SPV3 is the real Halo CE Anniversary

You’re welcome dude! I used to watch videos of SPV3 back when I didn’t have a computer and look at me now

Exact same as me bro, same year and everything. Tbh I liked spv3 but prefer the original now lol

Sorry but how do I play SPV3 again ?

@@alexisemmanuelfloresperez4231look that up in the youtube search bar

Bro, stop acting like you're old because of a 3 year gap, you have absolutely no idea what you're in for

The only one since Infinite, and even that one slightly makes sense

Polymorphic crystals like the mind stone

It made sense that it didn’t make sense in the original game if that makes sense 😅

​@@stormbreaker7373I understand.

​@@stormbreaker7373😄

You’re welcome dude! I’ve actually noticed there hasn’t been SPV3 videos in forever and I was just playing it again at the time and figured I’d just do a little something

The chad Soda

​@@SirSoda-tq7en You know what would be cool? for you to make a video showcasing the weapons from different mods such as Halo 2 457 campaign overhaul, Mythic Jaqui's mythic overhaul campaigns and so on..

@@WolfEpsilonbeen thinking of playing overhaul mods like those too, man I might have do some downloading

He's too busy being a little bitch 😂

The piercer was originally a little burst fire spike weapon, but was changed to the single shot to be similar to the Mangler of Infinite

Honestly. It should have just been a full auto.

@@MYNAMEISFROWNER agreed. Also, I hate how brutes and elites hold ALL their weapons with two hands. They truly felt menacing and powerful when holding their mainline weapons with one hand where humans and even spartans typically hold it with 2. Like elites with plasma rifles and needlers, or brutes with spikers and brute plasma rifles. And they held these enormous rifle like guns with one hand so effortlessly too.

The covanent didn’t do that because it was there sacred armory and frowned upon

Diverse my ass, half of these are just minor variations of the same few guns. Did we seriously need 6 different versions of each of the human weapons? Come on now

@@jackmcmorrow9397its a fan made bro, relax. You don't have to play the game if it doesn't float your boat.

@@jackmcmorrow9397 Needed no, but when they do have differences that aren't just visual, its really nice, and is infact variety (and therefor diverse) even if the model is reused with different paint. Not something I'll ever complain about.

Yeah that’s the biggest limitation with custom edition, since the weapon zoom is literally just the camera zoom and weapons with large view models tend to break the illusion

i adored the old sound

​@@BiomechanicalBrick I value my ears, thank you

@@eyeballpapercut4400 i also loved the old gravity grenade sound. That one was perfectly fine (in addition to being a balm to my ears)

@@BiomechanicalBrick That I can do.

Ma mir ca vad un roman in comentari.Eu ma joc foarte mult halo si daca vrei si ai halo inf sau mcc sa jucam sa imi dai discordul daca vrei

@@1mk1ller17Mersi mult de oferta, dar joc altceva acum, oricum Halo nu joc multiplayer, doar singleplayer

SPV3 Is waaay better than whole Infinite.

@@trooperodst6880 Amen to that shit

I mean it's a valid complaint depending on the context; if you have too many guns in a roster then you have a bloated armory. Even Valve acknowledged this. The Half Life 2 builds in 2001 had like 20+ guns, and at least 5 of them were low caliber high DPS submachine guns. In the case of SPV3, imo it's not fun to have weapons with defined roles in the combat sandbox get their spotlight taken away. It's why Halo 4 having the DMR, Battle Rifle, Covenant Carbine, and weirdo Promethean Light Rifle all in the same sandbox makes firefights feel like slop, especially in multiplayer. If you have so many similar weapon types rubbing elbows like that, it makes fights start to feel the same regardless of the weapon you're actually using.

I would somewhat agree, but in the case of Halo 4, the problems extend to the weapons having small magazines, rapidly depleting batteries (compare Halo 4 Plasma Pistol to Halo 3's and you'll understand), and the Promethean weapons feeling weightless and having no decent assault rifle/smg variant (Suppresor is lousy). Add to that the fact that you'll run into more Promethean enemies and they tend to be much stronger/more difficult to fight, few opportunities to reload human weapons, and no few to no Covenant weapons when fighting prometheans and sudden'y you're using the light-rifle for 80% of the game. In this game, many weapons are similar, yes, but they have more defined roles than in H4, and the oroginal game engine (H1) is still very solid for this kind of gameplay. There are 22 weapons in Halo 3 (counting turrets, but not grenades) and 25 if you include the Automag, the Silenced SMG, and the Brute Plasma Rife from MCC. I'd say they were smart to add those weapons in as, though they are variants, they add more to the sandbox (weaker dual-wieldable Magnum and Smg vs non dual-wieldable Automag and Silenced Smg) and the Brute Plasma Rifle is strongef, but at the cost of overheating faster.

