Today I am pleased to release the long awaited 1.1 update to my first ever mod on the workshop which I released last December. I have rolled back a lot of improvements, optimizations, fixes, cleanup, polish and more learned from my later projects back into this one. This has always been one of my favorite mods for MCC, and I am glad to release a major update today containing the love it deserves. Thanks everyone for playing and I hope you enjoy these changes!


Changelog for Version 1.1:

- Dropship flight paths drastically improved and made to feel more realistic. Phantoms will now perform lined drops, which spread AI out further across the Battlefield to create more randomness and chaos with each encounter. Starting and finishing points also changed to be more realistic.

- Covenant AI squad compositions changed drastically to add many more possibilities for ranks, weapons carried, and AI types deployed.

- Spawn times across the board decreased for less downtime after a squad has been eliminated.

- Phantom Grav Lifts now activate when dropping off AI with it.

- Mongoose passenger now has a greater variety of weapons he/she can spawn with. This will no longer be a Spartan Laser 100% of the time.

- Increased diversity to UNSC squads. Marines and ODST’s will now come in more types, with more diverse gear and ranks.

- Brand new Spartan squad that made its debut in Standoff AI Battlefield added to this map. This team comes with its own Pelican drop.

- The Phantom that drops off the Hunter squad now will deploy 3 hunters instead of 2. Added to counter the addition of the Spartan pair.

- Jackal Phantom drop removed. These guys have been lumped in with the Grunt drop. The new “Light Covenant” drop contains 16 Jackals or Grunts, with gear and types chosen at random.

- Forge budget raised to 6000 to match the no AI version of this map.

- Code side cleanup and optimizations.
