About this mod
Welcome to Heir of The Old Lords, a new Firefight map based on EmmanuelCD's "Hexzone", where Halo and Bloodborne meet in a 7-rounds adventure with powerful opponents, frightening bosses and an exotic artstyle born by the combination of vanilla and modern assets.

More about the mod
The tagset is based heavily on the vanilla assets, revamped with OS shaders and a touch of modern era influences. New weapons are in the party as well, and same goes for your enemies and their behaviour. Due to that, THIS MAP REQUIRES OPENSAUCE.
The map has also several influences from FromSoftware's phenomenal game Bloodborne, going from the music and the ingame sounds to the boss designs and behavior. The name itself, "Old Lords", is a Bloodborne reference, since it can refer to both the Old Lords of Yharnam (the Pthumerians) or of Halo (the Forerunners). You will also have a speed boost ability as a replacement for the flashlight. And, most of all, you'll be assisted in this journey by the best waifu Exuberant Witness!
Installation instructions
First of all, you need the version 1.0.10 of Halo Custom Edition and OpenSauce installed, which can be found here: OpenSauce - c20 (reclaimers.net)
After that, place the .yelo file inside your maps folder, just like any regular map. To run the mod, either run it through console, or (if you want a simpler soluton), create a text file called "init.txt", write map_name old_lords inside it and place it in your Halo CE root folder.
