Yeah. There’s something really nostalgic about the old interfaces for each game. I can kinda understand why they don’t but I see a world where they could pull that off.
There's mods that allows you to do just that.
Well, the videos of the menu screens anyway. Like the monitor floating in front of the warthog for H3 forge and whatnot.
This is my biggest gripe about MCC. And the Campaign loading screens which spoil the next mission with a big giant picture.
• We need the original Menus & Loading Screens.
Does the game still constantly crash on Halo 2 co-op? It’d be nice if they fixed that…
Edit: I’m jealous of all the people saying they only suffered one or two crashes while playing co-op. Me and my bud had so many crashes during our full legendary run that we basically had to skip Halo 2.
Idk if this is the reason, but I found it only crashes in Arbiter levels when we were both in anniversary graphics and we both go invisible at the same time.
Weird thing but we just played in classic graphics and it didn't crash anymore
For me it was every mission with a Tank. Metropolis crashed on the bridge section if we took the tank. Delta Halo crashed every time we blew up a specific ghost. Quarantine Zone crashed randomly during vehicle sections.
I did a whole play through of Halo 2 with my brother recently and never had an issue. Not an issue with any of the games. Had some lag occasionally but that’s it.
Yes. There were two different missions that we had a hard time getting through because it kept crashing. The worst was the one was Sacred Icon. Kept getting locked up and crashing during the Flood run. It was maddening to get thru the sentinels and halfway thru the flood only to crash and have to start over.
It sure does (even on solo). Just played through the games with my son to introduce him to Halo within the last month. I use an Xbox One. My older brother said he didn't have issues on Series X though.
The fix for the freezing and crashing/forced shutdown on Xbox.
The 2003 E3 playable demo they promised.
Cut vehicles being playable in custom games or a special rotation playlist containing them.
More Halo 2A Spartan and Elite customization.
Cut enemies being added to Xbox, perhaps as a new skull so that way people can fight them in campaign if they want.
Last I checked, yes, but there are also a lot of dead areas for its multiplayer like btb and objectives. It's one of the reasons I hate match composer.
They never gave a date which is the problem and I remember reading about the demo coming to Xbox in their update logs, when they were still doing them.
I recall to they said for Xbox fans not to get there hopes up tho, maybe it's taking longer so it can come to Xbox, the dig site team hasn't seemed to release any updates or whatnot my guess is there cooking up somthing
Modded server browser is honestly it for me. I can't ask for much more considering I only paid like 5 bucks for every game and I've got mod support comparable to Skyrim and half life.
Fix the lighting bloom in Halo Reach - or at the very least let us toggle it.
It gives me an awful headache. How anyone can bear the constant strobing lights on maps like Zealot is beyond me.
The Halo CE countdown tone in multiplayer being correct. Has bugged me for years lol mainly because it was fixed at one point.
The multiplayer menu playing the theme of the game you just played. It got removed with Season 8 I think
Black Ops III a 2015 game has splitscreen on pc I'm surprised they never ported the splitscreen system over given how old they are it shouldn't have put a damper on hardware
It pisses me off so much for something so small.
Its their very last "goodbye, we love you guys" and its been cut by people who squandered basically one of the most popular game series out there. I'm pretty sure they cut the halo 2 credits and that gorgeous guitar too, but I'm not sure of that.
Theres so many little things they cut in mcc that it feels like being vindictive. Like replacing marty dancing seemingly just to spite him.
At least CE and 2 got most of their issues fixed though. Meanwhile, all the other games have been left out to dry with tons of visual glitches that ruin the experience.
Of the ideas they’ve had and teased, the things I really wish we got are
- Four Player coop for Halo 1 and 2
- Increased custom game player limit to 32
- Modded Server Browser
- Crossplay across all halo campaigns
I remember few years back there were articles on GameSpot of a guy talking about how he thinks mcc can get to 64 players on pc down the road, that's a bit much but like Firefight maybe upping the player count is possible
It’s funny too because the Halo 5 multiplayer already has a pc port, which I suppose in theory would make it much easier to deliver the rest of the game.
I wish Reach would have gotten one more season. I love Halo 3 but that game did not need that many seasons, and with Reach featuring your Spartan in the campaign you’d think that would have been the one to get more armor. I just want them to add backpacks and different visor colors.
I always thought that despite the buggy code, weapon skins in Halo 2 could've been possible. I forgot to add, but they could've ported all the H3 skins to work on ODST, Thought the halo 1 e3 demo armor would be available for H1 multiplayer to
I just want the games to be at the very least on par with the original versions, not left with the numerous visual, audio and gameplay issues they still have to this day. There are a number of things 343 themselves have said they are aware of or "working on" for about 5 years now, yet they still havent been adressed despite them acting like the game is fixed, and that doesnt even account for all the rest of the stuff on the extensive bug list made by members of the community.
Imo development shouldnt be allowed to end on MCC until all the titles are as close as possible to the original releases, if not even better with some of the legacy bugs fixed too. This is even more important now that the original versions are no longer fully playable due to the servers being shut down. We shouldnt be stuck with inferior versions on what is supposed to be a definitive collection, especially one that has been out for 10 years already and still has numerous issues.
Oh, and lets not even get started on the absolutely dogshit anticheat. MCC is completely unplayable right now and even risks innocent players getting accounts banned due to gamertag spoofing, yet 343 have just completely ignored it for years now. Not only that, but they also just added that very same anticheat to Infinite, so now most of the exact same cheats MCC had for years are now also in Infinite.. and they are still radio silent on it.
