Halo Except It's Incredibly Cursed Again

hello there and welcome to this video content today I want to introduce you to my two best friends test underscore grunt 2 and my really big pistol here say hello big pistol [Music] so yeah this is cursed Halo again I really wasn't planning on doing another update for cursed Halo but I couldn't help myself did Halo really need grunts that throw splash potions of blindness at you probably not or definitely not but that is a thing now and so if your screen turns black while you're playing this mod Don't Panic you're just blind wait uh and speaking of things that might make you go blind yeah it works too I mean listen if you're okay with lowered crosshairs and shooters then you can't complain about this it's literally the same thing what you can complain about though is the fact that the automatic 360 no scope sniper rifle is unfortunately very bugged and I had to remove it from the mod please send your complaints to keemstar redlettermedia.com alright so enough random tangents I should probably explain what this video is actually about a few months ago Halo the mustard beep connection finally got Steam Workshop support and it's pretty great 343 has finally made it so you don't need a degree in computer science just to install a mod it's quite literally just one click and you're done so I've been porting over a few of my old mods to the Steam Workshop so people can play them easier and of course when I got to Cursed Halo I was distracted and by distracted I I mean I I doubled the amount of content in the mod or tripled it something along those lines I mean check it out black hole so yeah I still plan on doing a cursed Halo 2 or 3 or whatever but I just got carried away adding a shitload of [ __ ] this mod most notably new cutscenes and boyo there is a reason most mods don't have custom cutscenes the amount of work I put into just adding a couple of new scenes to this game is mind-blowing but it was very necessary for the new content I wanted to do for The Campaign which is completely lore friendly suit upgrades hey Jeep over here the ball is down at RND asked me to give this to you ASAP some kind of upgrade to your suit supposed to give you some kind of crazy ass Bruce Lee Powers if you can move Lee the first upgrade you get is a karate module that allows you to do spin kicks and jump kicks it's more friendly seriously there's nothing in the Lord that says he can't do that he can do that the second upgrade is of course four pistols duct taped to your legs which allows you to double jump listen the science is there look XKCD did a comic about this once more friendly and also the pistols upgrade your spin kick so that it's a gun spin kick so you can kick your enemies while you're shooting them and last upgrade well I don't want to spoil it but my only regret here is that I now have to come up with something even stupider for the next cursed Halo mod and I'm just not sure if that's possible okay I I lied this is a perfectly normal Halo pistol that reverses all of your controls it is technically the best weapon in the game by a fairly wide margin but it's unusable this is the game design equivalent of a brain hemorrhage and I'm very proud of it okay so let's actually talk about design for just a bit here one of my main goals with this update was to expand the amount of content in the campaign cursed Halo was originally just a pack of goofy weapons and not much else but in this version I've done my best to add a wide variety of new enemy types and events to the campaign some of them are better designs than others for example here we have the Covenant craft troops the grunts have bows crossbows and splash potions and will generally harass you from a distance while the jackals have a diamond sword and shield and will rush you down and stab you and the elites have a fire crossbow and Diamond ax and they will just bombard you with TNT from a distance I fine-tuned the AI for these enemies pretty well and I gotta say the sword and shield jackals are just kind of terrifying I animated them so they can run with their Shield tell up in front of them and it makes them really difficult to hit without an explosive weapon and for some God forsaken reason I gave their Shields the Ricochet property so that projectiles bounce back at you here's my Pro tip though if you're having a bad time don't panic just spin kick them into orbit another enemy type that got a massive redesign in this version of cursed Halo is the hunters and to put it pretty simply I made them into a bullet hell foreign [Music] [Music] Hunters have three firing modes now a giant quad laser beam a quad laser laser projectile and a laser rapid quad laser lift I mean what the [ __ ] did I just say and if you somehow survive all of that I also gave the hunters a special flying spin slash maneuver which makes them the official anime adaptation of Halo's Hunters you're welcome Japan now I could talk all day about enemy designs because there's just a ton of new content in this mod from the magnanimous RGB Special Forces Unit to the humble piss grunt but I don't want to spoil all the surprises that this campaign has to offer I gotta leave some mystery and Intrigue for you guys to discover like is that grunt holding a tool gun I don't know are those perfect accuracy sniper jackals maybe or am I just trolling who knows alright so now let's talk about the biggest change in this version of The Mod the um Halo cart Grand Prix [Applause] [Music] foreign so yeah some of you may remember the Halo cart multiplayer mod I made a few years back I tried to Port it over to MCC but I could not get it working due to some weird technical issues that I'm not going to get into but I didn't really want to scrap the whole thing because it's full of quality content so I spent like two weeks developing AI driving in Halo 1 and I made it a part of the campaign and I know a lot of you may be thinking that Halo 1 already had AI that could drive but I am here to tell you that is not correct Halo 1's AI is utterly incapable of driving in a straight line and it wasn't until Halo 2 that the AI could actually drive a warthog without wrecking it into a ditch in under 30 seconds the code I added to make this work is an unbelievable mess and it pushes the game engine way past its limits but it does work and trust me when I say it is a miracle that it works so yeah now you can