It’s safe to presume that there are still some fighting game fans out there who happen to be enjoying all thatJump Forcehas to offer, and they are patiently awaiting the arrival of the title’sfirst batch of DLC. Until then, though, those playing the release on PC can expand the crossover fighter’s playable roster with the addition of unofficial characters thanks to the help of work done by the video game modding community.
As it so happens, the prolific modder known as OniFox recently decided to bringHalo’sMaster Chiefinto the fold, with the Xbox-exclusive first-person shooter franchise’s protagonist now having become an unofficialJump Forcemember. This mod replaces theCity Huntercharacter Ryo Saeba’s entire appearance with that of Master Chief’s, and changes the look of his weaponry as well.
To be specific, thisJump Forcemod includes Master Chief in his design fromHalo 3, and incorporates several pieces of the Spartan’s gear from the Xbox FPS series, including the Magnum, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Brute Shot, Gravity Hammer, and eventhe Warthog. What’s more is that the mod makes the immersion of the character more complete by changing Ryo’s UI to show Master Chief instead.
For those unaware, Master Chief’s addition toJump Forcehasn’t been the only instance of characters being modded into the Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft fighting game thus far. For instance,Shaggy fromScooby Doowas modded into the title not too long ago as a fully voiced and modeled character, replacingDragon Ball Z’s Vegeta.
All things considered, the addition of Master Chief toJump Forcevia modding will likely delight the fighting game’s fan base on PC, for even though it doesn’t technically bring a character with new moves into the fold, it should serve as a means to make the title feel a bit more fresh. So, with both theHaloprotagonist and Shaggy having unofficially graced the fighting game with their presence, it will be interesting to see who the modding community decides to add next.
Jump Forceis available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