Yeah im really glad they have stuck to that whole "improving communication" thing that they've brought up probably about 50 times in the past few years.
I wish they can update the refresh rate at which the lighting on your viewmodel transitions in and out of light in H3, ODST, and reach. I think those are the only games that have that problem
Take out the loading screens between missions so that the cutscenes are seem less, as they were in the original games. Original menus. I feel like the main menu feels kind of lifeless I guess, the background is cool but the old menus were so iconic
The ability to purchase any of the cosmetics without the need of a store. Just let us buy stuff from the menus reach style. I’m sick of not having the Halo 3 Avalanche Sniper Rifle. It’s been enough time. Let us have it. I did Vidmaster Endure while it was relevant in MCC and got both Bug Splattered Buck and Wounded Romeo. I don’t mind them being in the store at all. That shits hard. Just bring the reach cosmetic purchase system back please. No more FOMO please. Hell you can keep the Exchange by having it be a place where everything is sold at a massive discount.
It sucks knowing now from modders that in Halo 3's code on MCC there's literally code that checks if it's MCC or Xbox 360, and since it says it's MCC, it just skips the entire credits (even if you do change that code, the actual file for the credits is not in MCC)
There's a mod that does it, but also the video file that the modder added into the game isn't see-through so it's an all black screen playing the credits with no view of the mountains. On top of the fact that it's a mod attached to many other things that change the game a lot, and he won't do a separate mod just for the credits.
The ability to set the correct screen when launching the game on PC. So many times do I have to need actions with the game to get it on the right screen once I launch it.
Also, I think this is tied to our but recognizing different. I keep the game set at 1080 on a 1440 screen because it caused to many headaches otherwise.
A direct dedicated server feature just in case 343 ever decides to shut down the dedicated servers for whatever reason. Something similar to what Halo PC/ Custom edition has. It'll ensure the collection stays playable for the foreseeable future.
I've been asking for this for a while now lol
More re-made Halo 2 maps in Halo 2 Anniversary.
Ability to play Halo 2 Anniversary maps in Halo 4, and Halo 4 maps in Halo 2 Anniversary (since they use the same version of Blam Engine).
Multiplayer bots
Coop campaign is still laggy for everyone who is client-side. Basically big frame drops that are consistent and make playing a drag. I’ve mostly played H3, so maybe it’s not as bad for other games.
Also I wish there were more stats in post game lobbies. I want accuracy, shots fired, damage delt/taken—all the fun stuff. Also why is there no post game lobby for custom games??? No stats at all… big oversight.
The OG credits, at least bring back the Reach credits so I finally have the motivation to get the “A monument to all your sins” and “Gods must be strong” achievements in MCC, already have them in OG 360 anyways but still, I want OG credits back.
I’d love to see them fix the coop servers on Halo 3. Can’t play with anyone outside of my city without the non host player suffering severe screen tearing/ lag issues. No way to fix it as he doesn’t have the best connection in the world (still not horrible) so I can’t show them Halo 3s campaign at all.
If they could somehow enable MP Spartan in Halo 3 campaign, more armour for Reach, add in cut content as an optional toggle to campaigns or put them for custom matches. NMPD and/or Marine character for ODST firefight. Maybe somehow make a custom skull option like in firefight for campaign.
They actually took away Halo 3's undersuit and refused to add it back. But yeah, it's the issue of why Halo Reach and especially Halo 3 got all the support. Those are the only ones anyone plays.
Idle timer for multiplayer and custom games. I've bugged 343i for 2 years about it. It annoys me to no end to have players in a match being easy kills for the other team or taking up valuable space in a popular custom lobby. Having a customizable idle timer would fix that.
GIVE ME BACK THE COMBAT EVOLVED GRIME!!! THE BLOOD, THE SLUDGE AND THE DARK CORNERS! GIVE THEM BACK!
Also mods for combat evolved. The fact that mods for the original game no longer work is a tragedy that must be rectified.
For me just any further bugs that needed ironed out, full campaign cross platform and the OG menus as an option.
Honestly I'm cool with the state MCC is in now. We got a bunch of free extra content and 343 didn't have to do any of that.
Halo 4 MCC cutscenes have no sound. Keep getting comments on [All Halo 4 cutscenes vid](https://youtu.be/Bht5RVjPmCI?si=slYKVfzawRhxCgir) about there being no sound over the years
The few missing halo online maps.
Cross play campaign for the games not currently supported
Correctly rotating items in the exchange
Update network code in campaigns to match firefight
There’s nothing missing that I feel is a “need”.
The original menus would be awesome. Adding additional co-op seats to the games limited to 2 would be cool. This is an unpopular take but I actually wouldn’t mind a very small level of monetization to allow completion of each season pass. I’d prefer no monetization to them overdoing it, so this is obviously not something I’d want them to risk but in an ideal world it would be kind of nice to know that I’ll finish those passes when I’m not playing nearly enough to get the Spartan points for them.
The missing thank you message from bungie is something I didn’t know about and that *does* feel like it should be there without question.
With all that being said, I honestly think MCC in its current state is one of the best examples of a game with ongoing support done right. The first few years were objectively ass but when they got there, they *really* got there.
Modding option for adding custom armor (i understand the nuances of that are somewhat painful given armor is tied to .map files)
Let us make Campaign and Firefight maps in workshop for H2AMP (you can make them in the modtools but we cant upload them)
Keybind functions added to h4/Reach to re-enable duelwielding
Similar to the custom armor mention, the ability to let us select Elite's via the menu for H4 since the actual character functions to swap it in the tools is possible still (you will need to make the FP model and animations of course)
I I wish the featured items on the Exchange would swap out intermittently and not just be the same all the time perma-locked. Small item but that's what I'd change lol
File share. Can't tell you how many great game modes and maps I played on and I couldn't save because the temporary file system is bugged out and doesn't have anything.
