Reflow is a fast-paced and comprehensively enhanced version of Halo 4, featuring cleaner visuals, improved combat, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.
For the best experience, it is highly recommended that you set Halo 4's Game Graphics Quality to Enhanced. This setting is in the MCC Settings menu, under Video. (Not UI Graphics Quality, it is further down the menu.)
The full set of Spartan Ops missions is available to play with Reflow!
Campaign is also available on Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953301754
You can also download Reflow from Google Drive:

Main features:
- H2A weapons
- Completely rebalanced and fine-tuned sandbox
- Cleaner and improved visuals
- More blood
- Clearer and colorful enemy ranks
- Improved AI behavior
- Improved vehicles
- Less auto-despawning of dead AI and weapons

- The Bandanna skull may break the target locator on the level Reclaimer.
- Terminals are bugged in modded MCC, so they have been replaced with weapon crates or removed.
- Spartan Ops mods do not yet work on Steam Workshop from my testing. If this changes, please let me know.
- On Reclaimer, if the Lich does not explode and/or if the map suddenly unloads halfway through, you are encountering a vanilla Halo 4 MCC bug: https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052516151
- If you would like more classic or alternate sound effects, I recommend using GruntyGunner's awesome Halo 4 Rescored mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/halothemasterchiefcollection/mods/1277
- If you would like to play with the original Halo 4 UNSC weapons, there is a version with them under Optional Files.
