The Arbiter's war against the Flood on Alpha Halo | Halo CE's NEW ARBITER MISSION (SPV3 mod)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2019
- During the events of Halo Combat Evolved, the Covenant released the Flood on Alpha Halo, leading to Chief having to ‘contain’ it by destroying the Halo. During Halo 2, we see the Arbiter punished for allowing this to happen, and for being too preoccupied with the Flood. Well, thanks to Halo SPV3, for the first time EVER we can experience the Arbiter’s war against the Flood on Alpha Halo, but is it any good? Today, I wanna talk about and review the lore, gameplay and design of this HUGE Halo CE mod that introduces CE’s first EVER Arbiter mission!
Let me know what you thought about The Commander SPV3 mission! Link to download here - / spv32_released_vastly_...

You’re awesome
I’ve heard about that discovery from UberNick
HiddenXperia you’re breathtaking
Is halo spc free???
Hey Hidden Xperia. I have a question to ask. Hopefully you'll make a vid on it. It has to do with the flood. So the Prophets speech to Thel Vadaam in halo 2. Truth said " You were right to focus your intention on the flood" and in Halo CE the covenant seemed really intent on trying to seal the flood studying and cantainment facility. Almost as if they had encountered the flood before.
My question is have they? Has the Covenant encountered the flood before Halo CE? I imagine they would know something about it from their extensive knowledge from the Forerunner tech and sites they've found and had since their founding. Right? Especially as it was the flood that chased the Forerunners to mass genocide on the Halo Rings. Would they not have spread their warnings and knowledge of the infection to whomever found their stuff?
The Arbiter: _Stops a God damn zombie plague from infecting the entire galaxy_
The Covenant: *"HERETIC!!!"*
Justin Y. What’s up fam haven’t seen you in awhile
He’s back?
You again?! Why can't I escape you!?
The demon? Here???

Actually it comes from the Rock Bottom episode.
Even if he did survive how would he be alive he would die unless he was in a stasis pod but i doubt he could find one
Bobesponga
R.I.P a mission about how R’Tas fought the flood on that agricultural ship and “smelled that stench before”.
This should be pinned and given utmost attention.
Did they plan on making a mission for the mod?
The comic exist if anyone wants to read it.
holy fuck. u rite
Would have been nice
I think they added a mission like that
I sure do hope Noble Six steps out of his cave and ensures that Infinite is as good as they’re making it seem to be!
😭
Don't forget Johnson. He's in there too
I’m so afraid to be excited for halo infinite... I’m afraid it’ll be game as a service or full of micr transactions and req packs.....let alone the terrible mechanics from the last few 343 games don’t bring me comfort
Nomads cheap-n-nerdy! I can see where you’re coming from, but I have faith in 343 this time around. At first I hated Halo 4 and 5’s mechanics but I can see how they were trying to make it their own thing and I can respect their decisions. I’ve gone back and played both and the only true issue I hope they fix is the story telling. I enjoy reading the books and what else but I shouldn’t have to just to get the full game story. Such as the Didact’s true defeat. I also doubt micro transactions will be an issue! I think they’ve seen the flaws in their REQ system (at least I hope they have). So Holiday next year should be a great year for the fans! I’m sure Infinite will be up there with the other great Halo games.
"How did you make it off reach?"
"Lots of kids' parents' credit cards"
Arbiter be like, bro I didn't sign up for this shit I just wanted to go on the great journey
Arbiter can take them all singlehandedly, especially Arbiter from Halo 3. Everytime you killed him, he would just come back to life.
ruuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
To angry to die
Arbiter never will give on fighting for what is right.
"Whatever kills me makes me stronger."
God I hope 343 gives the community 100% access to all assets. Halo modding has so much potential!

Almost too much and legitimately unfair....especially in tighter corridors......
.........sounds like a true representation of the flood to me bro.
I know, right? SPV3 is delightfully challenging, and the numbers are part of that. It's a mod for a 20 year old game, I think it's a fair assumption that the people picking this up are pretty decent at Halo to begin with. Most folks would expect an experience tuned more to that.
@@shadow7988 Keep in mind Hidden also described it as 'annoying'.
Bungie had the original design down well, enemy count was numerous enough to halt you rampaging through the level but not overwhelming enough to completely grind you to a standstill. SPV3 made some very odd design choices which ultimately bring the mod down. Increasing enemy count two, sometimes even three fold in an area designed for a small skirmish isn't legitimate difficulty nor is it a good design choice.
Some of these missions just took waaay too long to play through because of extended fights and extended areas that just felt unnecessary and empty padding. Case in point, the very first mission of the game is grossly overdone.
