- From a barebones 1:1 port to a now full blown remake of Combat Evolved... it's been one hell of a ride :)
Working on this project has been an absolute blast and taught me so many things about both Halo CE and Halo 3, 3D Modeling and much, much more! I'm very greatful for those who have been supporting and showing interest in the project and I can't WAIT to one day have this project complete. I have so much more cool stuff planned and I'm super excited to reveal them whenever they're ready!

I rlly liked the CE assault rifle in the 2022 version. Understandable you used the 3 version later on. Still both versions are 👍 this mod is a fans dream come true
Don’t like the use of reach assests either. Wish they were up scaled CE ones
There is no Reach assets in this mod besides the grunts, which are technically taken from H2A. Every other asset is Halo 3 and ODST
@@Kashiiera well thats what I mean. I kind of just wish they looked like the ce ones. its a minor nitpick and I know its hard to kitbash/remodel something. I just personally don't like how 343 has put that stuff in the original remasters.
@@Kashiiera Would it be possible for to apply Halo 3 animations to the CE assault rifle?
@@robertogonzalez1907 i was gonna say i don't think it would be possible due to the bolt being different, then i remembered the Halo 2/3 BR is literally a remodeled Halo CE AR and originally used the CE animations in the E3 Demo for Halo 2 so it possibly could be done, but there would need to be some textures redone on the CE model.
This version seriously should've been Halo Anniversary. Clearly, your version has more realistic lighting with Halo 3: ODST assets than what 343i and Certain Affinity botched.
Thank you for all your hard work!
Eh, to be honest, I actually prefer Anniversary as we got it. Not saying it's perfect. But comparing it against Halo CE inserted into Halo 3? Me personally I was never a fan of Halo 3's gunplay and I always thought Halo CE's combat was boss. Halo anniversary nailed the guns of the original. Maybe some feel stronger in classic but some definitely feel like worthy updates of the original guns. The Assault Rifle in Anniversary definitely feels like the big bulky powerhouse diet LMG that it is in classi.c
And I dunno, I like Halo Anniversary's updated environments for its own reasons. Do they perfectly match the "spirit" of the original? Not entirely. The original Halo CE felt very gritty and war-torn whereas Anniversary goes more for like, just these beautiful, vibrant environments (although there's some overlap between the two). But like, I don't "hate" looking at mission 2 of Anniversary, for example. It just depends on what mood I'm in, and that's why the game gives you the option to switch. (That's why I don't understand the hate of Anniversary, honestly, because it's an *optional* graphics layout. It's not designed to be a "replacement" of the original. It's an alternative style, is moreso how I look at it)
Part of it too I guess is I just don't see the appeal of Halo 3. You play Halo CE and it feels like this gory, arcadey mess (in a good way). It's an aggressive shoot em up game where you destroy aliens with big and powerful guns. That's what CE felt like. You go all the way to Halo 3 and it felt like a "toned down" version of Halo, like it's trying to be more "subtle" on the violence aspect. When I play Halo Anniversary, it still feels like this awesomely beefy arcade shooter that the original was. I love blasting through the halls of Truth and Reconciliation on Anniversary (or on classic), with the big fucking meaty assault rifle with 60 rounds per clip, plasma pistol, and 8 grenades and just piledriving through hordes of enemies. Halo 3 doesn't have the same aggressive flow to it. At least the Elites in Halo Anniversary "feel" like Halo CE's elites. At least the other enemies in Halo Anniversary have the fluid AI of Halo CE's enemies. At least the guns fit the bill.
I can't understand why everyone would unanimously shit on Anniversary but then say that 343 should've just released a Halo 3 campaign expansion (basically) based on Halo CE's levels. If the criique against Anniversary is that it's "not true" to the spirit of the original game, what the fuck is to gain if 343 just released a bunch of Halo 3 maps based on Halo CE and called it "Anniversary" and used Halo 3's gameplay in it. Imo, Halo Anniversary feels closer to CE's feel way more than any Halo 3 mod possibly could. Whatever critiques you can make about Anniversary, even if you hate its environmental aesthetic (which I don't), at least it has the enemy scaling of CE (which lends to the game's combat feel), it has the enemy AI and movement of CE, and it has the guns and player movement feel of CE. If "Anniversary" was fighting with the Halo 3 Assault Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Magnum, etc, against Halo 3's AI, that just wouldn't do it for me.
