I'm excited to get back to doing forerunner environments, next mission will most likely be Halo, The Silent Cartographer or Assault on The Control Room. But first I'll start work on a new Multiplayer map since the only ones available right now are Danger Canyon and Chasm 34 and I don't want to keep Multiplayer hanging with just 2 maps haha
AOTCR would be my vote
@@sethaaron95 She might want to so something small before entering AOTCR so she gets familiar with the Forerunner assets well enough Silent Cartographer would be a good one to choose. Since AOTCR is very repetitive layout is the reason. But if she did AOTCR first, she could also do Two Betrayals alongside this as well for development reasons, which is another reason to do this (like T & R/Keyes)! Silent Cartographer on the other hand (same with Halo) are only used once in the original CE campaign.
@@Finger112 Plus, TSC was quite important as a test level for Bungie. In that way it kind of makes sense for her to test out creating Forerunner architecture starting with the TSC.
Oh how I miss the bronze plating, the aged-look, brutalist architecture, and the wall murals of the Bungie era of Halo 🙏
Halo would be my vote.
Incredible work, this is what CE Anniversary should have been.
100% agreed
Porting CE for Halo 3 engine would not only play and look better but would also be less costly.
This type of graphical lighting and telemetry was not capable in 2011-2012 when they did the Anniversary edition. I am definitely looking forward to playing back through one of the greatest games of all-time when this comes out.
@@SuperSnakePlissken Doesn’t this use the ODST engine? So wasn’t this type of stuff already possible?
@@MauricioJarayeah this is the halo 3 engine which came out in 2007, CEA came out in 2011
I don't care if it takes 5 years. The entire campaign will be worth the wait.
I Especially love how you're focusing on Truth & Reconciliation & Keys at this point in time, as doing 2 missions set in the same location makes things less time consuming on your end.
I can't even complain that it's another trailer for Keyes, because IT LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD. I swear, every iteration I think "wow, this looks dev-made. Can't be any better", but then you make it so much better. Keep up the awesome work!
Yeah lol I find it a bit annoying myself but I had to this time, the old version was pretty bad and I couldn't just drag and drop the tags from Halo 3 into the ODST mod tools
@@Kashiieracan't wait until a full campaign release!
You’ve got such an awesome eye for the art and design, let alone the actual technical know how to pull a mod like this off. Bravo!
Only wish the artificial intelligence characters resembled their Combat Evolved counterparts like The Master Chief does.
So excited! Love the Halo 3/ODST style. Peak Halo imo. Thanks for giving us a great mod!
02:15 ...that visor reflection of Keyes. Bravo! 👏
This is the work of a true fan of the Halo Franchise. Take notes 343!!
Literally enough to bring a tear to the eye how beautiful it is, like many are saying I wish something like this is what Halo CE Anniversary was
the lighting and environment at 1:10 is beautiful. I love how in the original halo ce covenant architecture is very dark with its purples and blues and I felt like the anniversary edition really ruined that look by adding to much lighting and making worse textures, but this looks incredible. Exactly how I'd expect the remaster to look
I love playing the firefight version of this on the go.
This is one of the most visually amazing mods i’ve seen in a while. Awesome work, Kashiera!
Literally only gripe I could even remotely think of is the top of the hud being completely flat instead of looking like Halo 3’s, but even that feels like a tiny nitpick. This is phenomenal work, far beyond anything CE:A had to offer.
on the blood of our brothers this is majestic
The map lighting looks amazing, chief model incredible as well
As for the interior with the fog and flood biomass, I'm glad you could add those to give the impression of the ship actually being overrun by the flood.
As much as I am impressed I think the ship interior has too much light?
Maybe you could add less lights in there to increase the spooky atmosphere and have the player rely more on their flashlight/visor.
I just played through Keyes. This was genuinely one of the best experiences I had with a Halo 3 mod. It feels so authentic and you made the Halo 3 assets perfectly emulate the feeling I had in combat evolved. And I just want to also say I am so glad you REMOVED the dialogue from the Flood. Hearing the Flood in Halo 3 speak was honestly immersion breaking
Your dedication to this project is astounding, eagerly awaiting the final release!
I shared your video and your mod and credited on a few of my pages online. And I linked both this video and your mod on my pages as well in my posts. I downloaded the mod and started playing this version I played the previous one too.
I will wait 20 years for this to be fully ready if I have to. Excellent work!
Just got back from playing the Mod. And Honestly, It was very fun.
*BUGS:*
Not sure if these count as bugs but In the opening cutscene, the camera passes through some parts of the Geometry. And at the end of the level, when our Banshee moves to the right, it collides into the edge of the ship.
