Changelogs
Version 0.7
Updated to fix first person weapon animations (thanks to finish_buster_ and CognitivePancake on the Halo Mods subreddit for making me notice and helping me fix this issue, respectively)
If you're like me and prefer playing as the Arbiter to Master Chief, then this mod is for you.
Features
Play as the Arbiter in every campaign level
Enemies and allies refer to you properly (please let me know if you've encountered any instances where this is not true)
Slightly modified initial loadouts on some levels relative to the Arbiter in coop
Master Chief replaces the Arbiter as your ally... sort of
Known Issues
Master Chief starts with the Arbiter's weapons as an NPC
Master Chief's AI is a bit... odd, making his usefulness as an ally pretty hit or miss (mostly miss)
Mission dialogue refers to the Arbiter as Master Chief (not planned to be fixed since doing so would require entirely new audio files)
Cutscenes are the single player variant and show the Master Chief instead of the Arbiter
Mod Installation
Simply replace the files in the maps directory of your Halo 3 installation (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\halo3\maps by default). I recommend backing up the original files first so you don't have to redownload them when playing multiplayer or completing challenges or achievements.
