Sprinting giving you a melee buff to send enemies flying... So Halo 5? I mean, I liked Spartan Charge, but it seems a little hypocritical for people to chastise 343 for doing it and be happy when someone else does it. I know they ain't the same thing, but still.
we also have ours a bit more skillfully intergrated. The window to do it requires exact timing, and there is more consequence if you miss. It's also not a near instant kill on almost everything.
he didn't get to show it, but since we try to do time of day stuff the green swamp is blue at the end of the level, its darker and so much more freaky with the combat going on and the remaining covenant stranglers shields refracting off the rain drops as they get shot
2:29 I don't know why people think sprint is controversial in SPV3. Sprint has almost no effect on single player balance, it's a multiplayer where it forgives poor positioning and movement.
It honestly isn't that hard to run. I played the earlier versions of it on a basic laptop. You'll probably have to turn down the graphics settings but, it should work. Its a free download so give it a try
I mean, it is still a halo CE mod, so even a no-gamer pc should run it at low graphics well enough, I'm telling that from experience because I don't have a beefy pc, and with low resolution and things like special lights, shadows, etc. in off it runs perf.
I absolutely love the reload of the needler and shredder. Yes that's a smaller detail but it definitely seems like what the real reload should be for those weapons.
Yeah really don't need much to run either of these. I have an old laptop running a gtx1050 8gigs of ram and a 4th gen i3. Ce mods still run smooth as butter though
Ok so no one is allowed to get salty over sprint except in h4 where it’s over kill and doesn’t make sense without the enhanced mobility People need to keep in mind bungie tried to do sprint for halo 2
Yup. They did it for every campaign. I played through the reach campaign when that first came out on PC just to see the wholesome end credits scene, but instead, there was nothing... I was very disappointed.
The only thing bothering me is how well you recieve sprint and the melee buff from it ... It’s 80% spartan charge ... But i guess it’s not something to complain about when its a singleplayer experience
we also have ours a bit more skillfully intergrated. The window to do it requires exact timing, and there is more consequence if you miss. It's also not a near instant kill on almost everything.
If the silent shadow are in it, how about chief encounters them, with blue team, and the silent shadow are outnumbered, and chief puts them at gunpoint, and they have a truce and cut down banished, and you can choose to either have a truce or let them return, but if they return, they still hunt you, however, if you truce, banished squads have better weapons and sometimes banished squads will pop up and try to kill you, but the silent shadow help you throughout the entire campaign, and before the missions, you pick three team members, some from blue team, and some from silent shadow, and then, in the mission, he team members you picked help you, but then, next mission you pick new members to go on the mission with.
Not anymore. SPV3 runs on its own separate Custom Edition install, and if you've got a verified copy of either Custom Edition, Halo PC or CE on the MCC, you're good to go.
I’ve followed this mod for years, and finally got the opportunity to private beta test for it! SPV3 has so much love and dedication put into it, and this is the best update yet. I’m really glad that it gets the recognition it deserves, the devs really deserve it.
As I said to someone else, there's some changes in it, you can't infinitely sprint, you you don't go into third person and most importantly, you have to time that melee perfectly and if you fail you are suck falling out of sprint and vulnerable to them. It's high risk/high reward with an emphasis on timing, where as H5 just has you press a button and basically turn into a rocket. It's the same concept, but implementation is key.
@@halo_legacies The mod: leaves you vulnerable if you miss because sprint needs to recharge, BUT you can melee as soon as you start sprinting. Halo 5: you turn into a rocket that can be evaded with thrusters and then left vulnerable if you miss because you cant spartan charge as soon as you start sprint because you need to be at full speed in order to activate the charge. No offense (although it shouldnt, but whatever), but the gameplay in SPV3 is almost the same as Halo 4 and 5 in mechanics and weapon balancing if you nit-pick every aspect of it. Only difference is the lack of Thrusters
Sprint Melee was also a big feature in bungie's Marathon trilogy. In marathon if you run at an enemy and punch them you do alot more damage and fling them backwards.
I want to play this so freaking bad 😭😭😭 it looks beyond incredible. And I completely agree with the flood in firefight. The flood is what halo is about really, there is a lot more they should be doing with them
Man, if Halo 3 ODST would have shipped with (or eventually added) Flood firefight, it would've gone down in history as one of the best things period to ever come to halo. Fighting endless hordes of flood as a simple marines would have been terrifying.
I would assume that flood firefight was never implemented because reach and odst didn't have the flood in them, but I'm hoping that Infinite will have something like it for sure.
I’ve seen plenty of questions and thoughts on it, but where 343 released mod tools and such for Halo 2 recently…is it possible to see an SPV3-like mod for Halo 2? I don’t know if the tools change anything at all, but I still would love to see it happen. Maybe play the Forerunner Tank level, and maybe a warthog run at the end…👀
This mod was fun, though the flood levels were a bit more overwhelming than I would have liked, but still great nonetheless. The short mini campaign was also fun, though my computer couldn't handle zooming in with the alternate BR, kept getting massive frame drops when ever I zoomed in.
I think that how Halo Infinite's firefight (if it gets one) should work is, start out with covenant waves, soon flood will start appearing in the waves (if this characteristic is enabled) and sentinels might join in later on, creating that enemies fighting each other style of gameplay we saw in Two Betrayals, Keyes, and the Maw.
I would not be opposed to Halo Firefight being revamped to have more elements such as adding buyable turrets and traps to hold out a specific area kinda like Gears of War Horde mode

