Project Groundside is a mod that brings first-person combat to Halo Wars, letting players experience the strategy game from the perspective of its units. The project is presented as a proof of concept and is available for PC, not consoles.
Players can choose to respawn as a Marine, Spartan or ODST, with different weapons available for each. Returning to the battlefield costs supplies, a system intended to help balance the mod. Its style draws on Halo: Reach, including weapon models and a sprint mechanic.
The mod also supports driving vehicles such as the Warthog, tank and Falcon, and offers a third-person mode. Another project, Halo: Theater of War, is also mentioned as a first-person Halo Wars crossover, but Project Groundside is described as the main one currently being played.
Project Groundside keeps Halo Wars’ normal gameplay while adding the option to control units directly. The mod’s creators and origins were not clearly established in the source report.
