3 steps forward 43 steps backwards.

With Eldewrito, the original trilogy is finally fully playable in its best community driven form. Halo Custom Edition for CE Project Cartographer for Halo 2 Vista And Eldewrito For Halo3/ODST/Reach

I never thought I would ever see Elderwrito make a grand return. Funny to think it was this mod that convinced 343 to port MCC to PC, and I have no doubt Microsoft will come for it again. I'm definitely installing this and I really hope this gets some attention and more people start playing it. Lets make this become halo's version of Gmod.

Listening to you crap on 343 is so reaffirming and therapeutic. Thanks

Wait, you can custom individual colors for your armor pieces? I thought we lost that technology

this is what mcc would look like if infinite never came out

Meanwhile 343: SpArTaN pOiNtS

FINALLY!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE IT IS TO HEAR HALO KZfaqRS FINALLY EXPRESS THE TRUE FEELINGS OF THIS FANBASE!!! This mod looks so amazing!

Windows 11 considers Halo Online to be a virus threat. Nice try Microsoft, you're not fooling me, the amount of times it deleted the launcher without my permission pissed me off, but I got it working now.

You sold me at being able to customize my armor to anything I want

Seeing any halo content made by 343 is like watching your dog die over an over again.

I’ve been dying for a modern Custom Edition for some time. Fuck me, Halo is back

#Fire343 This is proof they have NO excuse for the buggy games they have now.

S tier KZfaq recommend. Never would have found this otherwise. Found this just now, downloading. Ty for uploading bro I’ve always wanted modded server browser support and here it is! Fucking massive

At this point I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't just give Halo to another studio. 343i is so incompetent that even a corporation as big as Microsoft just ordered the end of support for MCC, like how worthless you have to be to screw up a collection of games that already existed bug free!!! They're a money hole, half a billion gone with Infinite and I wouldn't be surprised if they wasted $50 million dollars on this garbage collection so that's why Microsoft is ordering end of life to it, I literally can't find any logical reason besides this. Modders would do way better and cheaper (probably even for free) with MCC than 343i has ever done in more than 9 years

343 is part of the problem to be sure, and they deserve most if not all of the criticism they get, but anger also needs be directed some if not moreso at the puppet master Microsoft. There's two ways they can do something: Crack down hard, make 343 stop hiring and firing people quicker then we change underpants, or back way off and let 343 function as a game dev studio. That's my take anyway.

At least we know where all of the passion for halo went.

This is why open source projects are much better than closed source/official ones. Too bad Epic Games never handed over Unreal’s source code to the players so they could handle it instead of delisting those games from every storefront. A slight correction on Halo 5. It’s actually more comparable to Titanfall because that game popularized advanced mobility. Around the same time the CoD community (personally prefer that one purely because my boy Wingo got his start there. There’s this AMAZING video where my boy Da Gunt Ethan Ralph went onto the Lolcow Podcast and absolutely bodied Wings and Boogie. Those two got in a few good shots, but it was like watching Omni Man vs bootleg Justice League in the first episode of Invincible) was complaining about how the jet backs and wall running in Advanced Warfare messed up the core gameplay. Both groups weren’t fans of what happened to the core gameplay. With CoD it gets a little bit more leeway because there’s several side series’s that exist alongside each other. The Spartan Abilities in 5 would’ve been fine if it was a spinoff not a mainline entry, and if they properly designed the whole game around it. I should get around to playing this. I’ve heard that people are able to do campaign mods in it. That will be cool to see. Let’s hope that since Microsoft have other cash cows from the Activision Blizzard deal they’ll ignore this.

Being able to play as all halo characters, this is so fking sick this has everything

Bro I've never been more social than now with eldewrito

seeing this brought a tear to my eye. halos community is the only thing that keeps this franchise alive.

Eldewrito has been resurrected??

I played the El Dewrito mod a shit ton before it was shut down and MCC was announced for PC. Definitely an amazingly project and im so glad to see its back. Ill definitely be redownloading

Hearing what you had to say about 343 and Microsoft was cathartic and refreshing.

Fingers crossed this doesnt get taken down but i wouldnt be shocked if it does

I think the reason why I'm as anti-Halo now in general as I am is just cause the community are just a bunch of lemmings. Can I really bring myself to associate with that Halo crowd over there? Probably not no, and the thing I find to be the icing on the cake is that you can tell Halofollower and even someone as wrapped up in 343 as Installation 00 don't even want to cover it anymore. They're burnt out. They backed the wrong horse they did. Not even they want to have a bar of Halo anymore.

More people need to talk about this, God it feels so good to have a definitive thing to point at and say look, THIS is what we wanted

Everybody needs to see this. Even if it gets shut down or the playerbase is minimal, I think this still sends a clear messege!

