Reach is a good game. Its still up for debate as to wether it will be included. My original plan was to have the mod set around the time of First Strike. However, that may leave the UNSC with too few planets.
Things from Reach will definitely be in the game. The question is more, will the timeline of the mod be set before or after Reach. In other words, will Noble Team be a hero? Will certain planets be glassed or inhabited? Etc.
Only if there is a place for it, that makes logical sense. For example, the rail gun is pretty much interchangeable with the Spartan Laser. There is no need to shoehorn one in when its role is filled by the other and its already lore accurate.
I actually just replayed Halo 4 (as well as the original 3, Reach and ODST) for inspiration while working on this. To be honest, Halo 4 is actually not too bad. The art style changes are stupid but the game itself is alright. Halo 5 though....and then don't get me started on Halo Wars. Cool idea, decent play for a console RTS...awful, canon-breaking story (and some really, really weird unit design).
That said, while I think Halo 4 is ok on its own, it still is a separate entity from the original trilogy. John and Cortana's story should have ended on the Dawn.
Very nice !
Also, you won't be adding Halo 4 & above weapons, characters etc will you ?
No. This mod honors the original trilogy of Bungie games only.
Damn straight! To hell with the 343i Halo Games!
Also, nice model.
Aw man, so no Reach? That game aged like wine, art direction included.

I'd argue that vehicles from Reach+ should be eligible for inclusion since some of them do different things than the vehicles in 1-3

Have you ever thought about redesigning anything from 4 to fit with the original aesthetic? A SAW that looked like it belonged in 3 could be nice

EXCELLENT
Halo 4 & above ain't canon to me !
Same with Star Wars & the new trilogy

I really hope it gets the sound from Combat Evolved, every other variant of the AR sounded pathetic by comparison.
The H4 and Reach versions were ok. H3 though...what were they thinking? But I agree that the CE sfx is the best by far.
Yeah that does remind me the Halo 4 AR sound was an improvement.
