Halo Wars vehicles AI test

Finally figured out how to hook up AI and create path-finding. Took me a good bit to get the Falcata to fly around and shoot things correctly. It's still not perfect and could use a lot of polish but for now I can make vehicles fight each other.

[@xXBarthXx]

This is like the simulated battles you see in the background of the Reach campaign, but it's a legit (and more epic) battle now!

[@slvrcobra1337]

Those were more detailed than I thought they were at first, yeah they're a bunch of low-poly models driving around in circles but they actually blow up when they get hit by enemy fire, and theres a cool part on Tip of the Spear where Longswords hit a row of Scarabs in a bombing run and you can see the UNSC's tanks move up afterward. I thought that was neat.

[@GeorgeMazur29]

Oh hey it’s the Bolloxed of the Halo Community

[@loganmeurer8116]

Literally how hard would it have been for infinite 343? HOW HARD??? JUST ONE nostalgic giant halo battle, PLEASE.

[@vietnamesenoodle3280]

Wrong‼️ MORE 20 dollah skins 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@TheCannibalPizza]

​@@vietnamesenoodle3280they should bring back the blue shader for $10, truly the pinnacle of halo 🙏

[@bigboysdotcom745]

Xboxes and most PCs wouldve crawled to a halt and the AI wouldve looked more ridiculous than it does already, also a complete lack of coherent game design, this is essentially spawning NPCs on garrys mod to fight each other, much less a full proper setpiece most people come to expect from modern games Also I thought halo infinite was a good game? Nobody could stop hyping the campaign after release. Gamers can't make up their minds.

[@VIMANAAA]

Seriously dude Halo needs a full scale warfare game mode

[@TehCakeIzALie1]

Instead over the entire campaign we got maybe two wraiths that disappear if you stop looking at them and a 30-second tank run where the tank is the worst possible pick. And the marines can't drive vehicles.

you are making the dreams of so many young halo players come true today. nobody could have imagined that it would actually be possible to make halo wars but with the player on the ground

[@stevemc6010]

all those UNSC aircraft really makes me want to see that Halo Starfighter game realized....

[@imahaloguy]

You spoil us with the frequency of uploads! I think you should add the Reach Anti-Air Wraith tag that "NSixNick the Suppressor Guy" released a few months ago!

I’ve been a life long Halo fan ever since CE. I NEED a Halo game just likes this. Halo wars but you can actively participate in First Person View.

[@nickjackify]

Halo Wars 3 looking great nowadays! 👍

[@MichaelBailee]

Thanks for sharing the rad views! Thanks for bringing this scene to life. It's the kind of potential that should've been tapped into officially as much as 12 years ago. From things said by Josh Holmes about executives during 4's development, it really seems like no one ever sat down and properly looked at the IP they have, which is sad when one is being paid to think about games all day. Here's hoping Pierre has better circumstances.

[@stephtros9029]

THIS is what i imagine Halo Infinite was going to be like, MORE things, MORE Items, MORE Vehicles, MORE guns, MORE everything! can you imagine this but on infinite level engine????

[@Bi9Clapper]

A flyable Hawk in a mainline Halo has been my dream ever since the first Halo Wars. This stuff looks amazing man. Mk.4 looks incredible in Reach engine

[@LockeLynx]

THR SPARROWHAWK IS AMAZING!

[@joshsmith6995]

I really appreciate that it looks just like Halo Wars 1 and not 2. Halo Wars 2 looks great but its too clean I think.

[@kalui96]

These comments prove to me the fandom has never left Halo, despite all the negative press

[@anidiot2284]

Halo is a masterpiece, I’m planning of writing my own version of the show because it’s literally impossible to make something worse. (Writing my own version as in how would I interpret and alt timeline of halo) I’m thinking starting with the events of the beginning of both contact harvest and the fall of reach to start off in the early 2500s and late 2490s and the end would be around H3 time in 2552/ early 2553.

[@Miniman15]

Hey man im going to college for animation/ game art and man i aspire to create something as cool and passionate driven as this. Thank you for not letting halo die

[@rafifthesecond9023]

The level of micro management on display for each unit is insane

Man the mcc needs mod support on Xbox, this is simply amazing

[@pokapoka3686]

@@jancevaughn8539 bu-, but they can't do that in wars 2!!!!

They don’t have the upper launchers as well… at least they’re a thing now

[@everythingsalright1121]

I'd love to see the super units like the Vulture and Condor added. I love me some gunships

[@hellsverg2063]

The potential of this is almost unlimited! Hope to see more sandbox expansion of this. Awesome!

[@nobudarsai9675]

[@SpartanJess]

This is absolutely incredible! I'm so looking forward to what experiences you make! A true Halo Wars 3!

[@343killedhalo4]

remaking halo wars 1 in halo reach is like the only thing ive ever wanted. its crazy its actually happening. mod creators like this are why the halo community is thriving despite 343s best efforts to destroy it.

[@Unseen_Halo]

Bro is grinding! Love seeing everything you're doing!

[@MiamiPapi]

Imagine a Halo Wars 3 where the spartans are controllable like in Reach but also the commander.

[@GrumpyMann]

Would you look at that. 343 tried selling Mark V for the price of an in-universe suit of mjolnir instead of giving us what we wanted so the fans are doing it themselves.

[@nfsfanAndrew]

Need the grizzly tanks, vulture, and condor.

[@grievousmarkv]

The arena walls make me think of mechassault

[@343killedhalo4]

He is, the mod god

[@HamalgamUB]

this is awesome you're doing a lot of work

[@EusisLandale]

I really wish the mext halo wars was literally this

[@shred1894]

Cool, but the Wolverines need to prioritize air targets while the hawks need to prioritize ground targets.

