"Halo CE how you remember it, not how it actually was", IMO. Repetitive environments and encounters spiced up, bad weapons made actually useful, and enemies given more variants and consistent difficulty - add all that up and you get Halo with a more varied and fun sandbox, as it always should have been. Good fun to play coop!

Haven't completed it yet but my god, this brings back some feelings man. You did a superb job on this, I can tell a lot of sweat and hours have been poured into this masterpiece, you really outdid yourself and made a unique experience that enhanced the original vision. You should be proud, thank you so much.

Taco all of those are more or less on pause, he is working on H2 right now. and that one went from a rebalance to a full on rebuild do to just how broken H2 was.

Is anyone able to play Ruby's other mods? I have been trying to get his Reach one to work.

One of the greatest video games of all time and a titan of media gets to continue holding these acolades with Ruby's incredible update. 'Nuff said, really. If you *ever* enjoyed this campaign, you owe it to yourself to play this version.

Fixed now, thanks!

@RowMio Unsub and resub to the mod. Ruby updated it.

needs an update i think? can't find this or any of the ``marines`` stories :(

I am also no longer seeing the option under campaigns as normal with anti cheat off and both ce campaign and multiplayer installed, Is there something I am doing wrong on this update?

Thank you for updating the mod.

Hey! I love this mod. But I think today's patch on MCC might've broken it. I am trying to launch the game like how I normally do but when I click on "Halo CE: Anniversary" in the campaigns list I don't see "BUILT IN" and "RUBY'S REMASTERED ...". Instead it just takes me to the normal menu which has resume, quickstart, missions, playlists. Any help please? Thanks!

This is the quintessential way to play Halo CE. The mod opens up the game to how the developers envisioned it to be whilst expanding the sandbox faithfully. I can no longer play the vanilla campaign, and so excited for the rest of the mods to come out for the rest of the series. This is a truly must download mod

THIS is how you do an overhaul. No random weapons from all halo games taped together, no lore breaking additions and uneeded changes that only do worse than good, and no gimmicky bells and whistles that are janky and ruin the games art style. Just a rebalance that makes a game more enjoyable! Best CE mod by far

This is the definitive Halo CE experience. We're lucky for the existence of the thoughtful and thorough work that Ruby of Blue and his collaborators have done to make this timeless classic even better.

11/10. This is the definitive way to play CE

co-op do work

Maybe a dumb question but does COOP work for this mod?

Aight but actually. I've replayed through the collection with various mods this time, picking this one first and honestly nothing really was as fun as Ruby's mod. This really is the best Halo experience available at this time, perfectly filling the gaps in its design.
My favourite was the way it more weapons other than the meta picks viable on high difficulties. In the rest of the series I felt like I was too glued to the plasma pistol and magnum/BR/DMR combo. Now the game actually felt like it benefited from its whole kit.
Now I really can't wait for Ruby's Halo 2 to be updated. I'm waiting for that probably the same way people waited for OG Halo 2 release back in the day lol.

I think it would cool if there was a stegosaurus and a 2004 honda civic in the game then it would truly be like the definitive CE experience

Godking KJ jesus christ shut the hellup, you cry and moan like a little kid, most likely because you are one. Just take the mod for what it is, a great different, new, and enhanced way to play the ORIGINAL Halo CE campaign. This isn’t some bizzare mod with tons of different random bullshit that changed every single enemy encounter drastically that it’s not even the original game anymore. You want bigger battles, go play 3 or Reach, this is Halo Combat Evolved. You obviously didn’t play it when it came out.

Ruby is the reason I check steam workshop everyday, Halo CE: Rebalanced not only perfectly balances the encounters and weapons but also adds on to the sandbox with lore friendly weapons and vehicles as well as improving visuals and adding new AI. This is the unofficial directors cut of CE and my favorite way to play. You should feel very proud of this accomplishment and i'm anxiously awaiting Halo 2: Rebalanced

maybe it's too much to ask but if dismemberment could be implemented into this mod i think it would truly be like the definitive CE experience lmao

It is a grunt.

