UNSC are normal, Covenant (and the player) are Gruntified. The problem when I made it was there was no real way to set up the Spartan's armor variants to have customization working properly. It might be doable in the future if I decide to go back to this, I would love to see Noble Team as Grunts eventually

Are noble team and marines supposed to be grunts? If so then my mod is bugged

this makes halo reach 1000x times better istg

better halo reach its finally playable

Oh weird, maybe an animation reference got mixed up with the last update. I'll check that out

i cant ride the mac cannon
other than that goated mod

A new version was released for this today. I fixed the flickering Cortana light on Pillar of Autumn, and ported over the most recent versions of the Cursed H3 weapons from Cursed Reach. This optimizes a ton of space and gives the maps a little more breathing room

funny

glad to see your gonna be looking into this :D it was kinda distracting but i still finshed it great campaign it was dope

Ohhh Stoney, I know what that is. It's the Cortana capsule you're carrying on your back, I can adjust the positioning. If I recall, in Cursed Reach in this mission I changed something to fix this, I'll look at this again and try to find a fix. Because you're so much shorter as a Grunt, it basically renders in your line of sight.

on the pillar of gruntumn i keep having a werid blue thing pop up on screen wasnt happening on any other lvl to now not sure whats going on with it https://streamable.com/2wizjx

yup

wow that's a lot of grunts

The game crashes immediately when I leave the final falcon

Something funky definitely happened at some point with the Jackal/Skirmisher Grunts where they don't see players somehow? I'm unsure if it's related to the model, or to something in the AI behavior.

The Grunters also do have some issues, they do melee up close and fire from far away, but sometimes they just go dumb and I haven't figured that one out. I assume this is also related to some missing animation references, but I'll dig into this at some point.

And regarding if it makes the game harder, it kind of does. Since you have Grunt skin as a material type, you take different damage than the default skin in Reach's campaign. As in, you take more damage because you're a Grunt, naturally by the game's logic. I debated for a while on changing it, but I kind of liked the idea of keeping you feeling weaker as a Grunt in combat.

Also I think the AI of some grunts might be broken. The Hunters and grunts with Needle Rifles I've encountered so far didn't really attack me

Does this also make the game harder? I remember Heroic feeling a little too easy and now I'm getting destroyed in the first level

Grunt Engineers actually look so damn terrifying.

The taming of the grunts, the grunt rebellion, were it not for the grunts, the grunts would've broken long ago.

imagine theres a mod like this called gurrila warfare or somthing like that and it replaces everything with brutes

me like

flip-yap approved

New patch is live, increases the rate of Interdimensional Marbles spawning, I added an additional 30 weapons that can spawn from these marbles, updated the M6D Magnum sounds to be classic CE sounds, adjusted the visual of the M6D to be more like CE on impact, fixed a shading issue with the Jackal Grunts, and added some "Xbox Series X" meme weapons I made, hidden throughout the campaign.

I need to update it to include all the extra weapons added to the Marble. I've ported over all of my Cursed Halo 3 weapons and have the marble updated, but some levels like The Package hit memory limits immediately and I can't build the map with it. Trying to find a solution, but I might just upload where it spawns nothing on that level.

Glad you enjoyed it though! I'll maybe increase the odds of those marbles spawning too

25 out of 10. only thing i could think that would improve this is increasing the interdimentional portal spawns.

certified Balaho classic

Gruntpocalypse now

@Libriovraiment ok

Even the poor engineer.

I only have one answer...


Okay, I actually don't really have an answer, but it's fun and makes me laugh

I only have one question...
By the Prophets, why?

O M G This is so cute!!!

Terrifying

This mod will spark a new religion.

gashnor please friend me. or any one else.

New update is live, returns Jackals and Skirmishers to being able to be headshot, fixed a bug with Elites not exiting drop pods, and I hid some "Interdimensional Marbles" around the campaign from my Cursed Halo 3 mod, and can also rarely drop from a variety of enemies. These will spawn in a variety of weapons (23 currently ported) and vehicles (2 currently ported) to use in campaign.

Some of them I gave the Grunt material, some I kept vanilla for a little variety. If you see blue Grunt blood coming out, that's how you know

that's certainly interesting, does that apply to enemies as well?

Health and shields are the same, but the Grunt skin material type takes way more damage from plasma weapons. So same health, but technically more fragile by just being a Grunt

is the health and shields changed or is reach harder than I remember

It was kind of an experiment to see if slower moving versions of the Skirmishers and Jackals that don't guard as well would be better to fight without headshots. I'll be fixing that soon, also adjusting some HUD stuff, so expect that soon

After playing a few levels it seems like the jackals and skirmishers cant be head shot, making fighting them kind of tedious.

my only complaint is that I can't be in third person at all times

Not sure if it'd be funnier for noble 6 to be the only grunt or if all of noble were grunts

Personally I think the scale of the spartan helmet and torso armor is a bit too big. But oh well. Me like.

Good news based on your profile pic, I just added an Arbiter Grunt to replace the Bobs in campaign

i havent played it yet and it already looks perfect

I spent some time and had ported about 20 Cursed Halo 3 weapons to Reach, they're currently usable in the Firefight version of this mod (also on my workshop) when you play Fiesta

I'd like to eventually make a full Reach cursed campaign, but I'll work on it around other aspects of life since these take a few hundred hours to finish usually.

Any chance we're going to see a version of this that's a little bit cursed?

finally, a mod to make the game playable
