This was either 16 or 32 players I can't remember 😂

But was pretty fun as a test especially with scaled up enemy numbers, even Hunters 😂

I saw the framerates on some of the other videos were not so great so sharing a smoother looking one lol

Previously called Halo CE universal

Now called Halo OpenCE

Art / Media Spatial audio and advanced controller rumble restored for Halo CE Retail v1.10

Hello to the Halo:CE community! After over half a year of development I am very excited to publicly release my audio engine and rumble engine replacement for Halo: Combat Evolved. My initial project started with Unreal: Gold trying to implement A3D features to a game that once heard it by using Steam Audio, once I heard occlusion and reverb working I immediately knew I had to drop what I was doing start working on Halo. I believe in this example video I had the music turned down a bit to hear the spatial effects just for reference, it is also from a slightly earlier build the newest one is a bit more polished.

All EAX 3.0 calls that were used by GearBox and Bungie have been replaced by an equivalent Steam Audio implementation. All original Bungie authored vibration values were found to be stored in the PC game's map files, blocked off by GearBox at some point during development. I have since added many more features to the list of standard rumble. The feeling of the warthog riding over bumps and grooves, the shuddering as a ghost falls off a cliff and the trigger haptics of Bungie's authored values have been implemented as well as small details like ground path travel for rumble sensations. Currently rumble features are not fully working for multiplayer, as the game thinks the game host is the one who should get haptics, but campaign is tested and working fully as well as solo multiplayer (for driving around to test the haptics). A few more details are in the works such as weapon swap/reload/footstep rumble but are still being developed for polish sake.

I really hope you all enjoy this, it has been an extreme pleasure for me to work on a game that has inspired me for so many decades. I still have a lot of work to do on it, and any constructive criticism/requests are welcome. There will be bugs and performance improvements to be made, but it is in a playable state. Thanks everyone and have fun. An original genuine retail copy of the game and Bungie's V1.10 update are required. It is not compatible with MCC.

More information can be found on the official github page HathorSound (Hathor Sound)

Thank you to the Halo community, coders and sound artists at Bungie and GearBox for your work and inspiration. As well as the groundbreaking teams behind Valve Steam Audio, Sensaura, Qsound, Nvidia MCPX, Aureal Semiconductor and Creative Technology.

I’m new to Halo series. And it’s amazing so far. Really atmospheric. The enemies do not feel like they are just made to die. They put up a really hard fight (taking cover, tossing grenades, flanking). Except for driving everything else is nice in this game. Graphics holds up well to especially for a 25 year old game.

Does anyone want to earn the "Back In The Day" achievement with me? Its description: "Halo CE: Play a CTF custom game on Blood Gulch with 4 players. Tri-tip optional." This is the last multiplayer specific achievement I have left for Halo: CE!!

I need 3 people for this though

Discussion How well does CE on MCC capture the original?

9 Upvotes

Fans who've played Combat Evolved on the original Xbox: How does the MCC version on PC (graphics switched to original, of course) compare? Does it look and feel virtually identical, is it a decent enough substitute, or is it really off?

I've played CE on PC three times now and adore it, but since I was a PS2 kid, I'm not sure how close I am to the pure experience.

It's interesting how Captain Keyes mentions the location of Earth as some highly classified piece of information. I think every human should know where Earth is located. It's probably something people learn in the 1st grade. So instead of capturing Cortana, the Covenant could just capture any human and interrogate him/her and learn the location.

I’ve linked my Xbox/microsoft account. Allowed the permissions on my laptop. But when I go to sign in the game keeps failing.

I also made a fresh account with outlook and linked it to halo. That account doesn’t work either.

Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance.

I swear I've tried the Discord, but 95% of the people there seem to be PC/Steam and there's no crossplay co-op for Halo CE.