I'm pretty sure we all appreciate having SPV3, but it doesn't mean we can't acknowledge and criticise the things it does poorly/not as well.
@@Garthorium I have to disagree.I think the large bump in enemy count is a necessary consequence of the fact that you yourself are also FAR more powerful in SPV3 than you are in the original CE. You carry twice as many grenades as the original game(Half of which are ENORMOUSLY more destructive), and the guns you have access to were not at all designed for CE and it shows in how quickly you can dispatch enemies with them; Good examples being the underbarrel grenade launcher for the assault rifle, or a battle rifle in a halo game where the pistol was already broken as fuck. And we haven't even touched upon weapons that can clear out entire rooms and outposts in a couple of left clicks, like picked up hunter weapons.
I've been playing mostly on Heroic and I've found a pretty good challenge level where I can definitely get myself killed through bad luck or dumb decisions, but there hasn't been a single engagement where I didn't think I could paste everyone involved. I think if you toned down the number of enemies, combat would end WAY too quickly with SPV3's arsenal involved.
@@shadow7988 The problem is that Hidden isn't the only one that shares the same criticism. Granted, you don't have a problem but other people do. I'd have to say I tend to lean with your experiences too but I'm not dismissing the false difficulty bumps either. The lighting only contributes to poor design choices and falsely increases the difficulty.
I felt the original game flowed excellently because it balanced steady progress with minor suppression. Fights felt a lot more tactical because of the pacing. SPV3 makes it feel like you're fighting an army at every corner and just grinds missions and interest to a halt where you're bottlenecked because of original map design not really being catered for increased a.i count. Bungie developed areas with intent, now you're doubling the enemy count, sometimes tripling it. It's not like the a.i are smarter, it's that it's just overwhelming odds in numbers.
The fights just grow tedious and tiresome. The whole point of the first mission was to be a quick getaway from a ship being under heavy siege. Now it's stretched out to a whole hour only to coincide with the rerun in The Maw when that wasn't really the essence of it in the original.
I do agree with you that Chief is ultimately more powerful but don't forget that the OP weapons are not guaranteed on every playthrough. You're not always going to use those guns every single time you go through the mission, and I'd argue that if that's the best/only way to make steady progress that in itself could be poor game design, which don't get me wrong, the original magnum certainly was.
Late Night Gaming also does an interesting take on the mod which you may be interested in watching if you haven't already.
Some people can't handle true to lore gameplay. I just wish that you being the would have had more elites at your side throughout the level considering you have a fleet at your disposal
“Fighting the flood in a familiar location is pretty cool”
What about, Keyes, two betrayals, and the maw?
They're all pretty cool missions.
Imagine if this dark map got Flood fog like Sacred Icon... probably isn't feasible on this engine though
Well in the refined campaign mod for ce, it fixes the PC ports graphical issues like fog in 343 guilty spark, so the game does have fog similar to halo 2's flood missions
It kinda does when you go deeper into the facility
You complain about spawn rate but lets be Real thats How a REAL Flood infestation would play out XD
There is such a thing as Gameplay and Story segregation, y'know.
You are right.
I enjoy a challenge like this
@@Enderguy059 I mean sure but so many games go overtly hand holdy and too easy route its fun to see something go the opposite way and present a fuckin challenge for once
'Shipmaster, they outnumber us 3-to-1!"
"Then it is an even fight.."
I like the amount of flood that’s shown here. It better captures what an outbreak is really like. They are called the flood for a reason.
@Candy Texture normal is the lowest difficulty in that mod
@Candy Texture The problem with this is that the flood outbreaks act in stages, at the time of this mission in this mod we have zero idea where chief was or at what stage the outbreak was in, was the flood still being relatively coordinated because of the proto gravemind on the truth and reconciliation or was the flood back to being at stage one because the proto gravemind was destroyed by chief.
Cursed Hawkins The SPV3 wiki says it was during The Maw, so after the Proto Gravemind’s destruction.
Seems like a biblical reference to me: Flood, ark, halo...
@@cursedhawkins1305 commander takes place during the maw if you payed attention you'd notice that
I think the amount of flood is cool as it simulates what an actual outbreak would feel like rather than just thirty swarming you and suddenly none when you’re supposedly in the middle of a horde.
the only problem of the mod is the saturation, it hurts my eyes
I love that sword design, way more sleek then the already sleek design of halo 2 and 3
As much as I love seeing anything about the Arbiter, the Sangheili, or even the Flood (especially in something as awesome as SPV3.2), I'm hoping you'll cover their take and reimagining of Lumoria, my most absolute favorite mod in all of Halo. Breakdowns on the story, the lore, the unique level designs and weapons. Hell, maybe you could do a comparison between the old and new versions, the positives and negatives of both, what you liked most and what aspects could be improved.
