halothemasterchiefcollection Questions about modding Halo 4

[unholyfury422]

Hello to any who are interested,

 

I have never modded before I do not know what to expect. My hope is that those with more experience can provide some advice on what is possible/impossible, as well as point me in the direction of what areas would need to be affected to achieve the desired results. As a longtime Halo fan the campaigns of old have grown somewhat stale, well the MCC occasionally adds content I like they maybe don't provide precisely what I want and certainly not reliably enough. So I've reached the realization that the only future for Halo for me is to mod the campaigns to achieve some of what I want to keep it fresh. So below are a list of the mods I want in MCC to make the games the best versions they can be and I'm looking for feedback in how feasible is it, what needs to be edited, and if maybe it's been done. Without further ado:

 

Halo 4:

 

-Music: replace current Halo 4 background music with music from other Halo games (I have heard this one has been quite challenging to accomplish)

 

- Sound FX:

 

• Assault Rifle replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Battle Rifle replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• DMR replace with Reach
• Sniper Rifle replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Shotgun replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Magnum replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Rocket Launcher replace sound with Halo 2 ANV MP
• SAW replace with Halo 2 ANV MP turret
• Needler replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Covenant Carbine replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Fuel Rod Cannon replace with Halo Reach
• Energy Sword replace with Halo Reach
• Gravity Hammer replace with Halo Reach
• Mongoose replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Warthog replace with Halo 2 ANV Campaign
• Scorpion replace with Halo 2 ANV Campaign
• Ghost replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Banshee Replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Wraith replace with Halo 2 ANV MP

-Weapon Models:

 

• Add Halo 2 ANV MP BR to the wreckage of Forward Unto Dawn
• Sniper Rifle replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Shotgun Replace with Halo 2 ANV MP
• Sticky Detonator replace with Halo Reach Grenade Launcher
• Covenant Carbine replace with Halo 2 ANV MP

-Weapons New

 

• Plasma Rifle model and sounds from Halo 2 ANV MP
• SMG model and sounds Halo 2 ANV MP
• SMG silenced Variant Halo 2 ANV MP
• Railgun ACOG Variant with ability to zoom before firing
• Rain of Oblivion variant of Covenant Carbine full auto and gold trim
• Concussion Cannon, recoloured Fuel Rod that fires larger more damaging concussion rifle projectiles

-Allies

 

• replace marines with Halo CEA Marines
• New ally replace one marine type with Reach ODST equip with Silenced SMG
• Spartan IVS replace Gypsy Company with more unique Spartans made from MP customization

-Enemies

 

• create a new variant of the jackal ranger that makes use of Storm Rifle and maybe Rain of Oblivion
• create a new variant of Grunt Heavy (ref Halo 5 dark green with red eyes) makes use of Plasma Rifle and Concussion Cannon
• create new variant of Elite Commander (Halo 5 Mythic Commander)
• create new variant of Elite Warrior armour recolour blue does not lead troops used in small squads uses Plasma rifle
• create new variant of Hunter, Halo 5 Serpent Hunter ( increased health and damage)
• Crawler Snipe recolour to silver and red lights
• Crawler Alpha recolour to gold and teal lights
• create new variant Legendary Watcher gold and teal lights
• Knight Battlewagon recolour to silver with red lights
• Knight Comander recolour gold and teal lights
• create new Variant Knight Bannerman (ref Halo 5) red armour with red lights, this rank will replace any knights in campaign that make use of the Binary Rifle

As you can see my intent is a vast change but it is to create a Halo 4 that is more consistent with other Halo games. I appreciate your taking the time to read and any input you can provide. I realize some of these may not be feasible but I wanted to get my ideas out there. If you like any of these ideas and can action it yourself feel free to make use of them (though please let me see and use said mods). If this post achieves my desired result of getting useful feedback I may go on to post my thoughts for Reach mods.