[@MYTHGUNDAM]

Imagine an hybrid RTS-FPS, where a player manages the base and the macro units, and other players are fighting on the ground using the resources and defenses provided by the base manager and even some ai units supporting them. Ground players find the enemy base and tell the base manager to send ai units. Or the base manager send you a tank and ai soldiers to follow you. That would be epic

[@spyderleeo858]

Take my money!

[@montypython5521]

There's games like that. One called silica in Early access right now. I was thinking I need to learn to mod to make a halo mod for it when it's done.

[@spyderleeo858]

@montypython5521 thanks for sharing the info brother, love the username, the holy grail was one of my favorites growing up!

[@wackyt.bobcat7576]

i am a new halo fan and i love to see this

[@stephtros9029]

WE HAVE HOPE OH MY GOD LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@PersonnamedJeck]

Man, I wish you patience and luck. Modding and coding can be painful.

[@ZeDitto3]

Consider giving some of the vehicles particular abilities to distinguish their playstyle even more. Maybe some vehicles get energy shields that can recover like the Sabre. Maybe some get one energy shield that doesn't recover. Maybe a vehicle could get a bubble shield that deploys stationarily. Like for the one that goes really fast but can VTOL. If you can tell that you're getting missile locked, you can stop, drop a shield manually and wait inside. Deploying cover in the air could be cool to play with. Maybe another could have a sort of bubble shield that is a different color, moves with you and can deflect tracking rockets and sticky plasma, but not rapid fire. One vehicle could move kind of slowly but have an extremely short and absurdly fast boost. Cloaking could be cool for some vehicles. Maybe one could have a sort of armor lock. I don't know if this kind of thing is possible but I thought I'm spit balling here because injecting some distinguishing abilities could help better define playstyles and roles and facilitate strategy. These vehicle mods can often feel like a game of smashing action figures together with no real strategy involved. You've done some good work with the Longsword bombing picture. If you can do that I'd assume that attaching armor abilities to vehicles is also within the realm of possibility and those assets are already in game. I hope some of the vehicles are also able to flip and do cool maneuvers like Banshees and Sabres. I don't know much about coding with some limited experience using python in Skyrim but this is often how I thought about my mods where I'd take the in game assets and scramble them up to do what I could in my limited capacity, so that's where I'm thinking from. They say that if you want to learn coding then you should have a simple project in mind and if anyone hasn't already figured out armor abilities on vehicles, then maybe I should whip out the hacker goggles and give it a stab. Edit: A wombat with hologram would be SICK

Halo 3 Banshee in Reach, that's odd to see.

[@kriegertechpriest7011]

Sparrows could use a little work, wolverines need some more tweaking to better target air craft, but I aint got nothing else to critic. Think you could do something like the AA wraiths do?

[@GucciPasta]

CALLING ALL UNITS

[@HolyG.23]

Now this, is epic

[@_nukeohio]

Very good

[@WokeDEMOCRATShaveASPD]

Of all the things I miss of halo modding…it’s these kinds of vids/channels. I followed halo modding since the start and watched a lot of gamecheat13 Also I’ve been throwing this out for a little bit. Could you port the spirit of fire map from halo wars? The one where you have to defend the top of your ship.

[@4realm8rusirius]

*ALL UNITS*

[@marklaidler2783]

This is looking so close to what I’ve wanted out of Halo for years, with next-gen tech THIS is what 343 should’ve been pushing towards, not bare open worlds or pretty graphics but with meh textures.

[@LateNightHalo]

Infinite has really good textures, the issue is the lighting is pretty last-Gen and so it makes the models and textures look a lot worse than they really are

[@forwardtsender8573]

​@@LateNightHaloAnd lighting is the tough part to get right. The messy development probably made things worse than they needed to be.

[@dantesinferno5555]

Awesome

[@RyanCR3000Omega19]

BRO THAT IS COOL AS FECK Please tell me you plan on making a Locust

[@noblephantasms7250]

Maybe the Falcata could use the Sabre AI?

[@Sidera_]

This is so cool. Are the bases just scaled up versions from Wars?

[@spyderleeo858]

I believe he created then, or had help from other community members. Not quite sure tho.

[@Designation6]

Is it possible to have the units prioritize targets? Say Vamps go for aircraft, Hawks for vehicles, etc

[@TheCannibalPizza]

Have you considered adding some hw2 vehicles like mantis/colossus/kodiak?

[@falkonsrt6000]

This is what the hamo franchise should have gone to instead of halo 4

[@TheRealTarieSaunders]

Just amazing! Is their anyway I can play this?

[@Spartan-A239]

😂 So: A Command and Conquer style game (the original idea for Halo), Changed into a fps (normal Halo), Changed in a Command & Conquer style game (Halo Wars) Changed into an fps (this mod) Ps great mod, how can I get this mod?

[@Ryukkii]

Infinite turning the UNSC into lazy bums that literally stand next to vehicles. Instead of actually driving around with a chance of encountering a battle like this is criminal. Really Amazing what mods can do , kinda sad to see 343 fans lash out at mods for being PC only even though mods are literally evolving Halo.

[@guardianoftexas5188]

I want to know how you have time to do textures on the halo wars fire base cause I don’t got the patience at all. I even try to import some models from halo wars into Roblox so I can have fun playing around in them. But Roblox importing fucking sucks and it’s not easy to patch holes and shit and get meshes right. Lmao.

[@Sickles985]

Please tell me you are releasing this mod on steam
