Halo 3 Mods - Resuscitation AI Battlefield | Endless AI War
3“The Covenant and UNSC are heading out for a major conflict in a familiar gulch. Brace for carnage. Choose your side, select your tactic, and take the fight to the enemy! My addictive AI war sandbox from Halo 2 - reimagined and expanded with the power of Halo 3!”
Coming soon to the Steam Workshop!
Hey there everybody! I am very pleased to be releasing my first ever AI mod on a totally custom made map! First things first - a major thanks to Aerial Dave for his excellent recreation of Halo 2’s Coagulation for Halo 3. It really is a beautiful recreation and a perfect play space for a large scale AI war. That’s where I come in! I have managed to create an extremely fun battle for you guys, based on the popular Halo 2 AI battle I published back in June. That map served as a great inspiration and foundation for this mod, which takes it to a whole new level with H3’s improved engine and tech at my disposal. The result is an awesome AI experience that I know all of you will enjoy! I have packed many varieties of AI infantry and vehicle squads for each team into this map, that you guys can mix and match via my controller button system for hours of AI Battlefield fun! Enjoy!

Tips and items to be aware of:
*Please consider reading the “how to” thread concerning the AI switches pinned above. You will be confused as to their functionality without reading it. Also, please be careful about having too many of the squads enabled at once. This can easily overstress the Halo 3 AI engine, and lead to behavior anomalies with the bots. The H3 engine can only support approximately 45 bots active and alive on map at any given time. If you do see AI starting to act abnormal, you probably overloaded the AI engine. These symptoms include: bots standing still, bots not noticing enemies, bots not pathfinding properly, item visual flickering, orders not being followed, and more. This is only temporary however. As soon as you kill off some of the bots, normal functionality will return. To prevent this from happening again, consider shutting off some of the squads.
**Co-op is NOT supported with this mod. Only the host will see AI behaving properly. On all clients, there will be visual anomalies and desync.
***For players that want to spectate the AI battle and not get involved themselves, I recommend going into both the player and editor traits menu in settings, and setting Camo to the “good camo” setting, so that AI will not pay attention to your player or the editor. Also consider turning on permanent OS and damage invulnerability.
