History Funny / HaloCombatEvolved

* Another moment from Keyes: immediately after starting the level, and going through the first door, you see a Grunt running for his life... from an [[IncrediblyLamePun 'armless]] Flood Combat Form, ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' style.

* The ''Videogame/CursedHalo'' mod drastically messes with the game, with the mod's author (who also made a Halo 2 multiplayer mod that recreates ''[[VideoGame/PennAndTellersSmokeAndMirrors Desert Bus]]'' with warthogs) making [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxIjGjMJz0 a video]] showing off some of the effects.

** A character hit with a vehicle will result in a OneHitKill, no matter how tough that character is or how fast the vehicle is traveling. Even a simple nudge can kill. This can lead to hilarious situations such as slightly nudging Hunters with the lightweight Ghost and instantly killing them.

* The cutscene before the level Keyes in the original game was funny; Cortana thinks she's figured out how to Teleport the Chief. She manages to do it, but she mistakes the ceiling of the ship with the floor.

* Before that, when Cortana is reuploaded into the ''Pillar of Autumn's'' computer, she acts like a mom who just came home to the aftermath of a crazy party.

* The mod "Cursed Halo" drastically messes with the game, with the mod's author (who also made a Halo 2 multiplayer mod that recreates ''[[VideoGame/PennAndTellersSmokeAndMirrors Desert Bus]]'' with warthogs) making [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxIjGjMJz0 a video]] showing off some of the effects. Just to give you an idea of some of the changes made:
** The original version of the mod has the following:
*** The pistol has now been reversed, and shooting it actually damages the player; it's instead meant to be ''thrown''. This also means the crazed marine you meet in "343 Guilty Spark" ''instantly shoots himself in the head'' the moment he sees you. And related, Keyes blows his own head off with a reversed pistol in the cutscene that introduces the Flood, meaning his level is locked out in single player.
*** The rocket launcher fires backwards. Better practice those 180 quickscopes!
*** Rather than mess with the shotgun, said weapon was removed and replaced with a Blunderbuss, which looks like a longer-barreled muzzle-loader version of the shotgun and has insane push and recoil - making it possible to Blunderbuss Jump.
*** The sniper rifle's scope has been drastically nerfed (only 1x zoom), and the barrel is now flaccid - and it is ''exactly'' as accurate as you would expect it to be, complete with cartoony ''boing!'' sound effects whenever its fired.
*** The Frag Grenade is replaced with a D20 Frag Grenade. In multiplayer, it merely deals damage based on what number it rolls. In ''Single Player'', however, throwing it will cause random effects, such as planting trees, spawning a pile of hunters, summoning a nigh-invincible Rick-rolling Master Chief decoy, and conjuring either a picture of a very muscular [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Riku]] or a rather... NSFW image of ComicBook/{{Thanos}}, to say the least. Here's a tip: If {{Music/ABBA}} starts playing, something ''extra cursed'' is about to happen.
*** Several different Warthogs have been added to the game - a normal size one that can ''fly'', a 4-seater (the Warthog Sedan), a ''6-seater'' (the Warthog Limo or "Abomination"), and a miniature one (comparable in size to one of those 12v toy cars that seats 1 kid). Before you ask, he actually doesn't know if it's possible to mod a Warthog longer than 3 rows of seats, since he stopped himself before getting to that point. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re4VWoTrAuQ He then decided to find out exactly how long one can make a Warthog.]] The results were something that has to be seen.
*** The Plasma Grenade, renamed to Plasma [[{{Hentai}} Bukkake]] in the mod, is no longer only useful for causing chain reactions - rather, it ''is'' a chain reaction, splitting into multiple Plasma Grenades.
*** The Ghost-I'm sorry, the [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Speen]] now spins like a TabletopGame/{{Beyblade}} when you fire their plasma machine guns.
*** Banshee wings now flap when flying.
