Finally, my PC was ready to install Halo SPV, a mod (for a mod) for an ancient game.įor the sake of comparison, I played the first couple of levels of Halo straight from the can, no mods, no graphical updates. I was forced to cruise eBay for an old boxed copy to play Halo SPV.īefore I got to SPV I had to install Halo: Custom Edition, an ancient set of modding tools still used by the Halo PC community today. Since the fabled Master Chief Collection isn't out on PC yet (and wouldn't be compatible with this mod anyway), there's no way to buy Halo for PC digitally. Unlike the piracy gray area of region-cracking that lead to Halo Online, Halo SPV is a totally legal mod that requires a legit copy of Halo to run. 'Easier' is not the same as 'easy,' however.
Halo SPV strikes a careful balance between updating and preservation
