- The maps 'The Arbiter', 'The Oracle', 'Delta Halo', and 'Regret' use a unique spawning method for AI.
Thanks to TheVengeful'Vadam for helping me learn how multiply AI count for these four troublesome maps and to Jervalin for reaching out.

@orangastand - Not a script fortunately. It is a character health tag iirc.
orangastang 13 Sep @ 8:22pm 
How'd you give Tartarus more health? Is it in the scenario script?

@MrPinkAdventures - I am not talking about your opinions, but rather you not finding what you are wanting.

I did not want to make it at first, but we couldn't find anything that fit what we wanted after a few years....

Halo XL series was made for old Halo buddies where we wanted to fight far more AI while also having them behave more intelligently without needing to play with Mythic and other skulls. Preserving the story, level layout, spawns, and weapon feel was essential.

You should expand/detail your complaints:

"I just think the way in which these engagements are usually tackled is done poorly. People merely increase the numbers and that's it with no real thought to location, immersion etc."

What is immersion to you? That can mean different things to people playing a video game.

I highly encourage anyone to make a Halo mod in this situation!

@Shadowed - Wrong! I am allowed to have opinions as we so politely addressed.
I think people like you are onto something providing larger engagements I just think the way in which these engagements are usually tackled is done poorly. People merely increase the numbers and that's it with no real thought to location, immersion etc.

H2 With Sprinkles had something special but the modder ruined what was already good by reducing our numbers increasing their numbers and for some odd reason increasing the enemies health values to ridiculous heights. Even on the lowest settings grunts were face tanking a scorpion round to the face.

@MrPinkAdventures - Yeah the trick on legendary with skulls on is to spend thirty minutes building a fortress of crates and boxes before you open the door, then battle them in your castle and take them out one by one, after a couple hours of siege you may be able to win.

@MrPinkAdventures - Sounds like you might have to make your own mod if you aren't able to find what your are looking for! :P
MrPinkAdventures 24 Jul @ 8:59pm 
@shadowed - Everyone does have their own opinions and we can reasonably agree to disagree, I came to this mod hoping it would be better than the disaster that is Halo 2 with Sprinkles <-- because that mod is nowhere near as good as the praise that it receives.
shadowed  [author] 24 Jul @ 8:32pm 
@MrPinkAdventures - If I had my way there would be even more AI; but the game engine has its limits.

This was made for coop where we wanted to replay the campaigns but fight lots of AI and make them able to shoot far away. It's ok that it isn't for everyone - Thanks for feedback!
