Halo 3: Combat Evolved

Description

Halo 3: Combat Evolved is a mod for Halo 3: ODST that re-creates the Halo: Combat Evolved Multiplayer and Campaign experiences within Halo 3: ODST by Kashiiera.

Information
The mod is HEAVILY work in progress, bugs, issues and missing content is to be expected. I am the only person working on this mod currently and remaking all levels from Combat Evolved, polishing them, ai placement, scripting and more takes a huge amount of my time so there is bound to be issues I overlook during development. If you found any bugs or have general feedback make sure to let me know!

Because this mod utilizes the Halo 3 ODST engine, you can play through Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign with up to 4 players in online Co-Op. A few select cutscenes have also been modified to account for the increased player count.

While I wanted the mod to stay as close as possible to Combat Evolved, I eventually made the decision to introduce cut content from Combat Evolved as well as a few custom (non intrusive) encounters to spice up the campaign and give it a fresh coat of paint.

Cut content such as encounters, scripts, items and set pieces have been re-added.

How to Play
To play, simply just subscribe to the mod and wait until the download is finished. Once finished you need to launch MCC with EAC Disabled.

For Campaign you need to head over to Campaigns > Halo 3: ODST > Halo 3: Combat Evolved and select any level.

For Multiplayer you need to head over to Multiplayer > Custom Multiplayer > Halo 3: ODST > Modded Maps. Unlike Campaign, all of the workshops items you've subscribed to are shown. Halo 3: Combat Evolved maps will have "Halo 3: Combat Evolved" in the end of their descriptions.

For Firefight you need to head over to Firefight > Halo 3: ODST Custom Firefight > Modded Missions. Just like Multiplayer, all of the workshop items you've subscribed to are shown.

For the best visual experience, consider changing the "Gamma" option in MCC to 6, the default value of "5" does not match with the mod tools and could lead to many areas being darker than intended.

Donations

If you've been enjoying my work on Halo 3: Combat Evolved, consider sending me a donation on ko-fi![ko-fi.com] This project takes up a huge chunk of my time and I work on it for absolutely free so little donations here and there really motivate me to keep working on it in my free time! Donations are optional and nothing will ever be locked behind a paywall.

The high pitched sounds and stuff are sadly an issue with MCC and custom sound banks not unloading properly, you have to quit to the menu and load in to Keyes that way, sorry.

So cool. Getting rid of that high pitched sound on Keyes would be awesome though!
Would love to see this come to fruition, but let's see if Microsoft actually makes a remake of CE

It's beautiful. Feels like the proper Halo CE Anniversary we never got. Hope to play through the whole campaign eventually. Some minor weapon tweaks wouldnt be terrible tbh. Like what CE Rebalance does, they put a lot of thought into them and i think made the sandbox better for it.

First time playing this mod and its perfect, exactly what an Anniversary version of Combat Evolved should have been. I know this is a work in progress but was wondering will the music be tuned to be louder and how come the original version of Under Cover of Night is not used? Amazing work!

Finally, SPV3 but good

When could the campaign be expanded because this remaster suits it well?
