Mercury Rising I + II

Description
A new 2 mission campaign featuring a lot of cut and custom made content.

About The Mod
Mercury Rising is a custom campaign using a variety of cut and custom assets all of which have been edited to some extent to work properly. The mod is fairly open and you can take different routes to reach your destination which will give you a different experience every time you play.
Co-op
The mod supports co-op up to 4 players over split-screen and 2 over online play. Use the alpha ring mod to play on split-screen. Each player has a slightly different character model and all players appear during cutscenes.
Equipment
There are 2 new grenade types:
  • Bubble Shield - Provides cover for 10 seconds
  • Health Regeneration - Restores health and shields for players and allies. Slightly repairs vehicles
Multiplayer
There are currently 2 multiplayer maps featured in the mod. If there is a demand I may add more.
Soundtrack
The mod features a unique soundtrack made by cheechas. He just released his debut EP, go and take a listen!

Skulls
Catch and Sputnik skulls are disabled because they break some things in this mod.
Stuck on loading screen
If you get stuck on loading screen you need to install Halo CE multiplayer.

Fantastic mod for CE, Mercury Rising 2 was so awesome in the plains part and having open world CE is a dream. I think my favorite part of the mod was the stealth tank and all the different environments that you managed to put in and making it feel like it was all contained within the same Halo ring.

Is it weird that this feels more like Halo than Infinite does? I certainly hope not. This mod has scratched an itch that I didn't know I had. Thanks again aLTis!

You got talent man. You seem to understand how to keep the "oldie halo feel" while implementing new things. Skybox and the surroundings are awesome. The new voice acting is the best i've heard in a mod so far and it never feels out of place. Would love to see those smooth textures ported into vanilla CE aswell. Only thing I missed is the classic AR otherwise i'm super impressed what you could do with the old engine. Please do more cool stuff.
