v1.1 - Play as a Jackal, big story overhaul, objective based, new objectives, player can drive all vehicles, allies can board gunner seat, cutscenes, simulated voice acting. This is just the beginning of a large scale mod development.
Halo: Covenant Edition is getting a complete overhaul. This time, you play as a jackal, and follow a story deep into the Covenant power structure, and ultimately choose which side you want to play. The new Covenant Edition features full cutscenes with impersonated voice acting. The jackal player can drive all vehicles, Covenant allies can board Warthog gunner with you, and there are some Easter eggs to find.
Playing as Jackal changes the dynamic of the game. Health no longer regenerates. Instead, you use a hand-held shield which is held up when you crouch. You must use what you are given, and what you find along the way in order to survive.
The Silent Cartographer is made into two parts: first is beach defense, second is bodyguard and escort to safety. Explore the beaches to find how you can strengthen the defenses of the facility, defeating all the cyborgs before being allowed to go inside and escort your target to safety at the surface. Boss can be found waiting by the Covenant communications box on the platform in front of Shaft A [by the main building entrance] when you complete the two beach objectives. Just go meet up with him to go on to part two.
To install, copy the .map file into your Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps folder.
To run, use the console command "map_name b30-jackal". Console must be enabled through the shortcut path argument "-console"
