Be sure to use the settings below!

How to install:
-Backup all the vanilla firefight maps, put them aside in a folder encase you want to play normal firefight again
-Move all the modded maps into "maps" folder "Halo The Master Chief Collection\haloreach\maps"
-Replace those
-Launch the game from your steam library (not shortcuts) WITHOUT anti-cheat to be safe
-Do 'custom firefight'
-Invite some friends, you'll need backup (Make sure they have the mod installed, too)


How to setup:
Edit Spartan traits in the lobby options: 
- Turn off shields (they are off by default but you must set the option to get rid of the beep-beep-beep sound)
- Set damage resistance to 50% for a more tactical intense experience. You can still take damage with this setting but not for long!
- Set jump height to 125% (Marines have practically no jump by default so this makes it decent)
Optional:
- Turn off motion tracker
- Add health regeneration to make it a little easier.
- For some reason, they 3rd and 4th player use their spartan colours to modify the trooper's colour scheme - setting it to a silver or sage is fitting.


LOADOUTS:
- Use only the jetpack and evade armor abilities
With evade you can dive forward and left-right with fancy animations
You can't steer with the jetpack, you need to be running first then use that momentum to go forward


DIFFICULTY:
-Play on legendary (The mod is balanced for that, plus it's the best experience. With the rebalanced weapons plus teamwork with your squadmates you can stay alive)







Weapon changes:
-DMR is truly semi-automatic; no long pauses between shots
-Assault rifle is more powerful to match the 308 cartrage the DMR uses. It also fires faster.
-Grenade launcher has more velocity, it's now useful over longer ranges.
-Sniper rifle is a scary anti-material rifle that does way more damage
-Rocket launcher has a fast projectile like a true rocket
-Shotgun is more realistic
-Ammo counts for rare UNSC weapons are increased to compensate for their scarcity and how frequent you die
-Some Covenant weapons are more deadlier against humans


Tips:
-Remember: You are NOT a Spartan
-Fire the assault rifle in very short bursts at mid-to-long range, it's actually quite effective at distances when doing this
-There's no sniper zoom on the DMR but if you hold right click you still get better accuracy
-Set crouch mode to "toggle" so it's easier to pop up and down
-Stay in cover
-STAY IN COVER
-Use cover
-crouch
-Pop in and out of cover
-Utilize that 3rd person camera for more situational awareness
-Modify the firefight waves to your liking - the vanilla starting jackal hordes aren't that fun. Try adding more elites, skirmishers, etc for more of a tough time.




Your trooper appearance matches the map you play on. Example: on corvette level you play as the boarding marines/pilots; shipyards you are UNSC Marines; ODSTs on the destroyed Sword Base; badlands troopers on the desert maps, etc etc