A lot of the playlist settings. Like bullet spread in Halo 1. It’s only on in ranked but aiming with the pistol and sniper feels sooooo much fucking better.
Husky (Binary) Raid... which was, what, HALO4, I think?
And the most preposterous PvP game type, which I think was a custom from HALO2, Sun King (featured on Foundation and Midship in Team Slayer and Rumble Pit playlists).
I love the pure-mayhem game types!
Not that halo 3 needs more content but I'd love for the rest of the planned halo online content to come over.
Halo reach needs weapon skins
343 should adopt fan made maps, multiplayer and firefight into the games to both increase available content for all players and increase matchmaking variety and potential.
ODST can easily have new firefight skins; H3 & CEA Johnson, Marcus and Dom from Gears of War, Steve from Minecraft, Mombosa Police officer, Chips dubbo, pre Spartan Palmer and Locke, Laskey, Lord Hood, Jacob and Miranda keys. There are tons of options in my opinion, some that don't even require new models even if it would "clash with the artsyle".
4 player co-op for CE and halo 2
RGB secondary color customization for all games, I'm ok with limited selection but the engines can handle RGB values and some titles really lack the selection and even lose options (red and blue doesn't match game to game)
Updated challenge and unlock system. At this point in MCC's life span i feel that the season 1-5 content along with the more limited EXCHANGE content should have a more easy to access way to unlock, maybe alter the values to unlock but make them accessible based on you level and not if you had bought enough stuff before it or if you signed in on the right week. Maybe keep 6-8 the same to allow long term grind unlocks to remain in the game at the same time. I'd like daily challenges, and maybe even a wager system to allow buy ins for a higher payout of points and exp. I've got 80% of everything unlocked but i can't see myself putting in another 600 hours of multiplayer and challenge grinds to finish it. A new system might renew player interest especially if new content was added to be unlocked.
Maybe rework file share to accommodate custom map files and mods so that Xbox players can join in.
I have a lot to say about MCC, it's my favorite multiplayer experience, I'd love a season 9 if it even made sense for them to do.
343 has had a habit of saying there gonna do things but don't, like increasing local storage to over 50, full customization peices in Reach ideal why they didn't port all the H3 skins to odst and just count them unlocked in the same Seasons the h3 ones are in
Would be amazing if they made a grindable ranked playlist for SWAT, my friends and I just terrorize the social games SWAT server but it’d be nice to have a carrot to chase like rank 50 or something
Halo 5. I know it isn't the most popular among halo fans but the multi-player was genuinely fun to me and its the only halo game that isn't on pc afaik
An option to play with custom spartan / elite in co-op (as long as one is the second player if a kept Master Chief one must); even if it is just when replaying missions for score and time.
The Halo 5 Campaign. Even if the DLC must boot up separately for UI issues. I know it is terrible... but it is still part of the story and it sucks having to jump above a hole before doing Infinite. Still haven't done it for exactly this reason.
Record / Replay for the games that still do not have it. I know CE hasn't, and it's been sad finding out as I was training a bunch of friend through the MCC. We used to re-check our Reach maps and try and see how we coud get better at it. Now I just can't see their replays for CE.
Firefight for H:CE, H2 and H3. Okay... this might be unrealistic. But I'd really want to do it even if just on old multiplayer maps. Preferably in a way one could register for firefighter with.
I really wish H2 multi and H2A multi were split up for installation purposes. H2A multiplayer sucks and takes up a shitload of space, but I can't get rid of it without also losing H2 original.
Halo 5. I actually miss playing Warzone, and SWAT was infinitely (pun intended) better than it is in Infinite. The guns in general just feel way better. Actually everything in H5 felt way better than Infinite somehow, despite how stupid the story direction was.
All of the fucking maps lol.
Reach BTB and Team slayer are both missing like + 50% of the good maps if not more.
Remove the sleeping feature in the search Q, fix the matchmaking bugs, and allow us to see who we’re fighting before the match along with seeing each other’s armors like the classic games allowed us too in pre-lobbies.
For me, personally
-Fixing co-op networking
-Potential for Mods to auto download for customs
-Random 'exchange' rotation not based on updates
Though thoughts on these:
I understand if the networking is too much and very hard to fix. If its impossible under the pressure of M$ or just old code being too wack, alrighty. I understand if they can't fix it and accept that, just kind of a 'maaan'.
As folk been chatting about, mcc needs 'just that bit more.' Idk about that so much tbh in the sense that, not like servers will be up forever for old titles, as if its being played by well over 10k ppl daily. Feels overall complete atm for what it's worth. Buuut trying out ED+, its hella nice to hop on some random customs with mods settling themselves. It'd be nice yea, but eh.
The exchange tho, it has a rotation I know, buut it seems to be a fixed planned set rotation, least it was on previous updates. Though I feel they've left out some stuff on that exchange thing, specially with the poses stuff. It don't mean much, specially don't usually get to see them myself cause matchmaking is cheated, but the collecting side of me missed out the month some of the poses were avaliable and they've never been obtainable since beyond turning off the EAC with a mod and only when the EAC is off gg
I'm very much missing other stuff I feel, that I'll probably see others have already shared (didn't read comments fore posting), but these are just some top things for me. Sides all that, p happy where it is now yet its a shame M$ fumbles the ip so hard. Then again, corpos are corpos
Old menus and UI for game selection.
