How to install: Since Halo Combat Evolved is abandonware, this is ONLY for educational purposes: 1) Install Halo CE tinyurl.com/HCEPC - Mount the ISO and install it anywhere EXCEPT Program Files 2) Patch to 1.01 (Correct file: ✅Halo PC 1.0.10, ❌Halo CE 1.0.10) tinyurl.com/HPatch101 3) Install Chimera (optional but recommended) github.com/SnowyMouse/chimera 4) Open chimera.ini, locate the "Font Override Settings" section, and change enabled=1 to enabled=0 5) Install latest version of Halo CEVR github.com/LivingFray/HaloCEVR 6) Launch the game once in flatscreen, then launch again in VR. Done! Note: PVP works but buggy, not really recommended. If you have Chimera you can join any multiplayer servers. There is no co-op. Halo Custom Edition doesn't seem to work. Tips: - You can change the VR settings in Halo\VR\config.txt For example, you can change SnapTurn to true or false for snap/smooth turning. You can also change UI/Hud settings or gun/hand rotation etc. - You can add haptics & change the controls in SteamVR bindings to your liking Common bugs: - At the start in Pillar of Autumn, the calibration asks you to look around, if you can't get past it switch to desktop view and do it. Alternatively, shake your mouse a little - No sound? Make sure your game is focused, click on it - Missing crosshair? SteamLink has a bug where it hides the aiming reticle, try a different VR software - If you are warping, make sure you follow the instructions properly in the correct order. If still warping, try switching different VR software. (EG: Link, SteamLink, Virtual Desktop etc) Virtual Desktop is known to give warping for this for some reason - Vehicles are a bit buggy, you'll shake a bit while you're entering vehicles - Update 1.01 just came out that should fix the white screen bugs
The HUD is actually anchored to your view, what you're seeing is a recording so it looks a little different! When you turn your head the HUD is snapped on to exactly where you look at all times

if you install chimera it can load custom edition maps into halo pc. however for custom weapons if they weren't rigged to the correct bones they wont appear in vr
@GR1M_VR the definitive way to play. Able to use dual wield/equip weapons on offhand. Melee with all weapons. Weapon tweaks if desired and virtual stock. For example I'll use like a pistol right hand and crowbar left during the early parts. Later on you can do more fun stuff like throwing grenades while shooting. Even if you don't dual wield all the time the virtual stock with shotgun is a game changer for me, becomes real steady and tactical.
oh my god i wish 343 didn't hire other person working on Halo VR when MCC came out, he stopped working on the mod then later got laid off iirc either way that one died
I've been playing Contrators VR with the massive Halo mod community for years and it's been immense for anyone who's interested in a quest standalone Halo! This is awesome!
I'm terrified of the thought of it would be like to encounter the Flood in VR. If Half-Life: Alyx is any indication, that would be mortifying, yet very cool!
I may be in the minority but you’re awesome for putting this without talking over the game and trying to get cut scenes to the right angle. I’d watch if you did the whole game!
There's a website called game nostalgia you can get the fame for free it's a 23 yr old game@@vrASMR180 so not hard to get free cracked version of the game
You are a legend thank you very much for making this mod and for making halo fans dreams come true, much respect, just did a video on it uploading now.
This works pretty well out the box and is fun! But I gotta ask, what settings do you use in the VR config file, as well as settings in Halo? I'm having an issue where the HUD looks fine, but text on screen like, mission objectives and pickup weapon prompts take up the ENTIRE HUD space, most the time being so large you can't read all of it because it is cut off by the edges. The pause menu is also heavily broken, with no text being present at all. Edit: I apologize, I actually missed a step in the settings for if you use Chimera mod. Works great now!
IVE BEEN WAITING SO SO SO VERY LONG FOR THIS. Also is there any way you can get in Contact with TeamBeef and get this ported to the Quest headset? This is insane
hey dude, I have a question, is there any way to unbind jump from the right stick? (quest 3) I keep accidentally hopping around while turning if it's not perfectly horizontal turns.
This is so cool! But the Contractors Halo mod imo is way better and smoother with reload animations. But still this is nostalgic and being able to blend the two together would be great.
would it be possible at all to make this for CE for online play? specifically, what is blocking it from being on MCC? either way its a marvel and really cool
This looks amazing! I have to wonder whether I'll be able to run it though. Would you say a 2023 Nitro 5 laptop paired with the Quest 3 could run this smoothly?
could you make a tutorial ? i've tries multiple times but when i launch it in vr it just goes into cinema mod. one of my problem could be caused by not finding the openvr_api.dll even though i followed the steps.
Seems to need a little work but man... the possibilities. Especially if someone takes on the task of setting up the later games for VR. What with the sprinting and abilities.
