Halo CE Extended (A10, A30 Demo)

*THIS MOD REQUIRES HALO CE MULTIPLAYER TO BE INSTALLED*

Principally, this mod implements old BSP's that were seen in SPV2. Some of these BSP's would go on to feature in Halo SPV3, but many more were lost to time. As such, levels are drastically lengthened. With the exception of Truth and Reconciliation, 343 Guilty Spark, and The Library, most levels doubled or tripled in length (looking at you, Halo).

*THIS MOD WAS MADE BY A PERSON WHO LIKES TWO BETRAYALS, FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE TWO BETRAYALS*

As such, many of these levels have been split into two, and in this demo release you will be able to play The Pillar of Autumn and the two halves of A30 (Halo), at one point Halo was all one level, but it's not fun having to play through a mission that's over an hour long.

Additionally, with these lengthened missions there's more opportunity to include prerelease content or even content from other older halo mods as well. This mod takes a variety of assets from various community projects/teams, such as CMT, VKMT, Ruby's Rebalanced.. and so on. There is a wide variety of weapons, many of them having overlap with one another. To avoid too much sandbox bloat- you will find that many weapons don't appear alongside one another- or show up alone in certain sections (such as the Chaingun and the GPMG, or the M7 Caseless and the MP99). In later missions, the focus rifle (retooled gravity rifle) can replace the beam rifle, and the particle carbine (old particle beam rifle) will replace the Covenant carbine.

I hope this philosophy makes sense, and gives each level their own little sense of style and sandbox.


What you play is an incredibly WIP build, I have been working on this project for maybe three years, on and off in my free time. I am currently in university and very busy, but I think it would be nice to have something to play of the more complete or interesting levels.

Engine limitations:
- It's impossible to have weapons transfer across level transitions, as well as any stored data.
- I cannot physically reconnect A30 and A30 II anymore, they were playable one after another, but this required me to have far less advanced scripting, AI squads, and scenery.

Some known issues:
- The Pillar of Autumn opening cutscene flat out crashes when it tries to transition to the hanger scenes. This is because the map is entirely filled up with new BSP's that took up the hangar's space.
- I ran into some crashing at the 'Lock and Key' section on A30, as well as the crashing at the A30 II defense section.
- During the A30 II defense section, if you enter the tunnel, enemies can be seen spawning in front of your eyes. I tried scripting this to not do that, but it still happens anyways. I need to record some more animations of dropships to help rectify this.
- The shield + health hud is anniversary, not the original hud. I still need to mess around with this, I hate the anniversary hud. lol.

Some stuff I'd like feedback on:
- Should The Pillar of Autumn be split into two levels? *highly important*
- Sandbox elements earlier on? (ie: shotgun on first levels?)
- Are the half-life scientist lines too immersion breaking? I really like them, I think they're really funny when crewmen get exploded. (Also applies to Flood ODST's, which aren't in this build, but have a mix of flood lines and HECU Zombie ones)

- Elephant (Marine sniper tags)
- TSCE team (some audio files, one 'doodad' device machine, extended animations for marines, elites, jackals)

And finally:

- Me: Compiling, scripting, porting some dialogue from Halo Infinite/Half life, balancing. (and taking far too long to upload ??????? anything to the workshop or my youtube)



The future:
- If there's demand for another level, I may add The Silent Cartographer (B30) or Two Betrayals + Final Run (C40 I & II). I am a bit of a perfectionist and it's going to be hard watching videos of some of the messier parts of this mod, lol.

- Currently I am starting work up on Keyes, but I want to do a pretty complex scripting thing, so we'll see if it's possible at all. After Keyes, I will work on None Left Behind & (a sister level that I haven't named yet) which are both retreads of A30 and A30 II, but with flood and a return to Alpha Base.

- Potentially entirely new levels if I actually get good at modelling, I have some ideas already.