You mentioned on the steam page that the VISR mode isn't finalised. Well it seems to work very well for me during my playthrough.
*MY EXPERIENCE:*
I honestly love how the sandbox is utilised, Making the Active Camo & Overshield set to our power up button instead of being activated upon touch allows us to play more strategically instead of just Gunning it.
I love how the sniper is easier to use as killing flood in the original was almost impossible with it. Here, I'm more easily able to aim for the infection forms in the combat forms' bodies which is a nice touch.
I like how the Shotgun is also no longer a "Get-out-of-jail-free" card when it comes to killing infected Elites, as their shields are rather wonky which makes shots feel like a 50% Hit-or-miss. Contrast this to normal elites who are more susceptible. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the Shotgun itself, or if it's just a weird quirk of Halo 3's AI damage tables. Regardless, The shotgun is about 70% as useful as it was in OG Halo 1, which is a move I feel is good as this forces the player to think about using other weapons. When facing hordes of infected elites with the shotgun, I felt as if I was almost always on the back-foot, and ran out of ammo if I wasn't shooting the shotgun conservatively as the infected elites were rushing me. This also prompted me to use my grenades a lot more if I couldn't deal with the horde of infected Elites, so I couldn't just save the grenades for large hoards in other areas I would normally use them in. This amplifies the sense of fear I felt as the flood are supposed to be scary. Which is very good in terms of atmosphere.
Sadly, I didn't use the needler or AR, so I have no comments on them.
*CONCLUSION:*
This mod looks pretty much finished to me. Aside from a couple of bugs you mentioned on the steam page, I'd say it's VERY well done.
I give it a Solid 10/10.
Once you feel you're done with "The Truth & Reconciliation" & "Keys" what missions do you plan on remaking next? Do you plan on adding more H3 weapons like the Carbine?
I wonder how the Library will play with how your version of the shotgun works against infected elites, it would make the level a lot more terrifying, which I cannot wait to see, as Pistol/Shotgun will no longer be the default choices for most players.
Yeah those floodcombat elites are a real pain in the ass lol, I honestly don't know why they tank so much shots sometimes. All of the Halo 3 weapons are available to use in Multiplayer through the custom games settings and the forge palette and in Firefight the enemies will also carry them, for campaign I have plans to have a hub world that's set in Alpha Base where you'll be able to select your loadouts and stuff for the next mission which is how you'll be able to select Halo 3 weapons.
As for the next mission, either Halo or The Silent Cartographer and for Multiplayer I haven't decided yet but I did start working on a remake of Death Island (twitter.com/Kashiiera/status/1687231056024424448)
Oh and I meant the VISR TACMAP haha, I've only gotten the first 2 areas viewable on the TACMAP
@@Kashiiera
I see.
I hardly used the map since we all played Halo 1 a million times, to the point that we've all memorised the layouts.
But it's a nice touch.
Kash... simply amazing! Great work! And that thumbnail...
Amazing how Halo 3’s lighting and engine still hold up to this day. A testament to Bungie’s legacy and the amount of labor and love that went into it.
The amount of work put into this is just astounding, keep going, this is great !
That HUD is beautiful
I love how dark it is, brings out the horror
Hi Kashiiera, I'm really happy that you made this. #doWhatYouDoBest

Oh my.... This is beautiful 😍😍😍😍 Really great job, keep on this project. You are awesome💪
Man this song is my jam.
I know so many people that are eagerly waiting for this mod to finish. Take as much time as you need to cook, we'll all love it when it's ready!
Absolutely loving this!!
The quality is some next level stuff
Big thank you for investing your time creating this and sharing it with us.
Amazing stuff, I'm still in awe of how good looking your missions are!
cool to see you here
Wow, this is just incredible. HUGE props for what you’ve done here!
It's hilarious but heart warming to see a lone Halo fan run laps around 343. Love this, subscribed and will check out the pre-release on the workshop :)
I love this!!! Now how about a Halo 3 demake? Take the whole halo 3 campaign and port it over to the CE engine
That looks awesome ! wish the new halo had this type of design and story with the flood.
Congrats on your release! Absolutely beautiful work.
God this looks amazing, keep it up!
Fantastic work as always
this is badass thank you for this. CE is my favorite game and this makes me really happy.
love your work!!
I absolutely love the work that you do keep it up!
It looks so freaking good! Awesome job! 🔥
Fantastic work!
All you had to do was follow the damn Halo graphics train, 343!
