DESCRIPTION:
A "mini level" reimagining of the beginning of the second level of Halo 2, Outskirts, in the Halo 3 engine.
(2-Player co-op should work, but 3-4 players might turn into Elites! WORT WORT WORT!)

ABOUT THIS PROJECT:
I've been playing around with this project for a couple years now, using it as a "learning" level, as I got familiar with the Halo 3 Editing Kit. Originally, it was the entire level---but it was built with duck tape and hot glue---so I recreated the first area and polished it up with everything I've learned over the last couple of years.

FEATURES:
- Custom/modified weapon sounds
- Custom/modified character textures
- Additional/ported weapons thanks to Hi, Weaver, and several others!
- H2A Master Chief model, thanks to Kashiiera!
- Weapon Bloom for weapons imported from Halo: Reach
- Adjusted health/shield values for enemies and player.
- Halo 5 shield sound effects (it just sounds so nice!)
- Skirmishers! Watch out below!
- New Jackal textures, giving them a mix of their Halo 3 and Halo CE appearances!
- Imported H2 Dialogue
- Custom Voice Overs (by yours truly!)
- Really pretty lights and steam from plasma bombardments.
- More stuff I probably forgot about (ADHD is a jerk!)
- Birbs!

FINISH THE FI---LEVEL?
At this time, I have no plans on completing the rest of the Outskirts level. I'm not saying it's not on the table, but I've got a few other mod projects and teams that I'm working with that have to take priority! If this version gets enough interest, I'll definitely reconsider doing the rest of it!

NEXT PROJECT
I'm working on a Halo 3 Firefight script and I'll probably release a test version using a variation of this level for it (probably set during the morning/day to differentiate them!)

FEEDBACK
As always, I can't improve as a modder unless I get feedback! Feel free to leave constructive criticism and comments and let me know what I need to work on, what you enjoyed, and what I can do better next time (or in future updates!) Thank you! :)
