Mercury Rising I + II

Description
A new 2 mission campaign featuring a lot of cut and custom made content.

About The Mod
Mercury Rising is a custom campaign using a variety of cut and custom assets all of which have been edited to some extent to work properly. The mod is fairly open and you can take different routes to reach your destination which will give you a different experience every time you play.
Co-op
The mod supports co-op up to 4 players over split-screen and 2 over online play. Use the alpha ring mod to play on split-screen. Each player has a slightly different character model and all players appear during cutscenes.
Equipment
There are 2 new grenade types:
  • Bubble Shield - Provides cover for 10 seconds
  • Health Regeneration - Restores health and shields for players and allies. Slightly repairs vehicles
Multiplayer
There are currently 2 multiplayer maps featured in the mod. If there is a demand I may add more.
Soundtrack
The mod features a unique soundtrack made by cheechas. He just released his debut EP, go and take a listen!

Skulls
Catch and Sputnik skulls are disabled because they break some things in this mod.
Stuck on loading screen
If you get stuck on loading screen you need to install Halo CE multiplayer.

I miss the retail weapons, I wish had those to start with. Also the drone talks too much, I wish you can speed run this part without waiting for the dialog to complete, otherwise great job!

the drone reminds me of Wheatley

This is an amazing campaign, that makes me appreciate the original Halo all the more. I actually prefer the voice acting for Cortana here, more than the main game haha. I bet if Bungie had an extra year of dev time, the entire campaign could've been more like this. 10/10.

Simply one of the best mods i've ever played. 10/10.

This feels more halo than halo, new enemies and weapon variants are weird in the best way possible. Love both new and restored content, everything feels almost like I picked up a copy of Halo CE that was released after the devs had time to cook. The only downside is the medic and drone dying made me feel depressed. Also not enough slug men! I do love the slugs but I miss jackals. Cant wait for more mods from this team.

Can't even play this game without either the drone or the medic dying.

The best MCC mod so far. Felt like a alternate Halo CE due to the sheer quality of everything.
