ODST: De-rookie-fication | Halo 3 Style Co-op

|||MUST BE RAN IN CO-OP||| ODST CO-OP with less Rookie clones

This mod is meant to be played in co-op, you'll notice no changes in singleplayer

This is a mod that brings Halo 3 style co-op to ODST's campaign, what this actually means is that instead of other players only playing as the Rookie in every scenario, they'll play as the other main characters whenever possible (Buck, Dare etc), similar to how in Halo 3's co-op player 2 plays as the Arbiter and the rest play as elites.

Certain scenarios have been modified to work better with this philosophy, for example the player who plays as Mickey in Kikowani station will pilot the phantom.

Character specific loadouts, dialogue etc work (you also won't hear the main character in your head anymore, you'll hear them from the player playing as them instead).
You'll even hear dialogue lines if you stare at each other long enough, just like you would with NPCs.

Scenario changes:

-sc100 (Tayari plaza), sc110 (Uplift reserve): No change aside from the fact Buck/Dutch's lines will play from their respective players now.
-sc120 (Kizingo boulevard): Player 2 plays as Dutch
-sc130 (ONI Alpha site): Player 2 plays as Mickey
-sc140 (NMPD HQ): Player 2 plays as Buck, player 3 plays as Dutch and player 4 plays as Mickey (after you find them)
-sc150 (Kikowani station): Player 2 plays as Mickey (piloting the phantom), player 3 plays as Dutch and player 4 plays as Romeo (manning the turrets on the phantom).
-l200 (Data hive): Player 2 plays as Dare, player 3 plays as Buck after finding him
-l300 (Coastal highway): Player 2 play as Buck

Certain lines may fail to play in coastal highway due to the game sometimes hiding the player if they're driving an undamaged tank.

Have fun.