(343 exec) uh huh But where the competitive side that halo is known for Where's the spartan story Where's the microtransactions

This video totally had me at the clip of playable Miranda Keyes. Now if my antivirus software would stop blocking the installation I’d totally be right in there in this game.

I needed to see this, it made my day

Shoutout to the guy in the killfeed at 0:59 with the great name

thanks for making this video man, but you should have mentioned in the video that there is no virus for this game, people will think this game will give you a virus on your pc because it detects a virus so they won't download it. Good video overall, so happy we have a modded server browser looking forward to playing on multiplayer mods like hugegrass:D

This was cathartic, thank you.

This is what Halo Infinite should have been. A Halo game with infinite possibilities.

Wow. Yeah no character fiesta is next level fun a concept :0

I played this the other day, and I had so much more fun than I've ever had with MCC

When a free game made by modders is better than anything made by 343

343 is F#$%ing TRASH. I love how you described them. They ran me off even and I read the OG books damnit. That's how much I loved Halo. Man I gotta check this out.

"Your services are no longer required" said every og halo fan

I never expected it to come back!!

Funny how the only good halo game in 13 years is made by a rts studio who isn’t even fucking in charge of halo🤡🤡🤡. It was their game that introduced an actual interesting faction, and 343 is going to abuse them like the enclave in fallout.

I need to play this NOW!!!

This is amazing. Completely free too? I can't wait to give this a try🎉

omg i was the one you killed in oddball at 0:54 XD i was so mad at myself for falling for that. good show!

This really shows that 343i had all the cards to both honor Halo's legacy AND expand it since Halo 4. There are no excuses. I really hope Microsoft doesn't retaliate again :(

we're so back

Fuck it, Im downloading it. Thanks for the link!

This is the first ive heard of this! Where the heck have i been?

when they first C&D'd eldewrito i fucking KNEW that mcc would never be at the same level for customization/moddability/fun, thank fucking GOD it came back.

Thanks for showing me this. I've started playing. Man this is incredible! Halo Infinite would've been so much better if it was like this

The community makes better halo than actual devs.

downloading now~! Playable Elites Man!!!!!!!!!

I need this

I cant wait to play this on pc when i get one

Now I have a reason to quite mcc. Thanks

Eldewrito...Needs me? I'm Eldewrito's Top Guy? Alright Eldewrito. I'll go to bat for you.

Situations like this are why I think abandonware should be public domain. I always thought it was bs that the project was shut down all those years back because the original game never released.

As an og halo player and hearing you speaking up really is damn great. You earned a sub my g. keep up the good work.

yeah i tried halo MCC its got serious memory leaks, feels very incomplete still

Eldewrito, Custom Edition with Open Sauce and Halo 2 Project Cartographer all shit on MCC. Eldewrito even has a better HUD than Halo 3 and forge.

Eldewrito look badass

I had lost hope when I heard this modded version had been forced to shut down. I need all the hope I can get these days.

You know itz da bes

"shame " is not strong enough of a word.

New engine,new studio,new halo. At this point any other studio can make it any other type of halo game I don’t care I would kill for a halo battlefield style game. This mod is actually beautiful

So true

Yes! we need more players and creators on Eldewrito!

Its time FOR HALO AGAIN!

Well, I know what I'm downloading tomorrow 😃

Ayee I'm in the video 'AlexJonesEnjoyr'

This looks good

Shoutouts to whoever made this! Lmao 343 got freed up by dedicated modders!

can you change the crosshair so it isnt at the bottom of the screen?

IS THAT RATCHET AND CLANK?!?!????

Love good old halo

Facts

The only part of Halo Infinite I enjoy anymore is Squad Battle, but I am on ED now

Proof that no matter how hard Microsoft or 343 tries otherwise Halo will never die.

I never had so much fun in a while, and addicted to the point of staying up all night playing this. Halo Online is awesome

ElDewrito is perfection.

To be honest putting 343 to shame isn’t too hard these days

That's great man ;w; 👍 *cries in Console streamer*

I did like this game but there was something off about how the sniping worked on kbm that was probably never fixed (e.g. like the fov being tied-in with the sensitivity somehow.) I showed evidence and got shrugged off. also, some server owner banned me because I was running through people in swat and said that I had "typical cheater behavior" by not responding in chat.

I kinda loved Infinite's campaign, but I do miss the old times. Thanks bud imma be downloading this mod.

This is why I've been saying you can't really enjoy Halo on console anymore. I wish we had an ounce of this same passion and energy that some of these indie Dev teams have in 343 and Microsoft.

Awesome.