I actually never had to torrent the game. I still have the disc and product key, TO THIS DAY. I loved playing CE on the family PC when I was like 6-12. Great times. Even installed it through the disc on my current PC, even though I also have MCC.
This is such a dumb comparison. CEA is just a visual overhaul, SPV3 overhauls the actual gameplay. I don't get why people keep making this comparison, it's like saying you prefer tart apples to key lime pie. They're two entirely different categories of food, and these two projects have entirely different goals. It'd be like complaining that an RTS doesn't play like a platformer, it's not even criticism.
@@themindfulmoron3790 "CEA is just a visual overhaul, SPV3 overhauls the actual gameplay-" It does more than that. Hello! It uses Open Sauce. There's tons of visual ovehaul as well, it's more closer to a remake than Aniversary is. And at the end of the day, it became an alternative option with Aniversary as a "definitive edition" that new people can or will stick to. So no, it's fair and compehensible comparison.
@@ProsecutorValentine The first paragraph is literally everything I was saying. Anniversary is a remaster, SPV3 is a fully fledged remake. "Definitive edition of CE" but it isn't. Not even close. It plays radically differently, changes story beats, breaks the canon, and does nearly everything it can to be it's own thing. The team literally pride themselves on the premise that SPV3 is an entirely new experience first and a CE expansion second. And even still, it's not comparable. A definitive release of a game is a release that defectively perfects the game original game without changing it so dramatically that it becomes an entirely different game. Definitive releases are faithful and refined, SPV3 is neither, and it shouldn't be. It's experimental. And even regardless of the semantics of "Definitive or not" you're still comparing two products with entirely different goals, and acting like they're trying to achieve the same thing. SPV3 is an artist taking someone else's idea and remaking it entirely with their own twists and turns to create their own personal masterpeice, Anniversary is a tune up and a new coat of paint. It's just going to come down to preference. If you prefer the experimental nature of SPV3's crazy playhouse, then of course you might consider it to be the best version of CE but if you're a fan of the original above all else, then a new coat of paint (even a bad one) is always going to be preferable to what you might consider someone ruining your favourite game. This isn't a debate, it's a bunch of people choosing the most inefficient way to express a subjective opinion on what CE is/should be, and no one who participates ever actually makes any real points. People say SPV3 is good because it's an expansion except that it's not an expansion, and people say it's bad because it's not faithful as a remake, when it wasn't trying to be. Both sets of people, whether they like the mod or not, are fighting over two projected ideals of what SPV3 is, and they're both wrong.
I absolutely love this mod, my only complaint is the focus rifle. I wish he added in the beam rifle instead but that's okay. I can't wait to play, also didn't the mod author say his next project was SPV4 ???
Another thing Experia forgot to mention is that This mod for all the OG levels have text logs sprinkled across. For example on Guilty Spark the Covenant logs explain that the Brutes. Tried to destroy the infection rather than tell the Elites it broke lose, because it would bring even further shame to their race.
Ngl, despite all I didn’t like about them, I’ve always been fond of the “inside chief’s helmet” overlay from H4/H5. I’d absolutely love at least the option to have something like that for campaign/multiplayer/custom games in Infinite along with effects like rain on the visor. That looked honestly phenomenal. Best part of this video lmaoooo.
we have an option to turn the helmet off too, for people that don't want it or really need to squeeze every bit of horsepower to get stable FPS, but I always liked in helmet views since metroid prime.
@@halo_legacies the metroid prime hud is amazing, the amount of detail they put into that game is crazy, especially for it being the first 3D game in the series

