This is Halo SPV3.2, a massive overhaul/remaster mod for Halo: Custom Edition, with OpenAL Soft's HRTF through DSOAL. It takes features from later in the series and backports them into the first game with expanded levels, a remade "Assault on the Control Room", and a new-for-2019 Lumoria campaign (shown in footage) with 2 massive levels and a short boss fight. While I do admire the developer's dedication to their work, I can't say I approve of all their decisions. They went overboard with the enemy placement, going as far as putting multiple Brutes into "The Pillar of Autumn". The new areas they inserted stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the pacing, especially in "Halo". Worst of all is the performance. The ancient, single-threaded Halo Engine just wasn't meant for something this big, so expect massive framerate drops unless you have an overclocked Intel i9 CPU.

Thanks to input from subscriber "SomeGuy", DSOAL was actually natively packaged with this latest release!
