A Huge List of MCC Ideas (Updated for Season 7)

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection
1

NOTE: This list is an updated version of one I posted at the start of Season 6. Some new things have been added to it and there’s a new section that details which items from the previous version have actually now made it into MCC.
This is a comprehensive list of every idea that I have (or others in the community have had that I liked) for improvements, fixes and additions to the MCC. Before we begin I want to stress that not all of these ideas are realistic or even possible (though plenty are). This is in a way just a bit of fun so don’t worry if some of these sound ridiculous. Also, I want to hear what ideas YOU have for the MCC. I will add them to the list if I like them and credit you also, so write them down in the replies.

Halo: Combat Evolved

Campaign

  • Restore the classic HUD - Enable the use of weapon & vehicle skins in Campaign - Upgrade co-op to allow for 4 playersMultiplayer

  • Add the Fuel Rod Cannon to the Fiesta game mode. Also, allow players to spawn with it by default - Add some Custom Edition maps. I don’t know much about Custom Edition but I’ve heard many people ask for this and it sounds cool to me - Add playable Elites (I told you this would get ridiculous:) - Perhaps more custom game options could be added. Look to some of the later titles for inspirationCustomisation

  • Perhaps more skins could be addedOther

  • Add Firefight - Add Forge - Add Theater
    Halo 2

Campaign

  • Fix lighting issues in classic mode - Restore skull functionality in Campaign. They’re supposed to activate immediately upon pickupMultiplayer

  • Add the Sentinel Beam to the Fiesta game mode - Add Custom Games option to force players to play as Spartans or Elites - Perhaps more Custom Game options can be added - Add a proper Infection mode - Fix hit registration like you did for Halo 3 (suggested by Halo2Warfare) - Add some Halo 2 Vista custom maps (suggested by Halo2Warfare)Customisation

  • Add weapon & vehicle skins - Add visor colours - Add new Elite armor. There are many different sets that could be pulled from campaign including: Arbiter, Ranger, Heretic, Honor Guard (with and without headgear) and Council (can be rescued in The Great Journey) - Add Spartan armor. Choices here are limited but you could pull armor from the Marines and ODSTs possiblyOther

  • Add Firefight - Add the Halo 2: Vista Map Editor - Add Theater
    Halo 2: Anniversary

Multiplayer & Forge

  • Port weapons and vehicles from Halo 4 into H2A - Add Custom Games option to force players to play as Spartans or Elites - Add an option to remove invisible boundaries in Forge - Remake some more classic Halo 2 maps (suggested by Halo2Warfare)Customisation

  • Add weapon & vehicle skins - Add visor colours - Port Halo 4 Elite armor into H2A - Port the most fitting Halo 4 Spartan armor into H2A. My choices would be Recruit, Warrior, EVA, Scout, EOD, ODST, Mark V and Keystone - Add the female Spartan model from Halo 4 (suggested by Nefnoj)

Campaign

  • Enable the use of weapon and vehicle skins in Campaign - Enable the use of custom Spartans and Elites in CampaignMultiplayer & Forge

  • Add the 7-Wood to the Fiesta game mode - Add playable ODSTs to custom games - Add playable Brutes to custom games (yeah, that’s not gonna happen lol) - Add Custom Games option to force players to play as Spartans or Elites (and also ODSTs if that gets added) - Add the remaining Halo Online maps to Halo 3. These are: Reactor, Diamondback and Icebox. There are also other cut maps like Waterfall, such as: Drydock, Sky Bridge and Powerhouse. - Add Halo Online weapons to Halo 3 Forge and Custom Games. Most of these weapons are just variants of pre-existing Halo 3 weapons but there is the DMR - Make Sandtrap into a Forge canvas - Add flyable Pelicans and Phantoms to Forge - Add an option to remove invisible boundaries in ForgeCustomisation

  • Add weapon & vehicle skins to those that lack them - Add more Halo Online Elite armor - Add the Arbiter’s armor to Elite customisation - Add the Pilot helmet (seen on Hornet pilots) to Spartan customisation.

