Halo 3: Combat Evolved KEYES Gameplay!

Now looking better than it did before, KEYES is the next mission that'll be available in Halo 3: Combat Evolved! I played through the mission in Japanese with subtitles on to showcase off that the mod will support ALL the languages that the original supported in an upcoming update, I'm very excited to make the mod more accessible for others. :)
Moving to the ODST engine meant the old version I did of Keyes became outdated and dragging and dropping the tags from Halo 3 to ODST was not an option, which meant I had to recreate the entire mission again from scratch and I honestly didn't mind. The old version was more of a bad port anyways so the move gave me an excuse to recreate the mission again but at a MUCH higher level of polish and visual fidelity!
As per usual, a pre-release version of the mission will be available soon so that I can gather feedback and receive bug reports that I can act upon before it's officially included within the mod!

[@TrystaneTheBlack]

crazy that it looks so many levels beyond better than the anniversary game 343 gave us

[@OfficialOpinion]

Granted; It's been 12 years since that came out. But this Halo 3 mod version absolutely blows it out of the water ♡

[@CRiles694]

@MariaFlores-KAII pretty much the definition of abomination.

[@KarmodF]

Anniversary wasnt made by 343, it was made by Sabre Interactive while 343 made 4, they only gave them 2 packs of beer during the development (Unironically close to what actually happend) 2:Anniversary, while not perfect was waaaaay better.

[@TrystaneTheBlack]

​@KarmodF I knew it was directly made by them, that's why I simply said it was the game they gave us and they still published it. Which I wouldn't blame the people who made it but rather 343 for the lack of direction they gave them.

[@lunamoon1918]

Yeah way better than the original anniversary 😁

[@EveryDaySkinnyGuy]

The fact you remade the whole mod from scratch after moving to the ODST engine is insane, keep up the great work!!

[@clankaplum]

You can move tags over between 3 and ODST fairly easily.

Drag & drop is not a supported workflow and just causes issues

The lighting in this level is super well done. Really nice work with this mod.

[@jericosha2842]

I appreciate the pistol having the proper viewmodel position. Just wish Halo 3's was shinier like CE lol. Thanks for making this, it's beautiful.

[@XxI3ioHazardxX]

Wow this blew me away! You nailed the atmosphere and lighting with this. Excellent work!

This is incredible, this is so fucking cool. The inside parts kinda feels like Data Hive from ODST to watch, the plasma leak down-below section is super impressive and so much work must have gone into bits you might only see for seconds. Thank you!!

Really cool to see so much time put into a mod like this

[@CellVidsRBoring]

Thank you for honoring the universe - I had a deep love for this game growing up - even made documentaries on my channel way back.

[@JinVanStein]

Kashiiera, your mods/game design skills are superb! Your work is amazing and visually mind-blowing!

This is all I ever wanted for Halo TSC gonna be next level

[@redko79]

This should be officialized by 343. Top work. The greatest of all mods so far. Damn...

En cada mision se nota tu esfuerzo y esmero por ver crecer mas esta hermosa franquicia que es Halo, gracias por darle ese amor que 343 no le pudo entregar❤️ Ojala y pronto este al 100% todas las misiones y logres subir el mod sin que te lo tumben ❤️🙌

[@chipsdubbo5.56]

Outstanding!!! I am Blown Away!! (Breaking Benjamin reference 😉)

[@RileySkye100]

Just amazing! Can't wait for you to tackle the rest of the levels. Maybe 343 might consider recruiting you one day. lol

[@PoPoBye123]

your work is awesome kashi

[@FlyingFlumpasaurus]

Amazing work as ever. Any thoughts on which level is next? Hopefully after a well-earned break, regardless!

[@Kashiiera]

After this is out I might remake Death Island as practice for The Silent Cartogrepher, if not that then most likely POA

[@falkonsrt6000]

​@@Kashiiera the silent cartographer would be amazing, specially with the ark cartographer assets, i can't wait to see your interpretation

[@MauricioJara]

I'd love to see your take on The Silent Cartographer hands down@@Kashiiera . But I am so curious on how the Pillar of Autumn would look in Halo 3's art direction too. Hopefully its faithful. I love how gloomy and cold the lighting is on POA!

[@Fletch249]

You are amazing. Your work is amazing. Even if you stopped making the mod tomorrow that wouldn't change. Bless you

[@Kashiiera]

Perhaps

[@scarlettNET]

This looks incredible! Will the VISR stuff get replaced by a proper flashlight at some point further on in development? Or is it something hardcoded into ODST's version of the Blam! engine?

[@lunamoon1918]

[@Jedisage909]

This is flames

[@GymBossAniki]

Impressive! I remember when reintroducing the Motion Tracker back to the hud and Player Shield Flares were a issue for Halo 3 ODST modding before, with those problems out of the way ODST really is turning out to be the best Halo 3 for modding... except for maybe equipment usage being nulled too deep in the code as that might make Halo 3 still hold some importance. I have to ask though, with ODST on MCC now apparently allowing for standard halo custom games, is the MP half of the project staying with Halo 3 or also moving over to ODST's engine in the future? Id figure it would likely be more comfortable to only make the MP switch once the campaign is closer to overall completion work load wise but Id like to know your thoughts on the matter. Id figure the only improvement on the MP side would be being able to have med kits act more like their map pick up style of OG CE/ODST/Reach rather than something you had to carry as a equipment due to og Halo 3 engine jank but thats my only knowledge on what would change gameplay wise from such a endeavor.

[@Kashiiera]

Equipment works fine, and the multiplayer is already on ODST :)

[@GymBossAniki]

@@Kashiiera SWEET! Many thanks for the response, ODST really is a direct upgrade engine wise as I suspected then. Cant wait to see what comes next after Keyes/TaR then, this project and the Digsite stuff have been near single handedly keeping me interested in Halo lately with how much heart is being put into them. Keep up the great work and good luck on those later levels.

[@ImaginArt24]

also make sure the the plasma pistol overcharge can still kill enemys

[@Kashiiera]

It can!