After hearing everything that the people making this mod were able to achieve, it is absolutely unacceptable for any excuse excuse 343 has.

An 343 is supposedly already working on halo 7?? They really abandoned ship on infinite so quickly. I've been playing alot of halo mods lately an I'm so happy the halo community keeps Halo alive.

movie maker in 2024? Classic

The Prophets have betrayed us.

Holy shit this mod is live again!? I played the hell outta it before Microsoft took it down last time

If I recall, the real reason it was shutdown was not because of the project itself. Microsoft said that it could continue if they stopped using assets created and owned by Microsoft. So basically, the team said they were shutting down while they rebuilt most of the assets from scratch, and that, as soon as they finished, they would re-release eldewrito. So I think this is their re-release! Hopefully no more drama will ensue

6:20 look gary there i am

[Full on rant that I ought to script into my own damn video] 4:13 It's because people no longer focus on the 'purpose' things serve, so much as they do their ability to signal the concept of 'having something'. That desire has become so pervasive that the terms as to what constitutes 'having', no longer matter when weighted against the functional value of 'having,' itself. This 'simulated having', is the mechanism by which tons of modern games have been polluted. ... I feel weird trying to convey the heaviness of what I'm talking about because I've thought about this a lot.. But the point.. of this.. _IS_ the having. Like how many people, if you asked them, would tell you they want to _be,_ able to express themselves around someone, vs. wanting to *'have',* a partner, for example. You have to _want.._ to *be..* and to *do.* Because you can _always_ be, and always do.. but you can't always have. If your want, *is* to have, 9 times out of 10 you're going to lose. _And,_ by extension, any having you do engage with, ought to _facilitate_ doing, because it's the _ability to do,_ that facilitates worth. In other words, if having something, doesn't allow you _do_ *anything* (besides signaling to other people that you're 'in a state of having'), then functionally it's worthless. However the functional worthlessness is.. the point.. Or it has become the point, rather. It's like why are so many people raging over the exchange being added to Infinite? Does other people 'having' get in the way of their 'having'? No. Not functionally. It's a #$%^ing _video game._ But again, the lack of functionality is the point. "Oh cool, people will be able to express themselves with these previously lost armor pieces", vs. "NO! People will be able to _HAVE_ them. I bought a NERF gun to _HAVE_ this skin. Why should *they* get to _HAVE_ it?" Like stfu. It's not about 'who has what' it's about how people are able to be and what they're able to do while actively expressing themselves. The more accessible being, and doing are, the better _for everyone_ things become. But ~no~ they need to preserve and *conserve* the 'sanctity' of their "Idea Of The Have", when their ideas, and their having, serves no functional purpose besides upholding the very system it facilitates while making things *needlessly,* _functionally worse_ for *EVERYONE ELSE.* YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?!? YOU SEE WHAT I _DID THERE?!?!?_ ⡰⠉⠙⠦⡀⡀⡀⡀ ⡀ ⠙⢄⣀⣀⣀⡀ ⡜ ⣠⣤⣤⣄ ⡞⠘⡀⡀ ⠎ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡀⣦ ⢈⡦⠤⣀ ⠎ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿ ⢀⠊ ⡾ ⢁⡔⣡⠤⠈⡀ ⡜ ⠙⠻⠿⠋ ⣠⠁ ⢠⠋⣆ ⡯⢤⡀ ⡇ ⣀⣀ ⡀⠃ ⡴⣠⢠ ⢀⠰⠃⡀ ⡀ ⣿⣿ ⢸ ⣸⡀⠃⡏ ⣀⠎⠃ ⡀ ⡜ ⠉⠉ ⡠⠁⡄⡇⢰⢀⠴⠹⣞ ⠰⡿ ⢀⡜ ⠎ ⠞ ⡄⠁⠸⠘⠙⠙⠁⡠⠋ ⡿ ⡼ ⣠⣶⣄ ⡏ ⡠⠊⡀⡀⠛⣖⠭⢦⢂⡤⠋ ⡀⡀ ⠁ ⢰⣿⣿⣿⡆ ⢠ ⡠⠋⣠⣴⡖⠦⡈⢄⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⡆ ⣸ ⡜ ⢧ ⠈⣿⣿⣿⠁⢀⠋⢀⠊⣠⣿⣿⣿⠁⢸⠈ ⠈⠓⠤⣄⣀⣀⣠⠔ ⠇⢠ ⡆ ⠉ ⣠⠁⣠⢁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣽ ⣾⢸ ⡜ ⢸ ⠘⡀ ⢠ ⡴⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢲⣃⣸ ⢸ ⠸ ⢧ ⡏⡼⢀⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⡿ ⢀⣀⡀⣴⡋⠙⣄⠴⠲⡒⠉⠙⠦⡀ ⣸ ⡄⠴⠉⡥⠋ ⣠⣰⡀⠃⢆⢎⢄⣧⢻ ⡔⠡⠊ ⠠⡀⢸⠉⡀⣧⠤⣄⡀⢳ ⢀⠁ ⠈⠁⢇⠹⡀⡜⢀⠁⡞⠍⣉⣦⡑⠪⢸ ⡀ ⡇ ⢹⢀⢃⣀⡀⡀⡜ ⡞ ⠈⣆⠱⢠⡀⡀⠁⣾⣟⣻⣏⣀⡀ ⡀ ⠳ ⡸⡜⡀⡀⡀⡀⡀ ⠃ ⣿⣷ ⣆⠙⣰⡀⠋ ⢹ ⣧ ⢸ ⡇⡀ ⡇ ⡼ ⢰⢠ ⢿⡿ ⢀⡀⢧⠈⣄⣀⠤⡀⣀⡀⢀⣴⠁ ⡤⠋⣀⢤ ⢀⣨⢎⡀⠈⠁⢀⠞ ⠇⡏ ⠏ ⡀⠱⡀⠳⡚⡭⠴⠊⠓⣄⡵⠚⠁⡤⠋ ⠉⠉ ⢠⠃⣠⠋ ⠦⣳⡀⡏ ⠎ ⡞⡏ ⠈⠢⣀⠓⠶⠖⠉⢀⡤⢞⠈⠢⣀ ⡴⠁⠴ ⢸⣀⡀⠑⠚⣄⡀⡁⢰ ⠸⠵ ⠇⡇⠉⠓⠚⠉ ⠈⠒⢤⡈⠙⠒⠒⠁⡴⠁ ⡯⢗⣛⠶⣄⡀ ⢱⠳⡀ ⣠⠂⢀⡀⢠ ⠉⠙⠛⠁ ⠸⣝⣚⠿⣿⣷⣺⡟⠷⢤⣀⠢⢵⣘⣲⢳⠁ ⠙⠺⣓⣮⣭⣼⠾⣷⢂⡤⢹⢒⡒⡞ ⠻⡻⣫⠖⣏⠤⠤⣘⡋⢈⡣⢅ ⠉⠛⠙⡀⢦ ⢦⣚⣈⢥ ⢀⡬⢄⠇ ⢀⠵⣹ ⣾⣗⣉⡬⣊⣤⣤⡀ ⣞⢿⣬⣯⣶⠛⣷ ⠘⠾⣭⠿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠏ ⠉⠛⠉⠛⠿⠿⠛ But anyway yeah.

