Version 1.2 Update. Changelog:

- The first ever debut of my “AI Switch System 2.0”. In addition to being able to choose which squads spawn, buttons are now color coded uniquely for each faction. Also new is custom switch interaction text, which tells you clearly which AI squads each switch controls. You no longer need to go back and forth to the description thread for a guide!

- Quick Response Force Spawn switches added to each side. Press to spawn AI immediately nearby on demand. Conforms with the new switch system.

- New master kill switch added - which when pressed will remove all AI from the map and turn their individual switches off. Perfect for restarting a battle from scratch. This button also runs off my new “Switch System 2.0”.

- Trash Collector button added to the map. Press to remove all garbage that the H3 cleanup system misses. You guessed it - also contains new features gleamed from my further development of the switch system.

- Decreased the likelihood slightly of marines arriving in with power weapons.

- Slight reductions in the spawn times of many squads.

Changelog for Version 1.1:

- Dropship flight paths drastically improved and made to feel more realistic. Phantoms will now perform lined drops, which spread AI out further across the Battlefield to create more randomness and chaos with each encounter. Starting and finishing points also changed to be more realistic.
- Covenant AI squad compositions changed drastically to add many more possibilities for ranks, weapons carried, and AI types deployed.
- Spawn times across the board decreased for less downtime after a squad has been eliminated.
- Phantom Grav Lifts now activate when dropping off AI with it.
- Mongoose passenger now has a greater variety of weapons he/she can spawn with. This will no longer be a Spartan Laser 100% of the time.
- Increased diversity to UNSC squads. Marines and ODST’s will now come in more types, with more diverse gear and ranks.
- Brand new Spartan squad that made its debut in Standoff AI Battlefield added to this map. This team comes with its own Pelican drop.
- The Phantom that drops off the Hunter squad now will deploy 3 hunters instead of 2. Added to counter the addition of the Spartan pair.
- Jackal Phantom drop removed. These guys have been lumped in with the Grunt drop. The new “Light Covenant” drop contains 16 Jackals or Grunts, with gear and types chosen at random.
- Forge budget raised to 6000 to match the no AI version of this map.
