Halo 3 Mods - Diamondback AI Battlefield | Endless War
7With the release of more maps for Halo 3 in the mod tools, I couldn’t resist picking out Diamondback and creating a fun AI war with it! I do apologize for the reduced amount of mods as of late, but I can assure you this one was definitely worth the wait. UNSC and Covenant forces are engaged in an endless conflict for control of this desert canyon. This map introduces the Elites as back in control of the Covenant instead of the Brutes. These guys utilize the H2A design brought into Halo 3 by Ryno.
I have also made some breakthroughs on the code side, enabling more AI control than ever before by the players. Now you guys can enable/disable the spawning of each and every AI squad and vehicle on map via control buttons located in the central cave. There are tons of combinations you guys can experiment with, and more will be added throughout the future with updates. There is also a 3rd faction on this map in the form of Flood Infection Forms - that when enabled - will drop from the central cliffs onto each side. These guys will take over fallen combatants from the battle for an extra amount of chaos if you choose to enable them. See the description thread pinned below for a detailed description of this new system.
I hope you guys have a blast with this map - and as always feel free to let me know what you think in the comments section below!

Known Issues:
- There are no items that can be placed in Forge and there is no budget. I currently do not know how to add items to the palette with the mod tools. As soon as I figure this out, I have plans to add every object used on this level, plus maybe even spawnable AI if I can figure it out.
- The AI sometimes drive their vehicles off of the cliff like fools. Their driving abilities are not the best. I plan to work on improving this in a future update.