Actually, better yet, do a livestream walkthrough of Lumoria. Gives me a reason to both see your reaction and listen to that glorious Halo music once again.
Yeah I definitely plan on it, I played regular Lumoria a few years ago and enjoyed it overall, looking forward to seeing what the SPV3 team have done with it!
The fact they managed to tie the timer on the flashlight into an actual energy sword is the coolest thing I've seen from Halo modding. I'm going to download SPV3.2 whenever they fix the lighting and play the hell out of it.
they already fixed it
This mod is exactly what the flood outbreak would be like theirs tons of them to kill
God that moment when Usze tells Thel what chief did is so perfect! I can just imagine the seething rage in Thel as the ring begins to RIP itself apart with him on it, then the distain on his voice on the phantom at the end when they are leaving. This model has it quirks, and needs updating, but this mission was EXACTLY the kind of thing I needed as an AVID fan of sangheili and covenant lore in general. Major props to Lapidus, one of the most well written characters I've seen in a piece of fan work for the halo series, and also just one of the most upstanding brutes in the roster of names brutes.
Yeah, except that Halo was ripped apart instantly when the Autumn's fusion drives detonated. So that bit was actually innacurate.
@@zanethederahn4079 incorrect
The cartographer island was on the opposite end of the ring which means Thel's time to escape was slightly longer than chiefs warthog run timer
Merciless Mode Did you even read my comment correctly? (Yes this is the same person) I’m not talking about the time it took for the fusion drives to detonate, I’m talking about WHEN they did. Over the course of a few seconds immediately after detonation, the rings was basically shattered into a million pieces. He would NOT have been on the ring WHEN they went off.
@@thecatfather857 not really according to both the flood (novel) and the cutscene chief just blew a chunk off the ring and the debris over a longer period destroyed the rest of the ring
@@V2ULTRAKill Oh My God! Whatever, Mister Technical!
You just try to say there's a little more to something than is made out to be, and someone has to get all "Umm, actually" with you about it. Sheesh!
"Juicy Elite on Flood Action" - HiddenXperia 2019. XD
I was litterally scrolling down my recommended and thinking "I wish hiddenXperia would make a new video"
Like for sgt Johnson to be Chief's new AI in infinite
Only if he isn't naked like Cortana.
@@shadow7988 that's by choice, he could look however he wanted to
@@samuelpach7940 honestly, I don't want him back. His death had meaning. This... Removes it.
Expand Dong Well, since Cortana is an AI from Halsey’s mind but still a different being, an AI from Johnson’s mind would have similar traits but it wouldn’t be Johnson.
"For a brick, you fly pretty good!"
First of all, wow the aesthetics in this mission 😍 typical halo. So nostalgic.
Secondly, the lore. I love that they are fleshing out the lore. This is amazing! Never I would’ve thought to see brutes, and some other things in Halo CE
I played this mission as well and loved how the team is able to create new experiences with Halo through SPV3! I totally agree with you on everything you mention in this video ESPECIALLY how dark things are. After talking with the team they wanted a more difficult Halo game but throwing too many enemies and making it super dark really creates artificial difficulty that gets in the way of the amazing gunplay.
The flood: exists
Arby: Parry this you Worting casual
also hiddenxperia regarding the new audio log, I think that the "real" Cortana was imprisoned by the warden and the Cortana in h5 was a fake.
What I would prefer to be the truth is that the current “Cortana” is the dominant fragment of halo 4’s Cortana that escaped into the domain, while the main fragment went dormant inside the didact’s ship, which was later discovered by the infinity and Halsey. But then again, this is just my opinion.
Everything in halo 5 was fake ..
I'm hoping Cortana got the logic plague and intends on helping the flood escape the new halo, only way I can see the colossal fuck up that was halo 5s narrative be acceptable.
Yo videos are so good even the hierarchs would appreciate them
Is no one gonna mention that in the newest Halo Waypoint they said that forge transfer for H3, Reach and H4 are gonna be on August 12th, meaning Reach will be on MCC for console by then most likely
“But this, Demon this, Master chief”
Listening to these videos is what gets me through the work day. Thanks man, really appreciate all the effort you put into this.
Ayyyy thanks man, I appreciate ya
Dude... The HUD and gameplay looks sick!!
I've never seen an SVP gameplay but now that I see that you can play as the arbiter it looks amazing!
It's like Halo and Star Wars Battlefront were combined togheter and I love it!
I need to try this!
