Halo 2: Tickrate AI Balance Fix

The entire burden of a community's culture cannot be placed on the companies alone. Hence why the comments I made.
I think the community is indeed responsible for a lot of its own shortcomings.
That said, 343, Halo Studios, and I'd argue even Bungie themselves, were responsible for a lot. Even still, I do think Halo's community, both modding and not, has had major cultural issues. That's really my main point with that.

The tools being shit and MCC making things harder doesn't fully explain the community hoarding basic info and knowledge as a currency only some people have the right to have. Companies are an enemy of all, but there are definitely internal issues within any community that are not exclusively caused by a company's managers.

To be honest, they likely haven't fixed this because they don't care. Let's be real, it's 343 Industries, it's a team of people that don't want to be working on someone else's titles. They're getting forced to, and realistically that's not fair to them in the same way them shitting out terrible games isn't fair to the consumer. The Halo Studios rebrand just means they're on borrowed time.

I don't agree with some of the sentiments but I do think credit is due here. Modding communities are one thing, but the real enemy are publishers who keep devs from doing their work (or devs that don't think this is an issue for MCC)
Thanks for your hard work!

It's the same modern liberals that have taken over the rest of the tech sphere. Only difference here is that, the games have been out so long they were able to fully kick the normal people to the curb.

Yeah, the modding tools are extremely hard to use, and the community does not help itself with proper documentation and prefers to heavily guard basic info. Literally every other modding community, even those that deal with way more technical issues, have way better culture.

Well, in all fairness. This is a shitload of work for zero pay. Even setting up something basic can take hours with the tools. The issue I have with the mod community myself is that they will spend all that time and then produce something barely quality enough to share.

@Bruurbs, I second that on the modding community. The only worthwhile mods being made are by Youtubers. Which, come to think of it, is baffling that a Youtuber can pump out high quality mods while maintaining their Youtube channel, but the rest of the modding community can only be bothered to make a pink Grunt tag file.

That is a big part of why I hated playing Halo 2, so this mod will end up being one of my main ways of playing the game in the future

I was actually kind of surprised it affects shield recharge rates. However, without this fix some enemies just become invincible unless you use certain weapons.

Also, don't be discouraged by the community's lack of interest. Halo's community is probably the worst in all of gaming, which extends to its modding community. These fixes are welcome by anyone who is here with a brain.
