MCC GAMEPLAY LETS GO

I wish MCC was still supported

The only reason why people are jumping on MCC instead of Infinite is because there’s tons of content. Just like if the full game of Halo 5 was released on PC with Cross Play turned on with console players. People would definitely jump on their because there's tons of content that Halo Infinite just doesn't have.

I would love for MCC to go to Playstation and the new Switch. The population could use a boost and it would bring in additional revenue to fund more updates. Even something as small as playlist updates would be welcome lmao

I think Space Marine 2 will fill in the gap for Halo for me in the foreseeable future

Great video as usual buddy! As a creator from Asia, I can confirm that PlayStation has dominated our continent. Quite frankly I think Asia is a key market that 343/Microsoft REALLY need to tap into. A continent of over 4.5 BILLION people can really boost interest in the franchise if they play their cards right.

In some ways yes, but I technically never left the MCC. I just took breaks from the MCC to play Infinite then went right back to the MCC.

😅

Snorlax. Also mod support for mcc on Xbox should happen, it'd be a ton a fun and make me want to replay all the older games again.

I fucking hope so. Will finally be able to speed up match making lol

You should try out xdefiant fam! Its really fun arcade arena shooter 6v6 objective game modes and its basically if cod and overwatch had baby. It’s really fun and refreshing and has no sbmm or eomm. Game is really fun, I’m sure people would love to hear your take on the game.

Mods man.

ik me and my friends have ... a long time ago lol long before "10 month season" and "match XP beta" was a thing lmao

I personally have been playing a lot more MCC than infinite over the last few months. The switch to operations kinda killed my attitude towards the game. I’m also trying to grind max rank in MCC and I’m much closer in that game than I am in infinite.

Mods are super great on MCC just played Halo CE rebalanced and Halo 2 uncut and now starting odst mythic mod!

I feel really burnt out on Xbox, I have fears that it’s going to shutdown, I’m not excited about the showcase, and I have fears that it will get worse, there’s a red Xbox logo that I fear because it reminds me of the red ring of death from Xbox 360!😰

If Mcc gets announced for PS at the event in a couple weeks i just hope that means they go back to working on Mcc until the next game is out, have Mcc be the bridge game again with a huge new player base to work with and continue support with that. There's still plenty they can do and people want from Mcc. I would honestly prefer more Mcc content instead of them just shitting out Infinite events. Do these last couple confirmed events for Infinite and maybe one last big hurrah update and call it good imo.

I wish both MCC and Infinite can go to Playstation XD

If people are going back to halo mcc maybe they should resume support for mcc

I’m diggin the background soundtrack 😮‍💨👌

🎉 welcome back

Infinite had a lot of good ideas.

Absolutely

Damn, I need to jump back on MCC as I've not been on in a while. Hopefully H3 BTB still has a lot of players XD

I'll hit MCC every now and then but I do really like Infinite. I'm an average player and Firefight is my thing at the moment.

Mint blitz put out a video yesterday saying MCC has higher numbers on pc but overall infinite has a lot more players and it isn't close. Granted infinite is F2p

Halo fans have it made 😢 meanwhile Gears of War fans is just sitting in the dark

I haven't left MCC. 4000 people is redonkulous.

Snorlax!

I personally wouldn't call it bungee vs 343, what that 343 was trying to be so different from bunzy they got rid of the fundamental aspects that made Halo a household name and fun to play the pre and post game lobbies proximity voice chat and veto are specifically what made Halo what it was then. With the pre and post game lobbies gives you the ability to socialize and show off your armor what's the point to calling these armored cores epic and rare when no one can't even see that unless they look at the individual armor pieces on their end on their free time 🤦🏾 And in the same breath they remove proximity voice chat making it the least sociable Halo and you have to manually turn on open mic just to communicate with your players. I personally never cared for the competitive scene and especially the Esports so if they focus on those two aspects they're easily going to lose me and probably a lot of casuals 🤷🏾‍♂️

while, id rather not have the xbox die, for nastalgia reasons, and for well, competition is really fucking good for an industry. You absolutely do not want a monopoly in an industry. Thats what happened in the 70's with the video game crash. But that being said, I do think it would be better for the game for halo to go multiplatform. i dont even think the numbers would double, i think the mcc would have the first few months numbers. though, i think it would drop just like how it did a month after the game came out, just because well, lets face it. These games are old man, people just dont want to play old games. the newest game on the mcc is over 10 years old. the game isn't dead, its not like you cant get a game. but if you are doing something that is more niche, like trying to get an oddball game, or CTF or whatever stuff that isn't popular. then yeah, you will have a harder time getting a game, but thats when you put something in the background.

Yes, me

MCC buddy

I can barely find a match in mcc

Theres way more than 4 thousand playong infinite and mcc. Its closer to 40000 at peak when you include xbox numbers.

Why we lying bro 🤦‍♂️

The game started to lose players back in the middle of Season 2

The network re-work made things worse and i know people who have left over that.

