Back in 2017, we informed you about Halo Custom Edition SPV3.1; a total overhaul mod for the first Halo game on the PC. And today, we are happy to report that, after two whole years, its development team has released a brand new version of it.
Halo: Combat Evolved SPV3.2 comes with improved graphics as it adds support for per-object Motion Blur, animation interpolations in order to smooth out the 30fps animations when playing at higher framerates, Volumetric Lighting and support for MXAO.
As we’ve already reported, SPV3 is not just a graphics overhaul mod as it comes with new weapons, enemies, vehicles, areas to explore and levels, as well as easter eggs and skulls which add new twists onto the gameplay.
Furthermore, and as the team noted, Halo Combat Evolved SPV3.2 brings numerous updates to all 11 prior missions to SPV3, plus 6 new missions to the game.
In other words, this is a must-have mods for all Halo PC fans out there and we strongly suggest downloading it right now.
Below you can find its official release trailer, as well as a video comparison between the game’s original/vanilla 2001 version and the modded 2019 version, and a video showcasing some of the visual improvements that have been implemented in SPV3.2.
Enjoy!

A good mod news for once. Enjoyed SPV3 back then, gotta play this one as well.
damn you! I thought on first sight while scrolling that its article for halo release date!
Fantastic work by the modders.
Totally, it is impressive for sure!
[ side jack ] This mod makes me wonder though… where the heck is the God damn Master Chief Collection for PC!? I am in the insider program and I have not heard anything 🙁 , I thought it be out in July?
Halo hunger intensifying! LOL 🙂
At this point i think i will play the unnoficial Halo 3 campaign (the problem is finding it on the net).
Overdone effects… half way optimized…
Meh.
Yeah if only they added Nier automata skins…
I found this to be the case when I played this a few months back. Impressive stuff graphically, for a mod, but I always found the lighting either too moody and dark or too colorful and saturated.
Wow, very good, excellent work, Mods are Life for the PC Games!!!
Hopefully Microsoft shuts this down soon. Disgusting PC pirates.
Is there a torrent file for this? Mediafire craps out at 150kb/s max.
Full speed,maybe ISP blocking something or try download manager like IDM.
With IDM, it’s now … about 500kb/s *sigh*
But thanks for the help. It IS an improvement 🙂
