The Package mission is pushing the limits of the Halo engine

Any time I tried adding new weapons or enemies the map would literally refuse to compile or the compiler would crash.

That’s why a lot of mods that change the campaign will split The Package into two separate levels - I don’t really know how to do that so I just left it pretty barebones.

the package mission seems to be pretty sparse of any new content

Top tier mod. Would love to see a marine campaign. Having a weird issue maybe... All my armor appears to disappear when playing though.

when can we play through the whole campaign as a trooper instead of noble 6?

I get that, like I said its your mod and you can do as you wish just giving honest feedback that something about the camera feels "floaty" in 3rd and kind of throws off the feel/flow of it. HUD definitely is disorienting just again seems... odd, like its simulated screenshake at its core, but just seems a bit excessive given the increased RoF enemies have as well.
For direct hits though honestly its a great touch to actually have your character flinch as such. Like I said overall yea bravo you did a good mod, just letting you know from an outsider's view that you added some real divisive choices that can alienate popularity or even actual playability for some people with motion sickness and still look forward to any future work, keep it up and make it how you want, just feedback to consider is all.

1st person isn’t happening unfortunately because I don’t want to spend days creating brand new custom animations for the 1st person models and also I just love 3rd person games.

The HUD effects are to disorientate the player and simulate being suppressed by enemy fire/explosions, not because of any sci-fi magic about electromagnetism. Purely to handicap the player and make them play more carefully.


I’m glad you like the mod and I would like to get around to making mods of a similar feel for Halo 1, 2, and 3 and those ones will be 1st person.

I do have one 1st person version of Trooper Firefight on the workshop but it’s just 1 map and more of a demo.

Gave it another try after months and months, third person is still the big deal breakers because it just feels like the camera is too "floaty" not to mention armor effects on your dude is annoying, and the HUD static is just bad. "but its EM interference from the plasma" except it happens even when not hitting you, inside a metal-composite faraday cage known as mjolnir armor specifically meant to be EM/plasma resistant, protected by your own EM shield... yea...

I get it mod author, this is your personal take on the game, but really wish there was an option for 1st/3rd camera most of all and for any of your future projects. I love the increased range the AI has, love the added weapons and their projectile speed changes, Revenant actually is a reasonable threat now that its charge flies faster than a balloon, warthog driving is a bit too low-gravity/flippy, but can live with that, an objectively fun mod but definitely missed the mark for "play feel" due to cam issues and some physics.

If anyone wants to use shoulder attachments the ODST pauldrons work

prototype blackwatch voicelines fit so well

hey man any news on any fix for the armor attachments dissapearing?

cant help but think of Deftones' Goon Squad song every time i read "Goon"

Gotta make a mod with a squad of Marines called the Goon squad now

Gooner detected

we need more female marine into frontline sir! to boost our morale!

Yeah I noticed that too I just troubleshooted which parts worked and others didn't so I could have some... perhaps I should have complained but I was more or less loving it instead of dogging on it

Yeah idk what causes that. It also seems to be inconsistent where some pieces are working and some aren’t.

My armor attachments aren't showing up (only tested on Winter Contingency), but I want my armor not just the chestplate.

This mod is cool af like I thought I was gonna be playing as a marine but I ain't but being a spartan is still just as cool the sounds are awesome, the guns are awesome, the vehicles are awesome, the mechanics are awesome, airstrike are airstrikes, and Falcon go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This mod its only play in third person

It’s the same mod but for the Reach campaign.

I’d like to do custom campaigns where you play as Non-Spartans but that is way down the line.

So anyone else find it really misleading that this is called "Trooper Firefight Campaign" But you still play as a spartan and it's just 3rd person now? Like I was expecting to play as a trooper, like you did in trooper firefight, I thought that was the whole point

it would be cool to see more police officers like in exodus or so, if anything would be cool if you did a firefight map for the other mod that had a decent chunk of officers and troopers, or let you play as an officer idk, really like how they look but i only ever saw 2

really like this work, are there any plans for playing as a marine/odst in the campaign or just 6 ? again really like this mod

the armor atachments not appear in all campaing, plz fix the bug

Love this mod. Would be the amazing to see enemy's and allies take and give realistic damage
to each other and player. Amazing mod Thank you for this!