enjoy this racing game in the middle of your shooter game oh and for anyone who's worried that this is a non-war friendly Edition I actually went ahead and added two new cutscenes that give perfectly logical explanations as to why there is a five Race Grand Prix right in the middle of the Halo campaign so yeah it's all good Gamers don't worry about it [Music] another fun addition to the mod is the new grenade types the new D20 frag grenades have been massively improved they originally had about 40 possible random outcomes and now it is up to over 90. just about anything is possible when you throw one of these stupid grenades from a Minecraft chest full of goodies to a flashbang to a nuclear detonation [Music] oh the plasma the plasma grenade has also been reworked to be more chaotic and less performance heavy and overall it just works a lot better than the old versions next we have the TNT block grenade which is primarily dropped by the Covenant craft troops and works pretty much like though you should be aware they are very temperamental and if you shoot one or accidentally hit one with another grenade it will probably kill you and the final grenade type in this mod is the throwable warthog which sure is and speaking of tiny warthogs let's go ahead and talk about the library this is a level that pretty much no one likes it's just a dozen or so hallways filled with flood and then morphle at the end with some flood in between so I redesigned it a bit and made it into a Cooperative driving level the idea is real simple instead of fighting your way through hordes of flood solo you and your best buddy Sergeant Johnson just splatter your way through to the end in style and this change not only makes the level about half as long but twice as enjoyable most of that enjoyment is of course thanks to vocal butcher who voiced over 300 new lines for sergeant Johnson and of course I also spent quite a bit of time integrating Johnson into the levels that he is able to see and hear what is going on and respond with the appropriate level of self-referential dialogue despite the contagious protocols get effective weapons how about my boot up your ass [ __ ] how does that sound basically what I'm trying to say is I made the library kind of fun and that is an accomplishment oh and also one more little thing about this level I may have added a math quiz to the end question one what is six times seven and speaking of questionable design decisions near the end of Halo 1's campaign Master Chief steals a Banshee from a covenant Cruiser and flies it over a desert to get to the crash site of the pillar of Autumn and this mod however Chief instead steals a warthog and then he drives it to the crash site through the desert a desert that I also just randomly decided to make a lot bigger what a weird series of coincidences yeah all right guys check this out this is assault rifle please post your complaints in the comments below joking aside though this is a really questionable gun it's a beam weapon that deals very low damage but has a random chance to cause a super suck event uh I don't know why I made this in the original cursed Halo I never really touched the Sentinels I just didn't know what to do with them at the time and kind of just left them alone but with the wonders of modern Computing I have finally made a momentous breakthrough in comedy technology they now say Pew when they shoot [Music] oh and also aperture Laboratories sent me over some prototype Sentinels that are pretty interesting they even have a small chance to drop an ar2 if you kill them oh okay so you see the joke is that I could have imported the model for the actual ar2 from Half-Life but instead of doing that I just copy pasted the Halo assault rifle model and renamed it to assault rifle too so it's so it's an AR too please post your laughter in the comments below another big Improvement I made in this version the mod is I've reworked and expanded all of the Minecraft items the mod now has a much wider variety of weapons including some neat little Enchanted variants and there's like a dozen different Minecraft potions now as well which includes both drinkable potions and throwable splash potions and the best part is they all just show up as unidentified potion so you guys have no idea what any of them do and I'm not going to tell you you just have to test them out and try and remember what they do based on what color they are and while that is fairly sadistic game design it is far from the meanest thing I've added to this mod another Edition that I spent a fair amount of time on was tool guns there are now a dozen or so different tool guns than mod that each have a unique function some of them are useful some of them are chaotic and some of them are um personally my favorite one is the pool tool gun it combos really well with a diamond ax that has the knockback enchantment oh and of course honorable mention to the Thruster tool gun it's just an absolute treasure as well but my overall favorite addition to the mod still might just be the really big pistol that I showed at the start it was obviously inspired by an old hyper video which a lot of people are familiar with and yeah it's just super satisfying I even set up custom impacts so that when you hit like a grunt or something it just vaporizes them and sprays blood all over the walls around it it's like modern art but kind of actually though I and with that let's go ahead and move on to our last little subject here which is the multiplayer cursed Halo version 1 had a set of multiplayer maps that were interesting but cursed Halo version 2 did not have those multiplayer maps because I could not be asked to actually update them this new version also doesn't have multiplayer maps yet I'm leaving it up to you guys to make that happen I'm setting you all a challenge if this video can get one like we will do a follow-up video with Chris Taylor multiplayer expansion if you want to play the mod there's a link in the description if you haven't seen the videos for cursed Halo version 1 and 2 then check them out they're on the screen and if you're a patron then you can find your name here on the Jumbotron that I had to use an 8K texture for because goddamn and also no sponsor for this video because this isn't about the money it's about sending a message and that wraps this up thank you all for watching and I hope you all have a tasty brunch
