Ruby's Halo CE Rebalanced - 343 Guilty Spark got WAY SCARIER

- The Master Chief's journey through Halo takes him to a desolate swamp to find Captain Keyes and his squad.
This mod has turned my favorite mission in Halo CE into a SCI-FI horror masterpiece....definitely replaying again.
That sound at 9:01. Almost sounds like an Elite getting possessed and in extreme pain by the Flood.
I agree I just found this and just from the video am kinda scared if you heard that what would you do would you just get out of there or investigate
Damn, that sound is horror...
I mean the same sound i heard in brutal doom when the doom marine is killed but it kinda fits with elites being killed and severely tormented
@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853 yeah that's true but just imagine you hear those sound what do you do
@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853ooo, avem un român aici!!!
I consider myself somewhat of a Halo CE veteran. I've played through 343 G.S. so many times, but when I played through it on Ruby's version, I almost crapped my pants. In the swamp where you spawn, you can hear steps in the water. In the facility, you can hear flood noises (before the reveal). It's amazing. Only thing is I am struggling to activate the teleporter at the end.
I have been looking like crazy for that teleporter's switch, but the level ends before I can completely explore the final area
37:11 right there
@@pvt.jonwallace 29:53 That's the room that turns on the last teleporter, you have to keep the engineer alive and it will unlock a nearby console assuming it has power from the other switches you turn on in another room, then you can turn on the console in the elevator room where you escape with johnson.
@@evil1143 I will definitely make an easter egg run for that one
@@pvt.jonwallace can't wait 4 it
I must admit the dissapearance of that crazy marine was creepy as hell.
I know right?
In the scripts there was one that was disabled(couldnt find how to bring it back) but ultimely once you pass him he shoots himself
@nicolae-alexandruluca7853
Where did you find that?

If you watch the Developers Commentary of Halo CE, Joe Staten and Marty O'Donnell discuss that
I find it interesting that Johnson has lines for reacting to the flood, considering that he typically isn’t present on flood levels.
Sometimes he gets spawned at the top of the final elevator instead of Stacker
Back when was basically random generic Sergeant NPC.
Great job on the immersive roleplay! The pauses for the unknown sounds and the analyzing of all the hints of something terrible going on was really well done!
Ngl I had played this mission a bunch of times previously on Normal, this playthrough you watched is the one were all the scripts that Ruby added sort of caught my radar. That red blip on the swamp before the flood reveal genuinely puzzled me.
Ok he’s definitely nailed the flood screwing with the player
It's hard but you can save one or two of the 3 marines after you take the basement to the elevator. Very hard since they die after any 1 hit. If they live they loop the panic and crouch animation with their voice overs, but they don't try and follow you out.
I actually managed to save those three guys multiple times on Heroic and Legendary on some of my earlier videos
theres a playlist named after that in my main page
Ruby’s iterations on the levels are very good. And him holding back on using the flood biomass in extremely infested areas is great especially for an early infestation that CE showed. Which is a huge improvement from SPV3 where there’s an over abundance of the flood pods that it feels like its in every location the flood are found in.
CER is Halo: CE+
I mean they have a ahitload of bodies they can harvest, the wildlife the unsc pillar of autumns crew and the fleet of particular justices truth and reconciliation from the covenant. At least 100000 troops and wildlife, within one or two days they could build a maasive flood biomass and within a week a gravemind
SPV3 is honestly not very good. I know a lot of people love it but they loaded it with so much crap, unnecessary crap at that, and as a result it just falls flat on its face.
@@BrandonFlint-ro2nsexaggerated mod, ruby definitely made halo ce more balanced and immersive all the while sticking to it's roots
@@BrandonFlint-ro2ns I did enjoy its attempt to add more map content to the campaign. What I didn't care for was the whole "Halo: Reach" look being applied. CE looked great, but they made everything look and function in accordance with the limitations of the time. Trying to slap on a new look just made it look rusty and harsh. A lot of things lose the same weight and feel of the original game when all the interactive sounds, visuals, and physics are changed.
All the little touches here are really cool. I think Ruby did a great job at adding enough stuff to make it feel like the Flood are literally just out of reach of Chief as he walks through the swamp, but like if Chief had lingered for an extra few minutes they would have found him and swarmed. Though I also think a bit may have been lost by taking away the subtlety of the original, less is more and such.
