honestly kinda crazy that ive never seen this channel but youtube recommended ne this video that it says came out like 2 minutes ago. kinda crazy how perfectly timed i was searching for a video
Having played the major CE mods, my ideal mod is one that combined most of Revolved changes but without the nerf to grenade damage (I hate that so much!) and the excessive red lighting on the library / 343, with Ruby Rebalanced Wildlife, with Brutality evolved gibs. Would be the perfect mod
Glad you think mine is worth mentioning! A big thanks for taking the time to showcase all these mods in one place, and your work in highlighting some of the really cool work authors have put out there like the RvB mod you highlighted the other day. Definitely some extremely talented people out there in the fandom.
I started playing the Havoc mod after watching the video. I'm only on a30 and I can already say it is INSANE. It's like the game shipped with those massive battles you see going on in the Halo Combat Evolved TV Spots
Combat Revolved is an absolute symphony between gameplay, story, and lore. Playing that mod made me feel like I was playing CE for the first time ever again. It's replaced the way I play CE's campaign from now on.
Fantastic video! I would love to see ODST get the trooper firefight treatment. Almost like a what-if on what that game would play like if you actually were a more vulnerable ODST rather than what feels like Spartan lite.
Saaame. I immediately had to check out the new E3 demo Digsite released but browsing the workshop made me curious to check some of the other mods as well
One of my gripes with the Havoc mod is how overwhelming the first engagements can be. I dove in, having played CE since I was a kid and was a bit disappointed with the enemy & weapon placement. It felt more like a shooting gallery than anything else
@CatcherInThePie-hi6bc Feel like there's a better way of going about enemy placement without sacrificing the original intent of the game. CE already did amazingly well with the limitations of the engine and I feel that, with more tasteful placement of enemies, you can still achieve "Havoc" without making it feel like COD. Mods like Mythic do a pretty good job at this, with a few exceptions of course. Thanks for the smart-ass remark.
@@CEO_of_R.I.P. When the only thing you have to a 45 minute mod list video is a "gripe" about one level for something so obviously meant to be, then you're going to be clowned. You're welcome.
@@CatcherInThePie-hi6bcWasn't just one level or mod I could critique. For example: Combat Revolved. The style they went for clearly learned nothing from CEA in terms of how imposing and alien the environment is. They made it warm & earth like. Not ideal. You just make yourself look like an ass and make the discourse toxic.
@@CEO_of_R.I.P. Halo ring is "earth-like." Yea no sh*t. It's supposed to be. The whole point of a Halo ring is to study the Flood in a habital environment....like Earth... You know, the planet where the Forerunners built the Ark portal.... Something tells me you don't know much about the story. Halo rings have locations that are literally resembling worlds the Forerunners have been to. How's that "discourse" going?
nice video definitely checking halo 2 with sprinkles i was looking for a halo 2 mod campaing that give me the ultimate experience and tbh i didnt consider this mod cuz of his name
Ruby's rebalanced stuff seems REALLY good too, just watch the latest big video he made for CE and you can tell that the stuff he added was really really REALLY well thought through
I was expecting only one or two mods to catch my interest but instead the whole video had me leaning back in my chair like the Vince McMahon meme going "INTERESTING!". I can see the COD Zombies inspiration for some of hose firefight mods and they all look fantastic! I gotta give them a try
Played almost all these mods so far except for Pre-release Macworld, Firefight CE & Trooper Firefight so I will def check these out ASAP. But I'm really the most excited for Halo Reborn & Halo 2 Rebalanced to drop (hopefully by the end of this year)
Fantastic video! I've recently gotten interested in mods for the Bungie Halo games and this list is a great jumping off point. My only experience with Halo mods dates back to the early 2000's when I would download and play custom user made maps and mods for the OG Halo:CE on my modded OG Xbox. I can't wait to try some of these mods, thanks again for the video!
Thank you for checking this out. Man, those original Halo mods were limited but gave us something interesting to experience! Even flying the Pelican on an empty Silent Cartographer was simply awesome. Or the Metropolis bridge fight going up against about 40 Sword wielding Elites with about 30 shotgun armed Marines was a blast! I'm glad you stopped by, and you've got a lot of amazing mods to try out!
@@Imperial_Guardsman Halo 2 is a special Halo game to me, and your Firefight mod makes it so much more fun and something I've always wanted to do in Halo 2. Thank you!
Ngl, I wasn't interested in Halo 2 Flood Firefight until I watched this video. I'm not really into Flood encounters, but the fact that it's so much more than that and has unique encounters and different alliances and teams and whatnot made me actually want to go download it.
That's great to hear! It is more than just Flood encounters and I was surprised when I found out about that too. I was thinking, this is so good, I gotta include this on the list.
Well its clear that a lot of these were removed due to hardware limitations of consoles at the time and bungie having limited time and budget to perfect them, and also damnnn that three hit melee combo on chief is awsome
@@CalebMaupintimeStill rife with balance issues and "I added it cause I can." Whose idea was it that there needed to be an invincible boss that you have to run away from and press a button to defeat in a cutscene?
@@TheHutDave CE Hunters, the most telegraphed foe in the game...that are not actually "everywhere." Sounds like you need to be better at the game. C'mon boy.
