Thank you so much for coming back to my mod, I love watching your rundowns on it so much! :D Edit: I didn't actually know juggernauts could hijack the jackrabbit myself haha, it uses warthog hijack animations which I made custom animations for the juggernaut to hijack, so I guess it gave it the ability to hijack both! That's why it's a little floaty :D Edit2: I just want to shout out the other amazing modders that released or sent me tags that were used in the mod, the full credits list is on the Nexus and Steam pages, but in particular Greenknight made that grizzly tag and some of the other Halo Wars vehicle tags, not me :)

[@EVolkswagen]

Really great mod, tons of fun. But I got a question I’d like to ask. What’re the odds of getting a Grizzly? Because I’ve played through your mod several times, and I’ve never seen one. Along with the Hawk, Wolverine, and Scorpion. Never seen any of them. Do the odds increase the higher the wave? Does anything decrease those odds?

[@jasonhendrickson1086]

Best mod ever man, thanks!

[@jasonhendrickson1086]

I love you

[@weaver900]

@@EVolkswagen Yep, your rewards depend on the wave. Grizzlies, Sparrowhawk, Hornet, Scorpion, Falcon and gauss hog are quite rare and can only appear on the final wave of a round :) On Easy and Normal they're also all basically indestructible, so I tried to limit how often you get them haha Wolverine has been cut for now until I can figure out how to stop it from flipping like a tornado whenever a light breeze catches it haha

[@EVolkswagen]

@@weaver900 Okay cool. I’ve seen videos of people playing with these vehicles and I thought I was getting really unlucky or there was some factor changing the odds, but knowing that they only appear on boss waves explains a lot. Thanks for answering.

[@kyleknight9686]

If 343 just worked WITH the Halo modding community on working in a customs browser with Microsoft-endorsed campaigns, they'd spend less money and earn more respect and likely be able to profit more via more add ins that create true value for the Halo experience. THIS is Halo for me, building off of a truly amazing title and kit bashing other games into the mix in a way that feels natural. This is combat evolved in the truest sense. I hope Halo Infinite learns from this.

[@wut-se8hz]

They could but Microsoft wouldn't allow them and not much wouldn't change since several modders are already on the infinite team.

[@tsunderemerc2963]

This mod really lets me live out my fantasy of having a large-scale battle happening. All kinds of allies kitted out with the best weapons and vehicles I could provide for them helping me in the fight, so it starts to feel like a real war, rather than a small skirmish between you and a single squad. It feels good to know that there are allies in the vehicles and whatnot having their own battle halfway across the map while you fight another group of enemies separate from them

[@TheUnrevolutionized]

I've always wanted to play the role of Pelican transport/evac in Halo. Whether it's dropping vehicles, weapons, or even troops into the battlefield.

[@Fuck343]

[@getjiggywithit9248]

Vultures were always my favorite UNSC unit from Halo Wars, and to finally see one outside those games and the sheer power it canonically would have makes me so giddy. The developers of this mod are truly talented for creating something this high quality. It's a shame current Halo games will never get something like this with how 343 and Microsoft treat the series modern day :(

All I ever wanted was a halo RTS/FPS! Take halo wars 1! 4v4 Team would have one commander and 3 playable Spartans or Elite zealots. Be so dope to be in the middle of a halo wars battle as a First person shooter while your buddy is building bases and spawning in stuff

[@catcherinthepie3846]

That would be amazing. I'd pay for that even if it was on gamepass

[@Corneratwar]

@@catcherinthepie3846 I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that! The game is already there! Just take Halo wars 1 and make it a 4v4. UNSC side as soon as you spend 300 credits at a barracks and spawn a spartan one of your team mate spawns in. For the elites they would have to add 3 Elite zealots in the barracks. And boom a FPS/RTS is born! Consoles can handle it now too.

[@thekraken1909]

I guess my problem is that every time we see the idea bounced around of being "just" a marine, or "just" a human, there's never anything to indicate a significant difference between a regular human soldier (ODST or otherwise) versus a Spartan. It was one of my biggest disappointments about ODST. We were promised something tense and different. Just a human, trying to survive the occupied streets of New Mombasa. Instead, we were literally just a Spartan of a different color. The regenerating shields were simply replaced by a "stamina" system. We could still walk, run and jump just like a Spartan. It felt like playing a Halo 3 mod. What I crave for is a more SQUAD-like game set in the Halo universe (that isn't just a mod for SQUAD) in which you're not some powerhouse, but a soft and squishy marine who absolutely needs to rely on support and teamwork to survive. You cannot survive a punchup with a Brute, as he can knock your head clean off with a single flick. Even Grunts would suddenly become dangerous foes to deal with in this scenario, requiring careful consideration of shot placement and cover taken (since plasma weaponry could eventually melt your cover to slag). I would love a game where a Scorpion tank rolling up for support is a moment worth cheering because it means your odds for survival just greatly increased, rather than you optionally shrugging it off and charging the enemy to climb their vehicles and punch them to death. The long and short of it, I'd love a mod balanced around the concept of being a weak, squishy marine who cannot bunnyhop all over and can't carry mounted turrets. A game where you have to rely on skill and teamwork to defeat what is supposed to be a terrifying foe that has been pushing Humanity to the brink. I need that game. Modders, pls.

Different scarab types. Even new maps or events, like boarding bamished vessels, or defending your savana ship from raiding party’s. Imagine fighting a Goliath in a mantis as skimmers, skitterers and hunters and what not try to stop you

[@philippierce3198]

What's sad is that you come off as never had played this mod. First off, the Vulture is just an intro sequence for the first minute of the mod to clear a landing zone, which is explained in the mod dialouge. Then you HAVE to exit during landing to start the actual waves. Secondly, there ARE counters to the Grizzly, it's banshees and Wraiths. This video is supposed to SHOW OFF the capabilities of the Grizzly and was likely played on Normal difficulty to get more content. You will be destroyed quickly on Heroic and Legendary, which would make for a boring video. This is an example of you talking without experience.

[@rambozambo9733]
