About this mod

CURRENTLY BROKEN DUE TO HALO 3 UPDATE - THIS MOD WILL BE PLAYABLE AGAIN WHEN A PATCH / CONVERSION TOOL BECOMES AVAILABLE. v1.0 - Expands the Quarantine Zone allies with more Elites and Spectres, more diverse Elite ranks and better allies during the Gondola ride. Also adds enemy Marines, Needler Sentinels and much more!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This mod aims to increase the replay value of the mission Quarantine Zone by adding more allies and vehicles at the start as well as refreshing the allies you get throughout the level to make things more interesting and create some new and unique opportunities for fresh encounters. The mod adds 2 extra Spectres to the starting area and enough Elite allies on Legendary to have 3 full Spectres in the first cavernous room battle, adds drivers to the Ghosts and refreshes the weapons of the Shipmaster squad of experienced warriors, and adds more allies to the Gondola ride at the end of the mission.

This mod also adds enemy Marines throughout the mission who add an additional faction to the fighting. There are also more Needler Sentinels and some other Sentinels have diversified weapons. Likewise, not all Marines wield Human weapons and some have scavenged Covenant firearms from the battlefield in homage to the Needler and Plasma Rifle Marines in Halo: CE. Lastly, this mod also has a separate file for the 'Chaos Edition', which adds allied Marines, enemy Elites, allied Enforcers, Honour Guards and much more.

List of Changes

- Starting allied team is far larger with 9 Elites on Normal and 11 on Legendary, enough to fill 3 Spectres
- Starting Ghosts are replaced with Spectres, so the level starts with 3 allied Spectres, the player's Spectre has a high-ranking Elite in the turret
- Needler Sentinel is now a more common form of the Sentinel Major as originally intended by Bungie. Certain Sentinel squads have also been increased in size
- Enemy Marines are now present in force, adding another faction to the mix. Unlike Sacred Icon Expanded, the Marines are not allied with Sentinels
- A handful of Marines will spawn as radio operators or even combat-equipped naval officers from the In Amber Clad, showcasing the dire Human situation
- Shipmaster Rtas Vadum now mans the turret of the Spectre when he joins you, and the Phantom will drop two random Elites giving you a full Spectre
- Increased the number of allied Elites and diversified allied Elite ranks in the final Gondola section
- Added a Hidden Marine into the final Library area

- Then simply moves the floodzone.map file that is this mod to replace the one in the maps file, and play Halo: MCC with Anti-Cheat disabled
