Carrying the ammo box is cursed to me. Also all UNSC weapons in Halo Reach have the ammo value for the ammo box at zero. But due to how it's implemented the game interprets that as +99999 ammo, which refills all weapons to max ammo.
I'm guessing the ammo box gives you ammo on pickup since it said +24. Although you had infinite ammo so it's hard to tell. (It could just be that walking near it restocks your ammo like a normal ammo restock)
That's what I was thinking too, its likely similar to the health pack in that regard. I've not looked too deeply into the Reach modding tools to confirm this but its based on my experience with other games in the franchise, as well as game design in general. One thing that I found common with older studios is there reusing of existing functionality instead of making an entirely new class for a one-off use. From a programming perspective; armour abilities are simply scripts that can be triggered by input to change certain values on the biped who triggered it (invisibility is a true/false flag, hunter/armour-lock is just setting the shield value super high, sprint sets speed to double its original value, etc). You can see the other members of Noble sometimes use multiple armour ability effects in the same mission because the AI is told to trigger them in certain areas (sprint when Carter orders them to double-time, armour lock when a grenade is stuck to them). So for health-packs, it sets the biped's health to its normal maximum value. For the ammo crate, it take's the bipeds two weapons and sets their ammo count slightly higher, I don't think its max though. The health-pack's in game you walk up to and press a button prompt which then plays the effect, while the ammo crate has a trigger radius around it that does the same. My guess here is that General just made the pickups himself, its not uncommon for him to do some light modding to access things that aren't normally accessible like that.
Huh? As far as I remember the camera didn't roll in the Beta. If you modded it onto Spartans then the animation was kinda broken in first person, but the camera never rolled with you. Which I mean makes sense, that would be horribly disorienting.
i love finding things within the files of the mod tools, one thing thats puzzling me is how to change your armour and that without the stand alone crashing
I guess the bubble, which heals you when in the area, is why the health pack equipment wasn't finished. If you can heal while also blocking bullets, why would you go for just the healing? Also that easter egg for evade is hilarious
When you picked up the Ammo Box a +24 appeared over your Ammo Counter for a second. If nothing else caused that then probably the Ammo Box just gives you ammo when you pick it up (you have infinite max ammo so it didn’t have any lasting effect)
I’m not convinced about the Hunter ability. Reason being is that there used to be a bug in the 360 game that allowed you to walk around with Armor Lock activated and it would allow you to push vehicles precisely the same way this does. I think it’s just a broken armor lock and nothing more.
@@Adventist1997 Specifically, if you get a vehicle near them, they'll rush forward and push it out of the way. A prime example being the Revenant on Tip of the Spear. They use their bodies to block against impact from the vehicle and vastly reduce damage in that braced state, hence why it's called Hunter Roadblock
Probably so that non-aggroed hunters don't randomly send sbit flying just by walking around. It'd be kinda weird if a box gets sent to meet the Long Night of Solace because a hunter's toe grazed it while casually strolling about.
It is available in campaign just hard to find just like finding the active camo armor ability in long night of solace. Both abilities are found in campaign but it depends on the yellow elites with the data pads
@@itisfreak actually I'm not wrong I've been playing reach since it came out so I know what I'm talking about but if you want to assume all because you didn't find by all means go ahead but leave room for the people who actually want to know how to find it
@@itisfreak awww maybe because you didn't try hard enough tell me did you try before or after they shut down the multiplayer servers and are you jealous because it seems that you are maybe if you weren't reported so many times you probably would've found it. And test video games as a job so I know a lot more about the game then you do so you can be jealous all you want. If general kidd wants to see me do it he's more than welcome to and if anyone else wants to find out how to do it they can come to me your just trying to be intimidating because your jealous someone found it unlike you
I think halo 4 would have been better if it had more reach ish abilities. The only good one was jetpack The others were not super useful. Reach almost all were useful.
"Wait, How did you get this in Campaign?" Love Bungie Easter Eggs
@Kristijan Lekic345.2 lol all good, thanks! Sometimes typing comments on the phone, I forget to double check!
The Statement about Evade is the type of Charm you get from Bungie! Miss them
This was so cool to see I've always wondered what Bungie had thought for halo reach it's such a unique game

Don't forget evade was also changed because it's fpv, your camera would also roll in early beta
Huh? As far as I remember the camera didn't roll in the Beta. If you modded it onto Spartans then the animation was kinda broken in first person, but the camera never rolled with you.
Which I mean makes sense, that would be horribly disorienting.
I always hated that the camera didn't roll
@@benb9151 that would be absolutely nauseating
Still finding great content from a 12 year old halo game (my first and thus my favourite too). Love your vids!

@Gunn3rdaPHNX you never played halo ODST didnt you?
Its a quote from it
@@FlorenceSlugcat Final chapter of Halo CE
Reach has gotta be one of the literal best games ever
The first elite in the first mission might be using the health pack.
Perhaps Noble Six survived by hiding inside an ammo crate.
I've always wanted a "deployable ammo"
"Ammo here!"
*Proceeds to summon an ammo box inside of himself and suicides*
I guess they ditched the health pack equipment since you gain health from drop shields
waiwhat? Is that a thing?
@@XDLugia yup. that's totally a thing. You can try it on MCC
@@cerjmedia Amazing, I never knew. Will have to try that out. Thanks.
@@XDLugia yeah for sure, Makes sense that you didn't know because it's not very obvious lol
@@cerjmedia That's why it's my go to equipment on legendary!

Same man, been a long while

Id love the hunter push ability in game

Still discovering stuff about reach lmao
What keeps you and your team motivated?
2:42 This reminds me of Left 4 Dead...

Loving the videos. Keep it up man. Subbed since 2016
The ammo locker would make for an epic puzzle mechanic for maps tbh

2:17 I am rather surprised to see you wearing that hideous armor.
Why would they give Hunters a specific ability instead of making it part of them?
For testing purposes. It changes their physics while in use
could be used during some sort of "charging" or "rampaging" animation, maybe?
@@DavidJCobb
Oh... That's probably right. 🤔

Oh how I miss Old Bungie.
LoL walking around with that ammo crate is silly.
Well, you seem to be getting ammo when picking up that ammo crate, so there's that.
Beta version of the drop shield possibly?
It's healing mechanic on pickup packs??
"press x to flip eleph- wait how did you do that?"
Would be cool if they add in some kind of third person mode.
Where was this stuff and that map located in the files?
2:55 it's not armor lock, it's armor walk lol
wow. very insightful commentary
Be really cool to understand why they decided to nix Evade from campaign.

You'll open a portal in time and space

01:05 does that mean i broke the game?...i have had it plenty of times, im not even joking...huh...well thats concerning..
Dude, evade doesn’t exist in campaign
Ammo Box makes your ammo infinite!!! Did you missed it?!
