Spasm - Chromatic Carnage

Introducing the mod that turns Halo's recently-unearthed "Spasm" map into a vibrant symphony of AI chaos: Chromatic Carnage! Get ready to dive into the multicolored maelstrom of war as four factions of confused but fervent AI battle it out for supremacy.

In "Chromatic Carnage," you'll find yourself in the boots of a marine who's seen it all, from the frontlines to the mess hall. But here's the twist: you're not just fighting alongside your trusty fellow marines. Nope, you're joined by a motley crew of Covenant allies who seem just as puzzled as you are about how this all came together. Sure, the species divide has been replaced with warring team colors, but hey, war makes strange bedfellows, right?

The mod's factions are color-coded. Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow teams each comprise both Marines and Covenant warriors, united in their shared confusion about how this technicolor battleground even came to be. Some say it was an experimental paint grenade gone awry; others whisper it's a sophisticated game of space-themed capture the flag. Either way, the results are nothing short of entertaining.

Red and Blue teams start with vehicles that are up for grabs by anyone brave enough to commandeer them. But don't underestimate the resourcefulness of the Yellows and Greens; if you leave a vehicle unattended, they'll gleefully hop in and zoom off into the fray. Elites, Grunts, and even Hunters have somehow figured out the delicate art of human vehicle operation. AI allies and foes alike reappear at random intervals ranging from instantaneous rebirths to two minutes of strategic waiting. So gear up, marine, and prepare to add a splash of color to the battlefield!

KNOWN BUGS:

The playable marine biped's run animations might bug out if you take too much damage. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this, but thankfully it doesn't happen very often

Vehicles might glitch out unless you play the map with vehicle respawns set to "never"

If a sword-wielding elite gets ejected from a vehicle, he'll be left weaponless and aggressively I-posing.

Minigunner Cyborgs have a hard time aiming over long distances

Grunts can still cower while driving vehicles, including warthogs and tanks