@@zrexx9428I pretty much agree but I would definitely play the s*** out of this mod it looks awesome but yeah you were definitely all I pretty much agree but I would definitely play the s*** out of this mod it looks awesome but yeah you were definitely all to I pretty much agree but I would definitely play the s*** out of this mod it looks awesome but yeah you were definitely all on point on combat evolved gameplay art style etc and yeah Halo haters are just usually the dumbest freaking miserable people I've ever known in the community and are also the reason why Halo sucks now so that's all so their fault and you have 343 made a remake of Halo combat evolved in 3's engine it would have not been bad at all would have been perfect but yeah it probably would have not felt like combat evolved anymore it would have just felt like three with combat evolved over it but it still feels like 3 and then fans would probably be bitching about it which further proves the hypocrites in Idiocracy of most fans of the series and however I really do want a remake of combat evolved and the rest of the series however I wouldn't really want them to just like later games and not feel like how they previously did like I would want the remakes to perfectly recapture of everything that we loved about the previous but also further improve them like fixing troublesome balancing other issues and also doing stuff that we did and later games like trading weapons hijacking assassinations but again as long as they organically and naturally feel and match perfectly with the atmosphere that we loved about the previous entries which is what we would call faithful remake every remake should because I feel like that's what's wrong with today's developers like they feel like they need to make a remake feel like a sequel when it needs to just be the same thing but better as if it just came out today but feels just like how it did back then.
Halo CE always had this ethereal feeling to its environments, and you've made it even more powerful.
I forgot just how spectacular the H2 soundtrack really is
Incredible work! I loved seeing the Halo 3 hunters run out at the end cutscene. I think I agree with some who prefer the CE weapons instead of Halo 3 weapons
Halo CE was the first game I ever played in 2004, seeing a level so ingrained in my memory being remade so well is beautiful, thank you.
Tbh, kinda prefer the Halo CE weapons on the H3 engine
100%! Definitely keep the CE assets to this mod.
Same
At that point just play CE
People like you have complain fir everthing
The work on this is still incredible, and seeing directly how far it’s come in just a year is something to behold. Great job with it!
I miss that curved Halo 3 style HUD!
Dang it looks good. Especially the lighting and colours in the ship.
Great job 👌
You have done a great thing for the CE lovers. Thank you.
The inside of that ship looks SEXY. I don't wanna think too far ahead because this is probably a lot of work, but I can't wait to see what other missions look/feel like. Silent Cartographer for example
I just love how well you got it to fit into Halo 3 art style and graphics quality in general. It looks so natural. If Bungie remade this game in Halo 3's engine back in the day, this is basically what I would expect. 👏👏
The CE sniper design mixed with the halo 3 that you had last year looks brilliant and you definitely shouldn’t kept it. Otherwise all the weapons look great, except maybe the assault rifle which I always thought the halo 3 AR didn’t quite match the design of the CE but it’s a minor gripe. Every thing looks amazing. Also is it true your going to the reach engine later, or are you sticking with the 3/ODST?
Yeah the Halo CE animations def look a lot better
Beautiful work! Crazy part is that this is how my brain remembers Halo CE. Also makes me remember how much of a quarter back us Spartans really were. Nowadays we throw like we’re in High School JV football & not 500 yr into the future super soldier
Excited for 343 GS, Halo and The Maw! Fav levels from CE
Halo ce was my first shooter when I was a kid, played it with my best friend. Still the best game today in my opinion. This looks so god damn beautiful.
It’s beautiful. 🥺
Someone should take a picture
This looks incredible. Amazing work!
I actually like the design of the sniper rifle in the 2022 version because it's more in line with the original Halo CE art style. I also like how the Pelican doesn't clip through the trees.
The indoor environments in the 2023 version look way better. But I think it was a little silly on your part to switch over to the ODST engine just so you can have night vision and a tactical map, Halo CE is pretty linear game and there's really only one nighttime level that would be considered useful to use night vision on, but I digress.