@boid.mdl Can't tell you how happy I am to hear that. Your mod is literally one of a kind and having that for any other halo game would be a blessing.

the armor atachments not appear in mission Sword Base, only is helmet, is a known bug, or is all campaing?, i played the mod before and not appears this bug

Yeah I've made some custom edits to the game sandbox of Halo 1-3 in the past and will probably get around to making mods inspired by Trooper Firefight for those games.

Mainly just the faster paced, brutal combat, tuned up AI, and custom sound FX. They will most likely stay 1st person.

in the future there will be versions of this mod style in other halo games?

Sorry I have no clue what could be causing that problem. It's a mystery to me. Apparently it's only certain armour parts that have that problem.

any chance you'll fix the armor bug? Non of my armor is applied when playing its a bummer because I really like this mod otherwise

The Elite damage is a leftover change from the Firefight version of the mod. I'll lower the damage they do next update.

Another one I noticed more was just how easily Elites can rush you down. It borders on suicidal but with their shields to take hits for them, their evasiveness, and their gun already softening you up they can pretty confidently just charge behind your cover and kick you, since even in vanilla they melee at lightning speed. Like every elite being a sword elite on top of their held weapons

The vibes and gameplay style are on point. My main nitpick is some rework to the dropship guns, or at least their attack range so they aren't nailing you from across the map as they fly off since all enemies have pretty crazy range and accuracy

That and some weapons like the sniper feel nigh-useless since enemy suppression is so aggressive and their range is so long you don't even really get a range advantage. Not to mention Covenant weapons being fairly useless too. I get that they wouldn't really be connected to your spartan's hud, but I think just a crosshair would be fine and the ammo can still be hidden

n0

you can make a version in first person?

if you ever get around to making a custom campaign, you should try to make custom 2 player characters inspired from Kestrel & Archer from conviction

are the covenant weapons supposed to not have crosshairs?

It would be cool to see the H2A BR55 but with select fire stuff like full auto and burst.

It would also be nice, if you turned off the dropships fucking turret on Lone Wolf. Pretty sure I remember in Halo Reach, NOBLE 6 is killed by a bunch of Elites, not being cross mapped by 7 different fucking dropship turrets within seconds on the Easy Difficulty.

Oh yeah, another thing, is that the players armor attachments don't appear in game. The helmet and colors work, but I don't think any other attachments the player has work.

Yeah I will probably change it back. It was a left over thing from another project I was working on.

@boid.mdl how come the sniper rifle was changed from third to first person. i thought i worked well from third person because you can watch the projectile fly across the map and see where it hits

@bild.mdl Oh ok, understood.

yo realmente adoro este mod, es el mejor que he visto y porfin he podido jugar un combate mas realista y frenetico que halo debio tener desde siempre, muchas gracias por este mod y por actualizarlo para volverlo a jugar, crees que se pueda hacer este tipo de mod, en las otras campañas de halo en un futuro, existe alguna posibilidad?

Your Spartan is just the Halo Reach amour you've picked. There's no new custom armour - I meant the Spartan you've personally customised the appearance of.

That's rad, if you can provide a list of armors that let you use the custom armor that would be cool to know. Also take all the time you need to fix the armor problem.

Yeah it should. But I'm hearing from people their custom spartan is not working outside of cutscenes for some reason. I'll try to look into the problem.

@boid.mdl Hope I ain't bothering you with this question, but does this mod have custom armor you can use on your spartan?

@Ket You clearly do not have sufficient media literacy. The UNSC are the colonist oppressors (they're all white) while the Covenant are the wholesome diverse BIPOCs resisting imperialism and colonialism.

Well....that's some interesting information...

okay cool SgtMaj Duvall is white now

actually literally everyone's white

I could chalk that up to an oversight, but homie went out of his way to darken the aliens' faces too

i'm sorry dawg but my whole forehead hurts from how sternly I'm holding this eyebrow raise
