The Shadow in Halo 2 is a fairly iconic vehicle to those who remember the Halo 2 E3 Demo, and sadly, due to Halo 2's rather infamously hellish development,
the Shadow never really got to shine, only showing up for a brief moment in the mission Outskirts at the end.

Due to its fairly limited appearance, the Shadow is a fairly incomplete vehicle all things considered, you can't board its occupants,
it features barely any of Halo 2's impressive vehicle destruction effects, you can't even drive the damn thing!

Well, the objective of this mod was to change that!

With this mod, you can now drive the Shadow with no problems, and it also improves upon the locations of its various seat markers,
so that where you're allowed to get into it from are more fitting, along with fully supported seat boarding that re-uses the animations from the Warthog,
which happen to fit quite nicely with the Shadow, and you can also additionally both get into and board the Shadow's Turret from behind,
which is a feature added, due to existing but unused animations for various covenant show them doing this very thing.

The most notable feature of this mod, is the addition of brand-new effects for damaging and destroying the various parts of the Shadow,
bumping up its total amount of destructible parts tremendously! Most of these effects were more-or-less created either from scratch,
or are heavily modified versions of existing effects used for the various covenant vehicles.

Other miscellaneous improvements include proper vehicle flipping, strings for Shadow boarding, slight changes to its handling,
a new sound for the turret based on Halo 1's shade turrets, improved target markers for shooting at the Shadow and locking-on with rockets,
a new set of bitmaps for the Shadow's hull, and various other extremely small changes.

I hope you enjoy!
