Up to this point, I played Halo on PC for a short time when I was over at a friend's house and never really looked back on it. I wanted to get it, but never had any intention on doing so. Then, I saw Project Lumoria and decided to buy a copy, download Halo: Custom Edition and play Lumoria; I was one to generally enjoy Halo single player campaigns (With exceptions for Halo 3 and ODST, those were not very good.) and when I installed this, I was truly blown away.

The levels in this mod were absolutely incredible, they were well made, well thought out and they all had their awesome and spectacular moments. The atmostphere they put into each level was something to really take note of since it really leaves some impact for the player and brings back the old Halo feeling of being in a mysterious place.

The gameplay was something that I was completely thrown off by. Not only does this mod create some awesome fire fights, but there are some interesting enemy additions from other games put in here. Not to mention they fixed the Hunters dying from one shot from the pistol or sniper, so now they present an actual challenge!

The music that plays in two certain battles are absolutely awesome and are pretty close to some of my favorite battles in FPS games now. Also, there are bosses which are absolutely awesome to duke it out with! The final one in particular is probably one of my favorite final bosses ever, it was absolutely unfriggin' believable!

The Music that the mod includes are tracks from Halo 1 and 2, and they play at very fitting areas. Its like a dream come true for this mod in my eyes. Also to bring up the story, it was actually good! At first I was expecting a basic story with mediocre cutscenes and voice acting, but it all went past my expectations very quickly as I played the mod.

Overall, if you own Halo: CE on PC and you want some more single player carnage, you came to the right place. Give Lumoria a chance, it was incredible from start to finish!

My god, out of all the mods I have ever played, this one was well made, very well thought out, and it blew my expectations away. It has an interesting, mysterious story that kept me going the whole way, great visuals and areas, but most importantly, the game play is solid!

It combines stealth and action and practically pushes it to the limit. All the while your characters own survival with food, medical supplies and other useful tools and necessities keep you going; to the point where "useless exploring" for random items may be your only chance to survive in your next encounter!

The sound track was also, by far, one of the most incredible and original soundtracks for a mod I have ever heard. My god the music is nearly perfected to every scene in the game, so much effort and time to create such epic tunes.

There is so much to this game, it feels like a robbery that its a free mod. Combine the idea that the prologue and first chapter combined can exceed well past 12 to 14 hours, AND there are still more episodes to come! Even after the chapters are over, you can still explore the house for further story and game play!

Overall, this mod is now easily one of my favorite mods of all time, hands down. The game play, the story, the soundtrack, just EVERYTHING had love and care put into it. This IS a must play!

Extremely fun and mature mod. Magnificent story telling and well made game play. My only complaint is that the final boss is extremely challenging, not even in terms of being fair and balanced out but more on the lines of being a rushed incohesive mess of a thing the creator made at the last second.

The boss had way too much health and moved very quickly compared to you. It makes the original final boss of Half Life look like a cake walk compared to how much health and how long it takes to kill this one is. I have no clue how easy he is on easy, but he should not be this tough on a medium difficulty setting. (FYI his insides are not solid sometimes, its a weird thing.)

It does not hinder on everything else though. Now my top MOTYs are three.
