I've been giving the slipspace effects some ODST-inspired polish for Halo 2: REBALANCE

Add some subtle drop pods coming in

look again ;)

Blind 😂 that is awesome

Oh shit… there they are…

girl the lighting differences are actually insane???

thanks!! comparison shots:

Insane how detailed the model actually is and how much the original lighting system could have showed it off. If this is the standard for how rebalanced's cutscenes will look I am extremely excited

Will always appreciate the nods towards ODST. For too long! 343 Studios have ignored them in games!

Ayyyyyy, I see those troopers in the corner. That's an absolute nice touch there. Can't wait to play this mod

Quick unrelated question. But will halo 2 rebalanced also fix the music audio levels problem?

yep, audio levels have all been fixed for H2R

you my hero bro

THE ODST DROPPODS IN THE BACKGROUND

Absolutely amazing- so excited for this mod

Oh this mod is going to be a treat!

Please. No more. Wait till the launch is close.

It looks 1000 times better with those lighting improvements ✨✌️

You're always doing crazy stuff :D

Everything you post with this project looks so awesome! Love the drop pods coming down. It’s great to see Halo 2 getting some serious love after all these years.

The drop pods are a great touch

never even thought about adding a light to the slipspace shockwave, super cool!

There were a lot more pods, Alpha-9 only survived because their mission was altered

I'm currently playing this game on the original Xbox. Some of the dynamic lighting is in portions of the game. I guess Bungie couldn't use this lighting for the whole game on OG Xbox because it was so demanding & advanced for the time & it would have tanked the game's performance

Is it possible to have odst drop pods falling from the sky in this cutscene?

The drop pods in that final shot was a very nice touch.

So is this fixing halo 2 mod or is this still ruby rebalance? Very excited to play this :>

yeah this is all for Ruby's Halo 2: REBALANCE

Alright, this got some polish to it.

This is a nice touch. Is that the only H3ODST easter-egg or are we able to see things like the safari-park or the ONI cube building?
