Halo and Minecraft combined into one? Sign me up! Halo Rogue is a new fan-made modpack for Minecraft Java Edition (not Bedrock Edition) that transforms the game into a Halo-inspired survival minigame.

Little fun fact about me, I actually used to stream Minecraft way back in the day, and Halo is still one of my all-time favorite franchises. Despite the past decade largely failing to meet my expectations, at least compared to the Bungie era, I still have a soft spot for the series.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally fine if modern Halo works for you, but for me personally, it has struggled to live up to its earlier highs. Still, today we’re here to discuss something entirely different: Halo Rogue.

I’ll explain exactly what this modpack does. Halo Rogue spawns players in with a preset loadout and just three lives, with each in-game day granting an extra life. If all lives are lost, your run restarts from the beginning, with the main objective being to survive for five days while exploring a world inspired by iconic Halo structures, alongside weapons and enemies like the Covenant and the Flood.

The modpack also changes Minecraft’s gameplay quite drastically. You’re not simply thrown in as a standard Minecraft character; instead, you’re equipped with Master Chief’s iconic Mjolnir armor.

Halo Rogue also features more than 30 Halo weapons, alongside several Halo-themed mods, and can be installed through CurseForge, a popular modding platform used across a wide range of games. However, you will need to import the modpack to CurseForge, so please keep that in mind.

I actually think this is pretty cool, and I’m always a fan of seeing new things done with Halo, even if this is a community project built within Minecraft. Without rambling too much about my own thoughts, let me know what you think about Halo Rogue.
