Ruby's REBALANCED Halo 4 PROTOTYPE Trailer

A two-level prototype Campaign mod focused on retooling the sandbox such that every weapon, vehicle, and piece of equipment has a distinct and meaningful role to fulfill. With changes to the AI to better interact with that sandbox, changes and additions to every levels, and much more!

You know what's really ironic about Halo 4? There's all these Forerunner weapons, *and yet no sentinel beam.* You know, the ONLY Forerunner weapon we had up until Halo 4.

[@RubyofBlue]

There's still none yet, but I would like to import the Sentinel Beam from H2A for the full mod.

My interest in Halo 4 has doubled since the last time we met, 343 industries

[@RubyofBlue]

Until MCC gets proper mod support or tools, making full-scale Campaign mods isn't sustainable at the moment. Because major updates almost always break them. This is why I'm holding off on updating or fixing Reach or 3 Rebalanced for now. However, that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with smaller scale stuff! So here's a two-level prototype for Halo 4 Rebalanced!

[@SolidusJack]

Is there a way to play 3 rebalanced? Like can I revert the game to the previous update?

Looks like you fixed the godforsaken lack of ammo. Ive been working on a concept to fix the music timing and sound design to sound better and more classic with halo infinites ost and other osts to make h4 feel and sound the best it can. I wanna try to redesign artstyle stuff next. But its all just a crazy thought rn. You inspire me tho, love all your rebalances.

Truly a fan of your mods it has opened my eyes to how weapons effect the sandbox and great a sandbox can be when every weapon has a defined rule my dream is that ever variant of weapon will be in halo infinite and they’d all have unique roles.

[@reportedbooch697]

For the love of Johnson, I hope you nerfed the Watchers. Hate those flying rats.

[@RubyofBlue]

A big part of why they were annoying was a lack of good weapons to quickly kill them. I think I've improved that! But namely I've also disabled their ability to resurrect allies.

[@Nefnoj]

I made the mistake of getting excited to try this and see what you pulled off... Before realizing that it was uploaded before Season 7. Still, I like what I see, all I cared about was if the boltshot retained its pocket shotgun trait and I saw a comment saying it does. It's the perfect tool to use generally while saving a rocket launcher for a bigger target.

[@thunderlifestudios]

Literally adding more ammo would fix this game 100%

[@j19aiden91]

I hope Ruby and team also keep the covenant and prometheans as opposing factions to help keep the combat encounters more interesting.

[@Iridescent_Astraea]

Happy to see you changed the Promethean weapons to fit their more unique Halo 5 counterparts, but still kept the cluster bomb effect of 4's Incineration Cannon that made it really feel like something between a Splaser and a rocket launcher.

[@VEN0M415]

I always wished that there was a mod that would make a melee from a needler a one hit KO with a combine explosion that takes away the half the clip when successful, or at least requires one or two more needles to cause a combine after a melee. I always love seeing these mods that enhance the gameplay to ridiculous levels of fun, It makes me think of other wacky things that could be made quite often lol.

[@Serav000]

I love the idea of rebalancing halo 4 in halo 4 a lot of the guns feel useless I can’t wait to see what you with halo 4 rebalance.

[@perrytran9504]

I'm glad to see him take influence from some of the Halo 5 versions of these guns - say what you will about it as a game, but I think it did weapon balance a lot better than a lot of the previous games in terms of making things fun and viable.

I've been waiting for this for a good while now. Can't wait to see the video on your Rebalanced mod. If possible, are you going to replace the H4 BR with the Halo 2 BR? It's wishful thinking, but that would be so cool. Also, can't wait for the SA1 video :)

I think you can make the prometheon weapons more unique by giving them burn damage. Just like the brute plasma pistol from SPV3.

[@LimySilver2]

If there's one thing that will instantly make halo 4 feel better to play is to nerf the enemy shield recharge rate to match previous entries. That and ammo economy

[@primusvsunicron1]

Master Chief and UNSC gear should be Halo 3 models for the first 3 levels (also Didact aligned Sentinels please)

[@gabethebabe3337]

Now if only the art style and pacing of the story could be revamped.

[@Manly-BeastStudios]

Should have the classic Halo 3 armor be in the first few levels. Then after the Didact encounter, have it damaged, making the Jungle level more difficult. Then when Chief bosrds the Infinity, the armor of that game is given there.

[@somepriest9700]

Oh God I'm already pumped to see what you did with the suppressor

[@andyfriederichsen]

Idea: Have hard light Forerunner weapons do some damage to the health of shielded enemies even if their energy shields are still active (meaning a shielded elite will not only have his shields draining but also his health (although significantly slower than his shields)).

[@TheE_G_G]

I really hope this becomes more than a prototype in the future, because if so, this could turn Halo 4 from an "ehh" game into a "yeah!" game.

[@redips8947]

Hope you done well with adjusting the Prometheans. Their flat command structure distinguished them alot from the Traditional hierarchy of the covenant faction.
