Big thankyou to everyone who left their suggestions on what the Final Halo MCC Update should be :) Hopefully 343 sees this and considers it.

FIX......... THE...... GODDAM CO-OP CAMPAIGN!!!!!

I’d love for crossplay co-op campaigns or overall co-op fixes

If we get mods on Xbox, then we should be happy for the next 10 halo games

mods for console is my biggest request

all I want is splitscreen support natively on PC. I could be playing mods with my family right now.

end of an era

Final update is kinda sad, what amazing games we had as kids and I absolutely love that MCC was created, I'm still so thankful

Choosing maps in Matchmaking

They need to add the Gúta to Halo Reach firefight and that storage device that carried Cortana as a back cosmetic too.

Top of the priorities should be: Fix Halo 2 classic’s audio (essential) Integrate the original loading screens Fix CE’s cutscene aspect ratio/remove the black bars at 16:9 (like H2 classic) Add a menu music selector Uncap Halo 2’s cutscene animation framerate Integrate the end credits Use the original mission thumbnails Add Reach’s film grain and motion blur (as an option) Fix the Cortana issues with H3’s cutscenes Add CE’s after credit scene (Ruby’s Rebalanced Mod fixed this btw) Add OG Menu backgrounds Add a new intro video reminiscent of the Bungie ones Modded custom games Fix H2A cutscenes on Ultrawide displays Replace Frank with Marty in ODST Preservation of the original games presentation should’ve been 343i’s top priority since day one. And what’s painful is that MCC is so close to being a perfect museum for classic Halo, it just needs a little more work.

Being able to betray a teammate, the betrayer leaves and avoids the ban. Comes back and repeats the process of trolling you, betraying you, team killing you etc.

Console mod support & full campaign cross-play are the main things I need. Then MCC could be the only thing I ever need to play. Matchmaking & anti-cheat adjustments would be nice, too.

I really want to use classic halo backgrounds on Xbox and that can easily be done with mods on console Edit: it’s a very minor thing and I won’t be upset if it doesn’t happen, but I’d also like to be able to view terminals/data pads from all games in the extras screen. It’s just ce’s, 2’s, and 4’s terminals. It’d be cool to view the collectibles from 3, reach, and odst

There’s a ton of achievements that don’t work on pc atm such as getting two designator kills on sword base wiljax bradly and the observe a grizzly scene

MCC is the only online I play anymore and it makes me sad that the player count is really starting to dip. It is old, I know but it still hurts. I really enjoy playing all the different playlists and I haven't been able to find a match in Invasion in well over a year.

I wish I could play the Reach (and others as well) campaing with my friend, he's on console and I'm on Pc

I JUST want to play invasion again, man... I miss it....

Personally a huge problem I still have with MCC is the co-op campaign issues, whether if it’s stability or cross play, that’s still a major thing that needs to be fixed. I’d be happy with that n everything else I want I could live without tbh

All i want is to experience Halo 2 with my friend without fearing that the whole level will crash and we gotta restart.

I need Jorge's red visor for Reach

Make reach so that it actually plays like OG reach by getting rid of insane shield bleedthrough and do an overhaul of the map selecting system so we get the classic forge maps like hemmorage and boneyard on heavies that we never see

Modded custom game browser is the most important thing to me. Not everyone wants to set up a post on social media or join someones discord just to host/join someone playing on a cool modded map. I didn't see it on the condensed list but I'd put that in there.

the cheater problem is getting out of hand halo 2 co op is so broken too but hey its 343 3 steps forward 43 back

Ranked needs an update. Half are dead playlists.

I just want the Digsite crew to finish Halo 2's E3 Demo; it would be a dream come true to play that for me.

My main thing right now is crossplay campaigns. Once we have that, I'll be satisfied.

