📋 About This Mod

Play through the Halo Reach campaign as a weak, squishy, under-powered ODST!

I've been wanting to play Halo Reach as a regular human but I couldn't find any mods that still worked, so I made one. This is more of a passion project for myself, but I figured I would upload it for anyone else who wants the same thing. I've made a few other game-play modifications but I've tried to stay as faithful to the original game as possible. Check below for a list of the changes I made. I recommend playing on Heroic with skulls turned on, but you can obviously play with whatever settings you want. Since you aren't a spartan anymore, you will be a lot easier to kill. On top of that, you can't throw grenades instantly, jump as high, or melee as fast/hard. If this sounds like something you'd like, go ahead and give the mod a try!

Changing your Armor/Fatigue Colors

Your appearance in-game changes depending on what armor permutations you are wearing for multiplayer. I've included a list of pictures in the mod folder for you to see what you need to wear to change your appearance. For some reason the marine armor color is controlled by your visor color. Again, just look at the picture guide that comes with the mod to see which one you want. Your fatigues are controlled by your multiplayer armor colors. Oddly enough, your secondary color will be your primary color in-game, and your primary color will be your secondary color in-game. Confused? Basically, whichever color you want to see more of, make that your secondary armor color.

Download this mod to customize your marine fully if you don't have everything unlocked in Reach!

Marine fatigue colors are typically unable to be used in-game since there aren't any multiplayer armor colors you can choose that are close to what they use. So, I swapped the Pink and Rust colors with the fatigue colors used by marines. You just need to set your Primary color to Rust and your Secondary color to Rose. I've included a picture in the gallery for you to see how it should all look. I chose those colors because I find them ugly, and the chances of anyone wanting to legitimately run around the game with those as their fatigue colors are slim to none.

Changes

Health/Shields

- Shields have been removed

HUD

- Third Person camera has been used for the entire campaign

- 3rd person weapon zoom has been added (no night vision when zooming. It's a technical limitation)

- The HUD/Night Vision now has a yellow paint job

Weapons/Damage

- Melee damage has been reduced from 100% to 25% (spine taps are still lethal)

- Grenade throw distance has been increased (to balance for the long throw-time)

- Grenade/melee attacks now take a few seconds, and fit the marine animations better

Movement/Controls

- Jump height has been reduced

- You can't hijack enemy vehicles, assassinate enemies, or dismount turre
