Better With Friends - A Halo CE Campaign Mod

Description
The fight for Alpha Halo begins, but you won't fight alone. Lead your marines to battle and discover its secrets.


Better With Friends is a campaign mod for Halo Combat Evolved in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The main goal is to allow allies to accompany the player for as much play time as possible while also realistically integrating them into the world and scenarios.


Currently the only levels available are The Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room.


FEATURES
  • Marines accompany the player throughout the missions
  • A high focus on retaining vanilla gameplay
  • Reworked encounters
  • Scripted sequences
  • More friendly and enemy dropships
  • Vehicles driven by AI
  • Custom animations and cutscenes
  • Adjusted scenery and objects
  • Minor balance changes
  • Easter Eggs
  • Secret Legendary endings
  • Minor legacy bug fixes


KNOWN ISSUES
  • Players may experience desync or crashes when playing in coop
  • Marines may have trouble traversing certain areas and/or get stuck in tight spaces or on geometry
  • Vehicles driven by Marines may get stuck or refuse to move if they deviate too much from their intended path or get pushed by the player
  • The Silent Cartographer - After the Bravo 22 encounter the Marines on the hill will often fall off and die when trying to round the first corner on their way down
  • The Silent Cartographer - Enemies during the stealth section may continue patrolling and not do anything even after the player has been spotted
  • Assault on the Control Room - Players may experience a visual glitch consisting of flickering black lines during the Warthog ride section in the first canyon
  • Assault on the Control Room - Marines may sometimes refuse to get into Pelicans and have to be forcibly teleported into their seats

This is the best Vanilla+ mod I've ever played. Doesn't stray too far from Vanilla, but plays so much better. It feels like this should've been in the base game from the start.

Also yes I agree with others that suggest a donation page to add this to all levels.

The extra animations is great, are those done with some kind of rig addon?

well this was cool. I really liked the enviromental story telling and new enemy encounters, sections ect. Unfortunately, I find vanilla game kinda boring at this point. No new weapons, vehicles make it kinda...missing something. I would love some extra human weapons like a battle rifle or the smg. Idk just my opinion, still really impressive work and I think its a well crafted mod thats refreshing from the whole "add literally everything with no restraint or reason."

Precise scripting

How the heck did you get the AI to drive Warthogs without crashing into everything. I remember dabbling with OG Halo Custom Edition years ago and could never quite figure out how to get AI to drive vehicles. Seems like it was just one of those things even the OG devs couldn't figure out at the time.

I love this so much and wish it was the base game

you should add a way for us to donate to you so we can fund you into completing the mod to work for all missions as this mod is awesome and adds sooo much character to all the marines
