Overview:|
Takedown: Project Lawson is a single-player Mod for Halo: Combat Evolved, released in 2015 for PC. This modification centers on custom shooter gameplay across unique environments, utilizing an extended version of the "Danger Canyon" map alongside new custom map sections.

This title is a modification, or "mod," built upon the foundation of the original Halo: Combat Evolved for PC. As a mod, it offers players an entirely new, self-contained experience leveraging the established engine and mechanics of its parent game, providing fresh content for those familiar with the source material. Released in February 2015, this content is exclusively available on Microsoft Windows platforms.
Core Experience and Content Structure
The central focus of this single-player experience revolves around custom map design and narrative presentation. It utilizes an extended version of the established "Danger Canyon" map layout, integrating it with newly created custom map sections (BSPs) to form a unique environment for the player to explore.
A significant feature distinguishing this mod is the inclusion of complete cinematics. These sequences are designed to frame the gameplay, offering a structured narrative or scenario progression that goes beyond standard map objectives found in the base game.
What kind of gameplay situations does it offer?
The design intent behind this modification was to present a variety of distinct gameplay situations within its custom environments. While rooted in the shooter genre established by the parent game, the custom map structure and cinematics suggest a curated sequence of challenges and scenarios rather than open-ended sandbox play.
Platform Availability and Content Scope
This content is available solely on PC (Microsoft Windows). It is important to note that as a standalone modification, it does not feature any officially released downloadable content (DLC) or expansions beyond the initial release package. The experience is self-contained as delivered in 2015.
