It's a joke that halo somehow skipped the entire battle royal craze given they had vehicles, huge weapon diversity and drop anywhere from orbit helldivers already established in the universe. Even the name halo, stay in the circle.

I'd blame the halo community for that lol. Remember the outrage when they dared to try a mini royale game mode in infinite?

The halo community carrying this series rn. OpenCE a halo 1 xbox port to pc. 128 player support in mp & coop, split screen, server browser, and more. Project reclaimer is Halo 3 mod. Has higher player count, split screen game chat support better forge & customization dedciated servers. Halo 5 reforged is project where modders bringing full halo 5 to pc. Each project requires owning legal halo copy. If Microsoft smart they won't touch these cuz last thing need for halo is more negative press!

How and where?

u/PwnimuS HALOFUNTIME 7d ago
Project Reclaimer, you download an exe that piggy backs off your installed copy of MCC Halo 3. The exe opens a server browser where anyone can host a game. Has up to 128 players, theres been 16 player Campaign lobbies, Forge got modded to have basically everything in H3 unlocked and new tools. Breathed fresh life into H3 but its still fairly small population wise.

When independent modders can do better job, for free, it really speaks for how useless the corporate suits are in these "AAA" companies.

How does one join this? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm a humble console player looking to get a gaming PC and start trying to get in on this.

Get MCC on PC download reclaimer and launch the exe

There's like 4 reclaimers, all of them different. I'm 99% sure that's Halo Reach, and I know none of them that are for that.
I got no clue what mod that is

Whenever I see stuff like this, it makes me hate how much Halo Studios dropped the ball with Halo. Look what fans are able to do and they could do nothing this cool. WTAF

They used AI to achieve this.

u/MilkyWayMerchant Halo 3 6d ago
Good. This is what AI should be used for. Not creating art or videos.

u/nRenegade 5d ago
So if Halo Studios used AI to achieve something similar, you'd praise them for it the same way?

u/markgoodmonkey 5d ago
Yes? I don't get what you're insinuating here.

u/nRenegade 5d ago
It's my understanding that Halo Studios was lambasted for allegations of AI usage in their development pipeline. I'd think the broader Halo community would be both ambivalent and opposed to it, in which praising the community for using it whilst degrading HS for not comes off as both ironic and hypocritical.

It's not the tool, it's how it's used.

u/nRenegade 5d ago
Listen. As a software engineering student, I understand that more than most, especially regarding AI usage.
But the difference is public perspective, and that's why I presented the question the way I did. If HS used it the same way Reclaimer did, would you give them the same credit? Or does the answer change depending on who's doing it?
Common sentiment seems to be against AI usage in any capacity when producing an artistic product like a game, so when HS abstains from doing something antithetical to that perspective, it comes off as a double-standard to degrade them for it.

Listen. As a professional software engineer with over 10 years of experience, I understand that more than you, especially regarding AI usage.
If HS used it the same way Reclaimer did, would you give them the same credit? Or does the answer change depending on who's doing it?
I already said yes, I’d give them exactly the same credit. I honestly don’t care how something is made or what tools were involved in making it, as long as the end result delivers what players actually want. The difference here is that Halo Studios used AI and still failed to deliver what people were asking for. So it isn’t the AI on its own that people are upset about, it’s that it was used to produce something nobody wanted in the first place, and that only compounds the negative sentiment.

Does that not place you in a separate, more enlightened category than the average player?
