Campaign Evolved Retuned

Overview

Retuned is a chaotic gameplay overhaul of Campaign Evolved that draws inspiration from the series, as well as DOOM and Quake. Embrace the chaos of Halo's combat dance with improved enemy reactivity, a rebalanced arsenal, smoother movement and no more hit-stun!

Retuned Mission Tweaks for The Pillar of Autumn and Halo have been added as optional downloads.

Play them with the Retuned mod, or with the default balancing; the choice is yours!

Version 0. 5:

- Spiker rebalance completed (very strong vs health, weaker vs shields, dropoff over range)

- Plasma Grenade impact damage modified to stagger on attach

- Needler impact damage slightly increased (still weaker than default)

- Brute Health slightly increased from version 0. 1, which was a bit over-nerfed (still lower than default)

- Brute AI changed to prefer sticking in packs

- Modified AI for Brute Plasma Rifle (more aggressive than the Plasma Rifle)

- Modified AI for the Spiker (long bursts, take cover)

- Grunt rebalance completed (a little squishier overall)

- Jackal Shield Detonation damage increased to reliably kill the wielder

- Jackal Major shield health increased to offset the guaranteed kill

- Plasma Pistol Charge Bolt tracking is slightly worse, make it easier to dodge

- Plasma Pistol Charge Bolt Damage reduced (still kills Grunt Minor in 1 hit)

- Sniper Rifle headshot bonus (shielded) increased (can now kill Elite Officer with 1 shot)

- Rocket Launcher acceleration decreased (max speed unaffected)

- Assault Rifle AI modified to make Marines a little less powerful (they were too good)

- Marine AI modified to be more likely to evade explosives

- Marine AI for Battle Rifles has been modified (more accurate but more time aiming)

- Williams AI for Battle Rifles has been modified (slightly more 'shooty' than Marines)

- Battle Rifles added to Assault Rifles spawns on missions with Battle Rifles (lower chance)

Version 0. 4:

- Assault Rifle accuracy tightened significantly from August 17 update

- Assault Rifle damage slightly increased (to compensate for small loss of accuracy)

- Banshee Dual Cannons damage decreased (it was horrible to fight, and enemies do not have magically less/more damage in this mod)

- Jackal rebalance completed

-- Jackal Shields now turn off when killed, but can be detonated with enough damage (a lot easier with plasma weapons)

- Vehicle health system rebalance completed (vehicles can now regen up to 50% health, which is implemented in a similar way to Halo 3)

- Wraith Anti-Infantry turret can now fire slightly longer per overheat

- Needle Rifle AI adjusted to be more accurate (in version 0. 3, they would miss far too often)

- Plasma Pistol AI adjusted to be more aggressive at range

- Plasma Pistol uncharged bolt damage increased

- Grenade Vehicle Boarding damage increased (seems fine now)

- SMG damage increased at close range

- Sword melee attacks (Lunge and Melee) damage slightly increased

- Spirit Dropship turret can now be disabled by damage (not destroyed, since effects will not play)

Scenario edits now included as an optional download!

Version 0. 3:

- Assault Rifle damage slightly increased (it was a bit too weak vs shields before)

- Warthog reduced overall drift unless engaging the drift function

- Wraith rework completed (still slow, but is slightly more maneuverable and faster firing)

-- Wraith consumes less boost (helpful to avoid danger better)

-- Wraith turn rate increased

- Banshee Rework completed (slightly slower than version 0. 2, mostly to fix AI, but also more powerful)

-- Overall movement is faster than default

-- Boost speed is a lot faster, but is consumed more quickly (useful for quick retreats)

-- Movement penalty for flying up has been removed entirely

-- Movement bonus for flying down has been reduced, but is still noticeable

-- Trick frequency has been reduced to encourage strafing runs

-- Dual Cannons are very powerful but have limited range

-- Dual Cannons now stagger enemies when dealing damage to Health (can stun targets)

-- Banshee Bomb projectile is now heavier, making it ideal for bombing runs, but harder to use vs aircraft

-- Banshee Bomb damage has been shifted to deal more damage on impact, but also has a larger radius (more damage overall now)[/sp