But the way the Flood friend or foe tags go from friendly to hostile is kinda crazy awesome (but how would that even work, it's not like anything changed in that time to warn Chief/his suit they were hostile huh).
I have replayed that mission countless times fishing for that red blip on the radar after going underground and I still haven't been able to see it again.
I got really lucky I was recording this playthroygh in particular
The Flood sounds appear in the original as well; if you wait and linger too long in the swamp, Flood growling and gurgling starts to get mixed into the ambience as if they're getting impatient.
I choose to beleave that the friend or foe Tage is for human flood (friend) and elete (foe)
I think the suit calculated the probability based on how they act, instead of friendly they stalk and you heard the elite scream at 9:01,yeah,definitely not friendly
Probably their IFF tags fell off or were jostled loose by the transformation, were I to guess
I was NOT expecting Johnson to show up. I like how you found him so close to a lift as well; shows that he wasn't just wandering around, he was trying to get out. And as soon as you both figured out the lift was broken, he knew the only way to get out was to work with you. He even fights well, for a Marine on his own. Nice breakup in the tension, having a partner you KNOW is a badass help you through the infected depths.
Did he keep friendly fire off from the Marines? One of things I hate about this mission is that I believe all the Marines use shotguns except 3 and they end up team killing each other more than the Flood.
Yeah I think all friendly fire towards marines was disabled even from other marines
The only way to friendly fire a Marine in this mod is by assassinating them with a melee attack, which is honestly a welcome change given how aggressively stupid the allied AI is in CE.
They cant damage each other, friendly fire has been removed
The most scary part of this rebalance its the thing you can see, like the elite sounds on the forest, the water splashes indicating footsteps, and the crazy marine dissapearing, that Last was the most disturbing thing I have seen in CE si ce the flood on the og, Nothing but a blood splatter creeps me out
those were scripts that Bungie alledgedly wanted the level to include when the game came out but were cut because of time....
imagine if Halo CE had launched with all the stuff Ruby readded to it...
@@pvt.jonwallace the people, specially the Kids who used to play more halo, would have been even more terrified because all these minor details than adds more atmosphere. If I had played this version on the OG Xbox back in 2001 I would had never touch the game.
You scouted Johnson to elevator alive nice,but i though he already left this facity
not on this mod!!
It's actually kinda nice having Johnson with the player. It's probably a placebo effect, but he's just so goddamn cool it gives a nice little morale boost during firefights.
He might have tried but with the fact that he was alone and weakened, yeah, he wasnt going anywhere without help
I was scared shitless while playing this level, I was already terrified of the concept of aliens at the time (I don't know why) so I was already pretty afraid of the covenant, but this. I couldn't even sleep, or even beat the first mission including the flood. I immediately quit.
Ha, way back in the day I stopped playing halo for a while. It was about a month before I finished the game, I was 11. I remember when timesplitters 2 also pulled shit with zombies outa nowhere
Same i quit not rage quit but from fear lol think i was around 11. I wasnt ready lol for this
Fun fact, after releasing the flood if you go back to the elevator that you originally came from the elevator will explode and will fall all the way down to the bottom
Now, one might think hearing all those footsteps and sloshing around you without the motion tracker lighting up would be immersion breaking... But then you remember "oh yeah... active camo exists and disrupts motion tracker movement... Fuck-"
Good thing only Elites know how to use the active camo built into their armor though right? :^)
Uhhhhhhh, flood elites in the maw would say otherwise
Edit:flood elites in halo 2 grave mind......... Would say otherwise
Let's just admit halo
ce was way before it's rime
damn straight
I’d say it’s product of it’s time, and is still ahead of it’s time, I’m looking at infinite and seeing a inferior version of every halo game to date, so I’d say that the halo games (and any new ones) arn’t getting any better then ce and it’s amazing mod community
Thank you for using the fuel rod cannon, from at a young age to halo 1 (Xbox edition) always wanted to see it in action, why did they never let us use it the original just explode when dropped??? Always love the mechanics trying to avoid it hitting you
By the hunters ...like DON'T GET HIT
See this mission didnt scare me before but now with this mod oh jeez it gives me the willies
Sound effects are too good. So immersive.
