Comment on I've been playing 'Ruby's Rebalanced HALO: CE' mod and it is fantastic.

The same person is currently working on rebalancing Halo 2 as well. I don’t follow it closely enough to have any clue when it’ll be done, but I’m excited to try it when it finally is. H2 had loads of set-backs when being developed, and I’d love to see the game properly balanced and with extra content.

I’ve been watching Ruby’s last few livestreams, it’s amazing what he’s doing. The changes are much more in depth than what he did with CE : jackal shields, fighting marines when playing as the arbiter, revamped fight against the prophet of regret… he was working on the quarantine zone recently, which makes him over two thirds of the way through.

Is he doing anything about the swarms of Jackal snipers in Halo 2?i loved Halo 2, but you can tell Bungie got lazy in the campaign by just putting a bunch of snipers on god mode.

Yes, I can confirm he mentions his adjustments to jackal snipers in “overhauling the covenant”

I’m pretty sure he did, but not sure where he talks about it. You should try watching his older livestreams on the early levels, or his recent “overhauling the covenant” video.

In videos he has mentioned both reducing the damage from the sniper rifles so they aren’t one-hit kills, and allowing jackels to use carbines which will replace some sniper jackels.
