Halo-Loving Modder Creates Portal: Reach

If SPARTAN Noble-6 and Chell had a baby, it would play games like this.

Halo: Reach had plenty of things to love [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/8101-Review-Halo-Reach], but one thing it didn't have was orange-and-blue portals that take you from Point A to Point B. Halo fan x7revorBlackx decided to do something about that.

Presumably using the level editor mod tools that shipped with Halo: Reach, he duct-taped together a level offering a rough approximation [http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=17432437&player=x%207revorBlack%20x] of what Halo might look like if the Covenant and UNSC forces started thinking with portals.

It's obviously not anywhere close to the real thing; the modder had to use the tools he was given, and Bungie didn't think to ship Reach with a portal gun. But a concussion rifle that places teleport markers when it blows up might just be the next best thing.

Well... Modding and modding... Isent this just made using the build-in map and game-mode maker?

Not that it makes this any less awesome... To do this with the limitations there is, is only much much more awesome!^^

Cool. I really liked the part where he carried his momentum through the teleporters.

He's not a modder, he's a forger, you should probably change that.

Anyways, while what he did was, cool, it's not as cool as this:

I have a Halo CE mod for this sort of thing kicking around somewhere...

OT: Do want. Do want very much.

That's quite a creative little mod he's made there.

Having said that, I think one's system would burst into flames if it tried to run Halo on the Source engine.

Very nice. People create some weird stuff using Forge mode.

Funnily enough they actually had that feature for the teleporters back in Halo 3.

Around 0:45 was my "holy fucking shit!" moment. I did not think momentum would be conserved between his impromptu portals.

He didn't use mod tools, and isn't really a modder. He's a forger, and used Reach's Forge mode to make this. Should probably fix that.

Which makes it more impressive. Since he used the Standard Forge Mode to its fullest, and didn't hack or mod anything. Pretty damn amazing.

Yeah, playing with that momentum is really fun, especially when you teleport vehicles through them. I got a map, called "Waterslide", basically you drive a vehicle down a rap to a teleporter at the bottom, and it teleports you to the top, and you fall into it, and keep falling and falling, and you keep speeding up. Its hilariously awesome, and fun with lots of people.