Imagine if Microsoft cared and made a VR remaster for their WMR. Who am I kidding, they didn’t even manage to add more than two tracking cameras or improve the controllers.
for those getting direct x errors heres the fix: HALO - Fatal Error We are sorry, but you need to have DirectX 9.0b installed to run this program. Please run Halo PC setup again to install DirectX. i noticed halo runs fine up until I add the files from the halocevr mod. I did two things to fix it 1. starting the game in a window don’t need it fullscreen on the PC display. 2. only starting the game from that shortcut after youve already started your steamvr and connected your headset. to make the shortcut window: Right click on the shortcut on you desktop and go to properties on "target" there should be a link that looks like this "C:\Games\Halo\halo.exe" to make it a small window just add "-window" and it should look like this "C:\Games\Halo\halo.exe" -window
you buy a used PC disc or ask a friend nicely if he/she can borrow it you for a day, since you only need it to install it and the cd keys are multi use anyway.

i know its too soon to ask but is h2VVR in the works? :O
No coop?
But multiplayer works? Weird
@@xxPYROxxJONESxx That's because the original Halo CE only had split screen co-op, but not internet/lan co-op
Is this website secure ? Dont going to have malwares or so ?
If the HUD was anchored into your view like Chief's helmet and some arms and legs this would be perfect.
I came here to say the same thing about the HUD.
Yes!
it is, when you screen record in the quest it just looks different.
The HUD is actually anchored to your view, what you're seeing is a recording so it looks a little different! When you turn your head the HUD is snapped on to exactly where you look at all times

This is beyond amazing. Years in the making, an actual genuine Halo VR mod. I wonder how this would've played with custom edition!
Ppl will make mods of this mod now
if you install chimera it can load custom edition maps into halo pc. however for custom weapons if they weren't rigged to the correct bones they wont appear in vr
@@zachogdahl210Mmm! A start!
Remember playing Halo on the Xbox, it was so legendary at the time. Hard to explains the feels of playing this was your friends as young teens.
Truly a magical moment in time that cannot be described in words
@LunchAndVR Can only be described by a chorus of monks as it was then.
@@tobiasmyers3505 AAH AA AAHH AA HAA HAAA HAAAAAA
One of my friends was one of the first halo tournament players, and he would demolish all of us 1V3 like we were standing still. Epic
Holy shit this actually has me so hyped, I’ve been waiting for someone to bring a halo campaign to vr for so long lol
@@GIBBEH this is the way
I was literally looking for this type of mod like 2 weeks ago and now it's here. BLESS
SAME! Everything popped up ad either contractors, or the guy who was making the mcc vr mod (hired by 343 and stopped)
I'm so hyped omg
C++ and open source... Guess I'll have to give it the "unleashed" treatment eventually :)
Halo UNLEASHED
Thats what im talking about HL2 Unleashed is one of the absolutely peak VR experiences, on my second full hl2 playthrough with unleashed
@JohnnyBlayze hl2 unleashed? I played hl2 vr but Idk what unleashed is.
@GR1M_VR the definitive way to play. Able to use dual wield/equip weapons on offhand. Melee with all weapons. Weapon tweaks if desired and virtual stock. For example I'll use like a pistol right hand and crowbar left during the early parts. Later on you can do more fun stuff like throwing grenades while shooting. Even if you don't dual wield all the time the virtual stock with shotgun is a game changer for me, becomes real steady and tactical.
@JohnnyBlayze I'll check it our. Thanks dude
this is amazing, i knew this would be a thing one day! If you made Halo 2 in this it would be a dream come true
Someone do it
Holy cow, I've been waiting for someone to take up the mantle that Reclaimer dropped for years!
The cutscenes make me want to throw up but this mod is great, you truly haven’t lived until you punched an elite with a nice melee. Amazing job.
I don't even need to finish watching the video instant download
This is the way
oh my god
i wish 343 didn't hire other person working on Halo VR when MCC came out, he stopped working on the mod then later got laid off iirc
either way that one died
I thought Nibre was still working at 343 or well Halo Studios now. Sucks if he got laid off.
We had a chance at reach vr
This is awesome. Thank you for doing what we have been wanting! Great to have another VR singleplayer game to play
No f-ing wayyyyyyyy! Youre a hero my dude!!!
I've been playing Contrators VR with the massive Halo mod community for years and it's been immense for anyone who's interested in a quest standalone Halo! This is awesome!
This is the way
No way, you have to add dual wielding or- cough cough halo 2 soon pls i wanna get all over those jackals in the courtyard
You did an absolutely fantastic job on this. I sincerely hope if anybody offers you job you get paid much more than you could ever imagine.
thank you for sharing this!!!! i’ve been wanting this for so long
this is the first time i have ever considered getting vr
@@andrej-vukov nice
I'm terrified of the thought of it would be like to encounter the Flood in VR. If Half-Life: Alyx is any indication, that would be mortifying, yet very cool!
finally, immersive t-bag
I have been asking for this for years! I am so incredibly excited!
