played this with my buddy and constantly glazed how good the elites looked. its how they always should have looked. bravo man

I don't suppose on your free time you could make a Halo 3 mod with JUST the Halo 2 remade HUD?

I've always really disliked the Halo 3 default HUD but I can never find any mods for ONLY changing the HUD. If you did make it, I would be very very grateful. ^_^

Wow, there is so much rad stuff on here! I am SO GLAD I ditched my gamepass finally and just picked up MCC on STEAM. Seeing stuff like this is legit inspiring! Can't wait to check more of it out after I refinish the games proper.

Mod is fun so far but when i get to the storm mission, I can't get past the invisible barrier and any other mission after that mission crashes after not even 5 mins of being into the mission

any chance we can get the marines from ce?

If you saw my current work in progress you would ;)

dont make me salivate

You’re welcome Spicy! There’s way more I’m going to add so stay tuned for that

It is glorious

HALO 2 SCORPION MY BELOVED

BeerMcDrinky, I just finished the second half of the campaign and I gotta tell you, this game came out when I was 10 and playing this mod gave me the same child-like wonderment that I had back then now at 28. Thank you

Seems like whatever up you pushed 20 minutes fixed the One Final Effort crash bug that the previous post was about. I had that crash and then it updated immediately, good work

Also crashing right after getting the warthog on One Final Effort playing solo, and one other time right after killing the fuel rod chieftain before taking down the AA

Just tried the mission one final push, not coop, as soon as I take down aa, get in the hog and try to go forwards where the ghost moves in, it crashes. I tried going on the straight (left route) and also going to the side (right route) and the game crashes. Gives me the usual fatal error. I did try continuing from my save and restarting the mission and same results for both.

Truly a good mod, as pointed below. The Covenant level is crashing while in coop. But you have outdone yourself!

Arbiter fix is hot now.

Okay, I'm currently working on Covenant, I'm not sure why it's crashing, it seems to work fine in testing, and as far as Arbiter goes, I'll fix him as soon as I can.

Okay playing co-op with a friend as the Arby this is what I notice

*Arby skin texture is missing while in 1st person view but armor looks normal, the armor and skin looks fine in third person, like when driving or using the flamethrower/turret

*The equipment (bubble shield, healing area, etc.) can't be used

*There's a delay when throwing grenades. It seems that Arby uses the CE Spec Ops Elite animations to throw them, and there's a slight delay between pressing the button and the grenade actually being thrown

*For some reason Arby's shield is much weaker than the Chief's
arby shield only withstand 5 BR shoots while chief up to 9 before they break
arby only 4 plasma shots while chief 8 and goes on

*The Covenant level crashes when the 1st pelican spawn or despawn the beach area while on co-op

Good to know, I’ll fix it as soon as I can, if you find anymore co-op bugs please let me know because I don’t have the full capabilities of testing in co-op on the tag test version.

Dunno if anyone else has tried co-op yet, but I noticed the textures for Arbiter's body are missing. The armor's fine, it's just the arms and legs when you're in first person.

Other than that, great mod overall! Can't wait to see more!

I'll Try it out again today - I know it's WIP right now. Just wanted to report any crashes I experienced. I played last night and it happened when going into that area w/ a ghost and then again when trying on foot w/ covenant weapons. I'll hop in today :D

Thank you, and I do, I have many things I'm still working on that will be parallel with "Halo 2: What If?" As far as the Ark goes I just uploaded a Patch to fix the crash.

The ark appears to crash right when you get into the area where the Forward Unto Dawn lands.

You made a certified classic with Halo 2 what if, do you plan on adding a health bar to this one as well? No rush if not :)

Alright, I’ll look into both issues as soon as I can

Not Tsavo, I meant the Storm, MB

Hate to nitpick but at the start of Tsavo Highway, one of the marines spawns weaponless.

Friendlies on Tsavo Highway won't enter a shadow vehicle.

There's a constant freeze on The Ark, during the battle before the Forward Unto Dawn comes down the game will freeze constantly.

DOPE, Thank you :D I love this mod

It’s a bug on my end from the newest update, I’m working on a fix for it now and should have it out later today.

I'm going to try and reinstall but on The Town Of Voi - I can't get through the second barrier in the first part where the warthog moves through. I tried to use different weapons, go through the side door, and hop into the warthog, restarted the level from the beginning, and also tried to restart from checkpoint and nothing worked.

Ironically we use some of the same asset tags for our mod.

i also notice the last screenshot looks too similar to the H3 revamp, almost like it was taken from that mod and used it for here

Message sent on discord.

Aw yeah destroyable spirits

Remove the slowdown during the flashback cortana and gravemind bits, playing these campaigns over and over makes them quite annoying.

only complaint i really had was because you remapped the controls for the wraith in order to add the autocannons, all enemy AI shoot that instead of the main mortar when firing. Basically trivializes all wraith encounters since they can really fight back aside from ramming.

Message me on Discord Flux Reev#2868

Darn it, I wanted to play the version with the Halo 3 scoped magnum but I was too busy. Is there any way I can play that version, or at least know where you got that Halo 3 scoped magnum tag? I would really appreciate it.

Played on "The Ark" btw

Played a few hours of your alpha and liked it alot. Those new models are amazing. The desicion to keep enemies "as is" elevated the nostalgia level while introducing fresh "what ifs". However the only thing that bothered me was the shadow replacing the Prowler. I know it's WIP stuff but they felt a little too slow and clumsy compared to the OG vehicle of choice. Thank you for making this!

Yeah I don’t understand what he was trying to say. Lol

I'm still processing the Cortana stayed with you bit.
Chief literally says she didn't in the first cutscene of the game lmfao

Also a fair point

Dude forgot Halo 3's plot.
In response to Tis, while I can see that, the model just doesn't look good alongside Halo 3's assets.

What do you mean by that?

Uhm... Cortana stayed with you?

That is a fair point.

I have to disagree with the one person below about putting the vanilla pistol model back in. It felt so cool using the EXACT pistol as I remember it from CE during these missions today. This was kind of the main thing I was excited about. I personally think it would be a detriment. Plus it would keep consistency from "Halo 2:What if?" Just my two cents.