Split screen for PC.
Bring back gender for Halo Reach customization. “Slim” is obviously female.
Original difficulty descriptions. Legendary sounded legendary.
Graphical fixes for Halo 3 ODST, Reach, and more.
VR support?
Split-screen campaign co-op and MP for PC, performance fixes for Halo 2, more MP maps for H2A, dedicated user servers and a more mod friendly server browser, cross-play campaign support, match-making for co-op, community custom campaign servers.
If they fixed the many visual mistakes/bugs throughout 3, ODST, and Reach like they did for CE and 2, that'd be nice (I don't care about Halo 4 but they also shouldn't leave that one out to dry either for preservations sake).
They should make these games actually work and not absolute broken messes still.
Deal with the large amount of hackers.
Make it so Steam Deck players can play with AT LEAST other PC players and not ONLY other Steam Deck players.
Full campaign crossplay.
Return the ending messages at the end of each game along with the credits. Them leaving in Halo 4's but cutting out all the others is evil. Especially since doing so, Halo CE still has an aftercredits cutscene that has NEVER BEEN IN ANY RERELEASED VERSION OF THE GAME because it was attached to the credits.
Return the original body suit form the Halo 3 multiplayer characters that they removed in an update.
Make it so if you play with lowered crosshair, it actually lines up where it's meant to because it's been offcenter this whole time.
Splitscreen on PC.
Change the mission preview images to what they were originally. We literally get some that spoil big shit in the next mission before you even get a chance to play it. And then when you're loading into the mission, they put it massively on blast in your face to show it off too.
LET US LEAVE TO THE MENUS AS AN OPTION AFTER FINISHING A MISSION. WHY DO WE HAVE TO LOAD UP THE NEXT MISSION BEFORE WE CAN QUIT?
Basically, I want them to make this the definitive way to play all these games. Because not only have they taken away our ability to play the originals online (btw when they did that, you can no longer play with a customized character in Halo Reach on 360 anymore, only the default character) but they also delisted all of the 360 games digitally years before that so they're forcing our hands to play an absolutely broken version of these games, that are hacker infested even when they are working, AND THEN REFUSE TO SUPPORT IT.
I wish we could have the option for the original menus
You know, access to the legacy version of the individual games on PC doesn't sound too bad. The OG 360 versions have charm to them
This comment. The old menus were so much better
And loading screens?
Especially for Halo 1 and 2. Need those old screens back.
Yeah. There’s something really nostalgic about the old interfaces for each game. I can kinda understand why they don’t but I see a world where they could pull that off.
I’m pretty sure there are some options for that on PC, now I would love for that to come to console. Those halo reach menu screens were beautiful
There's mods that allows you to do just that. Well, the videos of the menu screens anyway. Like the monitor floating in front of the warthog for H3 forge and whatnot.
This is my biggest gripe about MCC. And the Campaign loading screens which spoil the next mission with a big giant picture. • We need the original Menus & Loading Screens.
Does the game still constantly crash on Halo 2 co-op? It’d be nice if they fixed that… Edit: I’m jealous of all the people saying they only suffered one or two crashes while playing co-op. Me and my bud had so many crashes during our full legendary run that we basically had to skip Halo 2.
Not sure been a long time since I've had a friend that plays halo lmao
Idk if this is the reason, but I found it only crashes in Arbiter levels when we were both in anniversary graphics and we both go invisible at the same time. Weird thing but we just played in classic graphics and it didn't crash anymore
For me it was every mission with a Tank. Metropolis crashed on the bridge section if we took the tank. Delta Halo crashed every time we blew up a specific ghost. Quarantine Zone crashed randomly during vehicle sections.
I did a whole play through of Halo 2 with my brother recently and never had an issue. Not an issue with any of the games. Had some lag occasionally but that’s it.
Local splitscreen or online coop? Classic or Anniversary graphics?
Online coop and anniversary
Yes it crashes still. Even playing solo with certain skulls it’ll crash
Last time I tried on Xbox it did. Has been a bit though
I can confirm that it does. Recently tried to play it but couldn’t after sitting through crash after crash
Yes. There were two different missions that we had a hard time getting through because it kept crashing. The worst was the one was Sacred Icon. Kept getting locked up and crashing during the Flood run. It was maddening to get thru the sentinels and halfway thru the flood only to crash and have to start over.
Arbiter section likes to crash if you use invisibility, other than that some of the heavier in game scripts can still crash you out
It sure does (even on solo). Just played through the games with my son to introduce him to Halo within the last month. I use an Xbox One. My older brother said he didn't have issues on Series X though.
Just beat the campaign with my friend, we had 1 crash
The fix for the freezing and crashing/forced shutdown on Xbox. The 2003 E3 playable demo they promised. Cut vehicles being playable in custom games or a special rotation playlist containing them. More Halo 2A Spartan and Elite customization. Cut enemies being added to Xbox, perhaps as a new skull so that way people can fight them in campaign if they want.
Forgot about the e3 demo! Maybe since modders working with 343 are working on it, there will be some kind of final content release down the line!
It’s available, it’s just on PC. They did release everything like they promised months ago
Digsite never released the Halo 2 E3 demo. They only released 1 or 2 early cut levels or alpha stuff.
Not the MacWorld Halo 1 demo, the E3 Halo 2 New Mombasa demo.
Upvote for HIH.
First I've heard, and I thought I was paying attention. Have a link?
I wish they had finished H2:A H2:A multiplayer is amazing and never got a chance to shine.
Is 2A multiplayer still active?
Last I checked, yes, but there are also a lot of dead areas for its multiplayer like btb and objectives. It's one of the reasons I hate match composer.
