I have made this map of 6-12 hours of modification to make this SP map a real time challenging.
* Couple of extra AIs
* Modified covenants
* Modified floods
* Modified covenant/flood particles
* Level (structures, lights, bolts, ceilings, glasses, walls) designed (replaced original sets) with beautiful HTML5 Color sets.
To give it little extra kick for the challenge, I've made the covenants to be on floods team at the end of the mission to give it a little boost of insane challenge since you're coming to an end.
The Library, a flood infestation home. However, The Covenants has mysteriously found a way into the The Library and gathered some heavy units to search for The Index in order to protect Halo from being destroyed. Covenants has eavesdropped on Chief & Monitors private conversation via 343 Guilty Spark (343 Guilty Spark - Insane Challenge Mod) where they first met in the swamp. The Covenants will not let the chief proceed any further from beyond this point (so will the flood) to retrieve the Index, covenants will find a way to retrieve it themselves and bring it to their beloved prophet (H2). At the of the mission, "The Covenants" decided to sacrifice themselves to work with the floods in order to prevent Cyborg (Chief) from retrieving the Key Index (may notice at the end of the mission).
ADVICE:
* You might want to stay far away from Hunters (since they're aggressively guarding their positions)
* You might want to keep an eye for floods who has rockets (random units)
* Keep an eye out for "Overshields, Camouflage, Ammos, Grenades & Weapons" that can help you proceed
* Take a lot of covers, enemies may appear all over you.
RECOMMENDATION:
This map was made for Halo: CE Single Player Map only.
IMPORTANT:
You should take extra care when dealing with floods using rockets. We know their aims are terrible, but lucky shots can count and can result in an instant death (Heroic/Legendary).
MORE INFO:
There's some things you need to know about before playing this:
* You must be experienced in SP
* You must concentrate & eliminate your targets at any means necessary
* Pick up the SAW for a chance to slay your opponents brutally
* If you are inexperienced/or new with Halo SP missions, this is not recommended to you
* Groups appears in large numbers and are more deadly & can be aggressive
* Most of these covenants are based from Halo 2 Biped Tags, expect funny silence shots (as well as 40% bullet mis-chance).
Note: To give it a training test, use the devmode (console) ^cheat_deathless_player 1^ to see what's changed and what's making this more difficult than the original.
EXTRA INFO:
I did make plenty of changes to the following difficulties:
* Easy
* Normal
* Heroic
However, for the full experience, I strongly recommend:
* Legendary (Which has most of every modification I've worked on)
HOW TO INSTALL & PLAY:
Easiest way to:
1. Place the map "c20.map" into your Halo Custom Edition maps directory
EG 1: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps (64-bit)
EG 2: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps (32-bit)
! <<Always make a backup before pasting the modified SP map just in case of errors>>
! <<I've tested it out, no errors, just clean & ready to play>>
2. Load up Haloce.exe
3. Go to Campaign > The Library > Legendary > Start/OK
If you don't see Campaign on your main menu screen, that's probably because you don't have a custom/modified UI for Halo: CE.
You can download your favorite UI here:
Hce.halomaps.org
Or use this one (recommended & popular):
Hce.halomaps.org (Universal UI)
