Halo 3: Combat Evolved ALPHA BASE Hub World

Since I switched over to the Halo 3: ODST engine I wanted to make a hub world similar to Mombasa Streets for Halo 3: Combat Evolved! This is a very outdated version (last worked on April 2023) I put together real quick as a concept and I have plans to remake the hub world to be more like the level Halo which is going to be pretty cool and I can't wait to start working on it! The new version will also feature a day and night cycle, dynamic weather system and mini firefight events where you'll have to defend the base from the Covenant and so much more.
Regarding the weapons, the hub world will feature weapons from Halo 3 such as the Battle Rifle, Covenant Carbine, Beam Rifle and much more. You can load into missions with them but those weapons will NOT be featured anywhere else in any level besides what you carry, this just lets you choose if you want to play with the default sandbox or mixing things up and taking a Halo 3 weapon with you. Basically best of both worlds.
On a final note, it won't look similar to the canon (Fireteam Raven) version of Alpha Base, it'll be my own interpretation of it.
Thanks for watching! :)

Honestly seeing this makes me wonder why halo infinite didn’t have more makeshift UNSC bases scattered around instead of prim and proper FOBs

[@Marcus001]

Great visuals, bad game

[@kokomart_in]

@@Marcus001 More like mediocre environments, but good game. Infinite is fun. It's disappointing when it comes to environment variety sure, but damn did it fulfill the more sandboxy halo experience I've craved for so long. No offense to the older games, but there's always been a feeling of limitations in their more story based levels, there's only so many times I could play them without feeling like I've already done everything. Sometimes I just want to mess with the sandbox and experiment.

[@InnuendoXP]

Particularly since the teaser trailer in 2018 showed the UNSC using tents!

[@RoxanneGoat]

Even for a dated WIP, this is amazing. Truly a modder after my own heart.

[@revolverswitch]

1:17 dat CE style magnum draw

[@HokeyPokey80]

I honestly think Alpha Alpha Base looks really cool. Also have you seen what Alpha Base was supposed to look like in CE, it wasn't much but did have a beam tower in the middle.

[@BIGWojo68]

What did it use to look like? Is there concept art of it or something?

[@DirectalYT]

honestly they should use some inspiration from halo wars. how are there so many marines and yet no supplies lol in realness this mod is epic

[@HokeyPokey80]

@@BIGWojo68 If you look up HALO: CE’S LOST STORY you should find a video. It is under chapter x40, but honestly Alpha Base isn't anything special.

[@biohazardhip2385]

There's a mod out out there called spv3 and has its own alpha base but I definitely like this one but apha base was also in fireteam raven

[@seva809]

@@BIGWojo68there is a whole level taking place in Alpha Base in the arcade game Halo: Fireteam Raven, which is considered canon. Check videos or Halopedia for photos.

[@Takashiaramake]

I'm continually, deeply impressed with your work. This being an outdated build and already looking and functioning better than similar locations in plenty of officially released titles out there is a testament to your abilities. Keep up the good work!

[@Beethovenus]

You should definitely have more areas of Alpha Base open up after you complete missions -- like eventually being able to explore some Forerunner structure stuff, which gets opened up more during a "Flood attack on Alpha Base" mission (letting you see the Flood actually coming from the ring's underbelly passages, and how they transform the area.) Could do cool stuff like have Captain Keyes and other crewmen inside a Forerunner structure as the command post, and even some rooms repurposed as holding cells for Covenant prisoners -- like the Elite that Keyes & Co. interrogate to learn where the "weapons cache" (Flood containment facility) is.

[@MauricioJara]

This is fantastic, my god. I’d love to see some new marine models based off the ones from Combat Evolved too! I want to see em’ with their cool sci fi visors, and old armor!

[@icarusgaming6269]

Will there be any extra storytelling set in Alpha Base? Maybe a community cast of ODSTs could have a side story of briefings , debriefings, squad chatter, and drama with Major Silva. In the novel there were also turrets and Scorpions buried around the edges for defense, which could be a good fit for your Firefight idea

[@Kernowparadise]

Suppose we should've seen this coming, seeing as this is using the ODST version of Halo 3's engine so it has the functionality for a hub world. Absolutely fantastic work as always, can't wait to try this out!

