Well, sequel time already, huh? Welcome back, I guess. I'm sure you missed me more than I missed
you. Unless you didn't, in which case... Anyway, things have changed around here since last time, so they dragged me back at great expense to explain... what's up. First things first. Combat Evolved: Spartan Edition is a full repack and does not require either Halo: Combat Evolved (also known as Retail) or Halo: Custom Edition, since both are considered unsupported by both Microsoft and 343i, essentially rendering them neglected in terms of support for newer hardware. In fact, Spartan Edition comes bundled with both Retail and CE executables, running in a uniquely modified engine that unites both and the player can pick which one to run. No stone is left unturned in this mod. In contrast to MCC, Spartan Edition offers new accessibility features such as quick saving and quick loading, alongside customizable color correction, the ability to activate slow motion and fast forward on hotkeys alongside camera controls, hundreds of maps for both single and multiplayer, restored content, 4K resolution support and a lot more.
Spartan Edition comes in four separate parts : Engine, Singleplayer, Firefight and Multiplayer. Engine is just the base game and the original 19 Halo PC multiplayer maps, plus the campaign and a selection of campaign map variants.
To play more custom singleplayer maps, firefight mode or MP maps, you need to download the other parts. Otherwise, the game will run without requiring to download the additional parts, thus the game can be played with Part 1 only.
Cool
Is this compatible with Master Chief Collection?
Nope. It's a standalone download that runs on it's own engine. It says so in the description.
what is the odst hud map campaing name???
The map is called "Takeback", it's accessible in the "mountain_king" slot in the custom singleplayer maps menu. For more information, refer to the readme file.
Is there a way to fix the HUD stretching when using 16:9 resolutions?
Not without breaking the HUD in some of the custom levels, no.
dumb question but is there a particular way to download/run these mods? havent seen anything concrete yet but i could just be dumb
Nope, you just download them and then run them. They don't even require the original games to run as they function in a standalone format, much like something akin to STALKER Anomaly for example. It's designed to be plug and play and doesn't even have an installer.
