I've never heard of Halo 2: Cortana before. Is that a mod? I've never seen it on the Nexus or on ModDB before.
Yup, it's a mod that's part of this collection, based on the Japanese version of Halo 2. It's one of the new things this collection has, among other things, so it's why you haven't heard of it.
Stubbs the Zombie is missing. Since as you know that game uses the same engine of Halo CE.
Not the exact same engine (a modified one) plus it's not made by Bungie. Otherwise I would've included Abuse since it was *published* by Bungie. Nevertheless, the point is I'm focusing strictly on pre-Halo 3 Bungie games without emulators, so Stubbs isn't going to be in this.
Congratulations. Combet Evolved: Spartan Edition, celebrate 1 years anniversary release date.
I actually have a final update planned in the months to come with even more improvements, but I couldn't release it on the 22nd though because of life getting in the way. Stay tuned!
Hey! Fantastic work on this! Only issue i'm experiencing is that whenever I load "The Commander" it starts to play "Halo" and similar mixups with other SPV3 levels. Any clue how to fix this?
Unfortunately, that's by design. In fact when you load levels through the SPV3 tab, it's not *really* loading SPV3 levels; it's loading SOI's Singleplayer Adventure V3 levels instead. SPV3 doesn't work at all unless you install OpenSauce, and Spartan Edition doesn't support OpenSauce unless you remove Chimera, and if you remove Chimera, it removes the interpolation effect (60FPS animations instead of 30FPS) among many other important fixes, but most importantly, it would remove the portability factor. Even if OpenSauce worked with Chimera, only old versions of SPV3 would be supported, which wouldn't have any extra maps like The Commander. So instead, I decided to fill the level slots with other maps instead. The readme file details what those changes are. I couldn't be able to modify Universal UI at the time to change the menu to reflect the map changes. I'm sorry if I caused any confusion.
Wow ,amazing ,great upload ,thanks !
Is the version on Internet Archive same as this one?
I'll try the torrent from there if it is.
I have a version archived dated from around Sep.2021
The September 2021 build is outdated since that was the first version of Spartan Edition. I released Version 2 (the current one) in March 2022. The Internet Archive version was also updated shortly after, so yeah, it's the same as this one. The archive version is compressed with 7zip though because uploading this whole thing on zip proved to be... mildly infuriating, to say the least, so you'll need 7zip in order to open that version. On the other hand, it's smaller in size, so there's that tradeoff. Both are the same, just in different zip formats.
But if you already have 7zip, the archive version is definitely easier and faster to download.
