Some key QoL improvements are needed on old matters within the main menu of mcc .
*During a Que for a match; the blue background of an Elite with a sword grabbing a Soldier is of the same color/shade as the IDLE symbol which makes it hard for everyone to see who is idle.
When the lobby leader is starting the que, then the others in the lobby can switch between the customization menu/ service ID and the Wallpaper/ live theme background replaces the blue elite grabbing a soldier .

The Cinematics in the Extras section of the Main Menu ; I and everyone I know thinks it should have a Play all button for the cinematics in the playlist or a selection option to play certain ones in order.
Also the H2A cinematics needs more stable coding for other audio devices for high explosive moments.
And the Cinematic get out of sync if you let them play in the background and pull up your guide or go to dashboard for a moment and come back to a out of synced audio cinematic. Espcially during stream broadcasts. -
The in game chatbox should have a option to disable it entirely or provide a transparency slider to lessen the intrusive distractions in gameplay.
*Halo 4 Squad Battles is a dead playlist and should have been removed months ago. It is a waste of space and without a population counter and a que longer than 15mins then no one will play it… Please replace it.

CRITICAL ISSUE here – I beg for any of the developers to please please change the Push to Talk setting to automatically be OFF because it is making new and returning players think that the game is dead from communication and I always run into lobbies where I tell everyone on both teams to switch the push to talk to off in order to Talk… Which is a literal hassle for each match to remind others of a presetted setting that disables the community from engaging with eachother. Also Some think its their setup broken or the game is broken due to the push to talk button constantly being resetted if you havent played mcc in a lil while.

Another critical issue is the Halo 3 mission the covenants holograms not being shown neither in mission or cutscene.
Also in H2c outskirts opening cutscene of the pelicans dropping and facing against a scarab on highway > Well the camera position starts to shake alot when in the back of pelican but then smooths out in the next frame to johnson. The shake happens for a moment but its jarry to see for some. Along with the audio bursts in H2A cinematics that sound like crackling on a few high end audio devices. -
One final critical issue is that if you use the Twitch console app or the Xbox guide menu Twitch broadcast option, then it makes your ques for match dead or very much longer, and it will make your online status switch back in forth from offline to online in rapid succession. and if the person if favorited on friends list then you will get a notification every-time they are automatically switched to online . << This happens if they stream using the Twitch app or the xbox guide menu to broadcast.
imo it would be great to have a different background for when in a que for a match. or have the idle symbol a diff color or jsut have the que menu MATCH the main menus theme. Theres a bug if the other people in lobby are switching in the customization menus and the lobby leader starts que then it can replace the elite sword blue background.
Also less swagnums in halo 3 and more br and recon swat in the rotation.
And present the roster for others in the lobby when the party leader backs out so that everyone knows who is the last person idle which is preventing the que for next match.
Also in H2C the maps colossus and ascension are in the rotation way often than others. Especially in H2c Swat.
… One goofy mention - add Big team Battle swat with vehicles with faster vehicle spawn times. Just for a week . for all halos.