This is my wishlist in order of fancifulness: • Input-based Campaign time scoring. • Fix the Exchange. • Bring every single map into matchmaking and weigh them evenly. Maybe even spice it up and let us play mismatched maps and games. (ie, playing Chiron or Death Island in Halo 3 or Uplift and Halo Online maps to Halo 4 and Reach - as it seems like you're in for a long wait if you want to play anything that isn't Halo 3 or Reach, especially in BTB) • Reshuffle the competitive playlists (ie: Kick Invasion into Social, introduce a game picker between modes, condense Ranked, incentivize playing ranked with significant extra XP and season points, or, if I may be so bold, ranked-exclusive cosmetics) • Finish the Campaigns so they are exact 100% perfect matches of the originals for faithful game archival - maybe even going as far as adding a toggle between the "upgraded performance" campaigns we have now, and a faithful emulator version that lets you boot the old games, in all their OG UI, 30 FPS glory. • Bring all the out of game cutscenes, live action segments, trailers and promotional material into the extras tab (ie: Nightfall, 5.1 Surround Sound Test, the Hunt the Truth podcast, the infamous H2 cut content scene, blooper reels, Remember Reach, Birth of a Spartan, We Are ODST, The Cortana Letters) • Seed locks, for challenge runs and speedruns (even if it disables achievements. I'm sure Mint would appreciate this one in particular, to be able to fix enemy placements and not have to keep reloading the checkpoint to get desirable spawns for sick clips) • MODS ON CONSOLE. • PROJECT DIGSITE TO CONSOLE. • RESTORED CONTENT TO CONSOLE

What's split-screen doing on top of the main list but nowhere in the condensed list Mint?

The BIGGEST, NUMBER 1 ISSUE is the brutal disconnecting and un-syncing in the COOP campaigns, mainly halo 2, but also halo 1. The lag can mostly be fixed with hamachi, but the disconnecting on Halo 2 PC has to do with an actual bug in the code that as far as I know, not one person has been able to fix. Halo was built on coop campaign, it's a damn shame that one of the main games barely works at all.

Reach Doubles Ranked. Only 4 players are needed.

Something I'd like to have is splitscreen on PC. I find that it's odd that we don't. Some people do use PC's for local play.

after all thats been done it really deserves this as a testimony to the years of work put in so far

I just want Rejected Shotguns mods on console

I agree with everything in the ranked segment! That and the inclusion of every game having its respective ranked playlist! Instead of saturating it with halo 3 many different times. Bring back the crossgame playlists with voting in ranked. Each game should have its own ranked playlist with a variety of classic modes and things like doubles/slayer/snipers/etc. and FFA (which needs to be added PERIOD) can be crossgame ranked playlists. This video is a really good one mint and I agree with pretty much everything in this! Keep it up

Crazy this game has been getting updates for 10 years now

Make it to where party host is ALWAYS master chief for Halo 3 Co-op. Alternatively add a character select to H3. Usually is a fixable/tolerable issue but sometimes not.

I just want the problems with cheaters and hackers to be dealt with.

I'd love for the rest of the campaigns to have crossplay

I'm hoping if MCC comes to Playstation we can get more updates since the game would be generating revenue again

Invasion becoming social would be a dream come true. I wish commendations were a thing like 360 Reach, but that’s entirely unlikely, and that’s okay.

I love seeing the community come together. My only complaint is nobody mentioned, Increase Private Custom Files for Gametypes and Maps. Since the launch of MCC, this has been cap out at 50 for each game, which is outrageous annoying for people who create custom content. So, if someone can add this, it would definitely help out the entire Halo community.

Modded Custom Game Browser and community updated playlists would make this game last so much longer if not basically forever, if they can implement it.

Great idea! I love to see this community be so passionate bout this series.

Fixing ranked is huge for me, we deserve to still be able to find games in these playlists regardless of rank at this point. Anyone who’s still playing accepts that the population is small but it’s incredibly frustrating that we can only pretty much level to 35 and have to make a new account.

The fact that upon pc release, MCC had cross console campaign, then they took it away (except Halo 3 and ODST) and never gave it back, infuriates me. I still can't play campaigns with friends.

I want custom campaign Playlists. They said we could do that in the ViDocs before MCC launched but it never made it to the game... feel like it'd be fun to make your own

343 just get mint blitz in charge of MCC updates.

I want a flood firefight in Halo Reach just like they did in Halo 3: ODST.

The only way, 343 will go back and fix any problems is if the game goes to the PlayStation platform. Other than that I wouldn’t expect any more official updates.

Hey just wanna say love you're content and how focused you are on what content we need and what bugs need to be fixed. Also very good to know to watch out for how bad hackers have gotten in mcc. It's nice to have a voice for all of our concern for the halo franchise. Keep up the good work man. 👍

I love invasion! I hope it gets put on social😢

Cross-platform co-op on all campaigns is probably my number one thing. Was gonna play through all the games chronologically with my buddy on pc only to have a pop up saying Reach doesn’t have cross-platform support. Put an end to that instantly

Once certain affinity is done with what theyre doing rn 343 should give MCC to them so they can completely overhaul/remaster the current mcc.

