🧠 What’s New in BB2?

This isn’t just a sequel. It’s a full-scale refinement of everything that made the original Bot Bootcamp special—rebuilt in scope of Halo 2's AI mechanics with cleaner scripting points, and old modular backbones used in CE, setting the stage for future expansions within Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

The main campaign will be released November 7th, 2025, containing a few short story mission side quests, along with traditional Easter eggs and challenges. The short story continues after the events of Halo CE, introducing a new faction containing a training simulation facility of their own.

The Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack will be released at a later date in waves. The final wave will include Halo 2 Vista maps. If you have any questions regarding the map packs, please reach out at MCC Bot Boot Camp Project on Discord.
