Heya Ruby, glad to see you around. I've been asking other Halo creators recently to try out your mod (like Frogarchist) but never any response (although Frogarchist threatened to ban me from commenting if I kept asking, pretty unfortunate tbh. Also, no I didn't spam it all the time, I limited it to only once every upload.) Edit: He finally played it but it doesn't seem like he had great impressions of it at the latter half. I think the main reason he didn't like the ending part of it is because he tried doing it all in one stream and wanted to rush the end instead of appreciating the scaled up battles.

Playing halo for 20+ years, this is the mod that cemented itself as THE way to experience halo. I'm glad it's getting more exposure and this is a great video showcasing a lot of what makes it special! Great breakdown. Spoilers for 2 Easter eggs...if you activate most of the terminals in 343 GS, you can enter one of the unused elevator rooms and regroup with Sgt. Johnson. He accompanies you through the remaining rooms and will regroup with the Marines at the end of the level. In two Betrayals, in the valley with the 2nd pulse generator, there is a switch in the Cliffside base opposite of the pulse generator, it activates a teleporter on the center structure that will lead back to the marines fighting the flood at the control room. If the battle goes in the marines favor they evac, and will later drop off a scorpion for you to make the final push to the 3rd generator.

Ruby doesn't miss, their past versions of Halo 2 Rebalanced was incredible. I never cared much for Halo 2's vanilla campaign gameplay experience, their solution was to un-nerf the weapons that Dual Wielding had turned into pea shooters, increasing the lethality of both you and the enemies. There were also a ton of changes to Sacred Icon + Quarantine Zone to make the battles much more interesting, including adding human enemies when you play as Arbiter.

@Juanloco998 Ай бұрын

This mod really is a must play for all that consider themselves big fans of CE. There's even more really cool stuff that wasn't shown. If any of you are thinking on playing it, always remember to pay attention and explore a lot, especially in places that were completely empty before. LIKE, do NOT miss the secret secondary mission in Two Betrayals. If Luc missed that one, he should go back and do it. It's SICK. You can sometimes save engineers from dying and they'll help you in certain ways. There's new dialogue for many NPCs that really adds to the world building and story telling (I'm guessing most of it is previously unused voice lines). You can headshot combat forms now if you shoot the infection forms in their chests. Some enemies like grunts now have flinching animations when you shoot them with less powerful projectiles. There is an upcoming campaign for this franchise to look forward to in the furture and it's Ruby's Halo 2 Rebalanced.

Hope you gave it a shot, particularly as it's on Steam Workshop. Yeah Ruby is one of those modders who has those rare qualities of taste & restraint, & actually seems to consider the broader context of things. Like they were constantly asking themselves that question the SPV3 team never did: "Sure, it's 'more', but is it actually adding something? Or is it taking away from the experience?" Ruby's mod really does feel like Halo CE: Developer's Cut. Everything you loved has been preserved and polished, here's some seasoning to shake up the dull parts, polished the rough parts, gave you something to find in the empty parts, and any additions made are just to help make what's already there more interesting.

@icyknightmare4592 Ай бұрын

Just an FYI: some of the hidden content and easter eggs in Ruby's Rebalanced CE are only available on Legendary. 28:14 When you enter that room, there's an engineer being attacked by combat forms. If you keep it alive, it will fly over and activate that panel for you. There are even more secrets on 343 GS than what you found. Two Betrayals has some amazing improvements, including a new side mission that it looks like you missed. Seriously, go play it again on Legendary and do some exploring, especially in the area near the second pulse generator. You'll be impressed. Lastly, if you want more like this, go give Combat Revolved a try. It's a very similar idea to Ruby's mod, but with some differences in execution. I'd say they're just about tied for best vanilla+ CE campaign mod.

Nothing made me feel more isolated and alone than being the only one in there with the flood, with no signs anyone had been there, no covenant vehicles or supplies or bodies to keep me safe or give me hope id encounter something other than flood like survivors. My main criticism for Ruby is to learn less is more, especially with horror. The story of Marty telling the devs after the 343 cutscene "dont immediately throw flood at them, let them take it in and realize they are in the same room" still rings true. Pauses, moments of quiet before the storm, real horror. Ruby turned the levels into a michael bay film.

Hey HiddenXperia, if you thought CE Rebalanced was cool, you should check out Ruby's development streams for his upcoming Halo 2 Rebalanced. Ill just say: Halo 2 Rebalanced is easily going to be triple the content than that of seen in CE: R. He came out with a cinematic trailer for H2R as well.

It’s honestly down to choose between Ruby’s or Combat Revolved. Revolved adds content, but also adds in encounters from the books and other media like Fireteam Raven and Zuka Zamamee. Ruby’s seems more like a fun experience overall. Tho i wish he added references from the books and fireteam raven into the mod.

@bubbajoe117 Ай бұрын

I think they're there and there's just not a whole lot of specific focus given to them, a lot of encounters have been tampered with or adjusted to play out more akin to how they do in the books, such as the Covenants final holdout in Two Betrayals, or Marvin Mobuto's corpse in Library, the ODST squad on two betrayals could be fireteam Raven and Zuka Zamamee is on the elevator in the Maw in his trademark patented Demon Slayer turret.

Since it was mentioned, I am once again begging that you post a playthrough of Turok Evolution for the channel. With zero cutting or editing, just raw footage of the full game, like stream vod style. That game seriously needs more eyes on it, not enough people know about it and that's a crime, I say!

Please keep covering Halo mods as well! Love the content and I think Halo mods are what keeps the game alive for a lot of people including myself. I've put thousands of hours into making MCC mods but hardly touched infinite's multiplayer because I just felt like it lacked the love and polish and fun social content that Bungie's games always had. Keep up the great work!

On that Fuel Rod note I know what you mean I can’t stress it enough how much I loved the Halo CE version of the Fuel Rod! The artillery style the battery ammo. It was just incredible! Favorite map to go use it online was blood gulch just to pour down rain on your enemy for so reason 💦

@Determ1nat1on Ай бұрын

Played Ruby's Rebalanced a couple months ago & it completely obliterated my expectations. There were some things i discovered in the latter half of the Campaign that genuinely blew me away. I found Johnson in 343 Guilty Spark, a valiant last stand by the UNSC when you return back to the Control Room (and i mean mid mission through teleporters that you most definitely missed) just to name a few. Hands down my definitive way of experiencing CE again

See this is just a testament to how deeply Ruby designed these levels - I legit had no idea about any of that and I *REALLY* searched the maps for easter eggs. So damn cool!

@connorking6852 Ай бұрын

Even though this is an amazing mod there’s one thing that I think it’s sorely missing, that being the real time infections. In spv3 they have them but they happen so fast it seems off, it’s like the infection form jumps on a marine and he’s running around for two seconds then instantly transforms into a combat form and starts shooting allies. If it took twice as long it would feel like halo3s imo, which were perfect.

Similar to re 4 remake, I would want to blend that and halo infinites open world and world building aspect with the original trilogys level design and story telling. A way to bridge the original games and play with the sandbox and adding more ways to play the game, like how infinite did/try to do. Love this!

34:50 I kind of liked in CE how the marines sort of vanished from the campaign after the Flood outbreak. It really lends credence to the notion that Chief and Cortana are the last ones standing, and the urgency to stop the Covenant, Monitor, and Flood feels that much more frantic and real. But this is cool also.

I like to use the term “grounded” when describing realism in games. It doesn’t give off the false idea that whatever it is is real or true to life, but feels real despite any fantastical elements. Grounded being based on reality, more akin to realism in art, but not realistic if that makes sense 🙃.
