In General Heed’s latest video he demonstrated how the Jetpack cheat was added to Halo CE’s tag test build. It functions exactly like acrophobia does, and you can even enable it in the retail build with mods. IIRC modders could enable acrophobia in H2A and H3 ODST much earlier than the official release where as the other titles had a hard time supporting it. I believe this is a strong indicator that CE will join the flight club eventually. The current odd ones out are Reach and H4. Given their engine similarity if either one gets acrophobia it wouldn’t be difficult to bring it to the other.

It’s likely to arrive at some point I would think, seeing as it’s acrophobia is now in H2A

Hey guys, any update on this? I see acrophobia has now been added to 3, 2, and 4. Will we see it in CE at some point soon? Thanks!
there’s been no official statement made by 343, but at this point, i’d be surprised if 343 doesn’t add acrophobia to ce. every other game has it now, and it’s already possible through modding
To be more precise Acrophobia is available in all titles except CE at the moment. Technically speaking the skull’s underlying code exists in CE as it can be enabled through very minor modifications in the career XML. The only thing missing really is a UI element for the player to enable it.
If I had to guess what could be the hold up might be related to achievement interaction with the skull. QA or someone has to verify that the skull can’t be used to cheese certain challenges and this task is probably low on the totem pole.
As a bit of history here is a good read from kornman (MCC dev) about acrophobias inception.

For now all we can is wait and keep providing feedback thah acrophobia in CE is a must for console gamers.

That would be supper poggers.
Which achievements are we talking about for CE with the skull?
I wouldn’t know. The developer comments in the career file simply have this to say in regards to CE acrophobia.
CUT: Allows achievement exploits
Like I said it probably trivializes a few achievements that the QA team flagged as an issue.
I’m really hoping we get it. I don’t need and scoring or achievements just wanna explore
