understandable then, still a good mod, but the lack of proper third person hinders it for me, but i love the concept still.

MaîtreZen, this is not an easy question to answer. This mod was at first developed for original Xbox, where third person was done using a trainer. The camera seems to work for the Grunt, but not the Jackal. Either way, the way MCC sets up third person as a check in the weap tag, I don't know how to fix the camera, as well third person breaks the zoom on precision weapons. The Plasma Pistol is a precision weapon because the bolt speed has been significantly increased, and still offers a choice to use a Covenant pistol in 1st person. Secondly, the Jackal's story is meant to fit a first-person game. It kinda breaks the story.

As a compromise, the Assault Rifle, the Shotgun, the Plasma Rifle, and the Needler are third person. I do understand the need to see the Jackal Player in third person though, to understand how he uses the shield since it's not visible in first person. I apologise, but I just don't know what to do else.

Third person when ?

Thank you, VexxedDragon, I poured my heart into this mod.

I dont give a FUCK what people say about you. I love Scroopy Noopers. 10/10. Best mod ever.

Attention everyone: I have solved the problem of Two Betrayals cutscene. The cutscene and gameplay have now been split into two separate levels.

Kennizard, use the Ghost skull, it removes the stun animation

Is this as easy as the videos make it look? The stun lock on marines seems to make covie campaigns seem very easy.

Sporticus, I need to look into it

Is there a way to edit the binds for the third person view? Or at least edit the camera angle/position?

This was a very fun mod. Very well made! Not much to say, but I love other perspectives, so this was right up my alley. Excellent work!

Yeaa that took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out while i was playing

Awesome mod tho, really liking it

A Dogwork Orange, 3rd person is weapon specific. Precision weapons remain first person.

Why is changing the camera angle the same button as swapping weapons?

pretty good right until those talking bits happen. the story is fine but it legit takes longer to sit through all the talking than to play the levels on legendary. fine until about level 5-6 where the talking just takes over. funny deus ex memes though

Oh, small thing. On The Maw Scroopy's body type isn't the same as the earlier missions. He's got the sail instead of the snail.

In regards to the escort section the main issues are thus: Scroopy runs ahead and stands in front of a gun barrel until he breathes lead instead of methane, and this necessitates the player to be aggressive before Scroopy can catch up in the first place. Which on its own isn't a problem, but having that long reset from checkpoint to combat was draining. His health isn't really the issue as much as his choice of when to move and where to stop.
Moving past that, Two Betrayals dialogue goes on for an extended amount of time. I like some exposition and lore, but the amount of time spent just locked in place is not great. If it was cut down to maybe a minute it would be more tolerable, but having to read each line or else miss the story when there is so much to read through is just tiring.

Delta Maple Cake, I can look into the balance in that area. I know what you are talking about, Scroopy already got a health and intelligence boost for this reason. Remember, this is a body health only game, it is meant to be very difficult.

So I've gotten to the escort mission, and keeping Snoopy Nooper alive isn't the hard part, it's keeping myself alive. But I'm at a particularly long stretch of walking around to get to a battle, and dying in that battle (which happens often) just sucks all the fun out of the level by making me have to walk around for a couple minutes just to get back to where I died. I enjoy how hectic some of the fights are, but sometimes I wonder why the groupings have covenant - human - covenant in an odd pocket. Like specifically the double ramp with the drop in the center, and the four hunters at the top of the ramps. It's annoying to have shotgun ODSTs mingled between everything else at the top of the ramp where they can just blow my head open.

Anniversary version didn't have first-person hands. It's only on ModDB for historical reasons. There's a lite version which plays on original Xbox.

I also saw in modDB your mod jackal covenant campaign with image under the anniversary version i guess either the anniversary version didn't work well or the classic version was less complicated to modified.