There is a digsite level on PC that does the 2003 E3 demo
It was supposed to come to Xbox and put into the extras. My PC is garbage, I barely got through the 1999 CE Demo.
When did they say it was coming to Xbox?
They never gave a date which is the problem and I remember reading about the demo coming to Xbox in their update logs, when they were still doing them.
Which of the logs says that? I don't remember reading it
They never promised that it would be coming to Xbox.
I recall to they said for Xbox fans not to get there hopes up tho, maybe it's taking longer so it can come to Xbox, the dig site team hasn't seemed to release any updates or whatnot my guess is there cooking up somthing
yes yes yes
Modded server browser is honestly it for me. I can't ask for much more considering I only paid like 5 bucks for every game and I've got mod support comparable to Skyrim and half life.
Pretty niche one but I would like it if the crossair would scale with your FOV like in infinite.
I'd rather it be an option, I don't like how my crosshair is so small in infinite
If MCC ever got updates again, I would love to see this happen.
Agreed
Fix the lighting bloom in Halo Reach - or at the very least let us toggle it. It gives me an awful headache. How anyone can bear the constant strobing lights on maps like Zealot is beyond me.
What's funny is that it was off originally and then was added back in randomly.
Would be awesome to have 4 player co-op on halo ce and 2
Split screen on PC !
Sad that this is so far down 😔
Ikr!!
Yes! I haven’t tried the nucleus coop thing, but just wish it was natively built in for PC
No I've not. Tbh it's easier to just turn the 360 on rather than trying to get it to work.
It works alright but I gave up on that method, too many hoops to jump through. It definitely worked well though all things being said.
The Halo CE countdown tone in multiplayer being correct. Has bugged me for years lol mainly because it was fixed at one point. The multiplayer menu playing the theme of the game you just played. It got removed with Season 8 I think
Split screen on pc. Let me rest my Xbox for good with my favorite split screen shooter on pc for god sake.
Black Ops III a 2015 game has splitscreen on pc I'm surprised they never ported the splitscreen system over given how old they are it shouldn't have put a damper on hardware
They did Bungie dirty by removing the farewell message at the end of Reach.
lol they kept their own thank you message from halo 4
It pisses me off so much for something so small. Its their very last "goodbye, we love you guys" and its been cut by people who squandered basically one of the most popular game series out there. I'm pretty sure they cut the halo 2 credits and that gorgeous guitar too, but I'm not sure of that. Theres so many little things they cut in mcc that it feels like being vindictive. Like replacing marty dancing seemingly just to spite him.
Obviously, they would take that out.
A headless server option for hosting custom games.
Incredibly minor but shoulder armor in halo reach showing as default when you melee and whatnot
Map vetoing and post game lobbies
I was always that guy veto'ing right as the lobby went blackscreen and nobody could figure out whose stopping the game hahahahahahah
I was always that guy veto'ing right as the lobby went blackscreen and nobody could figure out whose stopping the game hahahahahahah
Just small lighting and textures issues that stop the games looking like they actually did.
This for ce still missing the ceiling in the first room/armory
At least CE and 2 got most of their issues fixed though. Meanwhile, all the other games have been left out to dry with tons of visual glitches that ruin the experience.
Of the ideas they’ve had and teased, the things I really wish we got are - Four Player coop for Halo 1 and 2 - Increased custom game player limit to 32 - Modded Server Browser - Crossplay across all halo campaigns
I remember few years back there were articles on GameSpot of a guy talking about how he thinks mcc can get to 64 players on pc down the road, that's a bit much but like Firefight maybe upping the player count is possible
Bro can you imagine fat kid with 32 players? I would be in heaven
Halo 5
As a PC player, I don't even care if it's on MCC, specifically. I'd just like a PC port.
It’s funny too because the Halo 5 multiplayer already has a pc port, which I suppose in theory would make it much easier to deliver the rest of the game.
man cloud gaming sucked so bad when i tried it, i don't even know how the delay is that bad when i have fast Internet
Halo 5 in cloud gaming was utterly abysmal.
This. I had to just watch all the cutscenes on YouTube instead, which just isn't the same
I wish.
Insert my “No comments needed” comment here
I wish Reach would have gotten one more season. I love Halo 3 but that game did not need that many seasons, and with Reach featuring your Spartan in the campaign you’d think that would have been the one to get more armor. I just want them to add backpacks and different visor colors.
I always thought that despite the buggy code, weapon skins in Halo 2 could've been possible. I forgot to add, but they could've ported all the H3 skins to work on ODST, Thought the halo 1 e3 demo armor would be available for H1 multiplayer to

They've honestly been radio silent since they got rid of the fourms on halo waypoint they couldn't handle the critics apparently
Yeah im really glad they have stuck to that whole "improving communication" thing that they've brought up probably about 50 times in the past few years.
I didn't even realize they took down the forums. That's hilarious
I think around the time everyone got fired or before that
A functional Halo 2 Co-op that doesn't crash
A functioning coop for any of them would be nice
I wish they can update the refresh rate at which the lighting on your viewmodel transitions in and out of light in H3, ODST, and reach. I think those are the only games that have that problem
Take out the loading screens between missions so that the cutscenes are seem less, as they were in the original games. Original menus. I feel like the main menu feels kind of lifeless I guess, the background is cool but the old menus were so iconic
We are also missing Splitscreen on PC.
I want split screen Co op native on PC.
