Halo 4 Genesong Cut

Description
Halo 4 Genesong Cut is a mod that aims to improve the original campaign using exclusively what is shipped with the game without relying on assets from the previous games, as a sort of director's cut. If you were looking for a classic or Bungie styled campaign, sadly this mod is not for you.

REQUIREMENTS:

The mod has been made using only the tags shipped with the tools. You don't need to download additional files, but be sure to disable campaign customizations before playing the mod, or some assets will become invisible

CHANGES AND FEATURES:

Global:
  • Increased texture resolution and improved shaders where possible
  • Added a proper transition from the old to the new Mjolnir armor
  • Simplified and modernized HUD
  • Sounds have been swapped and mixed to create a more pleasant experience
  • Reimplemented cut lines and removed some confusing ones

Weapons:
  • DMR has been entirely removed. On the other hand, two new weapons have been added: the Plasma Launcher and the Bishop Beam
  • Promethean weapons have been overhauled to be in line with Halo 5, and they now use the Halo Infinite ammo system
  • Increased reserve ammo and reduced battery consumption for certain weapons
  • Increased grenade explosion radius

AIs:
  • Characters are in general more responsive and act like in Combat Evolved
  • Covenant now have more distinct ranks with better armor and fixed anatomy
  • Prometheans have been completely revamped to fix their annoying behavior while still being interesting to fight
  • Promethean Soldiers and Major Watchers have been implemented

Vehicles:
  • The cut Revenant has been restored
  • All vehicles now have health bars
  • Mantis now has a Hannibal Gauss turret instead of a standard Machine gun

And many, many more...

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Due to how Halo 4 handles its sounds, some audio files can become suddenly lower
  • The modified Didact model broke the motion capture. That's because the current tools don't support face maps. I will fix this once the tools will be updated
  • Forerunner turrets in the Pelican section in Shutdown can occasionally freeze
  • Since the Elite animation tags make the tools crash, I couldn't give them proper animations for the Revenant, and I've been forced to recycle existing seats. Because of that, their animations don't match the actual model. This applies to Spartans and marines as well

Thank you for reading all of this, I hope you'll enjoy this mod as much as I've enjoyed working on it!

If i'm being honest I don't like using the same gun all the time I enjoy switching weapons and experimenting with different things and the scarcity of ammo doesn't really bother me much if I get to use a unique sandbox

Good mod, but desperately needs more ammo caches on almost every mission.

Two things I will say, I don't think the Didact model change is needed since it so minor and just makes the cutscenes look worse

And also I feel you should adjust the ammo Economy for the game, higher reserve ammo counts for certain weapons like the needler and just more weapons and ammo caches scattered around in general cause Halo 4's ammo economy is garbage and you are constantly swapping weapons way more than previous games and this problem is amplified due to the more reactive AI in this mod.

great mod, but I recommend increasing the ammo reserve for all weapons by a lot and have ammo crates, the problem with halo 4 is you barley use any UNSC weapons due to having no ammo

I am not sure if I commented this before but this is one of my favorite halo games and I love all the details big and small that you added :)

@kryterianx64 that is a vanilla MCC bug related to the Bandanna Skull being active.

This mod is commendable and adds numerous much-needed changes to Halo 4. I haven't finished a full playthrough yet, but my chief complaint is the relative lack of Promethean Soldiers. An enemy type akin to them was desperately needed to make Halo 4's gameplay loop less boring. When I first booted up the game, I chose to play Infinity since I haven't played that mission in base Halo 4 in a while. The Promethean Soldiers here were well-used and I was excited to see more of them. Now having played Shutdown, Reclaimer, and part of Forerunner, I'm sad to see they appear infrequently. I hope you add more of them into pre-existing encounters and create a few unique encounters with them as well.

mod is very cool but i got to the reclaimer mission and the target locator is broken lmao so basically the level is soft locked i don't know if its because the new updates but hopefully this gets fixed (2/15/2025)
