While sifting through my maps earlier today, I came across a project I had undertaken back in '09. It consists of Marines, aided by occasional reinforcements, guarding a heavily fortified Blood Gulch base from continuous Covenant assault. It was initially supposed to showcase and test the resiliency of Marine AI as well as Elefant's MAKO Drones, but now I realize it makes for quite an entertaining battle.

Anyway, here's the first 3 or so minutes of the level, the Marines do eventually get overrun but that's after a long time.

It looks pretty fun. Could do with some more vehicles imo though, such as perhaps an entrenched tank :O

looks nice

I don't entirely mean to threadjack, but what happened to Arms Race?

change the marines rate of fire to 0, and they'll hold off much longer, trust me.

That makes them fire way too unrealistically fast and way too erratically. For this I modified certain values in the burst geometry to make them more precise/preserve realism.