*** ''Halo 2'' introduced dual-wielding of many weapons, such as the Plasma Rifle. ''Cursed Halo'' adds a Plasma Rifle variant that you ''triple-wield'', which results in you spawning 2 extra arms - 1 to carry a third Plasma Rifle, and another for melee attacks and throwing grenades. Another variant is "bit-crushed" with simplified sprite animations and down-sampled sound effects, making it look as if it came straight out of the ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' games.
*** The Fuel Rod Gun is now the almighty [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Quad Laser]]! The Projectile is Enormous. There is no escaping!
*** One of the items in multiplayer and a drop from the single player [=D20s=] is a bottle of NAU which happens to be [[ProductPlacement the video's sponsor]]. Drinking it will restore you to full health while drinking it with full health grants you an overshield.
*** The Flamethrower is now [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine FLUDD]]. You can even kill yourself from fall damage after using the rocket nozzle!
*** Even the multiplayer maps are appropriately cursed beyond belief. Death Island is shrunken down which oddly enough makes it more fun with less players, Battle Creak is much bigger to the point that vehicles are now possible, the iconic Blood Gulch is heavily distorted, Wizard has the Source engine dev textures and a "missing" skybox because [=InfernoPlus=] "forgot to install ''VideoGame/CounterStrike: Source''.", Derelict is just a "[[GeniusBonus normal map]]". Most amazing is Sidewinder which is recreated entirely in the style of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' which, in a weird twist, is actually more complex than the base map itself, requiring careful portal-plane (areas which determines what areas to render to reduce GPU load) usage in order to keep the game engine from throwing a fit.
** Then a few years later, he made a stream-safe version of the mod called "Super-Cursed Halo: Undefined Edition", which removed certain stream-breaking elements like [[FullFrontalAssault Thanos]], but upped the jank and depravity.
*** He added a "Detexturizer" Plasma Rifle, which shoots plasma bolts that ''remove game textures''. Any Jackals that have it have texture-less shields.
*** Several Tool Guns from ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' were added, each with different effects, specified by the little screen. One causes the D20 frag grenade random effects, one just despawns assets (and can softlock the game), one outright crashes the game when fired, one that attaches a thruster to whatever it hits and can send enemies into the stratosphere, ones that fling vehicles at high speed where fired... Also, grunts can spawn with these tool guns.
*** He added a "Golden Shower" Plasma Pistol, which shoots urine complete with arc physics. All grunts carrying this pistol are yellow, and their AI has been adjusted accordingly.
*** The flashlight is now RGB.
*** Dual-wielded pistols have been added. Considering it's a Halo CE pistol, this is as broken as it sounds like.
*** Stationary Covenant Turrets now come in "lightweight" models, which means they can be bopped around the map for collision damage. If something is attached to a thruster climbs on, it can be steered.
*** There is now a laggy Sniper Rifle that pauses for half a second (complete with a "loading..." circle on screen) before it fires.
*** Expanded D20 Frag Grenade effects, including spawning the above tool guns, ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' TNT, launching a rocket into a random direction, and other random effects.

* During the intro cutscene of ''The Two Betrayals'' we get Cortana's enraged entry upon throwing Guilty Spark's [[KillEmAll "procedure"]] off the rails.

* when you've returned to the Pillar of Autumn and go through the dark vents again, just outside your exit is a battle between Covenant and Flood. But because of the narrow doorway, you can mostly only see the bullets and grenades flying back and forth, and hear the [=NPCs=]' reactions offscreen, turning an otherwise-ordinary battle into hilarity.
* Shooting at 343 Guilty Spark in The Library in will generate a variety of responses, the best being "Stop being human!"

*** "Mmm hmm. Damn right I am! Now move it out, double time!"

*** "Mmm hmm. Damn right I am!"
** FromACertainPointOfView, Halo ''is'' God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine.

--->'''Cortana:''' Oh ''now'' I see, the coordinate data needs to be- ''(Chief baps the side of his helmet)'' Right...Sorry?
