#Mods for halo reach mod

It's good to make players think by adding new challenges but turning halo reach into gears of war 1 is obviously not the idea here. And either reduced or remove the movement inhibition effect on spiker rounds. The new variety of weapons and vehicles, the familiar design scheme for the covenant mixed with new variants of them (the phantom hunters), the serious and flatter colour scheme for the UNSC as well as adding AI Spartans to accompany you amidst combat as well as keeping them unique among the other units by allowing them to not only have an overshield and more accurate firing patterns but including the mount & destruction mechanic that the player is all too familiar with really shows the charm of the mod.Д«ut these few things REALLY need to be addressed: Tweak stats and mechanics for the covenant (Brutes are ridiculously powerful with their improved defense, headshots being disabled and added overshields to common brutes) (Elite overshields are absurdly powerful, even fighting a elite major feels like you're attacking an vanilla ultra or a general and often times are only worth fighting if you have a plasma pistol or heavy dmr), draw back the range on the flamer, give it a closer fall off distance for example.

and despite these large flaws, the mod is really really good. I'm not saying to nerf enemies or put spawn locations back to normal obviously, that'd ruin the point of the mod. Even on low difficulties such as normal, Elite's are just insanely powerful and force you into a cover to cover playstyle simply because of how much damage they throw at you and how much they can take before dying themselves. An elite major for example taking 3 shells from a fuel rod cannon in order to kill. I've also found that the amount of enemies shoved against the player in most areas is overwhelming and ruins the gameplay considering the buff to their stats as well as their accuracy. They simply have too much stopping power towards the player to give a fun challenge to the player whilst also having movement inhibiting traits. Also, the spiker weapons (the brute shotgun and the mulcher specifically) should not reduce your movement speed.

In fact, it's quite odd that it even made it into a public version of the mod the way it currently is. A flamethrower with not only high dps but crazy burst damage and absurd range is something that just doesn't belong anywhere. I could understand dying often due to a rushing brute with a flamer but they don't even have to be near you to kill you with them. the flamer being the most unpolished and broken among them. There was even a problem on 'New Alexandria' that caused me to restart the entire mission because a civilian with a shotgun killed me immediately as a checkpoint had triggered and aside from that, the AI for civilians seemed to go unedited as they charged into covenant forces only to be gunned down before I could even kill two brutes due to their massive health pools and overshields.Д«rutes are ridiculously tanky in Prometheus and have some of the most powerful weapons I've seen from any campaign based mods. I'd often find myself moving to change cover or swap vehicles only to be shot by a teammate or ran over by one. Not to mention that the mod is advertised (along with the other very well done content) as a buff to AI and units in general but only seems to really improve on covenant units and AI. There were several situations where I had to skip encounters just to progress purely because there were too many enemies to kill and I'd nearly instantly die each time I took a quick moment to peek and fire. Despite the review I watched praising this mod for how it changes up the halo reach experience and turns it (aesthetically) into something more akin to combat evolved's style, and despite the extremely interesting weapons it introduces into the sandbox Prometheus is undeniably unpolished and unbalanced.