I kinda wish the mission took place on the event on the Infinite Succor during the battle of the first halo, you know the one I'm talking about since you did cover it, where Rtas and his special forces went to investigate the ship and Rtas later on ends up fighting with the best elite sword fighter.
26 mins of spicy content! Yea boi
I like the thumbnail you used for this, CE elites really look sick
Thank you! I thought I was the only one having issues with the amount of enemies. On the mission Keyes I got stuck inside this one corridor in the ship until I ran out of ammo and the enemies just kept coming seemingly out of nowhere. Also something I really hate are that those flood jackals literally spawn in the ceiling and then clip through to fall on top of you. You can see this happen numerous times especially on the mission The Maw.
Cool vid lad keep up the great work
Back watching this to emerge my self deeper in the vibes as I play through all the games again on legendary
OK i'm so playing this. I wasn't entirely convinced because of the graphical changes and some things ive heard about the difficulty and it being destroyed under it's own weight. But holy crap now that i see it i've got to play this.
This is almost exactly how a campaign add on to Halo Infinite should be!!
Just picture exactly this, but on the new Halo ring in Halo infinite, you play as a different gold zealot elite instead of Thel. And youre searching for Master Chief while saving marines and fighting Banished.
When all of a sudden the flood out break begins on the Halo infinite ring.
That was absolutely amazing. The lighting is the only problem I see. I can't believe I missed this video over a year ago.
I love how this shows how bad the flood can be
I dont like that people complain about the darkness, played the entire game myself with no issues.
You're not supposed to be able to see through darkness, its the fucking point. Use your ears, play intelligent. Idk it just bugs me people dont really get the design point.. The flood missions where its dark as fuck are SUPPOSED TO BE DARK AS FUCK. The flood are supposed to be like one of the worst ways to die and then undie again. Literally turning your cells into a living corpse than and see feel and hear everything going on while changing your thought patterns to that of a psycopathic killing machine with its only goal as spreading.
heck this mission the Commander, happens at the same time as The Maw since Chief has no choice but to detonate the autumn's engine cores. thus causing a wild cat explosion.
I love the videos bro keep it up 😃
i guess the perfect excuse for the overwhelming number of enemys is the very essence of the flood been a swarm
Hey nice vidoe man that was really cool
Ive been a fan sence halo 4
wauw you had a lot more light in that mission than i had. Mine was so dark that at points i was litteraly moving along the walls to get about. Helped a bit when i found out about the gamma changes you could do in the mod options but damn. Being swarmed by the flood when you cant see 2 feet infront is scary.
Congrats on 400k
Am I the only one who thinks Usze sounds like a 40k space marine?
YES BROTHER
This mission is super cool. Just need a brightness fix and a less enemies mode
Bryce McKenzie idk I get that it’s supposed to be semi fair to the player but from the video it just seems a lot more like what fighting a flood infestation would feel like.
Don't you mean CHIPPS DUBBOS (and arbiters) fight against area 51 (and the flood) on alpha halo.
Love the vids
Love your video keep up the good work😎😎😎😎😎
The lore in this mission is simply fascinating ! Thank you for sharing !!! But I must agree, watching you play against just such an overwhelming force of enemies looks and feels very frustrating :/ still though, thx for the vid LC !!
I honestly found spv3 the most fun halo experience since my first time ever playing CE
Im lovin these lore videos lol
Great video
You finnaly went back to SPV3!!!
YEEEEES!
This is such a freakin mission makes you look at the ending of Halo CE differently
This was one of the coolest things I ever got to see behind all of this
i love this guys intro its so epic and cool
7:10 This is actually something that is quite common across modding projects in general, not just for Halo.
A lot of modders seem to mistake the idea that "realism = better", and that is most often reflected I've found in how they handle night-time.
Sure, it's "realistic" and even interesting in certain gameplay elements for there to be pitch darkness, but in my opinion that's only when it's reflected in the gameplay, as in the darkness is working with/against you in terms of stealth or not being able to see an enemy.
Yeah! My boi's got a new video!
Someone found a hidden Cortana audio file in the Halo Infinite trailer dude can't wait for your vid on it
fans decide to make a halo game themselves because they are fed up, now this is dedication
this mod does make the game insanely more terrifying! If I play any of the flood missions at night I am constantly on edge
Dude. That elite just stuck swords through his own neck.
The darkness is definitely a bit of a problem, but also it adds realism to it, I mean, you're on an island outside at night. No lights, just cold darkness.
Gameplay wise I do see it as an issue though, with no light source, yeah, there are literally parts that are pitch black and you can't see anything until you're attacked usually by Flood.
