remember the Phantoms being there, or maybe they were but they didn't have that forcefield thing. Nevertheless I think some cutscenes are slightly modified.
    And that's all of the scenes picked apart. Comment if I missed anything.

      You can actually destroy the Scarab's turrets in vanilla, they just don't have an explosion effect and just vanish into thin air.

  • @Bizargh
    @Bizargh Рік тому +2

    'Ruby's Rebalanced - Halo: Combat Evolved' made an already-excellent campaign an *absolute blast* to play again, dare I even say *better* (The only things I'd say could've made it better would be post-Zulu Assault on the Control Room needed more Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher & Sniper Rifle weapon [not ammo, those were good] pickups just to let you switch between them more regularly and perhaps placing the Rocket Hog at the start of The Maw's Warthog Run, maybe at the flipped Hog on fire outside of the Bay would've given that new addition more time to shine, especially in Co-op), so call me very excited to see an even more fun to play version of Halo 2 (Not that I'm calling the base-game bad, but it's always been the one that's screamed to me "It just needs a good amount of small tweaks, additions & changes to make it a bit less frustrating & so more fun").

    • @Thomas.c4647
      @Thomas.c4647 Рік тому

      Yup, Assault on the control roombhad me carry empty weapons for far too long.
      I also find marines to be too strong.
      They can almost clear the beach on their own on silent cartographer on legendary.

    • @Bizargh
      @Bizargh Рік тому

      It is an original trait with Assault on the Control Room and Ruby of Blue has mentioned in streams that I've joined that there were concerns about having two players with Flamethrowers at the same time in Co-op (If I recall correctly, the flame particles had added dynamic lights to them, which when coming from two Flamethrowers at the same time could cause significant performance issues or outright crash the game), hence why you only get one per featured Level.
      Nevertheless, I caught myself trying the Flamethrower, regretting it and then having until right in the middle of the "Party Crash" before I could rearm with a Sniper Rifle or Rocket Launcher (Which at least the former would've made my Zero Friendly Casualties result much easier to achieve than with what I had), leaving me thinking "If I want a Sniper Rifle or Rocket Launcher for the Control Room, I'm gonna have to carry them the whole post-Zulu (AKA final-third if not second-half) duration of the Level", which seemed somewhat contrary to Ruby of Blue's intention of having you swap your weapons more eagerly throughout the Mod's Campaign (Unless I missed a note or mention that Ruby actually wants you to challenge yourself with slinging a power weapon of your choosing for that particular section, especially as Resident Evil was one source of inspiration for the mod). This was v3.0.1, but I don't believe v3.1 nor v3.1.1 changed this (It did further improve the Flamethrower though, so we'll see if I take a stronger liking to this iteration), so I'm more than willing to take it as a learning experience for the next playthrough.
      And frankly speaking, *I couldn't be happier* with how Marines hold up in Ruby's Rebalanced (It's unfortunate that friendly fire must be mostly disabled as part of it, but it suits my Green & Mean Lovin' self just fine & otherwise provides more benefits than drawbacks). I'd much rather be "competing" with them rather than "babysitting" them, myself (I still found it tricky to clear the beach with zero casualties, which is something I personally aim for keenly whenever possible in my general play of the Halo games), especially as I think the 'Power Fantasy' holds up much more naturally when you actually have to prove yourself against your peers. I've only played Ruby's Rebalanced on Legendary so far, so I'll have to see how they scale down to Heroic & below sometime (Their traits grow stronger as the difficulty climbs higher, that much I'm aware of).

    This is truly amazing. Sometime, i wonder what it would have been like to play these mods as a kid, because even as an adult I'm so amazed and excited.
