John Masterchief looks dramatic with a gun in Halo 3.

Fancy tweaking some Halo games to make some cool or cursed content? Then good news! Yesterday, developers 343 industries released modding tools forHalo 2andHalo 3alongside theMaster Chief Collection’s season 8 update.Halo: Combat Evolvedgot its own official modding tools back in June, and the new tools for 2 and 3 offer similar programs for modders to mess with. I look forward to seeing what good stuff they make.

To use Halo 2 or 3’s tools, you need to own a copy of the MCC. You can grab the Halo 2 toolsright here, and the Halo 3 toolsover here. They’ve updatedCombat Evolved’s mod toolstoo.

Halo 2 and 3’s tools are similar to those in CE’s kit. “Guerilla” lets modders edit values or tags, meaning you can alter AI, colours, textures and more. “Sapien” is a level editor that lets you mess around with weapon placement, AI squads and more. There’s also one simply named “Tool”, which is used to import content and build map files. You can find out more about what all this kit doeson Steam.

So far, modders have made a load of goodies for Combat Evolved, includingbig map packswith excellent map names such as “Frigid Keep” and “Colder Shoulder”. I also love the look ofthis night time version of CE’s Silent Cartographer mission(Halo’s glowing tech looks very pretty in the dark).
