About this mod

Enhances the look of Halo 3, gives it some contrast, balances out the brightness, and gives it some extra lighting/colour punch where needed. Reshade 4.7.0 or later required.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
With this Reshade I've tried to bring Halo 3 into the modern era, best I could. Not much else to say that the screenshots already don't. Works in all areas of the game, including multiplayer (just without the MXAO and other depth effects). It does make a few areas overly dark or bright but its generally pretty great. I'd highly recommend using MartyMcFly DOF for screenshots as well, they can look pretty nice.

It will take a decent amount of FPS as well with all settings on. Based on the beginning of Sierra 117, about 124 FPS with all effects on. 170 with SMAA and MXAO off. 220 with no Reshade. 

Just make sure to use Reshade 4.7.0 or later and make sure your monitor(s) are calibrated with the built in Windows calibration and that your gamma is set around 5.5 as those are my settings. Feel free to tweak whatever settings you feel you need to, whether in the Reshade or your monitor or gamma in-game to get the look and performance you desire.

Also huge credit to ultracasio who designed the RTX Reach Reshade which my Reshade is derived from, just tweaked to hell to suit Halo 3.
