Operation: Fleetcom arrives on July 30, and it is bringing in new modes such as VIP, highly requested features in Forge such as music and Steitzer’s VO, and numerous other quality of life updates. To go along with those features and content additions, we’ll also be updating the gameplay experience with balance updates based on player data and community feedback.

This week, we sat down with the development team to talk about the weapons, legendary weapon variants, grenades, and vehicles that are getting improvements in Halo Infinite’s multiplayer when Operation: Fleetcom lands.

Let’s hear what they have to say about the update!

---

Return of the king! The Disruptor’s damage-over-time effect (DoT) is back. When it previously had the damage over time effect, it would only require 3 shots to trigger and it would linger for a long period of time. Now, the shock pistol will require 4 shots to land on their target in order to trigger a supercombine and its resulting damage over time. If a player is able to string together two of these supercombines, they will have put enough damage on their opponent to secure a kill. A few other updates also have come in alongside this to help improve the feel of the gun when using it and when getting hit by it, and we’re excited to see it back in action.

• Damage over time returns
  
• 8 shots to kill (2 supercombines)
  
• Removed particle effect from (Event) 1p_loop
  
• Adjusted particle screen effect to be less intrusive
  
• Damage upper bound (high) decreased 70 >> 35
  
• DOT damage will not continuously cause descope

We wanted to address some feedback about the Bandit’s damage per second and effect on the overall pace of play. The main change is we slowed down the rounds per second to give players more time to react amidst combat instead of being quickly eliminated before they could react.

We feel this is a healthy change that will improve the meta in both social and Ranked play.

• Slower rate of fire to address community feedback around time-to-kill
  
  • Rounds per second (low & high) 2.9 >> 2.715
• Improvement to red reticle headshot accuracy

To improve the Sentinel Beam’s consistently, we wanted to revise some of the complexity regarding the damage output. The Sentinel Beam will do the same amount of damage no matter the range you are between you and your opponent. Coupled with that, we have disabled headshot capabilities with this weapon as it was adding too many variables to the damage scaling.

Now, the Sentinel Beam should feel more consistent while dealing a clear, readable amount of damage for the player using it.

• Improve the feel of the Sentinel Beam by tuning its damage output to be more consistent
  
• Increased base damage
  
• Removed damage fall off
  
  • Increased damage lower bound 0 >> 3.5
    
  • Decreased damage upper bound (low & high) 4 >> 3.5
• Removed headshot multiplier
  
  • Disabled feature flag “can cause headshot”
    
  • Decreased headshot damage multiplier 2 >> 0

To help bring the Ravager some more attention, we’ve given its primary fire an increase in damage.

Previously, the Ravager needed to hit 6 shots from its burst-fire barrage to secure a kill, which could kill in 2 bursts but often required at least 3 bursts on a moving target. Now, the Ravager will only require 5 direct shots to kill, which should result in more consistent 2 burst kills. You won’t want to sleep on this weapon anymore.

• Slight buff (5 shots instead of 6)
  
  • Increased damage lower bound 20 >> 30
    
  • Increased damage upper bound (low & high) 20 >> 30

We wanted to help improve the reliability and feel of the MA40 AR. Previously, when using the MA40 AR at full-auto, the reticle would get bigger and the bullet spread would expand—resulting in the normal “bloom” behavior. However, when the AR reached its maximum bloom state, the bullets were trending only to the edges of that bloomed reticle. This meant that there could be times the weapon would be shooting around the opponent, as the bullets would not land closer to the center of the reticle.

Now, to help improve the feel of the AR, bullets will land anywhere inside the reticle—increasing the chance that a player with accurate aim will secure their kill. This change has resulted in a more consistent handling experience of the AR.

• Adjusted Assault Rifle error angles to give a more consistent feel
  
  • Minimum error angle (high) 0 >> 0.25
    
  • Maximum error angle (low) 0 >> 0.25
    
  • Maximum error angle (high) 2.1 >> 1.3

The Skewer packs a heavy punch, but we commonly see a “one and done” scenario. To address this, we’ve increased reload speed to give players more opportunity to fire off multiple shots amidst combat.