Finished the kig-yar mod today and the end make sad when realizing we have so few mod to play as them i enjoyed the time spend in the mod as kig-yar even is the classic graphic version the adventure was great and unique fun and good the story of scroopy and your kig-yar being friend was really touching i hope in the very far future we could play the kig-yar once again..perhaps a episode two of scroopy and the kig-yar in halo 2 or a prequel of the kig-yar and scroopy in halo reach. but then again i do hope we have more opportunity to play as the kig-yar since mod playable mod are just for the sangheili.

ps: if you have trouble to kill the g-man in library you have to find the computer console around the path you walk they look like the covenant box computer terminal with antenna in top then once most of them destroy the g man won't be anymore immortal and if you want kill him good you can use the needler it seem useful that way.

Rahotekh, thank you for the comment. This mod has been in development for years. I am looking forward to the future when I can say this game is no longer beta and polished up. Either that or I might make a Grunt Rebellion using Blender. The only downfall is that I based my cutscene style off The Great Infestation, and they can not be skipped.

If i can say thank you for making a playable kig-yar campaign since most of playable jackal mod i have see are all old and outdated i saw one in nexus where you can play as kig-yar in halo reach campaign but since the mod is outdated and assembly tool is bad it was very hard to find a playable kig-yar mod and only yours mod was the savior since everything else does not work now they are all outdated so again thanks to make a playable kig-yar for us

You need Halo 1 campaign and multiplayer installed to play Halo 1 mods.

Question, when I try to play this mod, I just end up stuck in a loading screen for the first mission. Is there anything I can do to fix that?

No, because they use a subtitle system that is hidden during the cutscene skip script. I'm sorry, we're still working on it.

Can we still not skip cut scenes?

Plasma Rifles, Needlers, and Assault Rifles are now 3rd person, need to work on the camera still.

Thank you, T3485mmFlamethrower, I will begin immediately. We're going to release the firefight maps for Grunt Edition as well soon. Working on it...

in assembly or guirella, decompress the map, then click a weapon and find the third person tag which was finally added to hce and h2. do it for each weapon.

I think if you can unlock console commands for MCC there's a third person camera mode. I'll look into it.

Can you make this 3rd person? that would make it so much more awesome!

BLLURRCERATUS, thank you for the constructive criticism. We are looking into the cutscene problem. I'd like to skip it as well.

not trying to be mean about the lore of this mod, but I can't deal with how a single mission has more standing around cutscene dialogue than the entire vanilla game. Standing around talking might work for shows like red vs Blue, but you can listen to what they're saying and it's a comedy. if you apply the standing and talking thing to a videogame, it just gets so boring.

The Elite Campaign was made by a different author. I highly recommend it, please subscribe to it if you love playing as Covenant. It is a 6 out of 5 star mod imo. Much much better than mine.

they have a grunt one but no elite one

Anyway we can play this as an elite, or any of the covenant for that matter in third person?

second mission is broken, need to kill 3 spartans but only 2 spawn soooo

gave the mod a try and I'd like to say it's pretty good and fun to play however 2 flaws were really killing the fun. The first wasn't that bad but still annoying, the 2-3 second delay in throwing grenades. The second was what killed the mod for my friends and I. The second is the checkpoints, we only play on legendary and when u die, not only do you have to walk back but you now have to sit through the same UNSKIPPABLE cutscenes over and over.

There are hidden regenerating health spots if you can find them...

This mod is body health only, a very difficult mod.

Can you provide a little more description with your description? I know you're a jackal but that's it... what does your mod add, what does it change, what maps have been included in mod. Please fill out the description so we know what to expect.

From what I've noticed with the shield it seems to mostly just be damage reduction and not negation. The bar doesn't do anything for me and never goes down, shield seems to always be up it just takes some damage off. When standing up and not crouching, the effect still plays but damage is higher.

Came here to play halo
I wasn't expecting a metal gear solid plot with it

@CL3NR c2, the shield bar does work, you mostly see it work when taking damage from plasma weapons. Try to sweep from left to right when fighting enemies, the shield is on the third-person animations.
