A Message To All Halo Fans.

I know a lot of you don't look at every part of the Halo community, but today I want to turn your attention to a very special part of it; the [u]Custom Edition community[/u]. [b][i]What is this?[/i][/b] For the past seven years, a Halo youtube channel called Halo CE3 has been dedicated to showcasing Halo Custom Edition projects made by the community, from City Gulch to SPV3. Since 2010, MattDratt and SlowBullet have hosted an annual live show called Halo CE3 "The E3 of the Custom Edition Community" where they show off the very best projects for Custom Edition for that year, as well fan made Halo games for the PC (One of which has been posted in our forum recently https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/211416265?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=0 ). They also showcase various maps every month in their HMU(HaloMaps Update) series. [b][i]Why is this important?[/i][/b] Personally, I don't think that the Custom Edition community gets enough recognition nowadays. A lot of the Custom Edition creations make Halo 5's and Reach's best custom maps look like beginner Infection maps, but the former will tend to get less noticed than the latter. I've been watching CE3 since 2012, and they haven't grown much compared to other Halo channels. It sucks because CE3 2016 was their final year for CE3, and they put on hell of a show. So I posted this here to attract your attention, and perhaps inform more people about the Custom Edition community. [b][i]So what can I do to help?[/i][/b] Spread the word! If you got Halo Custom Edition or Halo PC, download some maps and join in on the fun! Don't have it? Then buy it! Don't have a PC capable of the running it? Then please tell your fellow Halo men and women about this amazing part of the community! [spoiler]I would say that begging 343 to release a Halo 3 Custom Edition would be a good idea, but it'll probably never happen, just like MCC being fixed.[/spoiler] [b][i]Video is too long![/i][/b] Don't worry, all of this year's showcases have their own video, I've linked my favourites down below: [spoiler]Some, if not most of these projects, are work in progress, but I'll leave links to some good projects that have been released, for those who want to download and play stuff.[/spoiler] Singleplayer maps: [spoiler] Heretic Hunt: A custom campaign that takes place during the events of Halo 2's Heretic levels https://youtu.be/wweY0EfcsB0 SPV3 Part Two: The second half of the revamped CE campaign made by the CMT team https://youtu.be/ZPSmmnQngQs Firefight: Sector 09: https://youtu.be/N6FCPLwbeU0 Firefight Descent II: https://youtu.be/W5zc-gt9tzQ Takedown Extermination, final chapter of the Takedown series: https://youtu.be/wlEMdfQaGCc Halo 3 Sierra 117 level for Halo PC: https://youtu.be/NT8v_0q4kVQ Halo CE Strategy Game Variant: https://youtu.be/npcA8zrvN3o Great singleplayer maps currently available: SPV3 Part One: https://youtu.be/I3mog7fV4oA -Project Lumoria https://youtu.be/CcmwKn0Bkv8 Takedown: The Introduction: https://youtu.be/WXz1PX9k774 Takedown: Project Lawson: https://youtu.be/_niUQEIYNxA [/spoiler] Multiplayer maps: [spoiler] The Silent Cartographer: Evolved Multiplayer V1: https://youtu.be/gpUTOC5x7Co Dreamtrap: https://youtu.be/NLPRfj968Gg Aerial, inspired by old school arena shooters: https://youtu.be/sqQ75h-bDSU Trinity Map Pack, from the creator of Extinction: https://youtu.be/iuB0mOFdXL4 Bigass V3, the newest version of CE's most downloaded map https://youtu.be/pJrm2XTU9pc [/spoiler] Fan Made Halo games: [spoiler] Galssed trailer: https://youtu.be/uudWvh32fK4 Installation 01 ViDoc: https://youtu.be/DqIxBV16V9Q [/spoiler] Machinimas: [spoiler] Hog Derby Duels Season 2 trailer: https://youtu.be/I2gr7yYkuhI Halo: Compliment Edition: https://youtu.be/ehP5hgaSzX8 [/spoiler] Previous CE3 showcases: [spoiler] CE3 2010: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE3FC373E8B473BFB CE3 2011: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2180401A3D800039 CE3 2012: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6209CDC54731A132 CE3 2013: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfdpgHYKKLioqATBfLfbnh7PQ57Zspde9 CE3 2014: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfdpgHYKKLirVx49iDpu3xOGoGMTEGJdK CE3 2015: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfdpgHYKKLipPHMuvdD8ZTRD5MgSTxsQs [/spoiler] [b][i]TL:DR[/i][/b] Hi.

  • I've had Custom Edition for a few years now and recently got a sweet new machine to run it ultra smoothly. If you're new to the game I'd recommend installing SPv3, Open Sauce, and the Universal Ui.
