i wish there was a mod that let him live

Awesome little level. I had a ton of fun with the weapon changes and I particularly want to applaud you for changing the absolutely horrendous viewmodel for the Shotgun to something far more fitting. My only issue was the very first fight, it refused to play the script so I got stuck thinking I made a wrong turn for 5 minutes until I jumped up on the little bridge, where it suddenly started it all and I could progress.

It should show again now!

The latest MCC update made the mod not work anymore to appear in the campaign list.

Brute Sniper was a cut enemy in Tsavo Highway. I believe it was Brute tracker? It was like a green brute with stalker armor.

The only thing I disagree with is getting rid of duel wielding. It's not a big deal, but I always enjoy the fun that comes with being able to. Everything else is a chefs kiss. All the sandbox changes feel really satisfying and the enemy balance is exquisite. The level design was also amazing, it's cool seeing the reused assets be used in different ways. Title cards and cutscenes added some great flavor. Repurposed dialogue wasn't distracting and fit in amazingly. Another banger of a mod. Fantastic job, my good sir!

how did you make a level? can you show me some links or a guide i can follow to make one too?

Played on Legendary. I liked it! Pretty tough

Fairly challenging even on normal difficulty. Thoroughly enjoyed.

@Mr.Widward When you press the Subscribe button, the mod should automatically download. You will be able to select the mod when you click on the Halo 3 campaign. You also have to launch the modded version of the game. I tend to like visuals over text, so here is a video to show how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdXMVbiBwXY

Is there a tutorial on how to install these custom campaigns? I can't find one online and these look super cool. I'm still new to modding, so I have no idea what I'm doing

I really like the rebalances, and the Mauler is an absolute blast to use now. The pistol is also a good one, being powerful but not too OP due to scarce ammo. However, even after gitting gud at your maps and replaying multiple times, the brute chieftain bosses are consistently infuriating to fight in every single playthrough in all of your maps.

They and their helmets are beefy AF, and their insane capacity to instakill you *HEAVILY* punishes aggressive playstyles. I'll magdump several guns into a chieftain, feel like I'm just about to win, make the tiniest mistake, and then instantly die and have all of that progress thrown away. It's annoying once, and genuinely angering after multiple times. They're not fun to fight, to which some comments below agree.

Last thought, the AR is a little too OP. I use it the most out of any weapon for its range and power against brute shields, which detracts from all the other weapons for me. Otherwise, everything else is breddy gud.

Played Coop Legendary, and I must say this is a VERY solid campaign. The design of each encounter (in terms of both level design and enemy placement) was very well thought-out and the modifications to all Weapons and Enemies made this feel very refreshing to play.

If I were to name any issues I had, I felt there were just a few too many cheap spots where you could easily re-charge your shields and respawn your teammate under zero threat, but other than that I couldn't really name any problems.

Play this on heroic and I really enjoyed it

good

awesome

10 out of good

The area after you rescue Johnson is ridiculous. A Hunter pair, a dozen brutes with half of them wielding AOE brute shots with a Fuel Rod Chieftain?

You actually have enough ammo laying around that would allow me to pick them off, except after receiving a bit of damage the brutes all retreat into the building behind them. So if you can kill off the grunts and run past the hunters into the building, you now have to fight brutes with AOE weapons in CQB.

Played it on Legendary because the weapon changes made it a bit easier than usual ( AR especially). Nothing wrong with the weapon balancing, but the ridiculous difficulty spike at the end made me give up. I think Johnson was supposed to help, he said "i got your back), but he fucking never showed up.

As with your extraction point level, this custom level was so much fun to play through, you have great ideas and they really shine through! Cant wait for more, if you happen to make more!

not really fun lol

Very fun and solid; it's better than Gold City

Excellent mod. Great level design, more unique and balanced, new levels of challenging enemies and creative use of cutscenes :) all in all a great mission.

Fun mod. Felt like a halo 2 mission.

Amazing mod, enjoyed it alot.

Updates to MCC break all mods because of the way the Halo Engines work unfortunately. The mod has been updated, and should now work again.

Maybe because of game updates

Why doews this disapear from the halo 3 campaing sometimes?!

@Samsquatch the blam engine works differently than you'd expect. To put it simply, most of the game data is in every single map file individually, so you can make gameplay changes from minor to major that only apply to a single map. This is how you get little things like the Spartan Laser having infinite ammo in the final level.

Do the weapon changes only apply to this mission or the whole game?

Playing this on heroic was quite difficult, I died a lot. I like the buffs to the weapons.

I had a lot of fun playing this mission, it was a difficult in some parts and a challenge in others.
I liked the new weapon balancing made me think on my feet to deal with the enemy at hand.
I would like to see more from you in the future, even a custom campaign ;)
Great work!

- Very challenging (Chieftains especially), but overall very fun.
- Recolors suit H3 perfectly. Other mods typically go for sickly neon Red brute armors and such, but this one goes for pastel-maroon Captains, sage green brute snipers, etc etc
- Weapon rebalances allow Spiker, Magnum, and Plasma Rifles in particular to shine

apparently the short needler spikes in 3 have always been a bug that just went unfixed

great mod but fuck that fuel rod brute at the end

Yeah this was super hard before, normal dificulty felt like legendary lol

This should be used as an example of good custom missions for the workshop, it was great, had subtitles, and was fun.
I look forward to any future missions or projects you do!

the helmet flashlight didn't seem to produce visible light beam, but I could hear the on/off switch noise

Thank you. Love the commentary!

My Saving SGT Johnson play through

This was really good.

Thank you everyone for the feedback, and it's great to hear a lot of you are enjoying the map! I'll try to incorporate as many of the points mentioned by you guys in the next update as I can.

I played this when it was on NexusMods, in fact it was one of the only mods I ever actually played, I didn't like the legacy method of replacing maps to play it. Thankfully it's here now whenever I want to reminisce on such a nice challenging map. It's even pretty hard on Normal!

Very fun level, nice job. The on foot sections were the highlight and were very fun. Also have to say that the spartan laser brutes caught me off guard, and made me laugh.

Im really lookin forward to all the maps you make man, played this and golden city, both were fun as hell

i dont wanna save that monkey

This was fun!

Pretty fun map. The marines at the start didn't seem to want to follow me though.You are including the scenario tag files which are boosting the total download size up a small bit but it's not too big of a deal just something I noticed.

Very solid custom level. Decently long, somewhat challenging, and fun weapon re-balances! Level geometry is a little basic but honestly, I was kind of expecting that, so not a real fault of your own. Really hope to see what kind of levels you can make in the future!

1/10 too much Johnson -IGN

Very lovely mod, big fan. Only real complaint (and this is for the altered weapons) is that the shotgun loading 2 shells at once, that just seems wrong to me. Maybe try just speeding up the animation if you wanted it to go faster? Not sure if that's possible or not.