• Faster reload speed
  
  • Reload playback speed scale 1 >> 1.2
    
  • Reload while empty playback speed scale 1 >> 1.2

To address some inconsistencies with close range SPNKr explosions leaving players with a sliver of health, we’ve adjusted the weapon’s damage fall off curve. This is to better reward players for more accurate SPNKr explosions around enemies. To compensate for this change, we’ve brought in the outer damage radius. We also wanted to increase the ammo reserve to match legacy titles, and help reward players who are able to earn or scavenge for more ammo on the battlefield.

• Damage fall-off feels more consistent
  
  • Adjusted fall off function so players are not left with a sliver of health
• Outer damage radius adjusted
  
  • Lowered radius high 3 >> 2.5
• Increased max reserve ammo
  
  • Rounds total maximum 6 >> 8

Similar to the SPNKr above, we also wanted to increase the S7’s ammo reserve to match previous Halo titles. We believe this rewards players who are able to earn that ammo on the battlefield by increasing their ability to go on a sniper spree.

• Increased max reserve ammo
  
• Rounds total maximum 20 >> 24

We noticed that only being able to backpack 14 shots in reserve was a bit limiting at times, especially in Infection modes. To help improve the scavenging story of the Bulldog, we’ve increased its ammo reserves to reward players who are able locate more shells while fighting for survival.

• Increased max reserve ammo
  
  • Rounds total maximum 21 >> 28

Brute Ravager?! The changes to its primary fire were inspired by the beloved Brute Shot from previous Halo games. We wanted to improve the Ravager Rebound’s effectiveness while creating a new, and somewhat relatable, experience for our players.

Additionally, the charged-up shot has also gotten a significant utility increase. Its pool of damage will now deal more damage. And, if it hits an opponent directly, it will result in an instakill.

Expect the Ravager Rebound to be more reliable and efficient compared to its previous iteration. Consider yourself warned!

• Primary fire will now explode on direct player impact or bounce off geo and explode
  
  • Round per second 2.1 >> 3
    
  • Fire recovery time 0.4761905 >> 0.25
    
  • Empty recovery time- 0.4761905 >> 0.25
    
  • Damage lower bound 130 >>100
    
  • Damage upper bound 130 >>100
• Primary fire will now fire 1 projectile
  
  • Added firing param to change shots per fire
    
  • Shots per fire 3>>1
• Charged up shot will instakill on a direct hit
  
  • Damage lower bound 20 >> 300
    
  • Damage upper bound 45,45 >> 300,300
• Increased the damage of charged shot’s AoE
  
  • Radius 0,0 >> 0.3, 0.95
    
  • AoE core radius 0 >> 0.3
• Added impulse to primary fire damage effect
  
  • Instantaneous acceleration 2.9 >> 1.25

We wanted to improve player accuracy with this weapon as we have seen the Impact Commando not be as consistent when bloom is in full effect. The bloom has been reduced to give you more consistent aiming and damage output capabilities.

• Reduced bloom
  
  • Lower bound deceleration time 28 >> 0.2146
    
  • Upper bound deceleration time 28 >> 0.2152
• Adjusted Impact Commando Rifle’s aim down sight transition time
  
  • Ads state enabled fraction 0 >> 0.3
    
  • Tc transition in fraction 0.8,1 >> 0.5,1
    
  • Ads scope swap transition fraction 0 >> 1
    
  • Magnification 1.4 >> 2
• Magnification profile setting 1.4 >> 2.5

The goal for this change was to freshen up the shooting style for the Riven Mangler, as it was starting to feel a bit sluggish. With a now faster rate of fire, expect to output more damage per second leaving your enemies in the respawn screen.

• Increased rate of fire
  
  • Rounds per second 30 >> 2.0875
    
  • Fire recovery time 0.75 >> 0.3
    
  • Empty recovery time 0.75 >> 0.3
    
  • Soft recovery fraction 0.35 >> 0.4
• Reduced gun kick
  
  • View kick deceleration timer 0>>.45
• Faster clean up on projectile effect
  
  • Det timer 3 >> 1

Better accuracy was the main goal for this change, which now the Volatile Skewer has the same projectile path as the default Skewer. Also, we wanted to reduce any clunkiness with reload speed, so you spend more time firing the weapon than anxiously awaiting that reload to finish.

