In response to feedback!
Hey guys! I really appreciate the criticism and feedback :) I've worked on this mod for over a year now, and while it does have awesome tags made by awesome people in the modding community (see the credits), it's otherwise been a solo effort by myself. For this reason, stuff like fine-tuned balancing and professional level bug testing just aren't something I can reasonably do. I release content and updates as soon as it is playable, because otherwise I would never release anything, working a full time job and fitting in development whenever I get leave.


I will absolutely take your criticisms in mind, and will take steps to alleviate issues to the best of my ability (The gravemind tentacles are supposed to have nav points on them, they broke in this release due to me fixing a previous bug where they were sometimes invincible, I'll absolutely fix this for the next release as soon as I get free time), but while it may be a bit defeatist of me to say, please don't expect a professional level product! I'm not a professional game developer or even in a relevant field, and I don't make any money directly from the mod, the only benefit to me being from very kind donators to my Patreon, which while greatly appreciated, is not exactly what I would get for a year of work if I were professional.


This mod is a passion project and a hobby for me, and I do truly want to make as great of an experience for you all as I can, but please remember it is a mod and not a game :) If you get a few hours of fun from it, to be honest, I am happy to have provided that! If you feel it gets dull afterwards, I appreciate the feedback, and if I can I will try to improve it, but I can't ever promise infinite fun forever from my little hobby project :)


I hope I don't come across too defensive or hurt, I'm not lying when I say I appreciate the feedback, but I do notice a tone lately of people expecting a little bit more than I can provide, and I want to set realistic expectations for the future! The mod will continue to get better, and any feedback is good feedback, but I'm not expecting to be a full time paid professional developer with a full team anytime soon! I hope you can forgive me for the occasional bug or underdeveloped feature, and enjoy experience some fresh Halo experiences! :)

You're doing great work, this project has to be one of my, and my friends, favorite mods for Halo.

you made me use several hours of my time to appreciate this mod, how dare you make something this amazing. no but seriously thank you for making this mod up to this point and take all the time you need to advance it further. i personally havent had any issues except wondering how to kill gravemind cause i didnt know you had to shoot the tentacles but still having a blast in overtime

I was just reading through the comments and could not believe how much whining I was seeing. Thank you for all the hard work on this and yet again another fantastic update. I played an earlier release a while ago and just now played v4, you have polished this so much it is honestly mind blowing to me that this sort of thing is community made content. Easily my favorite mod since InfernoPlus' cursed halo!!

@weaver900 I imagine at some point you are gonna have to put this down to rest permanently. Are you considering letting others use your product to continue development?

You've done a wonderful job, and will patiently wait for updates and fixes, thanks for being clairvoyant with the community because this has surely become a personal favorite

You are amazing and this is THE best Halo firefight mod!.
Take all the time you need. This is a fun casual mode.
Everything doesn't need to be tightly balanced like it's multiplayer.

you've already done better than anything 343 has produced. Keep up the good work!

My biggest criticism is that you just never uploaded the newer versions onto nexus, effectively cutting off all microsoft store players from anything past Alpha 8. Not a cool move, man. Gamepass players wants access too.

That said, I'm only mad because your work is absolutely incredible. I want to enjoy this mod with my friends and I just can't because I didn't repurchase a game I got access to automatically by being a GP subscriber.

I'm planning to upload next version to nexus, the only reason the previous version haven't been is because the versions since the last MCC update have had some quite bad bugs, and the MCC update only broke the steam version, not the nexus version, so most of the updates since then are just me trying to get the steam version to work again. :)
