Halo PC: The Way it Was Meant to be Played Revision(FINSHED)

[Halo 2 Rules!!]

I am unsure as to how many people actually remember this modification, but for those that do, congrats; you have great memory. Anyways, for those that do remember the mod, currently in the outstanding modifications section, this mod was a project to redo most of the textures in the retail version of Halo PC, and make them "better", for lack of a better word. Well, I ran through the old version a couple days ago, and I was shocked at how absolutely lousy everything looked. So now, I am working to revise almost every texture once again, with much higher detail textures than the previous version showed. I only have one screenshot for you now, but hopefully it should give you an idea of what is to come. I will post many more pictures as areas are revised, along with before/after pictures as more is completed.

Comments and crits are welcome.



NOTE: This modification is only for Halo PC, not for CE or the trial version. I may or may not attempt to do this for those versions, but it is my decision, and please do not bug me with several posts saying "Can you please do this for trial/CE"

Looks good, but I suggest that for the future you do some side-by-side comparisons between your mod and the stock settings for those of us who haven't played Halo PC in a while. Just something to consider. Having seen the detail you put into your renders, I'm sure this will turn out to be fantastic.

This kind of reminds me of Explosive American's shader fix, except with Hi-res skins. Which is awesome as hell.

The blue shield Jackals return, along with a very detailed Blood Gulch, both complete with a shiny new Assault Rifle.

[CabooseJr]

new blood gulch looks awesome.

[fishface617]

<3 Halo 2 Rules!!

I remember your original mod...it was amazing.

[xbox]

yeah I remember you making this and posting updates and asking for help on the old halopc.com forum.

I can't remember exactly but I think decoy banned you for some reason that had to do with the mod

[SHOUTrvb]

I remember this quite well. It's very lovely.

[Halo 2 Rules!!]

Alright, things are progressing smoothly.
By estimation, I'm going to say roughly 80-85% is completed, and the majority of the rest is just touchups. You guys will likely have the mod either tomorrow or Friday.

[Halo 2 Rules!!]

The mod is about 98% finished. I believe there are around...maybe 6 textures left to do.
I will admit one thing to all of you, and that is the fact that not every texture used in this mod is mine. Several (probably...8-9) belong to EPIC Studios, and were used in Unreal Tournament 2004. Credit for those textures goes to them, and them alone, and 3(or so) textures were used from Total Textures CD's, and there were some misc. other textures

However, these make up a small percentage of the total modification, as there are roughly 150-160 textures that have been redone (rough estimate, don't take that as solid fact.)
Anyway's, I'm hoping the mod will be finished and in your guys hands by tomorrow.


I promise, it will be like an entirely different game.

[CabooseJr]

even moar nice

[Halo 2 Rules!!]

Well, sorry to say it, but I won't be releasing the mod tonight. I am unhappy with several textures still, and those need to be finished before I release. Sorry guys.

[CabooseJr]

its alright, just make sure the new textures look awesome.

[GametagAeonFlux]

Looks nice so far...I still have your original texture mod applied to my Halo PC.
