There is no game, let alone a mod for a game, that has made me laugh harder than this. This is someone who has lived on the same warped side of the internet for the last 10-15 years and for that, they are welcome at every thanksgiving dinner with my family for at least the next 5 years.

on normal, this is legit harder than heroic in base Halo: CE. between the d20 grenades that might nuke the entire map, or a diamond-wielding Jackal who will backstab you, the chaos is insane. on Truth & Reconciliation, i had to turn it down to easy because i would occasionally damage my own troops so much that they would turn on me, and future spawns of them would also turn on me. watching 10+ marines turn on LMG SUPPRESSING mode at you is difficult to overcome.

the good:
+ some genuinely interesting weapon design, i hope they get a career at a game studio for this
+ good memes (subjective), that will make you laugh constantly
+ half-life references
+ re-designed cutscenes with some shenanigans
+ appropriate use of AI-backed voice impersonation

the ok:
+/- i think they added additional checkpoints if you die often in a section, although i wish there was a quicksave option. Halo: CE has a pretty frustrating checkpoint system overall
+/- genuinely frustrating in some sequences, but that's also OG Halo design issues

the bad:
- does not bring in halo 2/3 things, like hijacking or driving some vehicles, but i bet that's a programming challenge a bit too far for this mod