[@Milesamanjaro]

This! It could even be semi-canon, utilizing marine characters from The Flood novel. This could act as a hub world to marine-based missions that occur from that plot. This could be from landing and recovery on Halo, and then all the way to when the Truth and Reconciliation is reboarded and destroyed.

[@gojiradestructor]

This is amazing! I'm assuming we won't be going back to Alpha Base after every mission due to how some of them flow together (for example, we're not gonna get teleported by Spark at the end of his titular level, go back to Alpha and THEN magically teleport into the Library) but it's a cool concept! I'm especially keen to see how it changes as the campaign goes on!

[@My10thAccount]

I’d imagine the best way to do it is to have your first interaction with this area in between the end of Halo and the beginning of Truth and Reconciliation. Returning after that mission before going to The Silent Cartographer and perhaps returning later in a custom made additional mission. Assault on the Control Room immediately follows up The Silent Cartographer and the later missions go tits up with a side of antediluvian nightmare creatures, which would make a proper return unlikely. Save for an aforementioned additional mission where you try to save marines from the now doomed base.

[@samcrabson2313]

@@My10thAccountYes, maybe after keyes. Returning to the hub world in the banshee, finding the fob under attack by flood and/or covenant, (or maybe finding out that the base was attacked during two betrayals and seeing wreckage/flood), then boarding the banshee and continuing onto maw

[@gabethebabe3337]

Any plans to look at the animatics for Halo CE and maybe use AI to add those dialogue scenes? I would love to see Captain Keyes give a speech to an army of marines.

[@icarusgaming6269]

I would prefer a community cast, even if you'd have to change up the story a bit

[@Robert-jq8wr]

I like this idea, a safe area to rearm between each missions. It also creates a parreral when your on longer missions and arean't able to return to rearm.

[@TheArchaeon7777]

Oh, this is awesome. I wonder if you have any extra stuff planned like cutscenes based off the books, like Silva smack-talking Chief or the ODST expedition into the Flood-tunnels below. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@MisterChief711]

The only reason why I'm looking forward to it is because it is faithful to CE.

[@archbox_]

this is so sick! the space feels like it has a good bit of character, especially with the attention to detail :3

[@SomeKindaSpy]

God I am so SO excited for this mod. You're amazingly talented and I'm continually impressed by your work.

[@Groudon185p]

You've definitely answered one of my biggest wishes from back when I first played CE, when it came out with this. This is awesome.

[@joshbolt1364]

Have you thought about putting a firing range in the Hub? This could provide a break from the missions and more life to the Hub.

[@SilverHyozanryu]

I love the idea of seeing alpha base grow over the course of the game similar to how it did on the book before the inevitable covenant attack.

[@isd_chimaera8335]

You mentioned that this is a WIP for the hub world, and that you’ll be working on it more in the future. If that’s the case, have you thought about using the description for Alpha base from Halo: the Flood as inspiration? It would be really cool to see details from the book in the mod. Just throwing that thought out there, and I’m absolutely loving the work you’re doing

[@YodaOnABender]

This looks so much better than the horrendous combat evolved remaster

[@SleepyxD117]

You're amazing Kiera, we all appreciate what you do so much!

[@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778]

Will you have an event where alpha base is attacked by the covenant? sorta like what happens in the books and in fireteam raven?

[@Kashiiera]

Yep :)

[@RoyanGreenwood23]

Imagine the hub world utilizing day and night cycles in relation to the next level!

[@etikoshai9105]

This Hub kinda reminds me of a cut mission/cutscene (am not sure which) that meant to take place between 'The Truth And Reconciliation' and 'The Silent Cartographer'

[@OfficialREVENGEMusic]

I appreciate the ambition of making more than just ce in the odst engine. the addition of alpha base is such a nice touch!

[@jehutyinp]

shout out to Mint Blits Showing this channel and what you've been up to! I cant wait to download and play the levels you've made so far!! Warms my middle school halo fan heart.