• Trajectory now matches the default Skewer
  
  • Air Gravity Scale 3.25 >> 2.125
    
  • Initial Velocity 90 >> 120
• Increased reload speed
  
  • Reload playback speed modifier 0.1 >> 0.3
    
  • Reload while empty playback speed modifier 0.1 >> 0.3
• Increased damage
  
  • Damage upper bound – [190,190] >>> [280,280]

More damage equals more fun! The Ultra Stalker Rifle now will deliver that fulfilling Perfect Kill medal in 3 shots, in order to match its base version. We also wanted to address the feedback around the weapon sometimes jamming, which should happen less frequently with the new boost in rate of fire.

• 3 shots to kill instead of 4 shots to kill
  
  • Headshot damage multiplier 3.25 >> 3.5
    
  • Damage lower bound 53 >> 80
    
  • Damage upper bound 53,53 >> 80,80
• Increased rate of fire (address jamming concerns)
  
  • Fire recovery time 0.265 >> 0.25
    
  • Empty recovery time 0.265 >> 0.25
• Adjusted aim down site transition time
  
  • Tc transition in fraction 0.2,.2 >> 0.6,1
    
  • Magnification 1.5 >> 3
    
  • Magnification profile setting 1_4 >> 3_0
    
  • Zoom transition time 0 >> 0.2

This is not your ordinary Plasma Pistol, it’s Unbound! The Unbound Plasma Pistol now fires 3 projectiles per primary trigger pull. To better align weapon behavior, we’ve also increased heat resistance to increase the duration to overheat. And, we’re happy to hear how much you love the EMP behavior on the default Plasma Pistol, so we made sure to add that here as well.

• Primary fire now shoots 3 projectiles
  
  • Shots per fire [1,1] >>> [3,3]
    
  • Fire recovery time 0.1 >>> 0.03333334
    
  • Empty recovering time 0.1 >>> 0.03333334
    
  • Soft recovery fraction 0.6 >>> 0
• Primary fire is now more accurate
  
  • Guided angular velocity random range [5, 15] >>> [150, 150]
    
  • Guided angular velocity at rest 15 >>> 40
• Increased heat resistance
  
  • Heat loss per second modifier 0 >>> 3.75
• Charged shot now EMPs
  
  • Side effect changed from none >> emp
    
  • Enabled feature flag “use EMP behavior”
• Charged shot slightly slower but is more accurate
  
  • Initial velocity 40 >>> 30
    
  • Final velocity 40 >>> 30
    
  • Guided angular velocity random range [0, 0] >>> [250, 250]
    
  • Guided angular velocity at rest 0 >>> 80
• Charged shot now shoots 8 projectiles
  
  • Projectiles per shot 6 >>> 8

The Flexfire Sniper’s ready up time was feeling a tad too lengthy. To address this, we’ve sped up the initial playback speed. So, whether you pick it up off a pad or from the ground, you will be able to line up and fire faster than before.

• Added animation modifier block element to barrel configuration
  
• Increased ready initial playback modifier 0.3%

“I believe I can fly!”

The impulse for Fragmentation, Plasma, and Spike grenade physics has been increased and tuned to give you increased jump height and provide more opportunity to hit those coveted grenade jumps. Also, a feature has been added that if your spartan is grounded, you will not be impacted by the impulse.

We can’t wait to see you all reach new heights.

• Added impulse to frag grenade damage effect
  
  • Instantaneous acceleration increased 1.75 >> 3.5
    
  • Grounded player acceleration scalar decreased 1 >> 0.1

• Added impulse to plasma grenade damage effect
  
  • Instantaneous acceleration 2.15 >> 3.75
    
  • Grounded player acceleration scalar 1 >> 0.1

• Added impulse to spike grenade aoe damage effect
  
  • Instantaneous acceleration 1.25 >> 3.25
    
  • Alt instantaneous acceleration 2.75 >> 3.75
    
  • Grounded player acceleration scalar 1 >> 0.1

The Ghost has been seen performing quite well and sometimes to degree of feeling a bit too powerful. To address this feedback, we’ve slightly lowered the health of each of the wings so players can more easily destroy and thus hinder the Ghost’s movement. Also, we’ve done some work to the Ghost’s reversal speed and lateral movement in hopes to keep Ghost play more in check.