My biggest hope is that they make Halo 2 classic multiplayer and Halo 2 anniversary multiplayer a separate download. I don't have a lot of storage space, and I want to play Halo 2 multiplayer without it taking up all my storage.

I just hope they listen to all of this. Feels like theres so much more to MCC that can be brought about

Hopefully they see this and make it happen halo community needs some love! Also showed you killing me twice and I gotchu once

Cross play campaign across every Halo is a big one for me. Been waiting to play campaign with friends for well over 2 years.

One thing that ALWAYS bugged me since Reach came to MCC is that getting Wheelman medals (where you drive a warthog or fly a flacon and the gunner gets a kill) don’t go on your service record as an assist like they did in 360 Reach; meanwhile, they do count as assists on your record for the other Halos.

Hate to break it to you but how does it feel reading all of the broken things with MCC knowing it's never going to be fixed?

Ambitious update list... I just want co-op disconnects fixed, rotating playlists and pre game lobbies

After this update playing through halo 2 and reach enemies have been throwing grenades like crazy, and the catch skull isn’t even on. Like just now on reach 5 plasma grenades landed right by me in perfect synchronization. I’m on normal with no skulls and I never had this happen on previous play throughs right before the update, and on multiple games too is wild

For Social, a 6V6 option to make Invasion and Dominion playable would be awesome!

Split screen for PC has to be a thing, so much opportunities for couch coop with mods and campaigns etc

If they do a co-op matchmaking on all campaigns that would bring a lot of core fans back. As well as re vamp the community because your going to get to know some new friends playing whole campaigns online.

The biggest ones for me are the frame rate issues with H2a's campaign (specifically anniversary graphics), and co-op campaign (H3 and later)

Would kill for some ranked updates on MCC.

The Journey has been a Great one. See you on the other side, guys and gals.

I’m glad you’re going to be making a video on this every month but I honestly have zero hope that 343 fixes anything. That said, I still would love to see h2c music fixed, h2 momentum fixed (s8 broke this), and online coop campaign be less laggy for the off host player

Such a passionate community!

My dream of playing Halo 2 with anniversary graphics, original OST and in-game custcenes with anniversary graphics are dead That would he the definitive way of playing Halo 2

We deserve a finished product. MCC should not be inferior to the original titles. Either 343 brings those old titles back online for the sake of preservation, or they do it properly in MCC. They will not have a chance to earn my trust if they fail to do either of the two.

Invasion is actually such a great game mode it’s such a shame you can’t find a game on it. And imagine it on halo infinite, it would actually be so good on that game.

Map voting in pregame lobby. Dont know why this wasnt a feature from the beginning

Game Pass compatibility with the mods on Steam Workshop would be absolutely huge.

you're the only big voice (at least that ik of) repping the mcc, thank you sir

We just need consistent co-op campaign and cross play

Mods for console is a must and has to happen for this game to even be considered finished

Map voting on Reach would be nice. Playing nothing but Forge maps and never really getting vanilla ones really kills the interest

This would be super rare for a game for console to final have mods👏👌

PC Splitscreen

I'm still waiting for MCC multiplayer Bot support. I can't find a match since MCC launched. The base of Asian players is even smaller than that of European and American players. I really hope 343i updates multiplayer Bot support. Even if it's not for Asian players, the servers can be closed for the future and people can continue to play MCC with Multiplayer Bot support.

I just want campaign couch co-op.

I want a final update. And from 343i what a great legacy. To have a game that was dead on arrival to being so successful, so fun, so interesting and a real tribute to Halo as a brand. One final goodbye update as a thanks to the fans that stuck by 343i and still support 343 as a studio that learns from mistakes and rights wrongs

I pray the mcc team moves on to revive H5

Mint I'm so glad that you mentioned the music because for some reason when i was playing halo 2 I couldn't really herar any of the theme songs also another bug that bothers me is changing the main menu backgrounds every time I log in it swaps to the default main menu background hopefully 343 fix these bugs with a massive update.

I want the original grunt birthday party skull effect back in halo 2. All headshots, even on dead bodies, caused plasma grenade explosions. Can add a new skull and call it classic grunt birthday party.