Overall a massive improvement. You should fix up that left shoulder pad so we don't see the inside of Master Chief's arm every time he throws a grenade. Also, I think you should brighten up the transporter room a little bit more and make it so elites with energy swords are visible even if they are invisible. I've never played a Halo game where the energy sword doesn't show all the time, even when cloaked. Actually, maybe in Halo 2, I don't really recall....they definitely don't in CE. I'll tell you that much.
I'm incredibly crass, so take that with a grain of salt
Cloaked energy swords are every Halo after Halo 2, you just don't see it in Halo 3 because there's no enemy elites.
Halo 3: ODST also comes with a firefight mode for utilization, as well as built-in med kits.
When my PC is available again I seriously can't wait to play this mod this alongside single player version 3 or so far the best campaign mods for the game.
Damn, that's really nice. Amazing progress.
Loved how far this mod has come! The switch too odst engine was a great choice!
I love playing this mod every so often, H3's style and feeling just translates so well to CE, and it all just flows so seamlessly together in a really magical way. You did a fantastic job keeping that indescribable feeling a Halo game gives throughout playtime, and I really can't wait to see and play more!
I really appreciate the effort you have made throughout this past year, I always see your tweets and the progress you do from time to time. Thank you ❤
Them halo ce weapon models were prefect
Gameplay footage of Halo CE with Halo 3 assets overlayed with songs from the Halo 2 soundtrack. It doesn’t get more legendary than this.
Looks great. Should be very proud of this!
The interior of the ship has improved in color and detail.
But the outside has gotten the reverse treatment in my opinion. It's way darker and lost that subtle blue fog which gave the otherwise lifeless black screen some depth. I almost commented that there should be less texture on the cliffs. But on second thought, that instinct is only a thing because it's so dark.
The Halo CE Anniversary we needed.
This is like professional quality how it's looking now. Very cool to see how much a year can do.
utterly insane to see this kind of growth in one year, truly some of the most incredible artistic growth ive seen in a project, hats off!!!
Now THIS is the anniversary we should've got.
Well done, this is looking incredible
Awesome work! Keep up the good work!!
Can’t say how much I appreciate going back to the Halo 3 weapon animations. The main thing that drew me away from this mod was the ported animations from CE which, while merit lies in their charm, just feel dated to me, and had me asking “Well why play this if I can just play the original CE?”
That change alone I think is what shifted this from an asset dumpster to the remaster we all wanted in the end. That combined with the updated weapon models that compliment Halo 3’s impeccable lighting engine I think are a great step in the right direction.
I like the weapon/character asset updates personally. Keeps the game fresh and consistent in model/animation quality without sacrificing the original vibe. This is a remake after all and not a direct port. Amazing work!
Friggin' gorgeous progress!
Thanks Kashiiera
Seguire esperando hasta poder jugar todos los niveles, el proyecto te esta quedando genial
Incredible job!
The music !!
Epic work ❤
the difference is incredible! you have become way better at modding in the past year
I just tried this mod. I can't believe how beautiful it is and how great it plays.
I wonder what it's gonna look like in May 2024. Still I'm impressed.
You are a godsend among us all. :D
Now this look amazing. can't wait to play it
I really hope to one day run through the entire campaign of this 🙏🏻
Personally I would have loved if you kept the original models and textures, just upscaled and rendered in Halo 3, but this still looks fantastic
this what combat evolve anniversary should have done
You did a great job Ohana and also I am starting to play all three of the Halo games which is Halo CE, Halo 2 and lastly Halo 3 and if I finish them I might give this Halo 3 Combat Evolved mod a go on the MCC pc if I can too 👍🎮👍🎮👍🎮
looks amazing
Great work, Spartan.
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life
This is really good, I do think some areas need to be just a tad bit brighter cause its a little hard to see. Some scenes are way too dark omi.
But incredible progress none the less.
I think using ODST as the basis of the mod was an excellent decision. To me it feels the most like Halo CE.
Wow amazing
looks amazing, when will you show more levels?
Wow is this the Halo 3 ODST engine? Looks amazing!!!
This is how imagined CE, Back then when I first played🫶🏻
Can’t wait to the full release
I think it ties the whole franchise, specifically the first 5, in better design wise. I think that 3's look is fantastic in CE.
Not the remaster we deserved but the remaster we needed
YESSSS !!!! I don't mind when will it release, I just hope the result will be the best
I truly think your mod will be the best way to experience Halo CE when it is complete. I can't comment your effort enough. It feels so much more faithful to the original than CEA.
