Standoff AI Battlefield | Endless AI War

My next modded map is now complete! If you like AI war maps, this one is definitely for you and a must try. The Covenant are attacking a UNSC missile launch site during their invasion of Earth, and groups of Marines, ODST’s, and even Spartans are on their way to help repel the trespassers. This map is a lot more fast paced and chaotic compared to my other maps, as Standoff is a smaller multiplayer playspace. I made good use of the area I had to work with though, with Covenant forces landing around Red base, and UNSC reinforcements being deployed near Blue base. As always, the AI are infinitely respawned, so the battle will go on for as long as you want! I had a lot of fun making and playing this one, and I'm sure you will too!
