I was in the initial design for the gravemind fight in Halo 3. You were going to be on a Scarab fighting off the flood with Cortana controlling it and finally using it to fight off and open up opportunities for the chief to end up killing it with various weapons like the Spartan laser and rocket launcher. Cortana ended up making the final deathblow by using the scarabs head cannon to kill it. We had to cut it for time.
That's awesome! A lot of those scripts are actually accessible in the H3EK still, but the device_machines and actual level geometry (if there even was any) are missing. Still a dream of mine to finish that mission one day :D
Thank you so much for playing mod again, it's so awesome to see you make a full video on it! I hope you had fun! :D I just released a new update that adds Tartarus, the Covenant Prophets, the Heretic Leader and 343 Guilty Spark as bosses, as well as H2A model updates for everything and Halo Wars 1 and 2 vehicles by Green Knight! :D
Shame the gravemind glitched out at the end, it happens if he tries to play his death animation while he's already playing the "emerge from the ground" animation. I'll try to fix it soon! :)
So first and foremost thank you for making this amazing mod it is alot of fun. Is the Mantis usable in this because I have done 70+ rounds in it and never got it to appear as a reward.
@@weaver900 got a cool idea for you’re mod any chance you could make the H2A Brutes Berserk like they do in Halo 2 when do loose a H2A Brute ally. I played another Halo 3 mod where you have too save Johnson and the creator got the brutes too berserk like Halo 2 s Brutes. Awesome mod btw I completed all the Boss Fights you’re mod was the first mod I ever played on MCC It was a blast and its my favourite Mod on MCC.
Oh yeah, and you were totally right, the Cortana thing you saw was the start of an easter egg hunt that only one person has figured out so far, it unlocks something amazing!
I wanna say that this mod is actually amazing. I’ve been trying the updates as they’ve been releasing for a while now and I’m impressed. I want an official Firefight mode that’s like this
I actually want to see all of the prometheans come back in halo. They are interesting and make perfect sense to fight the flood. 343 made some very challenging enemies but used them wrong. Some slight changes and understanding how they fit into combat, 343 could actually do well with them. Story wise they should only appear when the flood come back. So they can do their actual job killing the flood and then any possible biomass.
This is an amazing what if scenario...and I agree a fight against Didact would've been so much more cathartic of an ending for H4 (Halo had not done any good boss fights at the time). However, I'm kind of glad the Gravemind never got a fight. It had defeated "fleets of thousands". It just makes me feel that if it was possible for me as a lowly human to kill it (even as John) it would've actually pulled away from the power of the Gravemind and how ungodly strong it truly was
The weapon you are thinking of is the An-94. It is a real weapon designed by the Soviet Union for its mechanized crews to have to defend themselves with. The idea is that each trigger pull will fire a hyperburst of 2 shots for greater chance to kill, also the recoil is only felt when the second bullet is fired, due to a very complex system of recoil and pulleys.
2 things: 1: the reason the Gravemind froze like that when you killed him is *I think* because you killed him during his breaching animation with froze it. 2: the on screen HUD is from halo infinite, I think. I loved this, can we see more of it in the future?
The people who made ultimate fire fight sand trap made a early beta map they are currently working on; you play as the banished and have similar win reward choices fighting on a flood infested area with active flood spores at the enemy spawn the game host plays as a brute the 2nd player becomes a jackal or skirmisher and the other two are elites they also have armored gutas from reach it’s incredibly underrated but it is fun
Hey, that was my Spartan used as the AI Partner! Guess my Spartan's name is now Gerard Way. Glad you chose my edgy character for this Mod, and be sure to check out the new 5.0 update at some point down the line!
The Charlie woooooo sent me lol. The lore is deep with this mod. Absolutely great mod. S+ tier content and mod. Loved seeing all merged and something we fantasized about.
Iconic video! Luc, I’d argue that a 2-round burst is more efficient than a 3-round burst because it’s a good way to get two shots immediately on a target while saving ammo in the long run. The AN-94 is a great example of a 2-round burst weapon that can get two shots in the same spot, more or less, which benefits the user, especially if they’re untrained. It also benefits from having an insanely high cyclic rate when firing its 2-round hyper burst. In defense of 3-round burst, it’s a great way to get a high volume of fire in accurate bursts
The plasma caster bit had me dying. The geniva convention fading in was perfect. Also someone needs to on check on jega. I think the Geneva convention says something about stabbing someone in the back with a laser sword
