Halo 2 Ultimate Campaign Tweaks Remake

Halo 2: Ultimate Campaign Tweaks is back!

I know I said I would probably wait for Halo: MCC to stop receiving support before remaking this mod, but there's been no news from 343i regarding future updates and an extended weekend with the flu gave me some unexpected 'free' time to slowly piece this mod back together from memory. There's a few glitches here and there (more on that below) but overall it's a mostly-accurate recreation of the original Halo 2: Ultimate Campaign Tweaks mod. I'll be adding a few updates and tweaks in the future, for known issues see the bugs section below.

What is this mod?

This mod is designed to give Halo 2's campaign a refresh, making replaying the story a fun experience full of little surprises. If you have played Halo 2's campaign a hundred times (like I have) you'll love playing through this mod, as it adds just enough to make the game feel like a new experience without deviating from Bungie's original vision. I like to think that, had Bungie had a few more weeks to polish Halo 2 before release, they would have made many of the same changes to the campaign that I have implemented here. Every level has been painstakingly combed through using the modding tools, leaving no stone unturned. From better allies to more interesting enemies and a few fun additions along the way, Halo 2: Ultimate Campaign Tweaks is the best way to replay Halo 2 in 2023.
