Halo: Covenant Edition 2.3

Halo revolutionized shooters back in the early 2000s. Even to this day, shooters are all designed on the foundation that Halo set down. A dedicated grenade and melee button, regenerating health, and two weapon limits. However, the game still persists to this day because of how moddable it is. Halo: Covenant Edition takes full advantage of how moddable it is by turning the game completely on its head.

To install Halo: Covenant Edition, make sure you have Halo Custom Edition installed. Then, simply unzip the mod files into the game folder.

This mod changes a ton of things. The biggest, most obvious thing of course, is that you're playing as a pathetic little Grunt now. However, it's very impressive how far it goes to really sell that. Your camera is lowered so that you'll find yourself eye level with your fellow grunts. The first cutscene isn't you waking up in a cryo pod like any other lazy model change campaign mod will do, the first cutscene is instead a zoom in on a Covenant pod latching on to the human's escape pods. You start off the level pouring out of the escape pod and blasting Marines left and right.

As the campaign goes on, you'll eventually come face to face with Master Chief in a series of boss fights, which are some of the most exciting moments of the campaign. If you're a fan of the original campaign and want to experience it from another perspective, you should definitely give Halo: Covenant Edition a download.
