Today’s game is Halo. I admittedly didn’t have much I did today. I ended up booting Halo to play campaign. I figured I could grab some of the loose stragglers I have in terms of achievements for fun. I accidentally booted it up without Anti Cheat though. And that’s when i remembered “Oh yeah. I have mods”. I ended up spending all day just exploring them.

Like the one above was an incredibly faithful yet imaginative recreation of 2-fort. It was cool. I wish I had friends playing with me. But it did inspire me to see if I could do the same in Forge. Probably not. I imagine my skills are lacking and forge is less free than full on modding. But it’d be a fun challenge that I’d love to try.

Another map I played was one that was a tiny Halo Ring. I expected like a quick recap of a single level or an entire series of them. But nope. This thing was a full on recap of the entire campaign, ending in Chief’s escape.

I thought it was really cool that it denied my expectations like that. I guess I had just expected less and it delivered more.

The last level I looked at was this backrooms one. I went through it but I didn’t realize it was going to be horror. I don’t mind horror all that much, but If I’m going to be playing a Horror Halo Map I want to do it Co-op with my usual Co-op buddy. They aren’t nearly as tolerant to Horror as I am and I think it will make it infinitely more amusing.

I ended up just cutting it short because of that. I really didn’t want to spoil myself for the rest, as I still enjoy getting scared by horror. I feel like that’s the major appeal of horror. To get scared by it (at least on a surface level. On an analytical level it means a lot more to me). Or at-least for me that’s what the appeal is. So I think I’ll save it for later. I fully expect to be coming back to this though, and may even make it a screenshot.