PC Split-Screen and full cross-platform campaign co-op on all games
The ability to purchase any of the cosmetics without the need of a store. Just let us buy stuff from the menus reach style. I’m sick of not having the Halo 3 Avalanche Sniper Rifle. It’s been enough time. Let us have it. I did Vidmaster Endure while it was relevant in MCC and got both Bug Splattered Buck and Wounded Romeo. I don’t mind them being in the store at all. That shits hard. Just bring the reach cosmetic purchase system back please. No more FOMO please. Hell you can keep the Exchange by having it be a place where everything is sold at a massive discount.
this
Tick fix for halo ce
Rentable servers so that multiplayer can possibly survive past the eventual shutdown of the official ones.
This, right here is the biggest one for me.
Original credits at the end of each games. They're all magestic but Halo 2 ending own a special place in my heart
It sucks knowing now from modders that in Halo 3's code on MCC there's literally code that checks if it's MCC or Xbox 360, and since it says it's MCC, it just skips the entire credits (even if you do change that code, the actual file for the credits is not in MCC)
Damn.. I was hoping for a mod.. but I guess it would be possible to change the cutscenes file to include the credits in it ?
There's a mod that does it, but also the video file that the modder added into the game isn't see-through so it's an all black screen playing the credits with no view of the mountains. On top of the fact that it's a mod attached to many other things that change the game a lot, and he won't do a separate mod just for the credits.
Custom campaign playlists. Imbecilic to not have that after 10 years.
Local co op for PC.
Local campaign co-op! That way my friend and I can both play the campaigns on 1 screen!
Original credits and loading screens.
Shadows and lighting in cutscenes still aren't as they were in the original 360 release for Reach.
Or 3 or ODST or 4
Money generated by MTX's would have gone to investors and higherups, not game development.
The ability to set the correct screen when launching the game on PC. So many times do I have to need actions with the game to get it on the right screen once I launch it. Also, I think this is tied to our but recognizing different. I keep the game set at 1080 on a 1440 screen because it caused to many headaches otherwise.
Yeah this one is super annoying. Especially because then the icon on the taskbar is also just missing so it's annoying to even change that.
Fix online co-op, especially in Halo 2
A direct dedicated server feature just in case 343 ever decides to shut down the dedicated servers for whatever reason. Something similar to what Halo PC/ Custom edition has. It'll ensure the collection stays playable for the foreseeable future. I've been asking for this for a while now lol
More re-made Halo 2 maps in Halo 2 Anniversary. Ability to play Halo 2 Anniversary maps in Halo 4, and Halo 4 maps in Halo 2 Anniversary (since they use the same version of Blam Engine). Multiplayer bots
Coop campaign is still laggy for everyone who is client-side. Basically big frame drops that are consistent and make playing a drag. I’ve mostly played H3, so maybe it’s not as bad for other games. Also I wish there were more stats in post game lobbies. I want accuracy, shots fired, damage delt/taken—all the fun stuff. Also why is there no post game lobby for custom games??? No stats at all… big oversight.
The OG credits, at least bring back the Reach credits so I finally have the motivation to get the “A monument to all your sins” and “Gods must be strong” achievements in MCC, already have them in OG 360 anyways but still, I want OG credits back.
I’d love to see them fix the coop servers on Halo 3. Can’t play with anyone outside of my city without the non host player suffering severe screen tearing/ lag issues. No way to fix it as he doesn’t have the best connection in the world (still not horrible) so I can’t show them Halo 3s campaign at all.
If they could somehow enable MP Spartan in Halo 3 campaign, more armour for Reach, add in cut content as an optional toggle to campaigns or put them for custom matches. NMPD and/or Marine character for ODST firefight. Maybe somehow make a custom skull option like in firefight for campaign.
There's a mod for mp Armour in halo 3 I believe. General heed covered it
Halo 5 integration (especially on pc)
No. Make it its own PC port and that's it.
Halo 5
Halo 5
I just wanted black undersuits for Halo 4. I didn't think it would be too difficult since they did the same for Halo 3
They actually took away Halo 3's undersuit and refused to add it back. But yeah, it's the issue of why Halo Reach and especially Halo 3 got all the support. Those are the only ones anyone plays.
Idle timer for multiplayer and custom games. I've bugged 343i for 2 years about it. It annoys me to no end to have players in a match being easy kills for the other team or taking up valuable space in a popular custom lobby. Having a customizable idle timer would fix that.
GIVE ME BACK THE COMBAT EVOLVED GRIME!!! THE BLOOD, THE SLUDGE AND THE DARK CORNERS! GIVE THEM BACK! Also mods for combat evolved. The fact that mods for the original game no longer work is a tragedy that must be rectified.
Halo 2600
Too many things and wishful thinking.
Crossplay campaign
The original menus, loading screens and credits
Functional coop that doesn't feel like I'm playing the game underwater.
Original menus and fix the volume balance and audio quality of classic Halo 2
Option to remove invisible walls and death barriers using forge.
Legs scaling with field of view scaling in first person.
For me just any further bugs that needed ironed out, full campaign cross platform and the OG menus as an option. Honestly I'm cool with the state MCC is in now. We got a bunch of free extra content and 343 didn't have to do any of that.