art direction isn't the problem, its that we have more assets than any other halo game, in the most limited engine where not everything is editable. If we could redo a lot of stuff, we would but it's just not feasible or technologically possible.
@@halo_legacies having so many mismatched assets and seemingly not a single clue of how to integrate those new ideas into a game they supposedly "know" shows a lack of art direction. the Light bloom and funky colour palette that plagues the mod is not from the engine limitations. For a simple example: the "improved" skybox is overly saturated and overblown in brightness, something looking "cool" on its own doesnt make it a good addition.
@@ffffff52 Want to come join our discord and help give it a facelift then? We'd appreciate and in depth assessment of things you would like to see changed. That sky though, is not ours, that's bungies which they were going to use for the level.
@@halo_legacies I would like to help :) I'll need to play the mod again first, to see the recent changes since the lastime I played it was.... either in May or April last year.
Not gonna lie, I think the guys behind this mod are trying to do too much. I appreciate the addition of new weapons and encounters, but environmentally everything looks so freaking busy. The need do better to scale back on the amount of details showing up on screen.
@@fairplayer916 I hope eventually we can spv3s weapon sandbox, models or textures ported to halo 2 as I'd love to use the incineration cannon (and the firefight exclusive sentinel weapons) in levels like Sacred Icon or Quarantine Zone.
The team behind this needs to get their priorities straight. Stop focusing on new content and start focusing on fixing the horribly designed parts. Just take a look at 6:13 and tell me if that environmental design is even acceptable. A small copy & pasted square of grass texture that stretches over the geometry, with trees and foliage just lazily stuck on top.
I remember only ever seeing raindrops on visors in metroid prime. A game released on the Nintendo gamecube. And I don't remember any other game really doing that. Even the more recent games drops of water were probably just not thought of. But now to have it in a mod it's pretty cool
Gotta say the highlight of this entire update has to be Spartan Craig

