1 year agoA YouTuber known as blackdimund manage to find a cut content of a halo 2 warthog run in the level high charity, so he decided to restore it and bring it to life once again to be modded for halo 2 for the pc, so enjoy this mod guys to make your game extended and finish off with a bang!

EDIT 3/6/18 - We have someone making huge breakthroughs on getting the game to run at 60 fps while at 30 tick. However in the mean time if you want to try it out now, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/7w7ufw/heres_how_you_can_superbounce_on_h2v_now/
This is probably going to be a bit of a complicated post to write as we have kinda literally just figured this out. This post might also be a bit drawn out as there is a lot to explain but just bare with me.
So a few days my friend Hootspa was trying to get H2V to function properly at higher frame rates (the game starts to break above 60 doing all sorts of weird things like playing in slow motion and mouse stuttering). Reversing the game and using cheat engine he had found some different 'addresses' that frame rates are tied to that were causing the issues. He started changing values and did indeed fix some of the issues with high FPS and only a few more issues to be resolve with it. During this time and messing around with the values he had found, a friend of ours, re4thewin tried changing these values to what was an equal match to original Halo 2. So without getting too in detail here, he not only changed the frame rate of the game to 30FPS but some more 'under the hood' stuff as well to match that of orig. Xbox Halo 2.
Long story short, I tried it as well... Super bouncing worked! Perfectly! Not just the mega-bounces like off Ascension that work already, but all of them! In fact, we found out through testing tonight that it is 1:1 with original Halo 2 in every way. The fire rates were firing normally (without my H2X mod that changes fire rates to match original H2 but in 60fps, for those who have seen it), the double shot timing felt EXACTLY to that of original H2, seemed to be fixed and the rest of the physics-tied things within the game are acting perfectly in line with the way they do on original Halo 2. If you can think of it, we probably frantically scurried to test it, and it functioned the same.
This. is. incredible.
The problem now is for us to figure out how we will make it available to others in the community with Project Cartographer for people to play on. I personally would like to see it kick in with a game variant name. But that will be discussed more in the near future.
Halo 2 PC is about to get bigger and better than ever before. For everyone. Whether you like it as it is, maybe you want 60fps but original fire rates to match that of original H2, OR MAYBE you want the 1:1 experience from original Halo 2 discussed in this post. You got it. We love Halo 2. Simple as that. We support it, continue to improve it and add more features to the game. The PC Halo community is filled with people who love the game and many of us (like myself) play it on console as well. We welcome anyone who wants to come and join us!
Also, on one last side note. Other things thought to have been broken on H2V such as spawns do not appear to be any different from original H2 as of the testing we have done so far.
Here is the video of me recording it the very first time I got it when testing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IUcqwd0fy8
And here is a video / montage my friend Headhunt3rv3 made with lots of bounces: https://youtu.be/jcbjfrjxSag

4 years agoA NOTE: you don't need windows vista to play Halo 2 Vista!!! it is very simply a PC port of halo 2, and will run on ANY OS newer than windows XP, including vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. go get it now and come play!
ANYWAYS, i've showed this thingy off a couple of times in this subreddit, but it's now (for the most part) completed. you can find the download link here:
not only does this tool fix the awful mouse input in halo 2, it also allows for realtime adjustment of FoV and crosshair placement. you can see some gameplay on this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWBnku_56gs
cheers!