Firefight & Customisation

  • Port Halo 3 weapon skins to Halo 3: ODST - Add options to customize waves - Add enemy Elites, Flood and Sentinels to custom waves - Add option to remove Skulls - Port the following Halo 3 weapons into ODST: Magnum, SMG, Sentinel Beam, Energy Sword - Enable the use of Halo 3 Spartans and Elites in Firefight - Fix first-person viewmodel for Bug Splattered Buck to actually match third-person model - Add Fireteam Raven characters to customisation - Add Halo 3 Johnson variant to customisation - Add other Halo 3 and ODST characters to customisation - Clean up the UI in the customisation menu. All character variants should be grouped together. It just looks messy right now. - Add per-piece customisation (suggested by Nefnoj)
    Halo: Reach

Campaign

  • Can’t really think of anything as of yetMultiplayer & Forge

  • Add Custom Games option to alter/remove bloom - Add Custom Games option to force players to play as Spartans or Elites - Add flyable Pelicans & Phantoms to Forge. They are already present in Campaign after all - Add Space Banshee to Forge - Add the 7-Wood to the Fiesta game modeFirefight

  • Add weapon & vehicle skins - Add more visor colours - Add per-piece customisation for Elites - While most Noble Team armors are already available to players, a select few remain unusable. It would be great to see these added. - Add Back Accessory customisation. Some ideas include: Jorge’s pack, Re-entry pack (from Long Night of Solace) and Cortana - Add more Helmet attachments, eg. CNM for Mark V (B) or CBRN/HUL for Grenadier (suggested by LegoBuilder3190) - Restore the Firefight Voice “Voice Preview” Button (suggested by RotaryDiagram4)

  • Enable the use of custom Spartans in Campaign - Enable the use of weapon skins in Campaign - Enable the use of Theater mode in Campaign & Spartan Ops - Fix the broken lighting in the end cutscene on Reclaimer - Add Scoring to Spartan Ops - Add custom game options to Spartan Ops (suggested by LegoBuilder3190) - Add Matchmaking for Spartan Ops (suggested by LegoBuilder3190)Multiplayer

Currently, armor pieces are grouped together if there are 3 or more variants but this looks messy. Armor should always be grouped together even if there’s only 2 variants.Other

  • Add Firefight

2

Global/General

  • Allow Halo: Nightfall to be viewed from the Main Menu - Allow players to change the menu background. Many have been created now and should not be wasted. - Add an option to restore the original loading screens for each game. They helped immensely in setting the mood - Make the menu music customizable. In Call of Duty Black Ops III, you could have a large selection of tracks from the Black Ops series play randomly in the menu and each track could be toggled on or off. A feature like that would be amazing in MCC. - Add Halo 5: Guardians to the MCC (it needs to come to PC anyway, might as well go the extra mile. I’d even pay for it) - Add console mods (this one is crucial. Support for MCC SHOULD NOT STOP unless both PC and Xbox players can keep the game alive themselves - Restore the original menu backgrounds for each game when you click on that game’s respective Campaign, Firefight or Multiplayer (saw a mod that did this) - Add an option to hide the original MCC nameplates. The nameplate list is extremely cluttered and this would help with that a lot. - Allow players to replace their player card avatar with a custom character of their choice (from any game) - Restore the original credits and thank you messages at the end of each game and make the credits for MCC staff viewable from the menu - Restore any viable cut content across the collection (like you did for GRD and various Halo 4 Weapon Skins). These could be weapons, vehicles, customisation items, maps or even campaign levels! - Bring advanced audio sliders to console (they already exist on PC), but also make them per game. - Add multiplayer bots or give players Forge options to make them ourselves! - Add more options to the post-game carnage report in Campaign. Allow us to quit or restart the mission. - Redesign the mission and map selection menus to be more like the vertical ones seen in the CGB Create menu. - Add an optional, more detailed universal scoreboard to the various multiplayers (suggested by guss) - Add more medals to each game, eg. Assist in Halo 3 (suggested by guss) - Add new emblems (suggested by guss) - Bring Escalation Slayer to CE, H2C and H3 (suggested by Halo2Warfare) - Add a Gallery that displays concept art, promotional images, 3D models etc. (suggested by omgwtfun3791) - Add in-game Captions for all titles like CEA does (suggested by Nefnoj) - Keep supporting MCC beyond Season 10 (please?)
    Skulls

  • Add Bandanna to H3, H4, ODST & Reach - Add Scarab to H3, ODST & Reach - Add Acrophobia to other games. - Fiesta: Start the level with a random loadout. In co-op, respawn with random weapons.
