I saw this...it's just a remix of the Pillar of Autumn, till about a quarter way through the mission, it becomes...quite different. Alot of really cool new scripted events too Those Halo CE style ODST's look sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Had to pause the video and do some errands, but I'm pretty impressed. I love the look of the Flood, wearing the outfits and armors of those they infected. Makes me wonder why that aesthetic wasn't used in CE. Maybe due to time constraints, maybe it was never considered in the first place. However, the nerd in me points out that the combat forms doing more cognitive movements and dodges is teeeechnically not lore friendly due to there being no gravemind. Unless there already is a protogravemind in this alternate mod universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Like so many amazing Halo mods, this has a bunch of great ideas. But goes overboard and starts making a mess of balance. The book only and CE weapons were my favorite additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 @BigBossBalrog Unsubscribed to that mod before finishing the first mission I hate that visor ui, and my god the bloat. Gonna try out Halo 3 Combat Evolved next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Wow holy shit, this is how Anniversary should have been. I've not played many mods, but Halo 3 CE is easily the best.

They officially added Elites as an enemy type in ODST overhauled MCC firefight mode, so if you ever wanted to feel what it was like fighting 3's elites, there's that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun channel. Super nerdy. This guy’s apparently got lots of insider contacts from when he worked in the movie industry. I don’t typically recommend my favorite Rings of Power takedown because I just assume most people would never take the time to watch it. It’s like 10 hours long and took me weeks of listening to it while driving. But basically goes scene-by-scene crazy in-depth. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elden Clown Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Me and my fiancee are so close to the end of BG3. We believe we are two side quests from focusing on the end of the story. I'm excited, A little sad but I can't wait to do it all over again. But also can't wait to get through it all with @TheCzarsHussar. This game has been grand. Just such a nice refresh and, not to drag this topic back up, I truly hope this does set a new standard somehow. It hasn't been flawless, it has bugs, glitches, rare crashes and some other issues but they're working hard to fix everything and I can't wait to see where it's at 1 year hell even a couple months down the line. They're adding/have added in either new content or some stuff that got cut. Gonna start working on my homebrew campaign again. Wouldn't mind some opinions on some stuff here and there if y'all feel up to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re pretty amusing but also well-done. Here’s the first. He makes it clear that he’s only judging the show on its own merits, and not comparing it to the books or movies. So basically, he’s lowering the bar significantly from what was set by Tolkien or even Jackson, and it still utterly fails on every level. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 So his reviews are almost as long as the actual series? I'm not sure I can stomach it but okay. If you want to watch something worthy on YT, I've been binging videos from a Swedish Boeing training pilot (since I'm an aviation expert now )- the best aviation channel I've found. His MentourPilot videos are breakdowns of air disasters, with a lot of interesting technical and personnel insights, and Mentour Now! goes into aviation technology and business news. https://www.youtube.com/@MentourPilot 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

I listen to them while driving, doing chores, playing the more mindless video games, and such. Or watch in 20 minute segments over a really long span of time. 36 minutes ago, Celan said: His MentourPilot videos are breakdowns of air disasters, with a lot of interesting technical and personnel insights, and Mentour Now! goes into aviation technology and business news. This might be a little outside my wheelhouse, but hell I’ll give it a look. Here’s a channel I’ve really enjoyed lately. He’s a former Navy Seal turned storyteller who does some pretty extensive research into spooky and mysterious historic events or news stories and presents them in a way that‘s really addicting to listen to. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCtPrkXdtCM5DACLufB9jbsA * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
