The scale of the battles is really, really cool too, fits Halo so well, i've been searching for a mod like HAVOC on H2 for quite some time, never expected this to be the one. The only thing i disliked was removing the tank on delta halo level, unlike the other ''vehicle sections'' with the elites, wich worked very well, this one was somewhat of a slog to get through, maybe raise the amount of allies we get there. Anyway, underrated gem, my favorite H2 mod.

Man, this is a severely underrated mod, as someone else said, the thumbnail really does not help, never expected the amount of content and changes, and how well all this worked to create a fun experience. Loved how you not only made new Elite rankings, but also added the fabled Light of Sanghelios as an ally in battle, also how Rtas will join most of the fights now when he appears, instead of staying behind for reinforcements or whatever. Most of the new weapons are really cool, especially the red ones (the red needler is goated), just wish we got shotgun and carbine variations tho.

Added Halo CE pistol to the campaign

Yes, everything is clearly a shotgun Ayane

Everything's a shotgun

I am also thinking of adding the Halo CE pistol to the regular campaign as well so that there will be 2 pistol variants. That may also be uploaded with the next update as well but no promises on that.

Added a new hardcore level for only the most hardened of veterans. Starting next week I'm going to start finalizing the last challenge levels of the mod as most of them will be custom made levels from scratch. They should all be done by the end of november and at the end of december I will resume working on the halo reach mod which is planned to be released in full next summer.

This mod is actually insane, I was not expecting HALF the stuff this mod has.The thumbnail does not do this mod any justice, if anyone was peeking into the comments here to see what this mod is, please play it, it's crazy fun,,

For some odd reason sapien (the editor) removed the weapons the elite allies had on the bar fight. I have fixed this issue and touched up the fight a bit more as well. If you had this issue previously then feel free to try the level again as it should be functioning properly now.

oh ok

Those elites never go inside, I will fix the name now as well

Hello sir, I've seen 2 blue elites from The Arbiter chapter doesn't go inside at the beginning. Also, chapter title says 04a_gasgiant. Can you investigate it later?

Okay I was able to find the relevant files since they were still in the steam content folder and copy pasta actually worked. Was able to upload a fix and also made the mod public again. Sorry about that there should not be anything else to fix (at least not right now) so this will be the teaser mod in its final form. Any other fixes will be done with the upload next year.

Sadly, the uploader completely broke and by completely I mean that it undid everything so I'm gonna have to reupload the mod entirely to fix something I accidentally broke. Thanks for your patience might take a bit to fix this since I have to redo the upload mostly from scratch.

Alright the Halo Reach teaser is now live! You can find it here, enjoy!

Okay just one small change to make to a level, recompile and reupload it and we are good to go. So about 30-40 mins to release now :)

Okay the mod is uploaded now, just rechecking a few things and I'll have it released shortly

Okay just recompiling stuff and need to finish testing one last level, everything should be done and uploaded in about 3 hours from now

*Watches intensely* Just 2 more levels, just 2 more levels!

Just finishing up testing on the last 2 levels, once that's done just need to grab some picks for the campaign and upload it. Almost there.

Okay the testing is mostly done now, I still want to play through it again before I upload it so instead of doing so now I'll likely upload it by tomorrow night just to make sure everything is good to go.

Yea I'm finalizing some testing for the teaser version now, I'll probably be done with testing in 2-3 hours and have it released in 4-5 :) I won't be working on it again until probably December though but I plan on making the overhaul as large as this one :) I've already made a lot of changes so I hope you enjoy it!

No freaking way! We are eventually going to get a reach version of this!?!?!?! I can die happy!

Okay on monday I'll likely be releasing a Halo Reach mod teaser for you all to enjoy and I'll be taking a short break for a week or 2 before I resume work on the Halo 2 mod. It's already jam packed full of changes to the campaign that I am sure that you'll enjoy and it is already roughly 25-30% complete so it is no small "teaser" as much more will be added to the mod from new weapons, new weapon variants, many more customized encounters etc. It will be a full fledged mod like this one is :) Then this winter probably in Decemberish I'll continue working on the Reach mod and probably have that done by next summer.

great mod, only prob is that tanks go so fast that hitting any small slop hurts you, spins the tank out of control and kills everyone at times , even on delta halo the second odst tank driver flipped his tank on the first ramp after the bridge

W mod. This mod makes me wanna do more challenging.