The amount of Flood on the other hand, difficult as it is, is actually pretty awesome. It really feels like how much flood there should be in a way. The only detail that feels a bit off with the amount of flood is if this was on a much more populated place. I don't really know where all the flood are really coming from here, it is an island on the ring... I don't really think there would be as many covenant and humans on the island for the flood to infect for there to be so many on this location.
This would seem appropriate for a city or a heavily infested area where there is a lot of biomass for the flood have to infect.
Overall though, it's pretty damn cool. Like you said, fighting the flood in a familiar area like this is really really cool. I always liked coming back to locations you were at previously with the flood now being there. Probably my favorite mission in Halo CE is Two Betrayals. I just love how you're backtracking through Assault on the Control Room but it's night and now the covenant are fighting the Flood. I just loved how the level feels so different, but it's in an area where you've been before earlier.
Fuck I love Halo.
That was badass! Props to the creator of this mod!
Bro, this video is pretty iconic.
So something I have always been confused about is how the flood on instillation 05 died. The halo that gravemind lived on still exists and never was destroyed, right? Did the gravemind itself teleport on board high charity? Taking all the flood with him on the ship? Or did the flood on 05 get killed off by sentinels when the gravemind went to high charity. Or did the gravemind even leave 05 and the one on high charity was a second gravemind with a telepathic link to the one on 05, and now that high charity is gone, there is a lack of biomass that allows for communication with the original flood.
I would love to see more
ay broski you see the new cortana dialogue. prolly not enough to warrant a new video but its more food for thought to make you think.
yuuuuuuuup currently editing a video about it that's going up tomorrow night!
HiddenXperia AYYYYYYY
God I love that intro it never gets old
wow its crazy cause i just finished spv3.2 campaign today
there's been new audio found in the discover hope trailer for cortana
Being apart of the notification gang is fun
we need a modded mission for Sergeantt Johnson on Alpha halo the game never explained how he survived and escape the installation alive .I would love to see that someday.
There's a book for that, more or less.
Not that we'd ever see how. Because that's classified.
Yo G you deserve over 700,000 SUBS G like really 💯🤙👍
You can adjust brightness/gamma/ hdr curve Via filters provided in Ansel. (The capture/screenshot/share feature via nvidia)
Interesting name for that Brute Chieftan. Besides being honorable: lapidas can be translated to gravestone in Spanish.
That was awesoome.
So is this mission set when master cheif was in progress of blowing up the pillar of autumn🍂? 22:20 oh it is that’s so awesome and perfect😄😄😄😄😎😎😎😎😊👍🏻!!!
A mission that uncovers the true heroism of my great friend Thel Vadam and I? I like it.
I've wanted you to do this sooooooo bad
This does not deserve to be forgotten.
Whoo more videos!!!
that was quite the treat for the eyes
Man this mod is so cool
Elite on Flood action Luc?
Time to edit that part...
300k !!!!!! LETS GO
It’s a cool idea to have the Arbiter in CE, but this mission doesn’t make sense lore wise because in Halo 2 it’s clear that the Arbiter never experienced the flood face-face when he asked Rtas what a particular smell was while hunting the Heretic Leader.
Cameron Sharif Wasn’t Rtas on a mission at the time too?
"That stench i've smelled it before"
Actually you understand it backwards. It's because of Alpha Halo that he is familiar with the flood.
"doesn't make sense lore wise"
thats because this mission is pure fan-fiction lol
That's not really conclusive. We don't know what was going on in arbiters head during that cutscene. It would be easy to rationalize that rtas has better senses or that the arbiter also started to smell it a little later since rtas entered the chamber before him.
The prophet of truth even tells arby he was right to focus on the flood in the opening cutscene of halo 2 rather than pursue humanity
This is pretty cool.
My Xbox is just my Halo and Gears machine, once MCC is on pc idk what'll happen to it. I'll still have to save it for Gears 4 since the pc port is unplayable :
I need to get my PC fixed and play this because damn this awesome!
Exellent video
Those dislikes are the remaining covenant
I absolutely agree with your opinion about there being too many enemies. The last mission of Lumoria is INSANELY difficult, just wait until you see how many enemies are there. I couldn't count.
I feel like what would be really cool too is if there was a Jiralhanae mission that comes before this one, and you get to progressively see your team turn either into flood or insane, and there must have been a lot of brutes for how many brute forms there are. I also think it's kinda weird how you don't get to work with the brutes even briefly in the already existing mod. I've always wanted to for a while since at some point in Halo Elites and Brutes have fought together before.
there's an Easter egg on the original Halo combat evolved on the early campaign on the cartographer on the PC version where you find flood blood on a particular wall in which you are not able to find on the Xbox version of Halo ce. Even though the player mets the flood in the middle to the end of the game.