I want to see this mod combined with MCC then I think we would have Pete Halo and also read all the stuff that 343 got rid of like four players split screen

Does the mod work on steam deck

microsoft: uuerrehmm you have to play OUR Shitty optimised barebones re-release because... you just do... OKAY Elderwrito: STFU

What I've noticed over the years with 343 titles is how much they keep taking away customization and selling it back. Some emblems and armor were not brought back in Halo 4 and then included in the DLCs and emblems brought back in MCC almost a decade later. Then, in Halo 5, they took away customizing your emblems (design and color) that eventually, when people left, they added it back, and almost 99% of the armor was in lootboxes. Then, in Halo 5, the same thing where everything is locked behind a paywall, but now with colors. Even less willing to budge and more greedy monetization for armors (some armor pieces designed with Nostalgia baiting are locked behind paywalls and $20 to $30 bundles and some are just giant FU armor sets where you cant even customize it... then why the fuck would I even want it?), emblem customization laughable (cant change design and 4 standard colors), coating were locked to cores (not only to sell the color blue which has always been a big fat no but to sell the color blue individually to each item and to sell similar ones later th@t look better... wtf?!), and drip feeding these customization fixes, and the store got more fixes. .. and now the next title is announced in a job posting to be another live service f2p game. I'm already betting emblem customization, armor unlocks, armor colors and more are going to be even more egregious onto of other psychology factors to manipulate further taking away and selling back... aka solution selling. Create the problem, then sell it back. I remember when people had no hype for Halo 6 they literally had to bring the games to pc and add reach to have something to milk because no one was looking forward to the next title. So they used MCC as that small hope for change... and then left it with unfinished seasons and no mod support in CGB. And then they wonder why no one cares anymore. Halo Infinite truly was to a lot of fans their last chance. Idgaf if they replaced the head leader, I don't care if it's on unreal, nothing is going to change with 343 so I have no excitement for Halo 7 or whatever the fuck it is going to be.

id love to play this but theres genuinely no servers anywhere remotely near aus