@@katsenberg3036 No, redundancy in a sandbox is bad. Either it's just pointless bloat (the DMR is an awful cross between the Battle Rifle and the Sniper Rifle, when the Battle Rifle already has a semiauto mode anyways which treads on the Magnum, and so on and so forth) or it's detrimentally redundant shit, like the amped SMG just literally being the 60 round Assault Rifle but better. Just because it's an FPS game doesn't mean having 8 versions of the exact same gun isn't SHIT.

Sandbox redundancy hardly matters when you can only hold 2 guns at once.

@@jackmcmorrow9397 uh, no??? When your guns all feel the same and work the same that is actually bad, even if you can hold one or ten weapons at once.

I don't think it's that simple for a mod this big. Its a major overhaul and adds many other things and it even uses it's own launcher

Hey, former SPV3 dev here! There's a lot of reasons why an SPV3 port to MCC is quite difficult to almost "impossible" to achieve. The mod relies a lot on external scripting and graphical functions that aren't supported by default by the engine. G-Buffer effects, normal mapping on non-BSP objects, soft particles, VISR and SSR effects, and so on... all of that wouldn't be possible on MCC because what I said before was made possible by OpenSauce. Now you may say "well, there's already an SPV3 map ported for MCC, the "Silent Cartographer Evolved" one, and that's correct. But keep in mind that: 1. It was ported by the "Evolved" Team, former CMT/SPV3 people that left the project shortly after the initial 2015 release after having some arguments with Masterz. 2. In order to achieve this port, lots of extra functions and stuff (scripts and visual features) were cut from the original mod. The result is still quite impressive tho, but clearly it's been "decaffeinated". Could SPV3 be ported over MCC? Mayyybe? But I'm pretty sure no one in the team will give it a try, it's a tough task and would massively require people, time and knowledge to do it. It's simply not worth the risk, I'm afraid. The mod literally runs with duck tape on Custom Edition, MCC would give gigantic headaches. Cheers!

@@MrChromed thank you so much for this insight. The SPV3 mod was my gateway into pc gaming and mods in general. Thank you for the fun and for further showcasing the creativity of the modding community.

@@MrChromed Yeah, I've messed around with a lot of the SPV3 tags in MCC as Masterz sent them to me. The scripts would need to be completely rebuilt, along with the scenario files as numerous of them do not open with MCC. And yeah, all of those OpenSauce features would be completely gone, leaving something that looks super similar to TSC:E

Oh cool, thanks for your work! Do you know of a good guide for playing this on Steam Deck? I've seen handfuls of videos showing it.

Technically different guns but built on the sentinel beam model.

Magic pump action gl

Is it canon in the Halo Lore??

@@m1st3rang3l3 I mean probably. Reach has a normal GL, surely the UNSC has adapted it or made a new model to attach to an MA5

Idk like 7 or 8 years?

The first release was in June/July of 2016, I think. The last release was in Feb/March of 2021. I believe the mod was in development prior to 2016 however.

​@@TheChiefOrg13I remember that it was originally SPV 2 but that ended due to some development issues. That was around 2009ish if I remember correctly. So it's been in development for 15+ years now.

I feel you, I didn't have one for a while. I set some money aside for months until I finally got a somewhat decent one for 700$.

Simeone Is making for halo 2.

​@@m1st3rang3l3its already out but the mod is just only weapon imports, no altered campaign in anyway.

FOR REAL

For me at least I used custom edition to play it

i remember doing a thing that used MCC to do it. i don't think you need custom edition anymore

Yeah you can use mcc. Thats how i play it its kinda complicated to get set up the first time tho

Honestly, this mod did have that battlefield feel with all those massive map changes and addons

Not a fan? I've heard some people say they have mixed opinions about this game, or don't like it. I'll never understand that though. This is an excellent mod, with loads of extra content. It's kinda akin to Bungie's original size for Halo 1 where they wanted 10s of weapons and 40 campaign levels.

