Traxus - UE5 - Installation 01
Traxus is built in UE5 with the same design principles as Halo 2’s multiplayer suite. It’s designed to play well in both 2v2 and 4v4: 2v2 stays slow and methodical, while 4v4 turns fast and hectic (think Lockout & Sanctuary).

Cards are on the table.
Go all in and pick up a deck of Halo Playing Cards from @_Dyenamik. Three different decks, three different looks to choose from!

While all of these Halo decompilation and MCC launchers are really cool, I see segmenting of the Halo player base that's going to end up undoing a lot of the success MCC eventually gained uniting players. Hoping I'm wrong, but can't shake the feeling with the current trajectory.

I'm looking for content creators who are also military veterans, AND who are also into cars. If you know anyone like this, tag them in the replies.
I have a pretty sick opportunity for them.
Need recommendations asap.

Project Gravemind — Update!
❤️WE DID IT! WE BROKE HALO 2'S 16-PLAYER LIMIT.
Multiplayer: 24 players.
We tested matches with 24 players alive and synchronized on Lockout, Midship, and Coagulation.
We had to overcome several engine limitations:
Expanded network messages that only supported 16 players.
Adapted player identification, which used only 4 bits.
Fixed memory issues that caused crashes when player 17 joined.
Removed the limit of 16 simultaneously living players.
Campaign co-op: up to 16 players.
We tested the campaign with 16 synchronized players at Cairo Station. We fixed action synchronization issues and adapted spawn points to support additional players.
How did we do it?
Through reverse engineering of the MCC version of Halo 2's engine, we tracked down the issues and applied in-memory patches at startup, without modifying the original game files.
To test 24 players on a single PC, we used split-screen: 6 game windows with 4 players each.
I never imagined we'd get this far. What once seemed impossible is now a reality, and this might only be the beginning.

Built by the community, for the community. 💚

Split Screen has arrived for #Halo5Reforged.
I personally wished H5 had this back in the day and I know the whole community to this day wants it.
One of the things most requested.
I know why retail never had it, Xbox One just couldnt handle it. XO just didn’t have the resources to run H5 let alone split screen it.
This was such a pain to get working, but I know the community will appreciate the efforts.
This took me weeks of research and a lot of trial and error, I gave up a few times and eventually had a small breakthrough which led to a bigger one and here we are!

Just had a fantastic kick-off conversation with @Tashi343i talking all things Halo community, giving as much as we possibly can to the fans who've given their time and energy to their favorite franchise. There is so much passion still charged behind the planning of this event, so much love for the Halo family!
The people behind Fest are making some serious magic happen and we couldn't be more stoked to be part of the story. Get excited folks, you've got no idea how much fun this weekend is about to be!