Sprinting giving you a melee buff to send enemies flying... So Halo 5? I mean, I liked Spartan Charge, but it seems a little hypocritical for people to chastise 343 for doing it and be happy when someone else does it. I know they ain't the same thing, but still.
we also have ours a bit more skillfully intergrated. The window to do it requires exact timing, and there is more consequence if you miss. It's also not a near instant kill on almost everything.
Those rain effects on 343 guilty spark looked so fitting holy hell
he didn't get to show it, but since we try to do time of day stuff the green swamp is blue at the end of the level, its darker and so much more freaky with the combat going on and the remaining covenant stranglers shields refracting off the rain drops as they get shot
2:29 I don't know why people think sprint is controversial in SPV3. Sprint has almost no effect on single player balance, it's a multiplayer where it forgives poor positioning and movement.
2:22 Hunter cannon??
6:28 Strange ground enemies
8:02 Daaamn, sweet. Loved that in Metro Exodus.
As beautiful as this mod looks, it's a shame my PC probably won't run it..
It honestly isn't that hard to run. I played the earlier versions of it on a basic laptop. You'll probably have to turn down the graphics settings but, it should work. Its a free download so give it a try
I had no issues running it with a 1050ti. So if your graphics card is better than that, your good
I mean, it is still a halo CE mod, so even a no-gamer pc should run it at low graphics well enough, I'm telling that from experience because I don't have a beefy pc, and with low resolution and things like special lights, shadows, etc. in off it runs perf.
@@andreramosv7182 how did you turn off these settings? i didnt see any grahical settings i could change in the spv3.2
@@MrVoete You have to load the game and then you go in settings. After that you select "video" and there you should find those graphic changes.
I absolutely love the reload of the needler and shredder. Yes that's a smaller detail but it definitely seems like what the real reload should be for those weapons.
The only thing missing from this amazing mod is ability to co-op with a buddy ☹️
sadly it won't ever be possible, we actively stripped out all the co-op code from the game
It's called Singeplayer for a reason, But i get what you mean.
Who else was sold when he showed the Craig meme?
Also this and cursed halo are the only reason I want a pc.
Yeah really don't need much to run either of these. I have an old laptop running a gtx1050 8gigs of ram and a 4th gen i3. Ce mods still run smooth as butter though
Ok so no one is allowed to get salty over sprint except in h4 where it’s over kill and doesn’t make sense without the enhanced mobility
People need to keep in mind bungie tried to do sprint for halo 2
I had no idea 343 had removed the original bungie credits from MCC. Sacrilege. It's like they're actively trying to kill the old ways
Yup. They did it for every campaign. I played through the reach campaign when that first came out on PC just to see the wholesome end credits scene, but instead, there was nothing... I was very disappointed.
The Anniversaries team are forbidden to talk to Marty O'Donnell. Go figure.
Crazy how long I’ve been following this mod

@@lawsonryan24 nice shades bro
"You can't just keep playing Halo for the rest of your life!!!"
Me: CRAIG MODE
The only thing bothering me is how well you recieve sprint and the melee buff from it ... It’s 80% spartan charge ... But i guess it’s not something to complain about when its a singleplayer experience
we also have ours a bit more skillfully intergrated. The window to do it requires exact timing, and there is more consequence if you miss. It's also not a near instant kill on almost everything.
If the silent shadow are in it, how about chief encounters them, with blue team, and the silent shadow are outnumbered, and chief puts them at gunpoint, and they have a truce and cut down banished, and you can choose to either have a truce or let them return, but if they return, they still hunt you, however, if you truce, banished squads have better weapons and sometimes banished squads will pop up and try to kill you, but the silent shadow help you throughout the entire campaign, and before the missions, you pick three team members, some from blue team, and some from silent shadow, and then, in the mission, he team members you picked help you, but then, next mission you pick new members to go on the mission with.
The scene where you were fighting the flood with that LMG in the dark hallway reminded me of those AVP arcade games with the mounted guns
Needing Halo: Custom Edition was the one thing holding me back from trying this.
A bit strange since it's basically free (you can find a reusable code online) and a very small download
Not anymore. SPV3 runs on its own separate Custom Edition install, and if you've got a verified copy of either Custom Edition, Halo PC or CE on the MCC, you're good to go.
I’ve followed this mod for years, and finally got the opportunity to private beta test for it! SPV3 has so much love and dedication put into it, and this is the best update yet. I’m really glad that it gets the recognition it deserves, the devs really deserve it.