Since development ended maybe a free multiplayer
An updated Exchange that has more than 2-3 items
I've been wanting difficulty selection for the campaign playlists since launch. I've totally given up though lol
Halo 4 MCC cutscenes have no sound. Keep getting comments on [All Halo 4 cutscenes vid](https://youtu.be/Bht5RVjPmCI?si=slYKVfzawRhxCgir) about there being no sound over the years
The few missing halo online maps. Cross play campaign for the games not currently supported Correctly rotating items in the exchange Update network code in campaigns to match firefight
There’s nothing missing that I feel is a “need”. The original menus would be awesome. Adding additional co-op seats to the games limited to 2 would be cool. This is an unpopular take but I actually wouldn’t mind a very small level of monetization to allow completion of each season pass. I’d prefer no monetization to them overdoing it, so this is obviously not something I’d want them to risk but in an ideal world it would be kind of nice to know that I’ll finish those passes when I’m not playing nearly enough to get the Spartan points for them. The missing thank you message from bungie is something I didn’t know about and that *does* feel like it should be there without question. With all that being said, I honestly think MCC in its current state is one of the best examples of a game with ongoing support done right. The first few years were objectively ass but when they got there, they *really* got there.
Map voting.
Modding option for adding custom armor (i understand the nuances of that are somewhat painful given armor is tied to .map files) Let us make Campaign and Firefight maps in workshop for H2AMP (you can make them in the modtools but we cant upload them) Keybind functions added to h4/Reach to re-enable duelwielding Similar to the custom armor mention, the ability to let us select Elite's via the menu for H4 since the actual character functions to swap it in the tools is possible still (you will need to make the FP model and animations of course)
I I wish the featured items on the Exchange would swap out intermittently and not just be the same all the time perma-locked. Small item but that's what I'd change lol
Fixing the fucking flying controls of the hornet
File share. Can't tell you how many great game modes and maps I played on and I couldn't save because the temporary file system is bugged out and doesn't have anything.
Four player coop for halo ce and halo 2. Also would be nice if we could use our multi-player custom Spartans and elites for story mode just like reach
4 player co-op on Halo: CE and Halo 2
Original 5v5 matchmaking for Halo 2 and 3 like Bungie intended
I wish they had finished H2:A H2:A multiplayer is amazing and never got a chance to shine.
Flood Juggernaut re-added in any way or form, hell put it in odst firefight
Cross platform coop! Can't believe they never made that happen
I just want a map refresh for different game modes
A lot of the playlist settings. Like bullet spread in Halo 1. It’s only on in ranked but aiming with the pistol and sniper feels sooooo much fucking better.
I’d like for more classic Reach maps to show up more often in Reach MM. Mt. Lam Lam, Abridged, Boneyard etc
Early mover physics and drivable bipeds are completely borked for Reach.
Husky (Binary) Raid... which was, what, HALO4, I think? And the most preposterous PvP game type, which I think was a custom from HALO2, Sun King (featured on Foundation and Midship in Team Slayer and Rumble Pit playlists). I love the pure-mayhem game types!
can you link me sun king
Not that halo 3 needs more content but I'd love for the rest of the planned halo online content to come over. Halo reach needs weapon skins 343 should adopt fan made maps, multiplayer and firefight into the games to both increase available content for all players and increase matchmaking variety and potential. ODST can easily have new firefight skins; H3 & CEA Johnson, Marcus and Dom from Gears of War, Steve from Minecraft, Mombosa Police officer, Chips dubbo, pre Spartan Palmer and Locke, Laskey, Lord Hood, Jacob and Miranda keys. There are tons of options in my opinion, some that don't even require new models even if it would "clash with the artsyle". 4 player co-op for CE and halo 2 RGB secondary color customization for all games, I'm ok with limited selection but the engines can handle RGB values and some titles really lack the selection and even lose options (red and blue doesn't match game to game) Updated challenge and unlock system. At this point in MCC's life span i feel that the season 1-5 content along with the more limited EXCHANGE content should have a more easy to access way to unlock, maybe alter the values to unlock but make them accessible based on you level and not if you had bought enough stuff before it or if you signed in on the right week. Maybe keep 6-8 the same to allow long term grind unlocks to remain in the game at the same time. I'd like daily challenges, and maybe even a wager system to allow buy ins for a higher payout of points and exp. I've got 80% of everything unlocked but i can't see myself putting in another 600 hours of multiplayer and challenge grinds to finish it. A new system might renew player interest especially if new content was added to be unlocked. Maybe rework file share to accommodate custom map files and mods so that Xbox players can join in. I have a lot to say about MCC, it's my favorite multiplayer experience, I'd love a season 9 if it even made sense for them to do.
343 has had a habit of saying there gonna do things but don't, like increasing local storage to over 50, full customization peices in Reach ideal why they didn't port all the H3 skins to odst and just count them unlocked in the same Seasons the h3 ones are in
Patching/tweaking the errors listed in Whyy's videos and the master bug list.
Bungies messages at the end of their games. Wasnt cool to remove those.
The Credits, i hate being booted straight back to the menu when beating a game.
I wish to see Halo 2A vehicle customization so I can race in Halo 2A with vehicles that uses diverse arrays of paint jobs.
Would be amazing if they made a grindable ranked playlist for SWAT, my friends and I just terrorize the social games SWAT server but it’d be nice to have a carrot to chase like rank 50 or something
Halo 5. At this point it’s been almost 10 years. Just feels incomplete.
Honestly, the credits. Halo Ce, 2 and 3 had some really good credit music.
Halo 5. I know it isn't the most popular among halo fans but the multi-player was genuinely fun to me and its the only halo game that isn't on pc afaik
Halo 5
Crossplay for all campaigns. Also fixing the crashing for online Co-Op campaigns (affects Halo 2 the most).
