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. 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 player's health and shields over time
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.

A fever dream of an experience, in the best possible meaning of the term.

Feels like I'm back in 2001 in some kind of alternate universe, playing this new game called Halo from the small-time MacOS dev Bungie Studios.

@Hawpuh could you accept the friend invite so we could chat in private? I don't want to flood the comments here.

@altis94 Awesome. Do you happen to know if it was named anything specific?
altis94  [author] Apr 24 @ 12:28am 
@Hawpuh it's a custom biped made by unevenelefant5. It was in a test map released on the forums many years ago. Originally it had a fuel rod gun but I changed it to use a plasma shotgun from the same test map instead.

Bruh literally halo crack for anyone that always wanted more halo spin offs like i did sooooooo good:steamhappy:

The mini scarab like enemy type that shoots a purple shotgun blast. Is that a custom enemy or cut content? I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere. I'm making a video of us playing through the mod and trying to be as informative as possible with it.

i understand why someone would be against ai voices, but seeing as this is a non-profit fan mod, i don't have any deep-seated issues with it.

This is the greatest Halo Mod of all time. Incredible work 11/10.
