Hologram Battle

Hologram Battle

A Slayer game mode in which casting Hologram puts you in control of the resulting hologram, temporarily leaving your original body behind. Holograms spawn with full health and shields, and extra ammo, and are capable of inflicting damage just like a normal character model. Use them to trick enemies, cover multiple areas with a power weapon, or delay the need to reload during a fight; just be careful not to let your original body die!

Hologram Traits: Player traits applied to playable Holograms. By default, these disable weapon pickup, since weapons dropped by a Hologram (whether on death or when swapping a weapon out) are instantly deleted by the game engine.

Hologram Armor Ability: Holograms don't spawn with an armor ability of their own; here, you can choose whether one is spawned for them. Unfortunately, Holograms can't actually use Hologram unless you have a \. MAP mod, so this option is not offered.

Hologram Grenades: Holograms don't spawn with any grenades; here, you can choose which grenades they should have.

Hologram Death Behavior: Choose whether killing a Hologram causes the owning player to die, or simply return to their original body. Note that committing suicide as a Hologram always results in a "full" death, due to technical limitations.

Caster Death Behavior: Control what happens when you kill a player's real body while they're out and about in a Hologram: is their Hologram killed, too?

Normal Kill Points and Normal Death Points: Points awarded when a player dies while not in control of a Hologram.

Hologram Kill Points and Hologram Death Points: Points awarded when a player dies while in control of a Hologram.

Caster Kill Points and Caster Death Points: Points awarded when a player's original body is killed while they're in control of a Hologram.

How to install

You need to copy the .bin file into your saved game variants folder, which is located here (the exact path varies depending on your internal XUID, or Xbox User ID):

%APPDATA%\..\LocalLow\MCC\LocalFiles\<YOUR_XUID_HERE>\HaloReach\GameType

If that folder does not exist, try saving a game variant or map variant in-game so that the folder is generated. When adding new files, note that the Master Chief Collection only checks this folder once, when you click through the title screen ("Press "). If you add files to this folder after that moment, you will need to fully close and restart the game in order for those files to appear in-game.
