Mac Gaming Mods

Hey guys,

Now that I've gotten this project off the ground, I wanted to formally announce that I'll be creating a Halo: Anniversary Mod for Mac/PC Halo Full! The purpose of this mod is to not just refresh the game's appearance, but to display the best mods from around the community in celebration of 10 years of Halo!

This mod will feature, as the official Anniversary remake does, a "fully remastered campaign, and 7 of the greatest multiplayer maps of all time"! Firefight is also planned, I have my fingers crossed that it comes through!

Here's all the custom content I have put in this mod so far!

- HrH Master Chief Bipeds
- Updated Cortana Bitmaps
- Reach DMR
- Reach Magnum
- Reach Shotgun
- Reach Grenade Launcher
- Halo 3 Rocket Launcher
- Reach Plasma Launcher
- Reach/H3 Crossbreed Sniper Rifle
- Halo 3 Spartan Laser
- Reach Assault Rifle
- Halo 2 Plasma Rifle
- Reach Plasma Repeater
- H3: ODST Plasma Pistol
- Halo 3 Needler
- Reach Frag Grenades
- Reach Plasma Grenades
- Reach HUD
- Updated Bitmaps, some from CMT and some from Halo FTW, some maps combining BOTH!
- Custom Shield Flare Effects
- Shield Recharge Initiation Effects
- Custom UI

I am planning on including these maps with custom NPC bipeds, if I can work out the cross-version compatibility bugs.

The maps included in this total conversion mod:

- ALL CAMPAIGN MAPS (A10-D40)

- Beaver Creek
- Blood Gulch
- Damnation
- Hang Em High
- Infinity
- Prisoner
- Timberland

With two campaign maps already completed, I am getting really damn excited for this! Check back here for regular production updates, screenshots as they become available, and finally, for download links starting on Nov. 15!

Off to work now!

So... a map full of rips? This is not anniversairy. The point was to change as little as possible. So the DMR will not fit, and all those other weapons.

The point for THIS Anniversary is to celebrate a game that brought us years of creative and original modding. By throwing PUBLIC tags (not rips, that implies stealing) all together into one total conversion mod, that's the PC/Mac way of celebrating 10 years of Halo. In my opinion anyway. Hey, I don't see anyone else putting out any effort to do an Anniversary mod series. >.>

Aww i thought it was a acutal remake, not a shatload of imports and rips

Well what did you expect from one man armed with nothing more than Eschaton?

Oh...you have no idea.

I guess I dont. In any event...

I've already completed 4 campaign missions with all the new bitmaps, bipeds, weapons, and it looks amazing. It's a real treat to play, honestly. When you guys see gameplay, I'm sure there will be a change of heart.

Beat this?


Eschaton is the most powerful weapon in the halo modding world, I prefer it to gurella.

MFW when you can only make those with tool and guerrilla

>mfw Anniversary is just a shitty reskin

Okay seriously...people are writing the mod off before even seeing it...really? At least wait until you see gameplay before burying it in scrutiny.

And Taxi, no offense but that "shitty reskin" is something NOBODY in this modding community could accomplish. Think about everything going into CEA .

Only nobody because we don't have access to the source for combat evolved.
Though some guy was making a halo game in the cryengine, Which looked way better than any halo game made so far.

Oh whoops, nono i wasn't talking about your mod dude! I mean the actual Halo Anniversary edition thing is a "shitty reskin". o_o

…you know, the one that 343 is developing. I mean, come on. :-\


Anyway i look forward to this mod. I don't know what is happening to b40 though. I've heard that it didn't work when modified even in other cases.

Idk i'm really excited for CE Anniversary. They're adding in the terminals from Halo 3, newly animated cutscenes (if you watch their 343 runthrough, the cutscene right before "The Flood" is totally re-animated), and a bunch of other stuff that goes way beyond something like anything we've seen before. I'm definitely DL'ing it when it becomes available on XBLA.

And okay, yeah I'm definitely not abandoning two full campaign maps. I will find SOMEthing out to work around the crashing problems. Other than that, the campaign is friggin' gorgeous. I'm contemplating whether or not to put Reach-exclusive weapons in the game like the DMR and the Nade Launcher, so for now I'm leaving those tags imported but unreferenced and, depending on what people think, they can just put them in the maps themselves or I may do a version WITH Reach weapons alongside the original.

The further I dig into this, the more I get excited about finally spilling this onto the forums. It's as good as any campaign redux i've seen, IMO. Call me egotistical, but I'm in love with it It's definitely going to be my flagship release

Fuck DMR :3
Battle rifle... asweome