Oh i love the hipocrisy. Thats literally what Sprint and Spartan Charge let you do in Halo 5. But of course because not 343, its good
As I said to someone else, there's some changes in it, you can't infinitely sprint, you you don't go into third person and most importantly, you have to time that melee perfectly and if you fail you are suck falling out of sprint and vulnerable to them. It's high risk/high reward with an emphasis on timing, where as H5 just has you press a button and basically turn into a rocket.
It's the same concept, but implementation is key.
@@halo_legacies
The mod: leaves you vulnerable if you miss because sprint needs to recharge, BUT you can melee as soon as you start sprinting.
Halo 5: you turn into a rocket that can be evaded with thrusters and then left vulnerable if you miss because you cant spartan charge as soon as you start sprint because you need to be at full speed in order to activate the charge.
No offense (although it shouldnt, but whatever), but the gameplay in SPV3 is almost the same as Halo 4 and 5 in mechanics and weapon balancing if you nit-pick every aspect of it. Only difference is the lack of Thrusters
This is so awesome to see. I hope to see Spv3 for MCC
This looks terrible and proves not everything needs to be modded. The original is and always will be the absolute best version.
Can’t spartans see in the dark though?
Not in gameplay they can't
Crash Titan - with the flashlight or night vision they can
@@RatsFunHouse101 well that's more of aiding their vision rather than letting them see in the dark completely
Honestly one of the best mods to a game I've seen
Has it's own launcher and doesnt have any overcomplicated duplicating file requirements? Well I'm sold
The sprint melee is just the Halo 5 spartan charge lol
Sprint Melee was also a big feature in bungie's Marathon trilogy. In marathon if you run at an enemy and punch them you do alot more damage and fling them backwards.
That is also present in halo ce but not many know this
@@shaheer1172 is this a joke?
@@theamazingquetzal3933 nope. One of the devs said that

How amazing would that be if he was able to transfer this over to MCC

Maybe when mod tools came to mcc that might’ve possible
My Processor stopped working today and this was the last game I played. My computer died peacefully

I want to play this so freaking bad 😭😭😭 it looks beyond incredible. And I completely agree with the flood in firefight. The flood is what halo is about really, there is a lot more they should be doing with them
it will run on almost any PC hardware, won't look as good as it does here though of course on lower end systems
Man, if Halo 3 ODST would have shipped with (or eventually added) Flood firefight, it would've gone down in history as one of the best things period to ever come to halo. Fighting endless hordes of flood as a simple marines would have been terrifying.
I would assume that flood firefight was never implemented because reach and odst didn't have the flood in them, but I'm hoping that Infinite will have something like it for sure.
This comment aged well
Halo 2 launched with more content and still has more than infinite
I’ve seen plenty of questions and thoughts on it, but where 343 released mod tools and such for Halo 2 recently…is it possible to see an SPV3-like mod for Halo 2? I don’t know if the tools change anything at all, but I still would love to see it happen. Maybe play the Forerunner Tank level, and maybe a warthog run at the end…👀
Halo: Point of Light, by Kelly Gay.