You would think 343 and gaming companies would pay attention to things like this and take aspects that players love from mods and put them into the game. Like actually fighting a gravemind in an actual halo games story would be amazing. Or even adding details like that into firefight options. I think that would help keep fans interested with the fan service and enjoyment.
It is actually based on the pulse carbine! I was going to try to make it with a custom model, but didn't get chance so it just uses the storm rifle model with yellow shaders. The Storm Rifle is also in this mod in it's classic blue :D
Hol up. so you are saying it is like the pulse carbine but you are just using the storm rifle model. as a place holder or the official design. Plz tell me.
@@CloneCommander5929 Yep that's exactly right, the yellow storm rifle was going to be a placeholder while I got around to hacking together a custom model for it like the plasma caster, but I never got around to it :) It fires tracking burst shots like the Infinite Pulse Carbine :)
I've been talking about for a few years how I would go about a flood return or even a none cannon game just centered around a flood infestation from the pov of different characters like marines, odst, Spartans or even civilians
The 2-shot burst on that CoD rifle is based off of the real-world AN-94. The reason why it's a 2-shot burst is due to the complex recoil system built into the gun, it's design allows both shots to be fired before the shooter is affected by the recoil of the first shot.
"Okay we're in a big desert and... wait, a big hole in the ground with tentacles coming out of it and dragging me down? And barbed mouthhooks? OMG it's a Sarlacc pit! But that's not Halo, that's Star Wars! WTF is going on???"
Honestly, I would absolutely die to have. This as an actual game mode I would just say see if they could pay the mod creator for his mod and make it a built-in feature of Halo MCC. But at the same point it not being officially a mode might be beneficial because it can be updated when we want it.
The two-round burst you were talking about from Advanced Warfare was the MP443 Grach pistol. Which is to date the only weapon in CoD to be two-round burst by default, and only of only three weapons that can do it at all.
I think a cool idea for the companion feature would be being able to choose from your different games’ multiplayer Spartans. Don’t know how hard that would be, but it would be badass
Looks astonishing, hopefully MCC will get a steam workshop set up at some point so you can simply download these mods and have them instantly installed, this is beyond insane. Weldone weaver, you know how to make firefight fucking awesome!
^GreenKnight's mods are insane and I'm really thankful to be able to use their tags in Ultimate Firefight :D They definitely are gamechanging and worth checking out if you ever try the mod again!
That’s awesome they added the juggernaut it is definitely my favorite flood form such a shame it was cut from main game but this mod is super cool I like it a lot thank you
Personally I hate modding Halo, but this one mod, I'd give an exception to. Getting to fight Gravemind is something I've always wanted to do, which I'm sure is true for everyone.
Wow! This mod alone makes me want to consider getting MCC on my pc! Why is this so much cooler than anything 343 has put out in recent years? It’s such a simple concept, but only executed by a modder, not the actual devs. It makes me feel like a kid again seeing stuff like this. Pure imagination at its finest! An official mode like this could bring Halo back in a big way!!!
It's cooler than anything 343 has put out because thats the nature of fan created content such as mods, bound to be better than what is finally allowed to release since who knows more about what the fans want, than the fans themselves
AN 94 is a limited run AR that has a 2 shot mode in real life, the goal of it was to improve the hit probability of the average soldier. Idea being to fire a second round before the recoil affects the user, making it more likely for 2 shots to hit the target than just one (this is important for body armour penetration). It did its job as intended, but was not really adopted as the internal mechanisms that allowed it to this meant it was complicated/expensive to manufacture, and would make it hard to train soldiers to dismantle it in the field for cleaning, making unsuitable for general service.
Thank you so much! :D I've worked really hard on it over the last 6 months, people finally seeing the result of my work is so satisfying and I can't thank hiddenxperia and others that have uploaded videos of it enough for helping me get exposure! :D
That was awesome!! The gravemind fight reminded me of the Ark Aberration bossfight of Rockwell where you destroy mutated tentacles to attack the REAL boss!!
Global launch for Marvel Snap was on October 18th so you can download the game right now using my link here: www.inflcr.co/SHFBg #ad
Top Halo Boss Fights we with we have. Also in the future, will we have about Zo Resken, the Prophet of Clarity?

