Uprising - Great Schism - Halo 2 Anniversary Campaign Mission Overhaul

It's back, until the next update breaks it again!

Welcome to Uprising: Great Schism, this mod aims to make Uprising more chaotic and fun by adding a lot more allied A. I. and switching up the weapon spawns of existing A. I. Are you sick of playing the mission Uprising on higher difficulties, only to be stranded on a huge mission with a pitiful number of allies to assist you? Are you sick of being presented with an awesome story sequence involving a Spec Ops Elite and a Zealot, only to watch these proud Sangheili warriors die in their first encounter? Then this is the mod for you! This mod has been tested on Heroic difficulty, and balanced to ensure that encounters are still challenging but there are enough allied A. I. that the usual numbers of casualties are acceptable.

One of the biggest issues with Uprising in the original game, in my opinion, was that it provides the bare-bones for an actual uprising and yet supplies you with a pitiful number of allies to actually make it happen. In total, the original mission only gives the player a maximum of 5 Elites and 5 Grunts, and that is only if the player gets very lucky with A. I. spawns.

Across the Uprising mission, there are several instances of A. I. spawns with an element of luck involved - the game will select one of a possible number of allies to spawn in several sections of the mission, but unfortunately in the original game the potential of this system is limited by the small number of allies in the spawning pool. This mod adds more interesting allies into these spawns, so there is a chance that different types of high-ranking Elites can assist the player.

There are lots of other additions in this mod as well - several unused encounters have been restored, including Drones that drop down from the rafters in one of the corridor rooms. There is now an allied Spectre in the vehicle section which can be filled with Elites. Enraged Hunters will disrupt the Brute lines and help the player march on the Bastion. Lastly, the Bastion itself is guarded by a Brute Packmaster.

FAQ

Q. How many new allies are there?

A. Lots, it's difficult to say for certain because the spawns are influenced by the difficulty as well as an element of luc