20:40 THE FLOOD
21:04 THEY'RE BUSTING THE DOOR DOWN
Damn, the opening was drastic.
One single spore can kill species
That spore scared the sh it out of me those days
You know, I never knew there was a grenade explosion sound for being in water.
It makes sense when you consider Halo's significantly more sandbox-y (almost Crysis-like) days on the Mac.
00:58 - 1:00 there's marine pains sounds.
Btw the gameplay is very good but I wish that marines health would have been increased so that they can resist more and not die quickly that's the only downside of this mod tbh.
to be fair, they were scripted by Bungie to die fairly easily to the Flood.
Canon wise its really unlikely any of these guys survived the swamp firefight...even less so after the Chief gets teleported by Spark
Yeah in the swamp you can hear a marine death scream every so often, at least I think it is. It's the voice of the one who says "no covenant, you HAD to open your mouth"
@@pvt.jonwallace canon wise, I remember in the book that all the marines with chief get killed
@@Partisan417 its sad really, previous editions of Halo: The Flood mentioned that SOME did were extracted.
to see now they all perished is a bummer
@@Partisan417 just read the book the flood a few days ago and its sorta confusing because it mentions the marines next to chief all dying but then also says that foehammer picked up the survivors in the swamp
That should've been the true starting area of 343 Guilty Spark
I'm only around a fourth of the way through the video, but did Ruby add a rocket launcher to the level? I remember in the original game's menu trailers a rocket launcher was shown for this level, but I believe it was removed when the game shipped.
yes he did, its found on the hill by the crashed Spirit dropship at the mission's beginning
First time I played the original and encountered the Flood on this level (I was like 6 or 7), I legit shut my Xbox off and didn’t play for at least a few weeks.
What a masterpiece of a level
this feels like 3am vibs too on this mission when your watching at nights alone at 3am the scary time when your watching this video like spirits around u going about are so active on this mission alone i hear a scream in the area somewere i dont its a and when your down there u feel a active sounds like your in the active zone were u hear stuff like the flood somewere around u wow this mission turned into a 3am mission alone by your self
The only other game that can raise my heart rate like this is the entire STALKER series
Bro I have heard STALKER has a hardcore modding community backing it up, should I try modded or vanilla first?
@@pvt.jonwallace play the OG trilogy in release order (SoC, CS, CoP). I wanted to tell you to play all the OG trilogy games with the Gunslinger addon but unfortunately I was told that the GS addon for SoC and CS won't be worked on any further, so you can only play CoP with that. As for SoC, you have many options but I'd recommend STARTER PACK by MightySDS. For CS, you have less options but I'd recommend the Clear Sky Complete mod by Doglov Studio. As for Pripyat, install Pripyat Reclamation project, Call of Pripyat Complete mod, Gunslinger mod. This is all based on UA-camr Spactakil's recommendations, and others might have different recommendations. Always remember to rely on manual saves, and welcome to the zone STALKER
@@pvt.jonwallace and as for Misery Anomaly, GAMMA and Escape from Tarkov, they aren't the experience that GSC intended, and they're not the experience you should expect from STALKER 2
@@pvt.jonwallace UA-camr "Can't Game Right" will make a video on this topic soon
@@pvt.jonwallace I'd recommend vanilla (no mods) then try the mods.
23:12 HOLY SH*T THAT COMBAT FORM GOT RIGHT UP 😂😂😂
Flood form was prob thinking _I am not done with YOU YET_
@@pvt.jonwallace I remember I was killing a combat form after escaping the reveal room and my mom walked in and saw that thing get up. She ran out the door scared LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure the developers wanted to create the level like this but they thought about it long and hard on the table and said you know what we can't make it hard for the average gamer Then people are gonna stop (buying it) But really good on the creation 👌 👍
I am 100% sure if Halo CE had shipped as Ruby altered it, it would have gained a god like status
@@pvt.jonwallace It already has that status as the absolute Goat of all Halo missions with the most replays.
20:25 GET BACK HERE MARINE THAT'S AN ORDER
that scene when the crazy marine went missing looks like it was inspired by that airvent scene in Alien; i know the whole flood level and most of the flood ARE inspired by the aliens but that scene in particular instantly reminded me of dallas
"i found this....no body, no blood, no dallas"
The Flood are inspired by "The Thing".
