It was enjoyable and hilarious. Skybox is clever. Some disapointments though, 1. chronic lack of checkpoints especially after you spring dustin from jail, and 2. this is compounded by the fact i couldnt actually trigger the ending, i drove dustin all the way to the longsword and nothing happened. I kicked him out of hte gunner seat and he just ran all the way back to the jail exit lol. I watched the ending on youtube and it seems ALL enemies in hte area have to be dead for the ending to trigger, i must have had a hidden enemy somewhere. That was disappointing. I got kicked back to the start of the jail section after that because NO CHECKPOINTS, so i gave up.

The skybox alone is worth the download.

Is there a tutorial for merging BSPs together anywhere? This was a very creative use of the MP maps

Good fun mod, a little unclear at first where to go and how killing enemies "unlocks" the way forward but I loved how you spliced the MP levels all together. Only serious complaint is the absolutely atrocious music that feels like its on a 30 second loop. Awful, just awful
SockyNoob Dec 12, 2024 @ 8:40pm 
Tough as nails even on Normal difficulty. I ended up watching a playthrough of it instead and it looks amazing and is quite hilarious.

Absolute Cinema. Peak mod making

That was fun. I got lost a few times, and sometimes Echoes got stuck but it was good.
Leonardingus IV Sep 28, 2024 @ 1:29pm 
this mod is very good lol
Pramevil Sep 25, 2024 @ 8:02am 
It would be great if there was a another checkpoint from the point you unlock the prison door as it's so frustrating starting from the point you pick up the flamethrower + all the prisons with covenant never seem to open when I've played, only the ones with flood open lol

Man that destiny music is TERRIBLE. Destiny hasn't had good music since Beyond light.

after like 50 tries i finally finished it on legendary, gotta say extremely fun and amazing idea, made me laugh with the ai voices. Overall 11/10 would have a major aneurysm trying to finish this goofy/amazing mod on legendary again
Boom Sep 9, 2024 @ 12:36am 
This was awesome lmao well done, headcanon accepted

my jaw dropped when i saw that skybox that was so funny and cool

great re-use of MP geometry

only complaint, check out ruby's rebalanced's source release, for way better energy sword tags :)

@Mr. Mud you might've skipped a trigger or something, I don't know without actually looking over your shoulder on how you did that. But yes the ending is funny
Mr. Mud Sep 3, 2024 @ 8:34pm 
Really well made!! Loved the easteregg and seamless inclusion of multiplayer maps. Idk if I did something wrong but I can't seem to trigger the ending. I drive over there with Dustin but nothing happens. Am I missing something? Is the ending hilariously awesome??
Oshi no Kope Sep 2, 2024 @ 7:39pm 
Hilarious mod, loved it. Co-op doesn't work though.
Commissar Crusher Sep 2, 2024 @ 7:39pm 
Amazing mod, but needs more co-op support. Have a glitch where when someone dies, they respond in a different instants of the game and both players are out of sync.
tunnellord1337 Sep 1, 2024 @ 11:22am 
The skybox was sick and the dialogue was funny. Escorting Dustin was annoying, but if you just protect him at some points and just escape yourself, Dustin will just teleport to you. The ending was also very funny as well.

That was fun.

