Halo: Campaign Evolved is still well over a month away, and sometimes that's just too long to wait. Fortunately, one fan has taken things into their hands. WreckedElk, as they're known online, is recreating the "Silent Cartographer" mission from Halo within — checks notes — Fortnite.

Yep, that's right. Using Unreal Editor for Fortnite, a tool that allows creators to build custom experiences within the game, WreckedElk is recreating the same parts as the anticipated Halo: Combat Evolved remake, complete with cinematics, co-op support, custom HUD elements, voice acting, and more.

The project itself is incredibly ambitious, and in all the right ways. While the full experience isn't available just yet, the developer says it will be released this Summer.

For now, if you want to give it a try, there are currently three missions available:

• Level 1 (Boarding Action): 4188-5631-1827
• Level 2 (Landfall): 0553-6413-5190
• Level 3 (Cover of Night): 2777-9577-3967

Honestly, I'm a huge fan of anything community-made for Halo. As starved as we've been as a fanbase over the years, it's often been the community that has kept the spirit of Halo alive, whether that's through projects like this or the countless mods available for Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

There's certainly no shortage of community-made content to keep Halo fans like me busy while we wait to see what Halo Studios releases next, in this case, Halo: Campaign Evolved. While it's a shame that fans are often left relying on community projects to help fill the gaps, especially for a franchise that has been so underutilized, it's still great to see people putting this much passion and effort into keeping Halo alive.

Even former Bungie developers have spoken about Halo's untapped potential, which makes projects like this all the more impressive. Whether you're interested in custom campaigns, mods, or entirely new experiences, the Halo community continues to prove it's one of the franchise's greatest strengths.

With that said and my thoughts/rant out of the way, let me know your thoughts on this ambitious community project in the comments and by taking part in our poll below:
