Halo: Reach - Sky on Fire

You are embedded with an infantry company that's been torn to shreds defending the ground entrance of the Caracalla Park resort. The only way out is now burning itself up in the river, and with your back against the wall it won't be long before the Covenant overwhelm your position. Give them hell, and for as long as possible.

-------

This mod is designed to evoke the experience of a pitched battle, with stronger, smarter enemies that will deliver withering fire on you from a distance while other elements try to flank your position. On your own they will brutalize you, but you are not alone. Work with your UNSC Army allies who have fortified the resort, and you may stand a chance.

Aim assist training wheels are gone, and all weapons have been altered to behave more realistically (bullet physics, increased range, etc). Some weapons' mechanics and roles have been greatly altered, as well, and all magazine-fed weapons (with the exception of the Needler and Needle Rifle) are now subject to losing their remaining ammunition when reloaded. Be mindful of this!

This mod was designed for solo play with the AI for support, but can handle multiplayer and Versus with some desync issues. I suggest playing with low starting lives and few or no power weapons in the loadouts, as the map is balanced around its existing power weapon spawns.

CHANGELOG (V0.9.6):

Patch for compatibility with latest MCC update, as well as some minor changes:

- Small changes to resource allocation, such as disabling some of the far-off fire and smoke effects in the city. Intended to reduce instances of disappearing projectiles, particle effects, ragdolls, etc. This will require more substantial work in the future, including converting the sandbag structures into homogenous chunks versus the hundreds of individual pieces they're made up of now.

- Some tweaks to AA gun projectile velocity, accuracy and target leading for more consistent kills against Seraphs as they approach, although target prioritization continues to be a problem. This may require a changeover to scripted engagments in the future.

-------

KNOWN ISSUES:

This mod pushes right up against the game's resource limit, so there may be hiccups in some circumstances. However, most problems are related to host-client communication in multiplayer matches:

- The various posed bodies on the map may be seen standing by non-host players.

- The weapon racks in the new side room area are only usable by the host.

- Non-host players may sometimes have bugged Wraiths which lack visible mortar sections and crew. They may also see dropped equipment (e.g. jetpacks) which will not appear for other players.

- The Pelicans delivering UNSC reinforcements are sometimes invisible for non-host players, although they will still drop off troops.