[@NaughtyKlaus]

It's like a mix between Destiny's Tower and Farm hubs, but in Halo. I like it.

[@IxXDOMINATORXxI]

[@the_Winecube_Collective]

[@LinkyTea]

looks amazing!!! can't wait to see what else u do with this mod

[@basedsneedclave175]

one thing i would add to the base is more covenant equipment (barricades, weapon crates, radio crates, shade and plasma cannon turrets) as said canonically the covenant also saw the place as a great place to set up a base and were doing so until a platoon of ODSTS swept in and captured it from them

[@slickcalf985]

never thought I'd see a hub world in halo but this is awesome

[@EliteEaterCRV]

Looks nice! Reminds me of what the camp site in the book The Flood, would have looked like. Also I don't think I have heard that version of the song at the beginning before with the additional Female Vocals ( in know there were some in og, but this seemed to have more).

[@goku262002]

In Amber clad remastered from Halo 2 Anniversary you hear it when you're riding the gondolas during Delta Halo.

[@EliteEaterCRV]

@@goku262002 ow its the remastered Muisc. I didn't like the remastered music that much in Halo CE Aniversary. I haven't played too much H2A campaign. I played H2's campaign like over 20 ish times back in da day. I'll have to checknout H2A's music some more. H2's music is my fav

[@shiny-piplup]

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER also very hard idea to do but maybe there is multible mission entrances and you unlock more of them as you play so maybe for like 343 guilty spark you have to do a mini mission were you drive to a pelacan while fighting off a small wave of covys and it can be blocked off untill you unlock it because of like a shipping cataner is being emptyed and it gets taken by a pelacan before the mission idk but you get the point maybe (i know thats harder said than done but just an idea)

[@ceazyweezy]

I've been following you since 2023. Everything you've done has passion, you can tell easily! I just love it all. Thank you.

[@seva809]

Such an amazing and well executed idea!

[@kylershahalami6453]

If I remember correctly in the books and cut storyboard of CE's cinematics, the center of Alpha Base was built around a forerunner structure similiar to the ones in CE's mission Halo, and there was a command shuttle as well. I haven't the slightest clue what a UNSC "command shuttle" is, but the forerunner structure could be a lot of fun for environmental storytelling! In the book The Flood, there's a hidden series of tunnels underneath the forerunner structure in Alpha Base that the flood used to break out and attack the base. You could do some really melancholic foreshadowing by showing a loosened grate/vent similar to the books that slowly gets more worn over time and eventually before you go to find Keyes during 343 Guilty Spark, you can revisit the vent and hear eerie noises coming from deeper down behind the grate. This project has been an absolute blast watching its development! I'm a mod creator and game dev (forever in training) myself, so I understand how much work and effort goes into this. You're doing incredible stuff for the entire community of Halo Fans. Amazing work!

[@UnboundConman]

[@yusufdunphy5402]

This is looking good and I really love how similar Alpha Base here looks to the version in Fireteam Raven.

[@luisangel1922]

I feel like this is what Halo Infinites open world should have looked like instead of an almost empty world. Just a hub area for Chief to rest and then go mission to mission, there wasnt a real need for a big ass world. This is perfect, I love it.

[@mrratchet]

[@Milesamanjaro]

I've always wanted to see something like this, as it would be a great way to have a semi-canon, marine-based campaign (a la Halo 3: ODST) utilizing marine characters from The Flood novel. This could act as a hub world to marine-based missions that occur from that plot. This could be from landing and recovery on Halo, and then all the way to when the Truth and Reconciliation is reboarded and destroyed.

[@JoeRedstone]

Amazing ! 🎉

[@o_o-037]

When you first saw Alpha base, Were you blinded by it's majesty?

[@cptpylot]

Seems perfect for firefight!

[@BaxterAndLunala]

I know it's a mod and all, but Fireteam Raven shows Alpha Base on a plateau of green surrounded by desert, not in a valley. I also would imagine this would only be accessible between Halo and Truth and Reconciliation, Truth and Reconciliation and The Silent Cartographer, and Assault on the Control Room and 343 Guilty Spark.
