Halo 3: Combat Evolved is a mod for Halo 3: ODST that re-creates the Halo: Combat Evolved Multiplayer and Campaign experiences within Halo 3: ODST.

IMPORTANT! Gamma settings
The maps in the mod were all designed for a gamma value of 5.5/6 as those are the values that closely match the visuals of the mod tools, if you feel like the levels look too dark then try switching your gamma to 5.5/6 in the video settings for Halo 3: ODST.

Information
The mod is HEAVILY work in progress, bugs, issues and missing content is to be expected. I am the only person working on this mod currently and remaking all levels from Combat Evolved, polishing them, ai placement, scripting and more takes a huge amount of my time so there is bound to be issues I overlook during development. If you found any bugs or have general feedback make sure to let me know!
Because this mod utilizes the Halo 3 ODST engine, you can play through Halo: Combat Evolved's campaign with up to 4 players in online Co-Op. A few select cutscenes have also been modified to account for the increased player count.
While I wanted the mod to stay as close as possible to Combat Evolved, I eventually made the decision to introduce cut content from Combat Evolved as well as a few custom (non intrusive) encounters to spice up the campaign and give it a fresh coat of paint.
Cut content such as encounters, scripts, items and set pieces have been re-added.

How to Play
  • Extract the .zip and move the "Halo 3 Combat Evolved" folder to a dedicated MCC mods folder
  • Open Windows Explorer and go to the following directory:
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Config
  • Inside of that folder, create a txt file called "ModManifest.txt"
  • In ModManifest.txt, add your dedicated MCC mods folder's full path and save
  • Halo 3: Combat Evolved should now show up in the MCC menu under Halo 3: ODST's Campaign, Multiplayer and Firefight when running without anti-cheat on!