Also, I greatly prefer using the Halo 3 weapons/animations over the old ones, not really sure what everyone else is complaining about. The *artstyle* of H3 is very very similar to CE, just more polished. It feels faithful to me and yet still feels like an improvement over the original.
The weapons in CE feels more sturdy and powerful and sadly the weapons of H3 feels like theyre weak plastic toys.
But the mod looks great regardless and as you mentioned MUCH more faithful to the original.
It's perfect 😭
IMO you should use Master Chief's _Halo 3_ armor with Mark V helmet and EOD chest for this mod.
I can't wait for the rest to be completed one of these days. Like DoctorM64 with the fan remake of Metroid 2, I will keep my eye on this.
AWESOME ❤
This looks really good, I'm super excited about the transition from a port to a remake. I am curious however, do you directly port CE's weird and inconsistent weapon sandbox, or did you adjust H3's (still inconsistent but less so) weapon sandbox to try and capture the feeling and intent of CE? Either way still very excited to play this once the update rolls around.
Awesome work!! 🔥
amazing
Wow
This should have been what the Halo CEA should have been. I mean, look at the ship! Much better and more faithful to the original graphics compared to the overdetailed clusterfuck of the Anniversary graphics of the Truth and Reconciliation!
This is totally awesome, great job!!!
If there is a way to make elite’s armor less bulky and if they’re able to stand straight up like in CE, it would be perfect.
I remember something interesting, I recently learned the cancelled Halo Online, and by extension ElDewrito were both based on a heavily modified H3 ODST engine....
Maybe you could "copy" the radar code from there, or the wanky armor abilities like ground pound or vehicle camo.
Would be nice additions
Update the look of the plasma grenades on your next patch up and you’re gold
This is what anniversary should have been....
looks alright
love your work how i can donate some money, also if you remastered de levels on the ring some of theme should have brutes like the book halo the flood
When a mod is better than the actual remaster.
Not gonna lie but I like the old Covenant doors in CE more than the ones in Halo 3.
imagine what halo ce would look like n the year 2030
Halo 3 combat evolved is Black Mesa all over again
The halo 3 elite ai needs a lot of tweak to be as effective as the og
Halo Anniversary, but if it was good.
"Obligatory" dumb 343 jokes/shit-talk aside, this is fantastic. While some deets may not feel consistent with the OG Halo 1 in the eyes of more diehard Halo fans, it certainly does the job of what it sets out to do. Thanks to the mod tools across all MCC titles, a Golden Age of Halo modding has begun.
My only real criticism is that the level is way too bright in the outdoor section. Maybe a light level like in Mombasa streets in ODST might fit better?
Also Elites are coearly the H3 version, thick and easy to hit. Hope someone makes a remastered H1 elite model with animations to match.
The rest looks absolutely amazing though ❤
Oddly I prefer 2022 a lot more.
the assault rifle has 60 rounds your shield charges way slower no auto health harder skin enemys from the demo ive played other then looking more 3 art style the gameplay is so CE well done would recommend to pc players his level is on steam workshop as well as nexus mods
you might want to fix the phasing through the trees on the first part
bravooooooo
Thank you, so much for bringing this mod to life. I know there's so much work to do to it still, but this is the groundwork of a masterpiece. This is wonderful and so perfect, and is how I always imagined Halo: CE looking. Sure, the Anniversary version is beautiful in it's own way, but the dark ambience that you've managed to capture and restore through this mod is fantastic, and is even better thanks to the Halo 3 engine. I cannot wait to see what comes next, especially with the Flood. I hope maybe we'll see HD CE design AI one day, like the ones BaconMedia used in their Silent Cartographer remake. :D
Please never stop developing this mod.
Its pretty cool how you changed from using Halo CE assets/textures to using ones available in 3/ODST.
Perhaps you could work with the Halo Reborn team? I’m certain they could talent like yours!
2022 better imo
the combat is reborn
We can use the Halo CE energy sword?! I always loved the glowy light blue sword in CE. I always wondered why its not a custom skin to use in MCC. Oh yea because 343..
You the best
Can you make it so that the assault rifle can cause enemies to ragdoll when shot to death ?
Melee gives ragdoll but projectiles it’s just death animation
