Classic Grunt Birthday Party

Description
Headshots lead to glorious explosions!
The Grunt Birthday Party skull was introduced in Halo 2, but it looked very different than it does in the MCC. This mod restores the original GBP functionality.

Headshots on all headshotable characters generate a plasma grenade explosion. There is no confetti or cheering.

This mod works independently of the GBP skull, you’ll want to have it disabled for the classic experience. I would have preferred to add a brand new skull, unfortunately this is not something that is possible even with DLL changes.
Differences
  • damage is equivalent to a plasma grenade (classic damage was about 1/4 shield)
  • chains into grenades
  • activated by non-precision weapons
  • allies can set it off
  • doesn't go off more than once
  • doesn't affect heretic leader
  • doesn't affect Commander or Johnson
  • isn't on proper location of flood (elite) corpse
  • destroys flood body in one explosion

Thank you so much for doing this! You don't know how much I've missed the old version of GBP, especially with Sputnik on!

I was hoping someone would make a mod that did this. Mostly I just wish 343 would just add it back as a regular skull and have both versions exist, but this will have to do.

sputnik + grunt bday became a staple for me and my friends that we'd use every time we played coop :)

Hey Vip3rman1520, not sure if this is what you meant, but I can assure you classic H2 GBP affected elites. You could even keep setting the explosion off on the elite commander because he would never die >.< Goofy times were had by all.

awesome, I've missed this

I'm glad they changed it because the elites aren't supposed to be effected at all.