This is truely beautiful man. Doing the work an entire company could not. You are an inspiration
STUNNING WORK. the art style of halo 3/odst is in my opinion the best and most suitable for every halo, you should do a total conversion, in this style also for halo 4.
- "The good news is this covenant aren't outfitted like standard military"
- ... Tf you talking about cortana, they are exactly the same as the normal ones
@@user-fm4ux1gg1x Halo 4 has a graphic style that bothers the eyes, everything is more toy-like and uglier than Halo 3 odst or Halo Reach. I wonder how this was possible
N@@mauriziogiulio2980 (**game "ugly " because... i said so**)
- That's all you've got?

1000th Like here!!!!
This just looks too fucking amazing!!! 343i and Microsoft need to hire you.
Would love to see this added to Halo MCC!!!
Pure joy , aesthetically beautiful, thank you for making it full resolution for mobile phones. Perfect!
This is really insane! Thanks a lot for making this amazing dream come true.
I can't believe this is all done by 1 person!!
You are an absolute god send to the Halo community. Keep up the good work, you are outstanding! This brings me so much joy💚 thank you
As if SPV3 wasn't good enough this looks amazing the more content we get like this the more my great journey is complete!
This looks absolutely incredible! I wonder though, would it be possible for co-op players to play as ODST's assisting host? Just a cool idea I was thinking of, idk how feasible that would be, either way, very well done....looking forward to the rest of Halo 3: CE.......Then Halo 2 in Halo 3's engine!!! (Pls?) 😂😂😅
This is superb! 👍✨💙
This is great! Can't wait to play!
Holy crap, it’s what I’ve always wanted
Love it, keep it up!
THANK YOU!
Just phenomenal I can't find any other words to describe the perfection of this mod. I am very excited!
in a perfect world, 343 would hire you to continue doing this.
doing the lords work
Loved my run, really want to play other levels
Man, Imagine the time The Maw getting done. That be huge and really long to be made too, but I bet it pretty goddang awsome.
Friggin gorgeous!
This is beautiful
This is MAJESTIC and something that they already should've done 😮😮
💜💙💚
I would love to play this on the Xbox!
Blinded by its majesty, paralyzed, dumbstruck.
By the Gods it is beautiful.
AMAZING!
Mint Blitz sent me here, I'm excited! :D
This is perfection. Wish I had access to this as a console player😢
Amazing work as always 👍👍
Also curious about what monitor you are using? That ultrawide aspect looks sick 😎
LG 29WP500-B 29" UltraWide monitor
Great work! I just wish you would use updated CE marines models instead of Halo 3 marines.
Sad to see the CE shade go, a lovely piece returns to obscurity.
Beautifully done environments, the lighting and special fx look quite modern!
Also sad to see it go.
Alright this is absolutely sick
SO HYPE SO HYPE
Once you finish ce you should do halo 2
This is unbelievable...
I want this on console so bad! 😭
Me too. 343 truly sucks!!! They could atleast put a mod playlist into Xbox MCC so we can choose to download whatever mod is on the list and play whatever we downloaded on our consoles.. but no, 343 just sucks like that
AAAAGGGHHHHHHH
YYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS
😍😍😍
little kashiiera goes along way!
OMG is very beautiful
Ugh, Keyes for dinner AGAIN?!
Joking aside, DEFINITELY can see the progress you've made! I can certainly see why Keyes is your 'Silent Cartographer' for this mod, what with the Covenant and Flood, plus most of the weapons in the campaign being present. Only issue I can see from this glimpse is that the Elite AI still seems a bit lacking, any ideas/plans on what to do about that?
Nothing much, if anything it's probably the animations that makes them seem lacking since their AI is setup to behave very similarly to CE
@@Kashiiera Ah, that makes sense.
lets gooooo!!!
Amazing

omg go dl ! 🤩
This is awesome. Are Keyes and Truth and Rec both in this or just Keyes for now? I remember playing the Truth demo but I’m guessing you’re reworking it
Truth & Reconciliation is still up, just not in the pre-release since I'm reworking the geometry on that mission to match the one from Keyes since I made a bunch of changes to it
@@Kashiiera Cool. Looking forward to it, this is one of my most anticipated mods for any game
Nice.
I can never get over the fact that this is mod and not the actual CE Anniversary.. I'd much rather play things like this than whatever 343 release
Let's gooooo
I would kill to see your version of halo 4
Amazing work doing what 343 wont
Can we get a mod that just adds the CE Shotgun to Halo 3 campaign?
The real anniversary of CE that 343 needed to make, thats it everyone start a post and send 343 a petition to hire Kashiiera as a game designer for mcc and make CE REMASTERED! Done deal!
