Halo 3 Armory Evolved Campaign

A small mod that aims to make 2 of the most iconic UNSC weapons feel more like their counterparts in CE.

Features: 

The Assault Rifle now uses the Battle Rifle's firing effects for a heavier caliber rifle sound and more pronounced muzzle flash. It's projectiles were given some damage properties of the Battle Rifle's ammunition. This gives the rifle more stopping power, but still doesnt overshadow the BR at mid-long range and precision.

The Magnum has its projectile's damage increased from 15 to 25, and now has a 2x zoom function. This allows for better utility at medium range to take out a few small enemies or one large enemy with a few shots, but the accuracy was not altered, meaning the BR is better at longer ranges and counter-sniping. It also has a range finder and elevation reader, as well as an in scope ammo counter, since the scope is ported from the Sniper Rifle.

Both have higher overall ammo capacity, but unchanged magazine capacity. This was done to allow you to play around with the weapons more, and be more in line with CE capacity, without having unpolished HUD elements.

Currently the mod only supports campaign.
