Halo 3 Beta Appearance Restoration

With the exciting news and information provided in the three Cutting Room posts, I couldn’t help but wonder what other great cut / previously seen content could be added to MCC in some way.

I especially loved this introduction from Haruspis: “Something that becomes part of the great journey of many Halo fans is learning about all the stuff that didn’t make it into the games over the years.”

I think it would be great to have armor added to the game that reflects how our multiplayer Spartans looked during the Halo 3 Beta. Perhaps even go a step further to showcase Beta-style armor for others besides Mark VI, CQB, and EVA. I always loved this appearance, and look back on it fondly.

I could easily see myself playing a night of custom games on only the three Halo 3 Beta maps (High Ground, Snowbound, and Valhalla). Just the idea alone has me feeling nostalgic!

I fully agree.

It would be nice if the original Beta and retail release dates were MCC events. To go along with public holidays. On these occasions, make them Double EXP and have special Community Challenges(just an example, 7,777,777,777 kills across all modes by the playerbase) that once achieved unlock a special something for everyone who played during the duration of the event.

Very excited to see the digsite stuff implemented and the concept art armour added.

Pretty fun idea.

Reminds me of the community push to lift the cap in Reach from Lieutenant Colonel, Grade 3 after 117 million cR were earned collectively.

And show it in the pregame lobby. You know, the screen where we can look at and judge everyone while we wait for the map to load?
