Zeta Ark (Custom Map and Sandbox Overhaul Preview)

Youtube

Discord

Like the overview describes this mod is a custom map/ai battle but I've been using it to test a sandbox overhaul mod that I've been working on. I plan on tweaking literally everything from the campaign and multiplayer. My vision for the overhaul is inspired by mods like Ruby's Rebalanced Halo 3 Campaign and Halo Reach Evolved Multiplayer.

How to install the map

First, locate your maps folder under "Steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\halo3\maps". Make a backup of "riverworld.map" so that you can always revert to the default map. Then just replace the map with the one from the mod and you're good to go. This mod will replace the map "Valhalla" in halo 3.
