Halo: Reach - Sky on Fire

You are embedded with an infantry company that's been torn to shreds defending the ground entrance of the Caracalla Park resort. The only way out is now burning itself up in the river, and with your back against the wall it won't be long before the Covenant overwhelm your position. Give them hell, and for as long as possible.

-------

This mod is designed to evoke the experience of a pitched battle, with stronger, smarter enemies that will deliver withering fire on you from a distance while other elements try to flank your position. On your own they will brutalize you, but you are not alone. Work with your UNSC Army allies who have fortified the resort, and you may stand a chance.

Aim assist training wheels are gone, and all weapons have been altered to behave more realistically (bullet physics, increased range, etc). Some weapons' mechanics and roles have been greatly altered, as well, and all magazine-fed weapons (with the exception of the Needler and Needle Rifle) are now subject to losing their remaining ammunition when reloaded. Be mindful of this!

This mod was designed for solo play with the AI for support, but can handle multiplayer and Versus with some desync issues. I suggest playing with low starting lives and few or no power weapons in the loadouts, as the map is balanced around its existing power weapon spawns.

CHANGELOG (V0.9.6):

Nothing interesting this time. Just compatibility with the latest MCC update.

Life is busy, and getting back into Halo modding after a year is hard. With the release of the Halo: Reach map .bsp files on the modding Discord, though, I'll next be trying to get around to making those custom sandbag stuctures I've alluded to in previous patchnotes and comments.

Don't expect them soon, but when they come out I expect it will help a lot with the wonkiness that comes when there's too much going on.

KNOWN ISSUES:

This mod pushes right up against the game's resource limit, so there may be hiccups in some circumstances. However, most problems are related to host-client communication in multiplayer matches:

- The various posed bodies on the map may be seen standing by non-host players.

- The weapon racks in the new side room area are only usable by the host.

- Non-host players may sometimes have bugged Wraiths which lack visible mortar sections and crew. They may also see dropped equipment (e.g. jetpacks) which will not appear for other players.

- The Pelicans delivering UNSC reinforcements are sometimes invisible for non-host players, although they will still drop off troops.