PRIVATE DUSTIN ECHOES SWEEP
Rollerno Aug 28, 2024 @ 8:32pm 
@Drksteel To get into the spectre you have to jump on one of the fins, then you can enter, and Dustin Echoes then ran toward the vehicle and entered it just fine, so that was just bad actionboxing. I know why the energy sword depleted after one swipe, because I kept swinging it in the air before because I like the animation, but carving through air depletes the energy in this level, so oops. And about it being completable, you can't just drive into the ship, you have to drive to the cockpit, which nearly costed me the ending. On a positive note though, replaying it was a hell of a lot of fun, I didn't enjoy it much before because of first playthrough bitchry, now on replay, I really liked it. I would recommend, but definitely not without mentioning the AI problems, he works best if you just keep running forward.
Drksteel  [author] Aug 28, 2024 @ 3:02am 
@Rollerno you can get him in the specter, idk why he bugged out for you. But the mission is 100% complete able, if albeit buggy from what I can tell. Halo 1 path-finding is truly the worst it appears lmao. I must've tested it at least 50 times on my end and he's always gotten in if i stood still for a bit.
Zilentis Aug 27, 2024 @ 3:01pm 
you have no right! NO RIGHT I TELL YOU! cooking something that goes THIS HARD
Rollerno Aug 27, 2024 @ 11:31am 
(3/3) The soundtrack was awesome (especially when you start escorting Private Dustin Myoldxbox), the skybox was great, the timer was actually pretty cool, and it lasted for just the right amount of time, the intro was shinier than gold. But unfortunately, I can't call it a good level, especially since you can't even seem to finish it. Sorry Private Dustin Echoes, but there's no saving you, mission failed, we'll get him next time.
Rollerno Aug 27, 2024 @ 11:31am 
(2/3) When he sees the outside for the first time since 2525 (that's a lore reference by the way) he stopped moving for the most part, I walked a long distance away from him, but he didn't follow me, I went back to him but his feet were still buried in the snow. I thought maybe I was supposed to get in the spectre, but you can't (which is wasted potential in my book). I got in the ghost and drove near him, but he just walked toward me a little, and then back to where he was before. I decided "screw it" and drove back to Master Chef's plane, but I couldn't finish the level, I assume I needed General Dust And Echoes with me, but if that's the case, and he's stuck, you get the point (also you can clip through the plane, not in any specific area just the whole thing).
Rollerno Aug 27, 2024 @ 11:30am 
(1/3 I had to divide this into three because of the character limit) As much as I love the writing, the level wasn't that good. When I used the assault rifle against the sentinels, the fire wasn't coming out and it didn't look like the sentinels were being hit, the energy sword depleted after one swipe, the enemies on the other side of the map during the part with the mountable covenant turret serve nothing but to confuse the player on what to do, and there's only one checkpoint (it isn't a hard map, but it wouldn't hurt to add at least one more with the length). Escorting Private Dustin Echoes was awesome, but only at first, because there's one point in the map where you have to go ahead of him a good distance before he moves again. And much worse, when you escape the underground prison/flood breeding facility, he stopped following me. This brings me to the worst part of the level, it's uncompletable, at last as far as I can tell.

A gripping tale of, Heroism, Bravery, and settling your differences for the greater good! A masterpiece of it's time :re3stars::re3stars: 6/6 Stars

I love the skybox detail.

Drksteel i love halo 1
maxjohnstonno1 Aug 26, 2024 @ 8:10am 
i really really wish that digsite would add the e3 2000 map
maxjohnstonno1 Aug 26, 2024 @ 7:21am 
Drksteel i wish the e3 2000 map from digsite would be added soon

All you gotta do is bring him to the front of the longsword, don't need to get him out of the vehicle or anything.
Shotgun Mongol Aug 25, 2024 @ 8:37pm 
Used the Revenant/ Shadow thing to get Dustin to the Longsword, then he teleported back to the Forerunner base when I got out. Great.
J. Rush Aug 25, 2024 @ 10:39am 
Actually i've found dustin gets stuck a lot. Thankfully he teleports to you sometimes.
Tonken T Aug 25, 2024 @ 4:27am 
I found that while having Dustin Echoes on the turret of the Revenant that physically placing him into the cockpit of the Longsword by driving him through it works.
Little7om Aug 24, 2024 @ 11:38pm 
@drksteel When we get outside, Dustin Echoes stops moving and just stands by the door. When I try using a vehicle he gets in, and I drive him to the longsword, but he either stays in the vehicle forever or if he gets out, he runs back to the door that goes to the inside portion of the mission, then stands there forever again.
Drksteel  [author] Aug 24, 2024 @ 7:15pm 
@little7om You gotta bring Dustin Echoes to the Longsword

Also, Dustin Echoes doesnt get stuck on the stupid door.
Little7om Aug 24, 2024 @ 6:06pm 
Had a good time playing, but I am not sure how to end the mission. There is a waypoint pointing to the longsword, but approaching the longsword does nothing and it doesn't have any prompts or collision to enter the longsword.
J. Rush Aug 24, 2024 @ 2:23pm 
Some of the checkpoints are a bit bullshit, but otherwise it's a great fast mod. Loved it.

Bug in the first area where flood want show up. I think it's from a grunt not dying in the first part. Happened to me twice.

Playing on Legendary caused the mod to regularly crash in the underground bits so I had to bump it down to Easy to beat it, short and definitely sweet mod.
