Bluetooth Xbox controllers work with this as well.
Download size is quite too big for such a short experience, but it's a really well-made one regardless.
I really want to play this but none of the downloads work. Google drive always stops due to a network error, Mega shows a paywall after 5 gigabytes, dropbox says that too many people downloaded the file and the halo creation link takes you to their homepage, not the game download
The Google Drive download link makes me wait 2 hours, then fails due to "network error" just before finishing downloading (I've downloaded it about 6 times through this method now, and it fails at the same time every time). The Mega download link hits me with a paywall after 20 minutes. The Dropbox download link gives a 404 error. The Halo Création download link takes me to its home page. I couldn't download this game even if I wanted to...
Does anyone know the code for the phones? I can't figure it out
Anyone know how to disable the hud?
There is no way to disable just the hud, but there is a blind skull (along with other skulls) hidden in the level.
This was fantastic! It barely ran on my computer but it was worth the low frame-rate with how good this looks. I figured out the secret phone room (nice reference there), got all 5 data pads, and found the black and white skull as well as Acrophobia. Still can’t find the last skull though. Regardless, well done and I can’t wait to see what you do next
cant progress past kikowani station, I get the call and go inside to nothing to so and if I go left or right from the top area where the payphone is I can mantle out of the playable area. Is this because I interacted with the room of payphones?
That’s where it ends I think. The rest of it is just exploring and finding the collectibles
which one is the real name? Dropzone, DropZone, Halo Dropzone or Halo ODST Dropzone? i need to catalog it
Apologies. I would say Halo ODST Dropzone.
thank you!
The secret skull currently infinitely duplicates itself. Enmasse. It also corrupts other interactables (including the secret phone room; Very cheeky, by the way). When all was said and done and having found the final secret with no real achievement to it, I ended up crashing New Mombasa purely with skulls. It was a moment of joy.
Very solid atmosphere and experience, albeit with issues of being stuck on some areas and the secret pads being underwhelming (for self explained reasons). Still, it was a very impressive showcase of what someone can do in Unreal 5, and me and my friends had a blast figuring out the secret and appreciating the atmosphere.
Witness my field of death. Good stuff, Gearshift.
How did you progress past Kikowani station?
Kikowani station is a dead-end, and the last fully explorable area, as far as I could tell. There is no traditional ending I've found, but the secret seems to be the end-goal conclusion since it comes with a nice visual.
Did Google delete it because I'm not getting a quota error I'm getting a this file doesn't even exist error.
Omg so many people trying to download, can't wait for it to be updated tho
To many people are trying to domlaod it so the google drive doesn´t work at this moment anymore.
Looks great can´t wait to test it.
