• If my Halo 2 NPC SWEPS are installed Citizens will be able to pick up any of the weapons off the ground, and the ammo count in the magazine will match that which was dropped
• Reduced the Ammo type count significantly by consolidating and sharing global ammo types across my Halo SWEPS ( "Needler Rounds" can be used by Halo CE, 2, 3 Needlers, "Magnum Rounds" can be used by Halo CE, 2, 3, ODST Magnums etc. ), hopefully this will remedy any issues with too many ammo types in use
• Grenades now require a "Frag Grenades" ammo type which can be acquired by the Halo SWEPS Grenade crates --> Entities --> Halo Tags

• Objectives will now slow the player down ( Can be disabled in Admin Options )
• Scoped weapons will now display the bullet tracer from the correct position in first person
• Entering vehicles, picking up props ETC. will now correctly descope the player
• Reworked projectiles to smash glass ( if applicable ) and not to cause collision issues with WAC Aircraft
• Disabled headshot damage for the SMG, Silenced SMG etc.
