Premise

Have you ever played the Halo 3 Campaign and thought that it was lacking in something? Ever felt that the marines were indolent idiots because they weren't shown at their full potential? Have you wanted to see more Elites vs. Brutes fights? Well look no further. ITT, you will find out how to organize the biggest UNSC+Covey Separatist vs. Covey Loyalist battle in this game.

This ultimate collection and the potential battles that ensue take place on The Covenant.

It is 95% customizable and controllable. Once the marines and Elites are out of a vehicle, they will not move so you can position them wherever you want. You can also have Arby in this battle and there is a machine gun turret you can get and give him.

As for the Brutes, they will gather at the third lookout tower. If you go to the Hornets, they will try to go to the light bridge area, but most of them will be killed off by the game. Blame Bungie.

[If you want the biggest Covey Loyalist gathering, go to The Storm, 52 Covies]


Tutorial:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4 [Coming soon]
Part 5 [Coming soon]
Part 6 [Coming soon]

Written tutorial [Work in progress]


Collections:

28 marines:
-2 marines/pilots/ODSTs brought on Hornet
-6 marines + 1 marine sergeant at the rally point bravo area
-2 marines spawn in teleported vehicles (mongoose, warthog) driver seat's if the vehicles are left behind at the third tower area
-2 marines spawn in a gauss warthog dropped off by a Pelican (if the previous hog has been destroyed) or spawn in teleported hog
-1 marine spawns in teleported Scorpion tank
-2 secret marines
-4 Hornet pilots
-2 marines from gauss warthog dropped off by a Pelican if the previous hog has been destroyed
-6 marines (from the gauss warthogs that would have spawned during the Scarab battle) that you can obtain if you deload the vehicles

Currently unobtainable:
-2 marines spawn in a Mongoose (if the previous Mongoose has been destroyed). If you can get the vehicle to flip and destroy it without killing the exited marines, you can get 30 marines. I suspect you'll have to use the spartan laser. But this is just speculation.

10 Elites:
-5 Elites spawned from Separatist Phantoms
-1 Arby retained via two Arby's glitch
-2 Elites released from third Separatist Phantom
-2 invincible Elites spawn on a high ledge only if you deload the vehicles.

20 Brutes:
-4 Brutes in first Prowler
-2 Brutes
-1 War Chieftain
-8 Brutes from 2 Prowlers
-2 Brutes spawned with Wraith
-1 Brute Captain
-2 Brutes

Currently unobtainable:
-2 Brute Captains in the first and second lookout tower respectively. It's possible to get them off the tower, but I don't know about their scripting/if they are willing to join the others. I think it is possible to bring them to the third lookout tower by getting them to board the Scorpion or Wraith.

NOTE: you won't be able to have all of the Brutes with the marines and Elites

Possible/plausible total for battles:

16 marines
7 Elites
1 Arbiter
19 Brutes
1 War Chieftain

44 npcs

Maximum allies total for battles (how many allies you can have with at least 1 enemy alive):

28 marines
9 Elites
1 Arbiter
2 Brutes
1 War Chieftain

41 npcs

Potential total for battles (I'll be investigating a work around for Bungie's little killing spree after completing the tutorial):

30 marines
10 Elites
22 Brutes

62 npcs

I have videos that should be sufficient. Besides, I want to show the finished product after the tutorial. ;)

On a side note, I may have been wrong about the Brute total. It might be 21, because there might be a third Brute at the third lookout tower.

Well I'll be damned.

Nowise10 told me how to hex mod vehicles in multiplayer (i.e. have 4 wraiths when the limit is 2), which I was going to use in my Valhalla Blood Gulch remake but I gave up on it. I'm indebted to him which is why I haven't unsubscribed from him despite my disgust with Reach.

Yeah, I don't kid around.

You can do alot of interesting stuff with Reach's Independent AI system. If I was you I would give it another shot.

Ok, I'll give Reach another shot, but in 3 days; my hard drive got taken away as part of a "test" to see if I'll berserk without Halo 3.

But the Reach Demo hinders me because there's no save option, no skulls, and my video capture device can only record for 1 hour max. If you want to see better quality Reach material from me, I'm going to have to buy Reach, which will probably take me several months.

Great!

And I also have a side note which I forgot to mention in the op:

Destroying the Shade turrets will trigger the Brute movement. Destroying the first one causes them to move into the cave beneath the second lookout tower. Destroying the next two causes them to go to the third lookout tower.

I'll update it later.
