The Halo series has had so many legendary vehicles that itâs a wonder we havenât seen an official racing spin-off by now (no, that Forza Warthog doesnât count). While players have created no shortage of Forge-crafted mini-games focused on vehicle hijinks, one brave modder has finally given us what we all needed: a full-on kart-racing experience filled with classic Halo characters, weapons, and the most adorable little Warthogs youâve ever seen.
Haloâs PC modding scene has a storied tradition of unique multiplayer maps, expansive campaigns both new and familiar, and silly mods that serve no function other than to put a smile on your face. âCursed Haloâ is one of those very wacky experiences. In its original form it offered up droopy sniper rifles, absurd multi-passenger Warthogs, Minecraft environments, and other shenanigans. Itâs been updated over the years, adding more droopy guns and even karate moves. But now, modder InfernoPlusâ âCursed Halo Againâ arrives with inspiration from another beloved game: Crash Teaâsorry, Mario Kart. Check out its new âHalo Kartâ mode in action courtesy of the internetâs very own Halo daredevil, MintBlitz:
As goofy as the concept is, you have to admit this actually looks like a pretty awesome game on its own. The varying weapons (see that blue shell?), classic Combat Evolved physics, Halo characters like Jackals, Elites, and Captain Keys as your competition make for some neat twists and turns. I could see this extending beyond the status of novelty. And I also really like the ability to actually get out of the vehicle and mess around with other drivers. The modâs âHalo Kartâ mode includes a couple different maps pulled directly from the Mario Kart games, so that ought to make for a couple of hours of nonsensical fun.