Incredibly good stuff, again. Wish it was on mcc would love to see console players get to play.
I would love to get to play
@@alexanderthegreat6682 it's pretty easy to run. My not great laptop chugs along fine for example. I'm by no means a pc gamer not since xbl launched.
This mod was fun, though the flood levels were a bit more overwhelming than I would have liked, but still great nonetheless. The short mini campaign was also fun, though my computer couldn't handle zooming in with the alternate BR, kept getting massive frame drops when ever I zoomed in.
I just finished playing the mod and i didnt use br at all what alternate br are u talking about and what happen when u zoom
I think that how Halo Infinite's firefight (if it gets one) should work is, start out with covenant waves, soon flood will start appearing in the waves (if this characteristic is enabled) and sentinels might join in later on, creating that enemies fighting each other style of gameplay we saw in Two Betrayals, Keyes, and the Maw.
12:30 “is something wrong?” YES. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG.
The only thing that’s not my cuppa is the textures. They just feel like the sharpness has been buffed all the way up
*Craig customization is the best thing about it.*
Man they should bring this to the mcc workshop
I noticed on the Maw using the flashlight and not the sword will make the mission easier to see. The flashlight also doesn't run out.
I would not be opposed to Halo Firefight being revamped to have more elements such as adding buyable turrets and traps to hold out a specific area kinda like Gears of War Horde mode
I'm glad you can change Chief's appearance, because I think the SPV3 model is really ugly
I really wish i could play this. I need to get a PC. I don't care about all the lore purists that bitch about Brutes and Skirmishers i need it
well, canonically speaking, they could have been there, in the lore mainline.
@@TheHutDave No not at all lol Elite Fleets don't merge with Brute fleets and the fleet that was on Installation 04 was Arbiters. I suppose the Skirmishers could have been there but Arbiters fleet didn't have any in their ranks.
In the book The Flood, ODST appear quite commonly, which is kind of cool
Imagine a world where 343 wholly embraced mods and this gets an official release on MCC
You'd think at the very least this one would be embraced!
Essentially it'll just replace h1 being halo ce ++
@Sez B wait what? Lol it would be awesome for this to be an easily accessible option for folks that want it

I actually never had to torrent the game. I still have the disc and product key, TO THIS DAY. I loved playing CE on the family PC when I was like 6-12. Great times. Even installed it through the disc on my current PC, even though I also have MCC.
I prefer *Halo: CE Anniversary* much more than SPV to be completely honest.
This is such a dumb comparison. CEA is just a visual overhaul, SPV3 overhauls the actual gameplay. I don't get why people keep making this comparison, it's like saying you prefer tart apples to key lime pie. They're two entirely different categories of food, and these two projects have entirely different goals. It'd be like complaining that an RTS doesn't play like a platformer, it's not even criticism.
@@themindfulmoron3790 "CEA is just a visual overhaul, SPV3 overhauls the actual gameplay-"
It does more than that. Hello! It uses Open Sauce. There's tons of visual ovehaul as well, it's more closer to a remake than Aniversary is.
And at the end of the day, it became an alternative option with Aniversary as a "definitive edition" that new people can or will stick to. So no, it's fair and compehensible comparison.
@@ProsecutorValentine The first paragraph is literally everything I was saying. Anniversary is a remaster, SPV3 is a fully fledged remake.
"Definitive edition of CE" but it isn't. Not even close. It plays radically differently, changes story beats, breaks the canon, and does nearly everything it can to be it's own thing. The team literally pride themselves on the premise that SPV3 is an entirely new experience first and a CE expansion second. And even still, it's not comparable. A definitive release of a game is a release that defectively perfects the game original game without changing it so dramatically that it becomes an entirely different game.
Definitive releases are faithful and refined, SPV3 is neither, and it shouldn't be. It's experimental. And even regardless of the semantics of "Definitive or not" you're still comparing two products with entirely different goals, and acting like they're trying to achieve the same thing. SPV3 is an artist taking someone else's idea and remaking it entirely with their own twists and turns to create their own personal masterpeice, Anniversary is a tune up and a new coat of paint.
It's just going to come down to preference. If you prefer the experimental nature of SPV3's crazy playhouse, then of course you might consider it to be the best version of CE but if you're a fan of the original above all else, then a new coat of paint (even a bad one) is always going to be preferable to what you might consider someone ruining your favourite game. This isn't a debate, it's a bunch of people choosing the most inefficient way to express a subjective opinion on what CE is/should be, and no one who participates ever actually makes any real points. People say SPV3 is good because it's an expansion except that it's not an expansion, and people say it's bad because it's not faithful as a remake, when it wasn't trying to be.
Both sets of people, whether they like the mod or not, are fighting over two projected ideals of what SPV3 is, and they're both wrong.
I absolutely love this mod, my only complaint is the focus rifle. I wish he added in the beam rifle instead but that's okay. I can't wait to play, also didn't the mod author say his next project was SPV4 ???
SPV3.4, it will be an open world adventure built on top of our content in SPV3.3
Made me happy to see the CE credits again
Another thing Experia forgot to mention is that This mod for all the OG levels have text logs sprinkled across. For example on Guilty Spark the Covenant logs explain that the Brutes. Tried to destroy the infection rather than tell the Elites it broke lose, because it would bring even further shame to their race.
2:32 So basically Spartan Charge from Halo 5
Thats what I was thinking
Not exactly more like from ce. Yes its present in ce but not many people know this
I hope they bring this to Steam at some point
SPV3 is overrated.
I kinda felt like the whole Halo SPV project really inspired a lot of Halo Infinite gameplay. Like taking over FOBs
The fact that this is on a 20 year old engine. Surprises me.

