Ring of Apokalypsis Update

For anyone that ever doubted me, here is my retort! I reported as much changes & bugs as I could, but it is likely I still missed a few things. If I missed anything, do let me know! I know I said this before, but this will likely be the last major update for the mod, bug squashing aside. I'll also be pushing for a tag release on the gore system in the future, as well as pushing for a standalone "Brutality Classic," where the maps and sandbox is 100 percent faithful to vanilla CE, since I know not everyone may be fond of the changes I made.

General Changes

Assault Rifle max ammo buffed to 420.
Assault Rifle has an independent grenade launcher, can no longer throw regular grenades.

Brutes have their own unique gib effects.
Brute Spike Grenades added as a third grenade type.
Brute Plasma Rifle added, courtesy of CMT's H2 Coagulation mod for Custom Edition.

Removed the dual pistols due to redundancy, both with the default pistol and magnum present.
Sentinels have Major variants from Halo 2, courtesy of The Flood: Forgotten Exile Developers.
Smaller gib landing sounds are now more "icky" sounding.
Slugman shaders re-vamped to better match the Hunter's armor (they're both made up of the same worms, after all).

Weapon zoom sounds from later Halo games added for weapons that can zoom in (rocket, pistol, ect.)
