Halo 2: Flood Firefight

A Halo 2 Flood Firefight esque mode with a ton of features like dropships, dialogue events, custom models, scripted endings, huge battles and more.

Firstly i'd like to thank the Halo Modding discord in all of their help thus far in further learning how to script, as these maps wouldn't have been as grand and flashy.
Also the huge gigachad tag creators for their creations used in this mod and contribution to the community.

For now there are five maps with plans to add more; this is a massive ongoing passion project. i'm also glad to see more Halo 2 mods coming out, there's alot of untapped potential and H2 definitely deserves some more love. I've had an idea to make something like this for a long time but was always a huge pipedream back in the day since the original tools for H2 were borked. A huge thanks to 343 for making these dreams an actual possibility among other titles in the franchise.

More in depth about the features:
-Pathfinding hints so the AI can utilize the map geometry more
-Ai will follow you around the entire map, and also take any abandoned vehicles leading to big vehicle fights
-New custom Elite, Grunt, & Jackal rank(s) (Elite: Evangelist -Orange and Green-, Spec ops Major) (Grunts: Zealot *has shields*) (Jackal Ultra: Energy shields, flinches way less)
- "Heroes"
- Music
- Sentinels, Heretics and Enforcers
- Dialogue events/scenes for atmosphere
- Re-colored some Elite ranks; (Spec ops got their black armor, Elite Councilor more exotic scheme, Spec ops Commander Black and Gold, Jackal Ultra dark red armor with a deep red-orange shield)
- Over 90 unique waves for both Flood and Allies combined
- Wraith auto-turrets will work for player
- Unique firing patterns for different ranks
- Secret weapons/events to find
- Scripted endings on Waterworks and Coagulation
- Respawning ammo, weapons, vehicles and equipment

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Be sure you are running the game in either English, Espanol, French or Japanese, otherwise you'll get broken audio.

The intended difficulty for the mod is Heroic for best pacing and what I mainly balance around, Legendary should still be manageable. Be sure to turn on They Come Back skull for best results and the Thats Just Wrong Skull if you want to up (which does affect allies) ai's game.
+ The usual favs of course.

Also during the intro sequence for Waterworks those who don't know where Sgt. Banks is he's at the top of Blue Base where the Banshee spawns usually. this intro was re-designed using trigger volumes instead of AI scene trigger so shouldn't have anymore major issues especially in co op.

Be sure to set the reinforcement switches back to off (default screen, with the circle and arrows) after turning them on (blue screen) otherwise you might overflow the amount of ai on the map which will ruin your experience; these buttons also have cooldowns of about 20-25 mins before they can be used again. It is up to the player to make sure to keep numbers down. I suggest using them when your numbers are at or below 5 for best results.

You can delete any language files you don't need to save extra space in: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\976730 and look for this mod's folder, go into the halo2 folder/h2_maps_win64_dx11. Only delete files that are labeled sounds_en, sounds_sp etc. Don't touch sound_neutral/remastered.

There is no ui string popup on the pelican passenger seat for the ending on waterworks but it's there left or right side works.

If you enjoyed this mod and would like to give more than just a thanks/support the project to help keep my morale strong. Consider checking out my Ko-fi page, i'll also be posting updates about the projects progress there mainly:

I'll be looking into a way to allow for people to play updates earlier like some others do to help give feedback and potential ideas