Final update makes me happy just for the fact that I can finally consider updating the game and am not gonna have to wonder if I can spare more hard drive space.

thanks for using my ideas mint!

I really hope for PC to get Server tools similar to HCE or any Valve Source game. Having server tools + a server browser can do wonders to a game even without active development from the original devs.

Mint Blitz a big issue with the MCC custom games is that with the most recent update they made it so the newest player inherits a custom game lobby instead of the longest playing player. It means uninvested noobs who join get promoted when the host leaves. The amount of times I've been playing halo reach custom games and a new guy joins, immediately becomes the host, dies once and then decided to kick the entire lobby is insane.

a playable non-lagfucked campaign is all I want from this game

I read through the list and here's my add ons! *Cosmetics:* - H:R and H2Classic weapon skins. They don't have to be unique. Could just carry over some of the standard recolor ones from CE and 3 like the Seperatist Green/Zealot Gold/Ultra White covie skins, or the corresponding camo patterns that already exist for each UNSC weapon. Brute weapon skins would be nice too for H2/H3/ODST, anything is better than nothing at this point. - Adding back all the previously "limited time only" Exchange unlocks into the Catalogue as a new "Season". 343 isn't making money off of the MCC skins anyway, so the FOMO model doesn't make much sense. Either that or indefinitely rotate the Exchange shop so we're not stuck with the same set of unlocks for an entire year - Enable Multiplayer spartan skins in campaign (toggle-able like weapon skins and campaign scoring currently are) *PVE* - Co-Op matchmaking or browser for Spartan Ops - Turn off Firefight friendly fire in matchmaking, including splatter. ODST suffers most because of teammates killing you with their rockets/firebombs/flamethrower or killing you to hog power weapons. Reach also has griefers who try to get you to splat them so you'll be booted or emp your vehicle. Not exactly the Brothers in Arms experience. - Harsher bad teammate penalty. Moochers have successfully gone AFK without being booted by walking against a wall in spawn while having zero kills (all for the weekly Firefight completion challenge). There's usually one of these fellas per session. People will also intentionally die to drain all team lives, usually by self-nading/cliff diving/running into covenant without shooting. - More maps in H:R Firefight like Anchor 9, Boardwalk, Spire, Highlands. I know there are some Workshop mods that already do this, but making it official would be nice. - turn off radar jamming properties of the Active Camo armor ability. It serves no purpose in PVE other than to annoy your teammates in rounds without Fog on - Lower despawn rate for Power weapons even more, especially ones from the Weapon Drop pods or ones the player has picked up. For instance, if I stash the Target Locator by spawn for easier access, it should still be there by the boss round. Maybe have a no-despawn zone in player spawn or something, I dunno. - Try not having Phantoms drop right on top of the generator in Generator Defense. - Either more starting ammo or randomized enemy weapons in Fiestafight. Reach's version sucks after initial spawn. After you use up your ammo, you're mostly stuck with the enemy's standard small arms (plasma pistol, plasma repeaters, etc).

HUD for a while was only widescreen across all games except Halo 1 and Halo 2. Full screen resolutions the HUD remained wide, and thus was scaled to fit the sides, but not remain near the top and bottom of the view making it too intrusive to the FOV. There was an update that fixed Reach and H4's HUDs. But Halo 3, ODST, and H2AMultiplayer still have this issue.

An easy way to fix ranked population is to incentivize players to play (not win) ranked modes. Change the current weekly challenge from win two ranked games to PLAY two ranked games. Also rotate the time limited ranked modes like halo 3 recon slayer and add new ranked modes like ranked swat. Also adding in match composer would help alot.

THEY ACTUALLY LISTENED

Crossplay campaign, and mods for console is all I want

Give all playlists that were limited time as a perma, give us a ton more forge items including covenant ones. Introduce the cut weapons. Cut designs, dialogue etc as options. Give us the ability to record our own voices or add voice files for forge. Improve Halo CE so it less looks and acts like Gearbox. Give us the ability to forge with other game assets such as the Halo 2 Scarab, cut version of it etc. Or allow curated mods to become a permanent stay in Halo MCC this wont take away from workshop however it adds more and brings the franchise into our own hands.

I wish that when you first started up mcc you chose you’re halo and then the home page and armory were like the original halo you chose as if it was just that halo you were playing just because of the nostalgia that would bring me

I know it probably won't happen, but Full Offline Bot Support for every mode (Multiplayer and Singleplayer) for every game.