@@katsenberg3036 There's too much weapon bloat imo. One DMR, one Battle Rifle would've been fine, but instead we have five variations of each. There's some good in the sandbox but I just find it overfilled. Not really a fan of the soundtrack being replaced either. I love Jafet Meza's work but imo this isn't his best.

I respect that view. In fairness, a lot of the UNSC weapon variants are just like "BR w/ grenade launcher", it's not like CoD where you have tons of burst shot medium long range rifles.

@@VaporWaveGaming1990 unfortunately I don’t think so, the fov didn’t change the weapon’s position

@@VaporWaveGaming1990 scratch that I’m entirely wrong! If you change your fov it does bring the weapon closer, but at the cost of your fov

He kept it very similar to H:CE's original version. The shredder also sucks against covenant and really only succeeds against flood

Could just be cause I was just shooting at the sky and not at an enemy, I’m pretty sure they speed up when they’re tracking but I could be wrong and they just suck

@@Kandanza What are you saying? Shredder is good at killing most unshielded enemies and it's proyectiles are faster than that of the needler. Needless to say, it's such a shame that the needler sucks in this mod since it's very fun weapon to use in Halo 3 and other CE mods like The silent Cartographer: evolved and Ruby's rebalanced CE.

Not sure, kinda just played the game?

I am pretty sure on steam SPV3 is on the workshop

@@orionriftclan2727 Not on there, TSCE is though. TSCE is a completely separate mod, combining them would make both the SPV3 devs and the TSCE devs mad, as they've gotten that way too much. It will never get fully ported either, too much missing features

@@orionriftclan2727 unfortunately it isn't. Otherwise I'd have played it an unhealthy amount by now 😆

@@richardched6085 dang I looked and saw it wasn't, I was planning on playing it till the world ended

@@orionriftclan2727 I'm sure it'll eventually happen if enough people clamor for it.

Since the latest update, however its only a powerup

It's not??? How do you play this then?

Can't be ported over, too many assets would be broken and scripts would have to be re-done from the ground up as there are functions that don't exist in the MCC version. Not to mention numerous tags do not open with the MCC guerilla due to open sauce editing, so those would have to be rebuilt as well. None of the armor abilities would work and the graphical quality would be killed, that's the main reason

Its wayyyy to complicated for steam workshop. For some reason my comment on how to get the mod keeps getting deleted. Look up the official site and download the full package be sure to follow instructions carefully and it IS compatible with mcc

@@syndromeofadowns so then how do you play this??

@@Wuunderboy download it from the official site

I’m pretty sure the makers said no because of its assets and such 😭

@@AzureDragon2604 it’s a PC mod for Halo Custom Edition, just search up the Reddit they can explain the process way better If that doesn’t work there are tons more tutorials out on KZfaq

Off Reddit, just search SPV3 and you should find it, they have details on installing it as well

I guess? I kinda just downloaded it from the Reddit

This. Masters has the absolute worst attitude in modding. For some reason he thinks spv is perfect and requires no further updates even though weapons are laggy and unresponsive and level balance is out the window. Also theres a good chance he's reading these comments he tends to lurk in many videos about spv3

it's fun though?

​@@syndromeofadowns WHY. THE. H. IS THERE NOTHING MORE FOR FIREFIGHT

@@syndromeofadowns He's moving on from SPV3, it's not that he thinks its perfect. Idk where you got that from, but I've talked to him on discord and he's said nothing of the sort. Random Masterz hate like normal, he's moving on to H3 and Legacies and doesn't update SPV3 because the entire dev team is gone and have moved on to other things, like himself

Nope, all the code for multiplayer has been removed to make room for new content.

@@mhmtakeyatime9000 I had seen that there was a mod similar to spv3 but for mcc, and in that you can play cooperatively, I don't remember what it's called, can you help me?

@@juandavid8285 Hmm.. you might be referring to SOI's single player adventure. The creator of the mod did work on spv3 if I recall.

@@mhmtakeyatime9000 Thanks bro, I think I'll be able to play the closest thing to spv3 but with friends. I hope in the future they give multiplayer to spv3

@@juandavid8285 There's another mod called the Silent Cartographer Evolved which I believe has a multiplayer component. I also recommend other mods called CE Rebalanced, CE+ And An Upcoming mod by a KZfaqr named Altis94.