This makes me want a full flood campaign where you play as a marine or ODST and have to survive with limited ammo and health
That bansees can be very use full for a covenant campaig like elite campaig mod
What does it have to do with the video?
Any CE fans that want to play sometime? I have MCC on PC
I need a gaming pc so bad, I’m missing out a lot
You don't need a particularly powerful rig for halo mcc
There's loads of second hand parts out there, im running an old 8 core xeon i got for £50 with a 1060 and 16gb ram, but an old 750ti would run halo easy, the old xbox 360 only had 512mb vram.
Love that panic Chief yell from Johnson as he nearly got abandoned at the lift out at 37:11 but dam seeing Stacker get slapped to death was tragic, would be really nice if certain mods could make some of the cannon characters be invincible like Johnson and Stacker with them surviving Halo.
Extract a tag script to specific person and tick the character cannot die box and you're done
40:05 "Ya'll gonna die" 40:06 *dies himself*
is that guilty spark I see @2:30 (at the top near the ammo and grenades)?
I can't handle this guy wasting rockets and fuel rods on infection forms lol.
29:43 29:44 FLOOD: FRESH HUMAN FOOD
not gona lie man this mod its so great
you should give it a shot definitely if you MCC on PC
@@pvt.jonwallace i already play it and finish the mod on legendry
@@pvt.jonwallace steam workshop halo mcc
@@ITSSIRWAN86 was it hard? I was considering doing a playthrough on Legendary originally but chose Heroic instead
@@pvt.jonwallace its hard man but you can do it if you have time do a try
Call the foreruners
they're gone bro...
The only thing i dont like in rubys mod is how unsc ar and magnum are too useful on the flood, it basically eliminates the need to use any other weapon since you can always get up in the floods face as they charge you down most of the time, this is why i made those 2 mostly useless on them to gice more enphasis for the covenant weapons and to punish players for choosing the ar or magnum to deal with the encounters
I mean a burst of an AR to the center of a combat form is more than enough to destroy the infection form within....canonically
if only someone was able to bring the infection form's resurrection abilities from Halo 2 to CE in a mod that would balance out how easy combat forms are taken out ingame
@@pvt.jonwallace i understand the idea but i wanted to bring in what mona lisa did, if you watched that 1 hour movie then you understand the point i tried to reach, also what i said above
Play his mod on legendary (the way he intends for it to be played) and tell me the human weapons are too good against the flood. The elite major flood (purple) take like 3/4 of a mag from the pistol to take down because their shields are weak to plasma but strong against bullets. The golden armored flood take like 2 entire magazines from the pistol to take down. The human flood and unshielded elite flood are weak to human weapons though which encourages switching between bullet and plasma weapons against the flood.
@@sturm9087 note taken
@@sturm9087well in my mod there's no difference in health to the flood unlike ruby's mod, shielded or unshielded makes no difference, the human flood have less health but that's it, unsc weapons may be quite useless and since they struggle against shields a single minor flood could take an entire mag or AR rounds and still survive. However plasma pistol needler or plasma rifle absolutely shred them
After watching cursed halo i expected keyes to kill himself
Finally the rocket launcher on this level I always wanted to know if it could be done ever since I saw the clip of it being used in co-op on the main menu when it’s idle long enough
22:06 i would say, frame perfect reload cancel 👌🏽
Damn, I'm a vet for Halo CE and this gave me goosebumps, great gameplay and roleplay!! 😮🤘 and another thing, when I tried to come back to the same elevator where I came in and just see it destroyed falling down the shaft I immediately started to panic. 😅
this level single handedly made Halo CE's story Legendary....
It would be really cool if after the flood is revealed all remaining Covenant forces stop being hostile during the rest of this mission. Like there's an unspoken truce between the Covenant soldiers and the Master Chief due to the much larger threat of the flood.
I made a playthrough of another mod on the channel that shows exactly what you said.
On Halo Combat Revolved if I remember correctly you had Grunts and Jackals fighting alongside you and the Marines in the final area of 343 Guilty Spark.
