Halo 3 AI Battle Mod on Snowbound: Halo 3 Mod Showcase
238Happy 20th Anniversary to Halo! And happy surprise release day of Halo Infinite! It is wild to see the multiplayer release this early, but we aren't complaining! Welcome to the Endless AI Battle on Snowbound. Last mod was built on the previous mod before that, and this new mod is no different. This mod was made with the learned lessons from the previous AI Battle mods. What we ended up with was an endless AI battle on Snowbound, Master Chiefs favorite map. We continue to push the engine to the limit with this latest mod!

This Halo 3 mod is an endless AI battle. As that implies, the AI will fight indefinitely until you as the player go and trigger the ending sequence in the Flood Infested basement of Snowbound. It features a scripted intro where AI drop into a hot landing zone both via dropships and drop pods!
This mod contains the map in two variations, one is built with the name 050_floodvoi.map to make Halo MCC think the map is Floodgate's mission. This allows the level to be loaded up in campaign and should be playable coop. The map is named as flood gate's map name in order to allow the game to load this map as a campaign mission. That means you will have to replace your floodgate map, named 050_floodvoi.map in the Halo 3 maps folder in "${MCC_INSTALL_LOCATION}/halo3/maps".
The second .map file is a build of the modded map as the multiplayer map, allowing it to be loaded in forge and custom games. I haven't tested this too much, so do report any bugs you may find! This map file needs to be also placed in the Halo 3 maps folder in "${MCC_INSTALL_LOCATION}/halo3/maps" if you want to load this mod in forge/custom games.
After you replace the proper campaign mission, boot up MCC without anticheat enabled and load up the Halo 3 campaign mission Floodgate or the actual Snowbound map, depending on which files you replaced.
343 Industries recently released these mod tools for Halo 3 and Halo 2. They are released as a part of the Halo Master Chief Collection on PC. These tools are incredibly powerful and allow modders to make all sorts of new content. This mod was used to learn more about the Halo scripting system, and how Halo 3's campaign was so awesome. People don't realize this but all the scripts that make up the campaigns of Halo 2 and Halo 3 are available with these tools. People now are able to set up all sorts of AI battles. All sorts of tutorials on how to use the tools have been coming out as well.
As with anything, we could spend countless hours working more and more on this mod, but we are going to put it down and move on to the next Halo 3 modding project. We are going to take the learned lessons from this and apply them to the next mod, making it all the more amazing!