Introduced one of my younger brothers to Halo CE recently and we couldn't get vanilla to work, so I resorted to Halo CR. Could honestly him it worked out for the best because that mod takes nothing from the original experience and fine tunes it so much.
How did you get the Ultimate Firefight snow map to have less bloom? It could be my graphics settings, but the snow on the map is so bright that it's incredibly hard to see anything most of the time. Did you find a way to reduce the bloom?
@@Mizzriah it's possible you played on an earlier version because I remember the bloom being reduced in later updates. Try unsubscribing from the mod on Steam and then resubscribe. This will ensure Steam downloads the latest update because they won't always updated automatically.
@KYOTUA-cam It's better now. I think my gamma was just too high. I sometimes would turn it up for the library section Edit: I was wrong. The footage in your video is still way clearer. The snow is still way too bright in certain areas of the map, even with lower gamma. It's as if the bloom on your end is lower than mine is, and yes, this is the latest version of the map. Would you happen to know how to reduce the bloom from various light sources?
can anyone tell me how to find those cortana locations in ultimate firefight? i really wanna test that out! but everyone is unanimously hiding it and there is no videos showing how to do it.... i just wanna see it because im too stupid to figure shit like this out
imagine ''freddy in space'' trilogy, ik i had this craziest cursed idea for halo ce to 3 but idk if its a really a good idea, i was thinking of making it myself but im not sure if im talented to create it, its basically like cursed halo mixed with crossovers with a interesting story, its like a metaverse or something idk XD
I also want to know is there a mod that changes the battle themes of the first halo? Plz recommend the ones you like something a little bit more action i mean
These mods look so fresh and have so much potential, it's such a shame 343 isn't motivated to make anything good and Microsoft just doesn't care about quality.
@@KYOTUA-cam ty it was an incredible mod im now planning to play halo 2 i was planning to download halo 2 uncut but after watching ur video iwas confused between halo 2 uncut or with sprinkles what do u think kyot ?
It's not really that impressive compared to others really. Just because hiddenexperia talked about it doesn't mean it's that great. Not compared to these
@@samhurrell4775 "Don't *look* impressive." That's the problem. You've never played any of them. I have, and Ruby's isn't on the level as these that are shown.
I personally like SPV3 but these mods seem much more focused to the core of the game rather than SPV3 that takes a lot of liberties. He's made videos of SPV3 in detail though
Stating Nexus is greedy is a low-resolution outlook considering over the 10 million dollars they've donated to mod authors and the service they provide. At first I thought the same, but I learned more about them, so here's more insight if you and others care to read. Nexus Mods is a business that has allowed over a hundred thousand mod authors to upload files. *Nexus then needs to verify each upload file to ensure nothing malicious is downloaded in the guise of a fun mod to the millions of people who visit the site.* That is their sole purpose, so of course Nexus would need to return a profit for the service they provide, or else they would not exist. Steam on the other hand profits from obviously selling games on their platform with community mods being a secondary function. *Steam does not donate anything to mod authors.* That's just not part of their business currently. Although users can donate through Steam to the mod author if they wanted to. Since you put your comment on my channel, I wanted to give better insight.
Finally, a checklist in video form for us. So glad Halo is being modded so much. Lately I swear I've just been playing Trooper Firefight or ODST rebalances more than anything else. I think there is another mod you should check out sometime, "Halo Reach Infantry". A kinda like the Trooper Firefight mod except a literal custom campaign with cutscenes and everything.
honestly kinda crazy that ive never seen this channel but youtube recommended ne this video that it says came out like 2 minutes ago. kinda crazy how perfectly timed i was searching for a video
I'm glad you're here. Enjoy!
Same!

I'd like to see a version with Halo Reach/ Anniversary tags just for it to feel like the ideal remaster.
Not the first one that says this. I'm defo checking it out
Fantastic video!
I would love to see ODST get the trooper firefight treatment. Almost like a what-if on what that game would play like if you actually were a more vulnerable ODST rather than what feels like Spartan lite.
I'd say Pre Release is my favorite.
But this is absolutely great! A very well put together video, thank you!
WHY THE FUCK DON'T THEY JUST HIRE THE GODDAMN MODERS TO MAKE A NEW HALO GAME ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE SO GOOD WTH
This is the video I want.
I'm just thinking which mods are worth playing on workshop, and my god, all these mods looks so fun, thank you
Saaame. I immediately had to check out the new E3 demo Digsite released but browsing the workshop made me curious to check some of the other mods as well
For the trooper mod, the author could use enemy voice lines from Spec Ops The Line. The dialogue does a great job of conveying the stresses of combat.
One of my gripes with the Havoc mod is how overwhelming the first engagements can be. I dove in, having played CE since I was a kid and was a bit disappointed with the enemy & weapon placement. It felt more like a shooting gallery than anything else
No way...a mod literally title HAVOC has an overwhelming shooting gallery in tight spaces??! Say it ain't so!

Kinda glad SPV3 was left out. Ugly as sin, bloated weapon sandbox, and a bad rebalancing.
Ruby of Blue's rebalance series, on the other hand...
Ruby's Rebalance just rebalances stats and imports wildlife.
