So my friend just discovered Halo and played through all of the MCC on PC. I’m on Xbox. We were both super excited to go through the campaigns cooperatively and then we found out that cross play isn’t supported there yet. Do you think 343 will add campaign cross play support or do you think there is a reason it has been left alone?
343i won’t be incorporated cross play for campaign, at least not anytime soon. The reason campaign was left alone is due to the way campaign is programmed. I believe that the devs have estimated it would take 6-12 months per campaign to essentially re-program each game in order to incorporate cross play. It is unfortunate that you two won’t be able to play together, the only alternative I can think of would be Xbox Cloud Gaming, however that is only accessible via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and, as the name states, it’s cloud based streaming.
we were able to play cross play in a halo insider, but since then, it was never added in MCC.