Excuse me? Holy shit, this is such a huge undertaking. Is there anywhere I can stay up to date about this project?
You can follow the github link in description, also asking Flat2vr to setup a discord section!
Discord is up! discord.gg/A4yjt46B
Woah! Great work! I'll have to dust off my Quest and give this a go.
Never played this game, but now I want to check it out.
this is the last game you'll aver install. multiplayer is so fun. custom edition is fun too.
I may be in the minority but you’re awesome for putting this without talking over the game and trying to get cut scenes to the right angle. I’d watch if you did the whole game!
@@jaredfusco5568 thank you, I feel the same way about it and I like other people doing it too
time to find my disc version from 20 years ago
Where can I buy this?

And I thought Bonelab was going to be the way to make Halo missions in VR
Remember the modder who did a demo and then microsoft I think hired him and you saw the end of it? Now were COOOKIIIIN! 😂
IVE BEEN WAITING SO SO SO VERY LONG FOR THIS. Also is there any way you can get in Contact with TeamBeef and get this ported to the Quest headset?
This is insane
Discord server lol
"You really feel like a Master Chief" IGN, probably
Amazing! I can't wait to play this!!
Aw no manual reload? That’s a shame, that’s my favorite part in vr games, just taking out the magazine and slapping in a new one. Always feels good
YOOOOOO THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!!! 😺😺😺😺
So I get a download of The free Halo Custom Edition, then the campaign levels, and then this mod. This will be perfect.
Someone needs make those compatible
A real HALO VR mod?? I'm about to cry... does it work with the Masterchief Collection or do I need the original game?
Original PC version from what I read.
Canting (holding Rifle at an Angle) the Halo AR just looks fuckin Cool as shit
Just missing manual reload
Incredible work... just wow
All I am gonna say to the people planning on playing this is: Have fun at the Library.
Oh god, I think 343 will be worse though
Amazing! Shame it's not the MCC version too, I'd love to try this with the Cursed mod :D
You literally the goat
Now if only there was a way to combine this with the Halo arcade game that comes with Assault Rifles!
This looks real good!
Bro, you gotta go Legendary! 😂😂😂
I can't, too hard you can do it!
this looks awesome
I KNEW I KEPT MY HARD COPY OF HALO ON PC ALL THESE YEARS FOR A REASON!!
Awesome. I will try this.
Now I want a real Halo VR game. Would be pretty cool ngl
THIS IS DREAM COME TRUE
hey dude, I have a question, is there any way to unbind jump from the right stick? (quest 3) I keep accidentally hopping around while turning if it's not perfectly horizontal turns.
This is amazing, while we’re on the topic of porting old games into vr can someone Please make an oblivion VR mod.
This is so cool! But the Contractors Halo mod imo is way better and smoother with reload animations. But still this is nostalgic and being able to blend the two together would be great.
I'm definitely gonna have to do a legendary playthrough this way
HOLY SHIT! Thank you!
Oh my god Christmas came early.
Again, modders out here making the games we ACTUALLY want while the companies flop like helpless fish wondering how to make money and not good games
It says I don't have enough space on my CDROM to be able to move the VR files to the Halo files like I have to for the set up. Any suggestions??
To melee attack, do you press a button or just punch?
hey the one who did this. They should be working for them.
Really fun so far, just wish I could stop accidently jumping when I turn my camera half the time lol
Just rebind jump or choose someone else’s bindings in steamVR
Legendary difficulty got you doing backflips and roll dodges in no time, O guarantee it, if you like it or not!
I can't get out of the cryo tube when it says "E" to exit but does nothing when I press E?
Time to dig out the Quest
in the "Font Override Settings" section witch option i have to change to enable 0? all of them ? , or just "Enable overriding Chimera's fonts"
would it be possible at all to make this for CE for online play? specifically, what is blocking it from being on MCC? either way its a marvel and really cool
How awesome would this be if you could sidequest it on the Quest 3 standalone!
It theoretically could be possible since you can play PC games on Android via Winlator but would take a loonngg time
Any possibility of this coming to quest? I don't have a PC that can run vr
Shame there's no manual reloading but this is pretty amazing
The plasma rifle looks cool in VR
It really does!
Does it require retail PC or is it compatible with custom edition?
OH MY GOOOODDDDDD
Does this utilize the old disk game or can it work with MCC?
Install Halo: Combat Evolved for PC using an original installation CD + product key.....
So we cant play it?
you need the 1.10 patch.
Beautiful
Awesome work but the static hud bothers me more than it should
Wish it could be made standalone for the Quest series
This looks amazing! I have to wonder whether I'll be able to run it though. Would you say a 2023 Nitro 5 laptop paired with the Quest 3 could run this smoothly?