Perhaps you should check it out
I will come back to watch this but first, where can I get this mod?
steam workshop and nexus mods
@@pvt.jonwallace Ferb i know what were gonna do today
Too many different aspects of this mission that they are all the same. Love the ones that make the shotgun useless, yet no one ever adds to the horror. They just copy and paste, wish this map got more light on it for the horror aspect. Well that and two other maps that have way more lore then game gave you to play (main one "the maw") there was so much going on in those mins that we were kinda left with nothing.
Why didnt spark just seal off the containment area? Put a big shield arround 100 sq km. Then shield the entire ring stopping them from being able to leave the atmosphere?
because the lore for this game originally had none of the crazy retcons 343/Frank O Connor came up with their terminals and books.
when Bungie was at the helm the concept of jettisoning a section of the ring into space didnt exist at all (what we saw i nthat terminal of Halo CEA and Halo Wars 2).
thats one answer in terms of a of real life explanation, the one that seems more likely in the game's universe is that the swamp/containment facility is underground and thus not possible to eject which makes sense since having a Flood lab on the surface would make it easily accesible to intruders.
Remember when Halo had atmosphere?
¿Donde sacaran esa versión de Halo CE? quiero jugarlo 😢
Este es un mod para la Campaña de Halo CE en Halo The Master Chief Collection. La forma más fácil de conseguirlo es con la versión de Steam del juego. Luego buscar en Steam Workshop "Halo CE: Rebalance" verificando que el autor sea Ruby of Blue y presionando 'Suscribirse'.
Si con esto no queda claro puedes buscar un video tutorial.
❤
This mod is much better than SPV3 🔥. SPV3 is more like quantity over quality 😐
I should first get my hands on SPV3 before making any judgement, if it ever comes to Steam's Workshop that is
It added way too many weapons, way too many new skins that are very low quality. I did like the bonus missions they game up with tho.
@@NYG5 True. Nothing could beat OG game with Ruby Rebalanced mod installed, not even Halo CE Anniversary 🥱
Are the infection forms faster than normal here?
Their speed changes based on difficulty If i remember correctly.
OR maybe I am just allucinating....
they give you a shotgun right in the beginning?
only in easy and normal difficulties
@@pvt.jonwallace it's been a while since I've played normal or easy lol
@@rm25088 yeah, the game is definitely more enjoyable on Heroic
If you ever do it again, Ruby's Rebalanced is best on Legendary. It's not technically harder than heroic (unlike vanilla), but there are more enemies, more unique stuff, more secrets, and more environmental changes.
@@pvt.jonwallace I agree. I'll do legendary too once in a while.
😮😬
What's the difficulty?
normal for playthrough reasons
@@pvt.jonwallace thank ya
😅love god and love all people, be hopeful, honest and be good(virtuous). Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty in the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.
Wow jesus is just like the flood. I get why you posted this on a halo playthrough now
Well that was underwhelming. All the mod adds is some pointless time wasting console activations, some weapons and assets from other halo games, and some enemy tweaks. There is nothing groundbreaking here. I hate how some people consider a game "scary" just because they lowered the contrast a bit. Making the game darker doesn't make it scary its just irritating because you can't see
Idk I liked the motion tracker stuff, flood noises, and the other ambiance stuff.
How does it make you feel putting down other peoples hard work that they release for free? Feel good?
Calm down Captain Panties. Its criticism. Grow up@@crashbash8549
@@crashbash8549 Still criticise the sh out of it. Let the dev take notes and fix what they can and just ignore what's outside their ability.
@@eyeballpapercut4400 First of all, criticism has to he constructive for it to be useful, second, this isn't really criticism, it's just insults and rude comments, third, if you actually played the mod you'd know that this person has no idea what they're even talking about, and finally, if something is free it should not be criticised as heavily as something that is paid.
hey wallace, you got a discord? i would like help to install these awesome mods you use for halo
I really dont know how to use discord to be honest...but I can assist you with your problems if you want
Yea I really like the mods I see you use
@@stevenlarino1906 well as a start. do you have the game on Steam? because if it thats the case then you just have to go to the Steam workshop and subscribe to them.
Theres another method that is more tedious when it comes to modding that requires manual interaction but I need to know if you have the game on Steam(PC) or not.