• Lowered health for left and right wing of Ghost
  
  • Right_wing and Left_wing: Maximum vitality percentage base value decreased 0.085 >> 0.075
• Decrease to Ghost’s reverse speed
  
  • Maximum reverse speed decreased 5.5 >> 3.5
• Slowing down the Ghost’s lateral movement
  
  • Maximum left slide decreased 5.5 >> 4.5
    
  • Maximum right slide decreased 5.5 >> 4.5
    
  • Slide accel against direction decreased 10 >> 5

We want to bring the Banshee back into the spotlight with this update. One of the ways we wanted to do this was by reducing how much damage the Banshees take when scraping and colliding with surfaces. We’ve adjusted both weapons from the Banshee in hopes to see more kills from the sky. Then, to help add to its dogfighting potential, we fine-tuned its left and right roll capabilities.

• Moving forward
  
  • Minimum velocity for game damage 2.88 >> 11.52
    
  • Minimum velocity for absolute damage 2.88 >> 11.52
• Using boost
  
  • Minimum velocity for game damage 2.88 >> 14.4
    
  • Minimum velocity for absolute damage 2.88 >> 14.4
• Increasing damage for Banshee’s dual cannon gun
  
  • Damage lower bound 29 >>40
    
  • Damage upper bound (low & high) 29 >>40
• Faster fire recovery time for the Banshee bomb launcher
  
  • Fire recovery time 3.25 >> 2 seconds
• Increased projectile velocity of Banshee bomb launcher
  
  • Initial velocity 15 >> 20
    
  • Final velocity 12 >> 17
• Adjustments made to Banshee tricks, roll_left & roll_right
  
  • Velocity preservation changed trick relative > world relative
    
  • Camera interpolation time 0 >> 0.4 seconds
    
  • Trick exit displacement reference 0.5wu >> 0wu

That’s a wrap for this preview of the sandbox updates coming to Halo Infinite next week, July 30!

We’re excited to see you all go hands-on with these changes when they roll out alongside Operation: Fleetcom. And, as always, please continue to share your thoughts around the sandbox with us online. We’re always keeping a close eye on community feedback and player data to see how we can improve the experience for everyone.

To learn more about Operation: Fleetcom, check out our other blogs:

• New Mode – VIP: Learn more about Halo Infinite’s new take on VIP mode from Halo 3.
  
• Forge Updates: Music, Multiplayer Announcer, Nav Marker improvements, and more!

Halo Infinite’s next content update and Operation arrives on July 30, and we’ve got a veritable treat for all you Forgers out there who are looking to enhance your creations with additional authentic details—from the unforgettable voice of Jeff Steitzer to the implementation of music, additional nodes for scripting, and much more!

---

Unfrigginbelievable!

The beloved voice of Halo’s multiplayer announcer, Jeff Steitzer, has come to Halo Infinite’s Forge.

With the arrival of the next content update, players will have access to over 1,000 of Jeff Steitzer’s voice lines in Forge. Implementing these into your modes and experiences will add just that extra layer of authenticity, immersing you further into custom experiences that will feel like they’re dev-made—or perhaps you just want to have fun with these lines being at your disposal and go for maximum silliness!

The breadth of lines being added is quite vast—from existing Halo Infinite modes, to Medals, to game state, to experiences we expect players may want to create in Forge (such as Race, Grifball, Regicide, etc.). You may even find a few wacky lines from the recording booth that felt like they’d be fun to include, like “Extra Crispy!”

And, to allow maximum control with this new feature, you can also ensure that only the intended players or team will hear each line set up in Forge’s nodegraph:

• Play Announcer Voiceover for All Players
  
• Play Announcer Voiceover for Player
  
• Play Announcer Voiceover for Team

Find this new functionality alongside the new “Announcer Voice” custom game option (found under Match) to adjust mode communication. Do you want to increase the presence of announcer-based voice lines, or perhaps limit them to just Medals—or remove it entirely for more immersive campaign-style experiences? This is where you’ve got complete control to get it exactly how you want it.

As Forge has continued to expand in Halo Infinite, with entire campaign-style missions being (re)created by our unbelievably talented cartographers in the community, we’ve heard your desires to be able to implement music into these experiences.

Well, when you jump into Forge after the new update lands, you will find that the soundtrack from Halo Infinite’s campaign has been added with a variety of situational nodes that will help enhance your Forge creations.

To provide as much control as possible, we brought the system over exactly as it was implemented in the campaign, allowing Forgers to use scripting to plug into the same tools used by our Audio Team.

