Hey man, hope you move this to the workshop one day. After playing everyone else's iteration of trooper firefight, I always crave your take on balancing as a tactical shooter.
You did something great here. Really miss this mod.
IDK if this mod is still active but I am trying to play the mod and it keeps Validating for some reason and I havent been able to play it yet I also recently bought Halo reach not the entire MCC idk if that has anything to do How do I fix?
Will you be updating this mod to work with the most recent update that brought in Halo 3 and the new season? Love this mod a lot and think it has amazing potential
The buffs are no longer present in my game and I'm not sure why. I reset the game at first and then did a fresh install of the mod. Any idea as to why?
3.6GB is a lot considering non-premium user download speeds are capped at 2MB/s it would take 30 minutes just to download... I realize I'm asking for a lot, but could you possibly upload separate files for each firefight map? or at least just a few good ones as individual files? Not just for my sake, but anyone who wants to try this without having to download every single firefight map..
This mod has potential, but there are some game breaking issues that prevent me from even getting through one set of Firefight.
1) The animations for reloading, evading, grenade throwing, etc. all seem to be actual marine animations and not the spartan ones. It's probably pretty difficult to add Spartan animations to the Marine models and the marine animations do look cool, but the problem is that you CANNOT move at all until these super long, drawn out animations are complete, leaving you defenseless for at least a couple seconds. They have gotten me killed multiple times. Also, the falling animation is triggered when trying to use the jetpack. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but it's something that needs addressing.
2) Sideways movement is janky. Front and backward movement is fine, but moving side to side seems to be much more sluggish for some reason. It doesn't feel right at all, and again, it has gotten me killed multiple times.
3) You cannot zoom in third person, even in other third person mods that I've seen, so this is more of a general issue. Still, it really kills the tactical aspect of this mod.
Otherwise, I really like the rebalancing of the weapons, the adherence to only evade or the jet pack, and the decision to go with third person.
1) Anims will take longer if you let it reload by itself - as far as I'm aware, the only ways to get around this is if you hold down the mouse button it'll shoot the moment bullets appear in the ammo indicator. You can also swap weapons or melee to reload cancel.
2) This is also a result of the way NPC movement is done in the game, since they don't have the player physics flag enabled. When this is enabled movement will be much smoother and you can also control your direction slightly in midair as you normally could.
Hey as i can see, you manage to make the firefight run in third person, now I want to ask how did you make it, i only want to play on third person in firefight with my spartan, but there isnt really a mod to do it, so i think i might do it myself, but i dont even know how to do it, so big thanks if you can help me or anyone who reads this.
If you still haven't figured it out. Open up assembly then open your desired map file and search up all the armour abilities. They'll be under an "equipment" drop down box. Open all of them up the in each of them search "third person camera" and hit the tick box.

3) Yep, no way around this one unfortunately.
