Custom Edition is a free-to-download expansion of the Gearbox Software PC release of Halo: Combat Evolved from 2003 that acted as the foundation of Halo's modding community, as it is open to modifications of the campaign as well the creation of entirely new levels that could be designed and developed by anyone who owns the source material. In the past, SPV3 had to be run through Halo: Custom Edition. Halo: SPV3 is free to download from Masterz1337's Reddit page, ModDB or the MCC Project Hub (and SPV3 Support) Discord server.
3.4 New Characters, Hero Units, Enemies & Allies.
3.2 Visual & Mechanic Alterations & Settings. With every new update to SPV3, the previous versions have become unavailable to download. The update features more new additions, most notably Firefight and the reintroduction of skulls. A public beta was available to download on the SPV3 & Halo Legacies Discord server for bug fixing and gameplay balancing. The update, while tweaking aspects of the mod, added six new missions: None Left Behind, The Commander and The Commander: Evolved to the Installation 04 Campaign, as well as a separate mini Campaign, Lumoria.Ī further overhaul to the mod, SPV3.3, was released on the 14th of February 2021 after delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. On the 6th of July 2019, a further overhaul, titled SPV3.2 was released by the developers. The full release containing the other five missions, all labelled as Outbreak, came out on the 17th of August 2017. This iteration was initially released in two parts, with the first six missions, collectively dubbed Landfall, being available to play early in the year. In 2017, the SPV3 Dev Team released SPV3.1, an update of the mod, and was presented with its own game launcher and installer outside of Halo: Custom Edition, and was released with an extra mission, The Silent Cartographer: Evolved. It is purely a single player experience in every way, shape and form, hence the name Singleplayer Version 3. This means that any kind of multiplayer, including co-op Campaign, can never work with the mod. The multiplayer codes from Halo: Combat Evolved have been completely stripped from the game to create memory capacity for all of SPV3's additions and changes. Halo: SPV3 is only available on PC and is not endorsed or supported in any way by 343 Industries or Microsoft. The mod was first released on the 25th of June 2016 and created by the SPV3 Dev Team, headed by Masterz1337, a group of modders who have developed several other Halo: Custom Edition mods in the past, such as SPV2. Singleplayer Version 3, better known as SPV3, is a sophisticated, large scale mod of Halo: Custom Edition that mainly features a revamped version of Halo: Combat Evolved's Campaign, including terminals, new weapons, vehicles and enemies, additional sections of levels, vastly improved graphics and more.