Ehh. I really can't bring myself to play anything that isn't Canon. Too big of a lore prude
Same lmao. It's fun, but it's not my cup of tea.
Ngl, despite all I didn’t like about them, I’ve always been fond of the “inside chief’s helmet” overlay from H4/H5. I’d absolutely love at least the option to have something like that for campaign/multiplayer/custom games in Infinite along with effects like rain on the visor.
That looked honestly phenomenal. Best part of this video lmaoooo.
we have an option to turn the helmet off too, for people that don't want it or really need to squeeze every bit of horsepower to get stable FPS, but I always liked in helmet views since metroid prime.
@@halo_legacies the metroid prime hud is amazing, the amount of detail they put into that game is crazy, especially for it being the first 3D game in the series
I've always wanted halo to just have huge tone shift to horror when it came to the flood every time they showed up
I really hope we see this level of mod(s) with all the Halo games that are now also on PC
I've been meaning to play this MOD for sometime but now I am more than excited to do so, thanks for the recommendation
So is the mindset “adding because its cool” gone or has the art direction/sandbox been better?
that was never the mindset to start. We can talk hours about every addition and change and how it effects the sandbox and what was considered and changed. Like if you have a question about it, feel free to ask here, discord or reddit
@@halo_legacies did this major update improve some of the balancing problems of spv3.2 where a lot of the weapons were just worse in every situation?
@@V2ULTRAKill not really, we stand by our balance and urge players to learn the game, it can feel overwhelming at first but we added a hint system in to help struggling players understand the sandbox. You can find it in the customization menu

I was just finding little reason to use some weapons on legendary or noble but it mightve been my lack of knowledge. Like I said in another reply I respect the team and I'm glad you guys work so hard, also the smg is my favorite addition and my workhorse weapon in my playthroughs

Wwoooww Hidden Xperia, I have the original Xbox version of halo combat evolved, and even I know about the Original end credit cutscene!😂
I see SPV3 still lacks a competent or not-bliind Art director...
art direction isn't the problem, its that we have more assets than any other halo game, in the most limited engine where not everything is editable. If we could redo a lot of stuff, we would but it's just not feasible or technologically possible.
@@halo_legacies having so many mismatched assets and seemingly not a single clue of how to integrate those new ideas into a game they supposedly "know" shows a lack of art direction. the Light bloom and funky colour palette that plagues the mod is not from the engine limitations. For a simple example: the "improved" skybox is overly saturated and overblown in brightness, something looking "cool" on its own doesnt make it a good addition.
@@ffffff52 Want to come join our discord and help give it a facelift then? We'd appreciate and in depth assessment of things you would like to see changed. That sky though, is not ours, that's bungies which they were going to use for the level.

I'm hoping that the campaign isn't just "same level but extended" again...wanted to love SPV3 but the campaigns repetition kind of killed it for me.
by the later half of the game, its less extended missions and just more missions.
Not gonna lie, I think the guys behind this mod are trying to do too much. I appreciate the addition of new weapons and encounters, but environmentally everything looks so freaking busy. The need do better to scale back on the amount of details showing up on screen.