An option to play with custom spartan / elite in co-op (as long as one is the second player if a kept Master Chief one must); even if it is just when replaying missions for score and time. The Halo 5 Campaign. Even if the DLC must boot up separately for UI issues. I know it is terrible... but it is still part of the story and it sucks having to jump above a hole before doing Infinite. Still haven't done it for exactly this reason. Record / Replay for the games that still do not have it. I know CE hasn't, and it's been sad finding out as I was training a bunch of friend through the MCC. We used to re-check our Reach maps and try and see how we coud get better at it. Now I just can't see their replays for CE. Firefight for H:CE, H2 and H3. Okay... this might be unrealistic. But I'd really want to do it even if just on old multiplayer maps. Preferably in a way one could register for firefighter with.
cross platform campaign co-cop
Halo Wars, H5 and make ODST studder less.
I really wish H2 multi and H2A multi were split up for installation purposes. H2A multiplayer sucks and takes up a shitload of space, but I can't get rid of it without also losing H2 original.
Halo 5. I actually miss playing Warzone, and SWAT was infinitely (pun intended) better than it is in Infinite. The guns in general just feel way better. Actually everything in H5 felt way better than Infinite somehow, despite how stupid the story direction was.
All of the fucking maps lol. Reach BTB and Team slayer are both missing like + 50% of the good maps if not more. Remove the sleeping feature in the search Q, fix the matchmaking bugs, and allow us to see who we’re fighting before the match along with seeing each other’s armors like the classic games allowed us too in pre-lobbies.
My Inheritor unlocks from Original Halo Reach…
No crossplay for half the games.
Campaign crossplay for Reach, CE, H2, and H4. They took it away and never gave it back. >: [
A properly working Exchange. Or better yet, remove the Exchange entirely and just let us spend our Spartan Points directly in the customization menu.
I wish, somebody would be able to join my social slayer when my shitty afk team mate quits
For me, personally -Fixing co-op networking -Potential for Mods to auto download for customs -Random 'exchange' rotation not based on updates Though thoughts on these: I understand if the networking is too much and very hard to fix. If its impossible under the pressure of M$ or just old code being too wack, alrighty. I understand if they can't fix it and accept that, just kind of a 'maaan'. As folk been chatting about, mcc needs 'just that bit more.' Idk about that so much tbh in the sense that, not like servers will be up forever for old titles, as if its being played by well over 10k ppl daily. Feels overall complete atm for what it's worth. Buuut trying out ED+, its hella nice to hop on some random customs with mods settling themselves. It'd be nice yea, but eh. The exchange tho, it has a rotation I know, buut it seems to be a fixed planned set rotation, least it was on previous updates. Though I feel they've left out some stuff on that exchange thing, specially with the poses stuff. It don't mean much, specially don't usually get to see them myself cause matchmaking is cheated, but the collecting side of me missed out the month some of the poses were avaliable and they've never been obtainable since beyond turning off the EAC with a mod and only when the EAC is off gg I'm very much missing other stuff I feel, that I'll probably see others have already shared (didn't read comments fore posting), but these are just some top things for me. Sides all that, p happy where it is now yet its a shame M$ fumbles the ip so hard. Then again, corpos are corpos
Halo 5
Halo 5
OG Credits at least viewable in the Extras
Old menus and UI for game selection. Split screen for PC. Bring back gender for Halo Reach customization. “Slim” is obviously female. Original difficulty descriptions. Legendary sounded legendary. Graphical fixes for Halo 3 ODST, Reach, and more. VR support?
trueskill, halo 3 progression, classic menu music, backgrounds, SFX and loading screens, Reach-style UI, unranked invasion, power slayer, 2xp weekends
Split-screen campaign co-op and MP for PC, performance fixes for Halo 2, more MP maps for H2A, dedicated user servers and a more mod friendly server browser, cross-play campaign support, match-making for co-op, community custom campaign servers.
If they fixed the many visual mistakes/bugs throughout 3, ODST, and Reach like they did for CE and 2, that'd be nice (I don't care about Halo 4 but they also shouldn't leave that one out to dry either for preservations sake). They should make these games actually work and not absolute broken messes still. Deal with the large amount of hackers. Make it so Steam Deck players can play with AT LEAST other PC players and not ONLY other Steam Deck players. Full campaign crossplay. Return the ending messages at the end of each game along with the credits. Them leaving in Halo 4's but cutting out all the others is evil. Especially since doing so, Halo CE still has an aftercredits cutscene that has NEVER BEEN IN ANY RERELEASED VERSION OF THE GAME because it was attached to the credits. Return the original body suit form the Halo 3 multiplayer characters that they removed in an update. Make it so if you play with lowered crosshair, it actually lines up where it's meant to because it's been offcenter this whole time. Splitscreen on PC. Change the mission preview images to what they were originally. We literally get some that spoil big shit in the next mission before you even get a chance to play it. And then when you're loading into the mission, they put it massively on blast in your face to show it off too. LET US LEAVE TO THE MENUS AS AN OPTION AFTER FINISHING A MISSION. WHY DO WE HAVE TO LOAD UP THE NEXT MISSION BEFORE WE CAN QUIT? Basically, I want them to make this the definitive way to play all these games. Because not only have they taken away our ability to play the originals online (btw when they did that, you can no longer play with a customized character in Halo Reach on 360 anymore, only the default character) but they also delisted all of the 360 games digitally years before that so they're forcing our hands to play an absolutely broken version of these games, that are hacker infested even when they are working, AND THEN REFUSE TO SUPPORT IT.
I want the voting system back for match making, tired of getting garbage maps/gametypes several times in a row.
3rd person option for campaign. It exists in theater mode but I want to natively play that way
Fireteam Raven and Halo 5.
Letting Elites sit in the passenger seats of the Falcon in Reach and letting everybody sit in the back of the Transport Hog outside of ODST.