What is the crying person/alien saying on Keyes?

His other rebalances were never on the workshop +plus there broken and waiting to be remade there on nexus tho if you downgrade mcc

Why are the other rebalances not on the workshop could have sworn they were here before.

Why did Halo 3 rebalanced ever get removed from workshop??

Godking, then yeah go play other more extreme mods. For someone like myself this is exactly what I've been looking for and has become my new cannon experience of CE. This is a CE mod for CE fans, not a mod trying to turn it into something like the More Friends Mod, which I love and am looking forward to more levels. Honestly if you feel like you have so many good ideas you can always give modding a try yourself. Or continue to just find other mods made by other people that suit your needs more. I for one love the mix of rebalanced gameplay with extra secrets for chronic CE players to feel like they have a reason to explore again. Also how are you not even going to mention the added wildlife?

Based on the 30 seconds of fun principle, there should be something new every encounter. A fresh experience every 30 seconds. I may be spoiled with other mods doing that in a very noticeable way but this mod just seems to miss that mark. Changes are too far between each other. Its even more disappointing when encounters have less AI than the original. Like the beach landing. Who's bright idea was it to make one of the most historically epic encounters in gaming for its time more mild? Instead of replacing a squad with flanking ODSTs how about adding them to the encounter as a whole? And then add some more covenant as well with some armor support. Just kind of bummed out after seeing a few people hyping the mod up just for it to be so.... minimalistic to say the least. Thanks for the effort though.

I get trying to stay true to the roots of the game but this is too close to playing vanilla. When the only change to an encounter is adding 2 plasma shields in a hallway... why even waste time "overhauling" the game in the first place. People get mods to enhance and change game play. This mod is the equivalent to adding white out to a blank paper. I guess I'll play it when i'm done with the real mods, and want to play vanilla.

Best mod I've encountered in a while. Don't think I can go back to Vanilla after this; this is the definitive Halo experience. 10/10

bolsh told me to download this, a little sus if u ask me

Make sure to have Halo CE Multiplayer installed as well as the main game

When i subsribe to the mod, the mod is not showing up in my game pls how do i fix this ?

@AntlionSoldier344
Yeah. Here’s a link for the trailer.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OkiZGnzI600&pp=ygURaGFsbyAyIHJlYmFsYW5jZWQ%3D

wait theres an H2 rebalanced?

Antlion they aren't even done with H2 rebalanced.

ruby pls im begging you, release halo 3 rebalanced

is Keyes broken? I can't get past the door in the part with the destroyed ghosts and wraiths

Casual play longer, the changes get more and more noticable as the levels go on, also play on heroic for the best.

I like the thematic additions like ODSTs replacing some marines, and behaviors of the AI in some locations like they're just kinda chilling in the water and stuff. But otherwise this "overhaul" doesn't seem to change much other than giving enemies more HP.

Just finished it for the first time - what an amazing experience. This might be the best sci-fi fps ever released.

Why is it just Halo CE Rebalanced thats on steam?

Playing through the mod, again. Man, I love this version of the Flamethrower. Getting to storm covenant positions in AOTCR using the flamer and the FRG is just hilarious.

Play this Mod on legendary, you wont regret it. the only time Ive had a good fun challenge on legendary!

Final Covenant fight on Two Betrayals was hella hard in vanilla. Made even worse in this rebalance with the buffed Wraith fire rate. Idk how this is supposed to be tackled normally, so I run behind the rocks behind everyone, kill the reinforcements as they spawn next to me, then jump over the rocks into the banshees

Best mod for Halo

griffithsharry115, make sure Halo CE Multiplayer is installed

My game wouldn't load while trying to play this mod

Just commenting to say thanks for this mod. THIS is my favorite way to play Halo CE. I often think back to this mod when considering replaying a Halo campaign. This mod feels so natural to the game, doesn't feel tacked on. If Microsoft is remaking Halo CE, I'm sure that I will prefer this mod still.
