Mercury Rising

Description
Investigate a mysterious distress signal and find out what happened.
About The Mod
Mercury Rising is a custom campaign mission based on a multiplayer map Mercury Falling. It's using a variety of cut and custom assets all of which have been edited to some extent to work properly. The map is fairly open and you can take different routes to reach your destination which will give you a different experience every time you play.

The entire mod has been made in roughly 5 weeks. There are some things that could have been done better but the whole idea was to make the mod as fast as I could.
Co-op
The mod works on co-op. Each player has a slightly different character model and both players appear during cutscenes.
Equipment
There are 2 new grenade types:
  • Bubble Shield - Provides cover for 10 seconds
  • Health Regeneration - Restores player's health and shields over time
Skulls
Catch and Sputnik skulls are disabled because they break some things in this mod.
Stuck on loading screen
If you get stuck on loading screen you need to install Halo CE multiplayer.

This is by far my favorite mod. It felt like I was a kid playing Halo for the first time

Amazing mod! I made a video on it playing on Heroic. Very fun! Unfortunately, I can't link the mod page due to my lack of upload history, but I'll linking your channel in the description if that's ok with you. If not. do please let me know.

I was totally lost in this mod but that's what made it really fun, the adventure/exploration, finding new weapons, running into enemies, constantly dodging snipers - IT ENDED WAY TOO FAST! There is potential for a huge story line too, I was SHOOK when I realised what happened after killing the boss... that was messed up and almost didn't finish the mission.:steamthumbsup:

Any plans to expand on this?

I would love to see someone create a mini-campaign of sorts which bridges what happens to Chief, Cortana, and Johnson between CE and 2 (perhaps even a loose adaptation of First Strike?).