The tracks are divided into different themes, listed under audio containers. For example, you may wish to implement some Banished-themed music listed under “Banished Ambient Set A” to instill a feeling of dread, or a heroic theme for when the action picks up under “Heroic Combat Set B.” These audio containers contain a variety of different tracks that create the same mood but randomize which track plays, ensuring that the music doesn’t feel repetitive.

Try ‘em out and see what atmospheric textures you can lend to your maps and experiences!

The total list of music themes include:

• Banished
  
• The Endless
  
• Forerunner
  
• Monitor
  
• Covenant
  
• UNSC
  
• Heroic
  
• Special
  
• 8-Bit

To ensure granular control of music, the nodes have been built in with audience control in mind:

• Play Music Track for All Players
  
• Play Music Track for Player
  
• Play Music Track for Team
  
• Stop Music Track for All Players
  
• Stop Music Track for Player
  
• Stop Music Track for Team

And yes, the iconic Monk Chant and Warthog Run music will be included when this functionality arrives in Forge next week.

Nav markers, we’d be lost without ‘em!

Nav markers are UI elements that help with player “readability” for different modes. How do you know the enemy has your flag? Nav markers. How will you be able to tell that a nearby enemy has dropped skulls in the Headhunter mode? You guessed it: nav markers!

We’re giving players an unprecedented level of control over this feature to help further refine modes and experiences to help them feel more authentic. If you’re creating a Headhunter experience and you want to let players know that an enemy nearby has dropped skulls, but you don’t want to overload players’ HUDs with markers if another player was eliminated on the other side of the map, you will be able to have that level of granular control.

• Nav Marker [Global] – This will create or get a Nav Marker from a global context. This will allow Nav Markers to be modified across script brains. The existing Nav Marker node will only access markers local to the script brain.
  
• Negate Nav Marker Player Base Filter – Negates the filters applied to a Nav Marker using the Set Base Filter Player’s Visibility. Players that were designated to pass the filter will no longer pass. And vice versa.
  
• Negate Nav Marker Player Distance Filter – Negates the filters applied to a Nav Marker using the Set Distance Filter Player’s Visibility. Players that were designated to pass the filter will no longer pass. And vice versa.
  
• Negate Nav Marker Team Base Filter – Negates the filters applied to a Nav Marker using the Set Base Filter Team’s Visibility. Teams that were designated to pass the filter will no longer pass. And vice versa.
  
• Negate Nav Marker Team Distance Filter – Negates the filters applied to a Nav Marker using the Set Distance Filter Team’s Visibility. Teams that were designated to pass the filter will no longer pass. And vice versa.
  
• Set Base Filter Player’s Visibility – Using this node, you can control the visibility of Nav Marker’s for each individual player in the game. Input the Nav Marker and Player and decide if they should pass the visibility filter or not.
  
• Set Base Filter Team’s Visibility – Using this node, you can control the visibility of Nav Marker’s for each team individually. Input the Nav Marker and Team and decide if they should pass the visibility filter or not.
  
• Set Distance Filter Player’s Parameters – This node will define the distance at which a player can see a nav marker. Use this node alongside Set Distance Filter Player’s Visibility to enable for a player.
  
• Set Distance Filter Player’s Visibility – This node will enable controlling the visibility of a nav marker by distance for individual players. The distances used are define by the Set Distance Filter Player’s Parameters
  
• Set Distance Filter Team’s Visibility – This node will enable controlling the visibility of a nav marker by distance for teams. The distances used are define by the Set Distance Filter Team Parameters
  
• Set Distance Filter Team’s Parameters – This node will define the distance at which a player can see a nav marker. Use this node alongside Set Distance Filter Team’s Visibility to enable for a player.
  
• Clear Nav Marker Distance Filters – Clears all distance based visibility data on a given nav marker. Use this when you want to reset distance settings and apply new settings.
  
• Clear Nav Marker Base Filters – Clears all visibility data on a given nav marker. Use this when you want to reset distance settings and apply new settings.
  