15:03 a flood wraith?? That is so cool to see something like that outside of Halo Wars
Halo Wars content should really be featured more in main line halo games. They had some really cool designs and gameplay mechanics
Luc giving us more Halo Halloween content than 343 lol
a seasonal event in a live service game???? don't be silly
Not sure what game youre reffering to. Infinite was dropped already from production.

They should do something like this for every halo game
Wait John “soap” Mactavish! How
@@saint7189 I time traveled to 2552
If only we had firefight with Infinite bosses...
@@johnsoapmactavish9196 oh
You are giving too much credit to 343 to launch a finished product that would work
This mod is spectacular! It’s so cool seeing elements from every halo come together and it was awesome to see the boss fights!
When the didact started talking in combat all I could think of was harbinger in me2 going "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL"
18:24 my favourite part of the Revival soundtrack. So epic.
Ngl the Gravemind boss fight was so cool and creative, this mod is like a dream come true for firefight fans.
14:53 legit me whenever I play halo wars. I don't care how long it takes. I will build my army while vibing to the ambience and music.
This is an amazing what if scenario...and I agree a fight against Didact would've been so much more cathartic of an ending for H4 (Halo had not done any good boss fights at the time). However, I'm kind of glad the Gravemind never got a fight. It had defeated "fleets of thousands". It just makes me feel that if it was possible for me as a lowly human to kill it (even as John) it would've actually pulled away from the power of the Gravemind and how ungodly strong it truly was
the srcabs in halo 3 were amazing boss fights
18:15 had me dying 😂😂“OMG that 180! we got FaZe Didactic over here”
Gonna tell me kids this was the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

Best gun in bad company 2
Or the G11 by HK firing caseless ammunition and burst fire with 3 rounds, only after which the recoil was transmitted
It should change from "A Hero is down" to "I'M NOOOOOT OOOOOOKAAAAAY"
2 things:
1: the reason the Gravemind froze like that when you killed him is *I think* because you killed him during his breaching animation with froze it.
2: the on screen HUD is from halo infinite, I think.

Already done friend :) Tartarus, the Prophets, the Heretic Leader and 343 Guilty Spark have been added to the newest update!
Bruh the smooth criminal part made me piss myself a little 😂
19:06 these are the types of lore I came to your channel for, I seriously did not know that.
The day/night cycle is a freaking awesome addition. I also love the Elite "Have no fear! I will cover the rear! Hahahaha!!"

A fellow RTS man who likes to build his army. Respect
Absolutely wailing on the Didact with a Sticky Det and a Missile Pod on Sandtrap ... It feels so wrong, yet so right at the same time.
I've been talking about for a few years how I would go about a flood return or even a none cannon game just centered around a flood infestation from the pov of different characters like marines, odst, Spartans or even civilians
I love the flood content it’s my favorite kind of videos ❤
Truly, this is one of the mods of all time
Wish there was a friendly Swords of Sanghelios Hunter pair as a reward
The Elites aren't using the brute jump pack they're using their halo reach jetpack
2:46 I don't know how it would work, exactly, but I'd like to see an official game sort of like that. Same for the weapons, vehicles, equipment etc.
This is Amazing cant wait to play this mod one looks so much fun and the gravemind looks absolutly sick 🔥 happy halloween
Leave it for the Halo community to make the best fire fight mode ever, This is amazing!

I’ve learned so much about Halo from you, great content. Keep up the awesome job
Modders are the only thing keeping Halo Alive 343 can do something like this if they add firefight to infinite but it’s unlikely that will ever happen
Which is stupid as halo infinite having fire fight would actually make tons of sense for the story
@@TySaysHi It would be fun if they turned the humans last stand at the Reverie into a firefight map
Not really considering the fact that most people play Halo on console and console players don't have access to mods