It is easier to make a script first then check natural pathing and if the natural pathing doesn't work then the script can be a failsafe, but in most cases just telling them exactly what to do if they don't need to go far is just straight up better as you can still tell them to shoot at stuff while in a script.

A lot of pathing and scripts were pretty lenient so for a lot of the mod I just removed that leniency in a lot of cases. They also had the AI follow you a lot which was somewhat dumb so I gave them more straight forward orders as well instead of just "follow this guy around." I redid most of it from scratch, especially the parts that are known to be broken.

oh ok so you redid the jumps and accompanied that and redid the script, it must have required a lot of work, thanks for your answer

I redid the jump hints and recoded the scripts from scratch.

Good evening, quick question, how did you repair the broken grunts in the conduit in the sentinelwalls level at the beginning?

Made some updates to the 2nd Stage in Sword Fight, should be much more consistent rather than being somewhat RNG based. Drastically increased allied performance for that section of the level.

This mod reminds me alot of Halo CE Havoc mod....love this so far man awesome work

Okay so here is the basic plan for now, in the fall in probably a couple months I'm going to finish up making the challenge levels (probably make 7-8 more including some more custom stuff). I need to completely redo the final level since it's broken and will likely take a few days alone to redo from scratch. Once I am done with that I will probably make just an version of the mod with a campaign using only Halo music for those who asked for that and the original mod idea of having the pistol as a free side arm to pick up as well both of which will just be for the OG campaign not including the challenge levels. Those things won't take me more than a few days to do so I'll do that after I'm done with the other stuff before I fully move on to reach.

Read the nexus mod page on how to fight tartarus but I need to redo the entire level anyway since the scripts broke on it

i really like the mod, but i got to ask is the last bugged, tartarus just refused to die, same with the other brute..did i miss something, beside that i really enjoyed it

Those levels are legendary only

hmm, for some reason when i try to play anything after great journey, it loads, then immediately starts the load screen for the next challenge level.. all the way until the final mission and then boots me to menu. as if the missions are completing instantly and loading the next

It is only balanced for legendary mode and have never played below heroic so I don't know but it should be mostly fine.

So the mod works well on all difficultys. Correct?

Added 2 new challenge levels to be played, enjoy!

@Bodyguard

You probably missed it since it was purely just a random mod post with no marketing 😂 But I'm glad you like it :)

If you want to know metros then play the updated version of the mod, the unit to start the scenario will be placed behind that section outside near the tunnel exit, though, allies have a bad habit of murdering that son of a b**** 😂

This was just pure fun, I'm surprised I missed this until now. It gave me that Havoc Mod itch I've been looking for since CE. Incredible work! My new go to now!

Got it working, I think I had to have enough buddies with me, or so I think since it worked now when I had a huge amount of ODSTs with unique visors along . Now down to Metropolis.. I think barring the Speedrun mission, I've replayed it like 10 times using different vehicles at the start / no vehicle, tried killing everything, skipping and saving as many marines as possible. These civilian tier types are very elusive!

As long as all conditions are still met after killing him, it starts when you go into space.

Hi, it's me again! Thanks for looking into the last special scenario. I wanna talk about Cairos one, it's been a while since I played and I finally found the bastard.. but it seems the trigger isn't happening. I've tried killing him in several ways, but nothing happens after. Could you look into it?

Okay I made a failsafe, I'll test it later

It doesn't matter much as that is the end of the level but I've never run into that issue so a failsafe should be enough

There is nothing beyond them dying, "(sleep_until (<= (ai_living_count SCLA_Elites) 0))" As you can see here in the code, it simply waits until all of them are dead. If they did, in fact, die the only thing left is a short waiting period where this trigger is flagged "(set SC_Won TRUE)" which allows the level to complete. I can make a failsafe and just set a "game_won" condition though.