• Set Nav Marker Icon – Set the icon for the default presentation type on nav markers. The new icons are as follows:
  
  • Active Camo
    
  • Alpha
    
  • Attack
    
  • Bomb
    
  • Boss
    
  • Bravo
    
  • Charlie
    
  • Dead
    
  • Defend
    
  • Delta
    
  • Destroyed
    
  • Echo
    
  • Equipment
    
  • Flag
    
  • Foxtrot
    
  • Generic
    
  • Generic Arrow
    
  • Grenade
    
  • Hacking Terminal
    
  • Kill
    
  • KOTH
    
  • Oddball
    
  • Overshield
    
  • Power Seed
    
  • Quantum Translocator
    
  • Vehicle
    
  • Weapon
• Set Nav Marker Progress – Set the nav markers progress bar for the default nav marker presentation type.
  
• Set Nav Marker Progress Team – Set the team for the nav marker progress bar.
  
• Set Nav Marker Type – Set the nav marker presentation type. This will change how the marker presents itself in the game. Some nav marker functionality is only applicable to the default nav marker type. The new types are as follows:
  
  • Multiplayer Objective
    
  • Enemy
    
  • Ally
    
  • Acquiring
    
  • Locked
    
  • Item
    
  • Generic Objective
    
  • Waypoint
    
  • Ally pulse
    
  • Neutral
    
  • Coop
    
  • Arrow
    
  • Enemy callout
    
  • Item pad
    
  • Location
• Set Nav Marker Message – Takes input from a Create UI Message node and applies it to a nav marker. This significantly increases the kinds of phrases that can be communicated with nav markers.

Before, players were able to string together only a single word which could make UI messages unclear or confusing—particularly for more complex custom modes. We heard your feedback and we’re giving you greater control over this feature. Communication is key!

---

As you build new experiences in Forge, you may want to provide players with information in text strings that appear in the heads-up-display—things like objectives, instructions for custom minigames, and so on.

We’ve added new strings which will give you access to over 600 new words and phrases, and there is a new template node for creating messages in Forge titled “Create UI Message.” This particular node expands on the Create UI Message [A] and Create UI Message nodes by accepting 3 strings as inputs.

As noted in the previous section, this should help to reduce ambiguity and uncertainty about what to do and how to do it in custom-made modes. In addressing this major request from community feedback, players are now able to combine many different words in many different ways, as you can see in the list below:

• “[String 1] [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1] [String 2]: [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1]: [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1] the [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1] at [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1] while [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1] during [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “You [String 1] [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “Enemy [String 1] [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “Your team [String 1] [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “Enemy team [String 1] [String 2] [String 3]”
  
• “[String 1]: [String 2]”

---

VIP Mode Nodes

Originally introduced in Halo 3, VIP is coming to Halo Infinite. In this mode, each team has a player that is designated as the VIP—the objective is to eliminate the other team’s VIP while defending your own.

New nodes have been added to Forge for the VIP mode and can be used to enhance or modify the mode’s functionality.

Nodes include:

• Get Is VIP – Input a player, and return if they are currently the VIP on their team.
  
• Set VIP – Set the VIP of a team.
  
• Clear Team VIP – Clear the VIP of any given team.
  
• On New VIP – Event node indicating that a new VIP has been selected.
  
• On VIP Killed – Event node indicating that a VIP has been killed.

Note: Use these nodes in conjunction with the Automatic VIP Selection Enabled custom game option in VIP to have full control over VIP selection.

---

Additional Awesomeness

Alongside all of the above, we’ve got some additional improvements coming to Forge through nodegraph scripting that will help to enhance your creations.

New Name Locations

With this update, over 500 name location volumes have been added to Forge. These name locations come from all corners of the game and will help Forgers control callouts on their maps with increased accuracy and granularity.

Armor Effects

You can now apply the mode-related armor effects from Infection and VIP to highlight or distinguish a player, as well as choose if the effect persists through respawning or if it disappears upon death.

Activate Spartan Tracking

Y’know at the end of a round in Halo Infinite’s Firefight where you will automatically send out a ping to locate any nearby weapons, vehicles, and equipment items? This has been added to the nodegraph, allowing the Forge to trigger an environment scan whenever they want in their mode.

Apply/Get Player Overshield

Also inspired by Firefight, players who are revived (and the player who did the reviving) are granted an overshield. This has also been added to the nodegraph.

Minigame Variants

We have added more variants so that players can script around them. For example, you may wish to create a BTB One-Flag minigame which features Pelican and weapon drops.

Minigame Modes

• Minigame Asymmetrical
  
• Minigame BTB Asymmetrical
  
• Minigame Competitive
  
• Minigame Competitive Asymmetrical