😴LAX ✈️

Tbh i went to Eldewrito/ halo online

Short answer, no. Long answer: There's a large quantity of speedrunners and people doing, as you mentioned, "re-playing campaign". Why Halo Infinite lost players: There's nothing to play/no content. Contrary to this belief of "seasons", that is not content. People who stuck around, did so for Ranked Arena until they were bored, of which has seen (again) another grey remake, of which is one of the more recent maps to date and is (again) less of a fun map to play. Needless to say, no amount of "social", "casual", "cosmetic", or "community" can bring players back to a game, when they had zero interest in any (and I mean any) of those things to begin with. How to bring people back to Halo Infinite: You gravitate the focus around the core FPS audience of Halo, that definitively means a more competitive focused audience, targeting multiple ranked playlists, not one (and certainly not 'social'), you make the Skill Rank the Progression solution (and the exp solution is required to tie into this after, determining it's critical to have a high skill rank to max your exp rank), and you focus around balanced, fair and equal competition with skill being the determination of a win, not luck, not "imbalance for fun", or whatever the community thinks (which has pushed millions away from these games). June 9th. What to expect: - Halo Infinite's "future"; Consolidating "social" into a singular playlist, a Social Match Composure, thus permitting that "this is the only location for community". - Halo Infinite's "future", A move and shift toward Competitive FPS, and the roots of Halo's matchmaking dynasty from 2004 - 2010, with a focus on skill rank and ranked playlists, not social. - Evolution of Tatanka revealed, which is in Infinite's Engine (as it always was), as this holds a soft reboot & name change for the entry, providing "infinite" as the game for the social matches. - Halo's Spinoff Campaign, done in Unreal Engine with partners at Epic, not following the Chief, but instead an ODST story. Not a multiplayer game (in traditional Halo multiplayer sense). Expect that spinoff to be the game going to PlayStation, as it's already clearly established that Master Chief is the brand of Xbox, thus they would never put Chief on any other platform that isn't owned by Microsoft. You should expect the same for Cortana. MCC is sunset in later development. I suspect the only reason people "think this" is because they're puzzled around why 343 would make a new Halo game to release it on another platform, when the reality is: "Because the TV show". The typical market for a PlayStation game isn't a competitive one, it's traditionally non-competitive, third person, action-oriented Role-Playing Cinematic games, usually tailored around graphical and texture quality. None of this is traditionally "Halo", and Halo would require a more realistic approach to make it popular on this platform. This is where Unreal Engine comes into play. But it won't just launch on PlayStation. Epic Games Store is another large target for Microsoft post that acquisition. As obvious, CoD has the ending showcase because what 343 has to show isn't something that requires "in depth" showing. This isn't "the next Halo". The one is a spinoff, the other is the evolution of where we are today (as a soft reboot) to bring players back to a once beloved highly competitive fps, turned into a "casual shooter" because community brought it there. If no one, besides a few thousand people, enjoy such antics as "causal social shooter" (something Halo never was), then unfortunately that means "In order to get people back, you have to be a game that the broader audience wants to play". Come back on June 9th to yell at me if I'm wrong. Here's my typical rant section. As the problem that exists in the Halo Community is that they're oblivious, usually to common sense. What was Halo's role as an FPS in the past? Nostalgia is one hell of a drug, especially if you're nostalgic for a time before you were required to even do Home Work. Halo 2 paved the way, not just for Social Connectivity with and against other players, creating friends and various networking constructs, but for the FPS Genre in general. Halo 2 pioneered "skill" matchmaking into FPS games, along with Skill Rank for "visible sbmm" matching & skill progression. Halo 2 pioneered how every developer works with "esports" organizers, and Halo 2 paved the literal way for Competitive FPS games, from communication, to social networking, to matchmaking and game balance. These introductions in "Social" features became standard on the Xbox 360, and Xbox wanted Halo to reword their "Training" nomenclature to "Social" in order to adhere to the same semantics. Halo's "Social" was, indeed, a place where looser skill matchmaking existed, but that doesn't mean "no sbmm" (Halo created this in the FPS Space). You only matched within a parameter of skill, and your skill was defined per playlist. Halo 3 pioneered the entry by introducing a map level editor, something other FPS had that Halo introduced. Halo 3 introduced a new structure for separating playlists based on their serious level. Ranked for low stakes competition (8 playlists) Social for no stakes competition. (4 - 6 playlists) Hardcore for tournament level competition in low stakes format (numerous playlists here too, 2 - 4 on average) For comparison, Halo 2's playlist structure was like Halo Infinite. Except, 14 of the 16 playlists were ranked on average, with some playlists shifting to unranked, or being added later as unranked. Halo was never, and I repeat, never popular as anything the "community" has wanted. A large problem with this narrative is that it goes against youtuber content creation, and thus people dislike hearing this, however if Halo Infinite was going to be successful as a social game, it would have been at least 30 times by now. But it wasn't going to be...since the nostalgia bait wasn't geared toward Zoomers. It was geared toward people now 30+ years of age, who are grinding Valorant or Counterstrike 2, or apex/fortnite/r6/ow, what-have-you every so often in order to rank up their skill level with friends. Halo was the "Skill" game. It required you to shoot with a precision weapon, when no other game had precision weapons as default starting weapons. It required you to use decision making across the game, not "choose easy weapon and press button". It required teamwork and independent problem solving to tackle complex situations that feel impossible to get out of, including coming back from a 1-flag CTF when you were spawn killed a dozen times by the enemy team. Halo was "the" competitive shooter. Halo Infinite is symbolic as to why you can't have primarily a "casual" Halo game, and expect it to do well. But we already knew this. From Halo Reach. From Halo 4. And we learned this from Halo 5. But 343 didn't do it because they thought it would be profitable. they did it for "the community". Turns out, the community didn't even want what the community thought they wanted. Go figure?

sprint makes no sense in any halo, and we know this because every map that gets remade is enlarged to make up for the increase in speed. halo NEEDS to go back to the old "youre already sprinting" idea

Mcc has always been better I think that 343 is a horrible gaming company and they made the fin franchise into sweaty to tournys Halo Mcc is best!

they really just need to shut down mcc servers as well as infinite servers and port halo 5 to pc and lets live like kings

I honestly don't believe more than 4k people across the board are playing infinite. Halo Infinite is beyond dead.
