Additions MCC Desperately needs before 343 cuts support

As mentioned, PC splitscreen support. Custom controls would go a long way as well.

In the name of everything good and holy give us split screen!

Honestly, I just wish they could bring back Campaign experience points. I remember when we used have Campaign exp. before the official challenge system/exchange was implemented. Here’s the scaling I’d like to see.

25,000 Exp-Easy
50,000 Exp-Normal
100,000 Exp-Heroic
200,000 Exp-Legendary
400,000 Exp-Legendary; All Scoring Skulls On

It’s just such an easy thing to do and put in. And I think players would very much enjoy having more opportunities to earn experience points once MCC gets to the point where there isn’t enough of a playerbase to maintain a robust online PvP experience.

It would also inspire players to push themselves on harder difficulties outside their comfort zones, and likely help them improve their campaign skill set for challenges. High Risk, High Reward as the saying goes.

I understand that the suggested exp scaling wouldn’t affect seasonal progression, so I had written in another forum earlier about how 343 could make it easier to earn ā€œSpartan Pointsā€ from the challenges (God I wish they would just call them ā€œHalo Points.ā€ There’s no need to be so prejudiced against Elites).

Anyways, I know that every week there are 6 ā€œGoldā€ challenges that currently earn 1 season point per completion, and an addition 7 ā€œBlueā€ challenges that earn a variety of experience points. This applies to both PvP and PvE.

If 343 can make it so that all of the ā€œGoldā€ challenges earn 2 points and all of the ā€œBlueā€ challenges earn 1 point it would a relatively small change But when you add it all up, that allows players to earn a total from 12 points all the way up to 38 points a week. That would incredibly player friendly.

Also, doubling the amount of experience points earned through challenges would also be player friendly and would be incredibly helpful with progression.

With the crippling failer if infinite 343I are once again usuing MCC as thier safety net. Just like they did with halo 5.

I wouldn’t worry about the support for a good while.

That was a neat little feature. I’d love to see it return.

I’d like to see the ability to make completely new game types and choose all sorts of things to put in them (like special items in forge, teams and roles, etc). I’d also like them to make all game types accessible to be played in custom games (like Race).

I dont see that being a possibility but maybe adding the mythic slayer mode as a standard mode there would be some extra options for stuff there

-add a proper server browser
-fix the terrible unlocking system, to this day it’s still presented in linear blocks that you have to completely unlock to get to the next one, yet you have manually unlock each item one by one?
It’s also just insanely grindy too.
-allow mixed team size and ranked/unranked queuing at the same time.

Add bots to all the multiplayer’s so when they cut support the game won’t fully die

Another thing that I think definitely needs mentioning are some visual bugs that are still present.

This mostly centers around Halo Reach. There’s a youtuber called ā€œWhyā€ that’s pointed out some of the graphical comparisons between MCC and Legacy versions of the Halo games.

Like with Halo CEA and Halo 2A, the graphics that were displayed in MCC were not in parity with their legacy counterpart. They’ve since fixed a lot of the graphical issues in seasons 7/8 for Halo CEA/Halo.

I’d figured I’d submited a ticket to Halo Support, since these are ā€œgame-related bugs and issuesā€ as they always say. Well much to my chagrin, it took multiple days and at least two separate tickets to get a response and this is what they had to say.

Hi ZappyStatue,

I understand where you’re coming from however, we focus only on game-related bugs and issues.

You can talk to other players and have a more in-depth discussion about your feedback by going to the [Halo Waypoint forums and becoming a member of the community there.

Thanks,

Halo Agent Whiskey

This is, to put it lightly, a crappy response. This is unacceptable. I’ve even pressed them to provide a checklist of what even counts as ā€œgame-related bugs and issuesā€ that they always love quoting. If these visual bugs don’t count as bugs, then good god, what does?

Poor responses from the support team have been a growing issue lately, you should share the issue on the Halo subreddit to raise awareness, it sadly seems like the only efficient way to raise attention to these issues. My experiences have been largely positive, but I’ve seen really large issues get rejected. At the least adding them to the known issues page would be better than prematurely closing the support ticket.

I’ve been sitting on 2 tickets with support myself, but while neither have been closed, the only one to see any real activity in the last month or so was with regards to the recent clipping issues on the Halo 3 techsuit hands introduced with the floodfight update, and it was only asking to see if it was still occurring, which it was since the bug was introduced by the update changing how hands were shaped without accounting for armor.

same story with the missing waist armor for the Season 7 Elite legs still sitting in limbo (they’re using the Combat waist when the Halo Online armor had it’s own waist, I was directed from the forum moderators to talk with support since it was missed during insider testing).

One thing I’d love in MCC before they cut support is making a Mark 7 armor set for Halo 3 and get the rest of the mark 7 armor set for Halo 4. It would be fun to have the full set of Gen one armor version in those games for Multiplayer.

I didn’t realize support would get cut anytime soon. Is that really a thing? When might the final update be? Seems insane to let it go. It still needs work.

My solution to the unlock system would be to allow you to use your points on anything on the entire list without having to unlock previous items e.g. being able to buy Emile’s helmet on day one rather than having to get every single item on the pass before getting the helmet. This is especially a problem for me with the newer seasons as the only items I want are some of to last items they offer and I can’t be bothered spending months completing challenges just to get a bunch of items I will never use.

It absolutely still needs a lot of work. Hopefully support doesn’t end anytime soon.

Agreed. I’ve suggested this before. Should be able to unlock whatever in whatever order.
