I watched a YouTube video shared on Halo Universe’s FB page, and the Yter mentioned an upcoming H3 playlist with H3 settings and maps?
This would be great! Can anyone confirm?
I remember a long time ago they mentioned they were testing a “classic” settings playlist but nothing else has been said. Considering it took two years just to get odd ball it is still probably going to be awhile if it happens. If you look around custom browser occasionally you see games being hosted with classic settings. Or host one your self.
I don’t see why they we need to make a Halo 3 playlists for Halo 5. They could just come out with a nice update for MCC and let the community know. Then a ton of people could go play it on Halo 3s birthday with a great experience.

I have a feeling MCC is going to stay broken forever…
Hey, but who knows, I could be wrong.
It’s confirmed to be coming, I’d assume it’ll come out around September as a celebration of Halo 3’s tenth anniversary.

Ah right, thanks.
I’d much prefer it to be an MCC update, but this’ll do.
I’ve got some Halo 3 maps with a great Halo 3 settings game mode if you wanna add me and play that. It isn’t as good as Halo 3 of course, but it’s damn good fun, and feels like old Halo.
UPDATE: HALO CEA, 3, 3: ODST, and HALO 4 ARE BECOMING BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE ALONG WITH A FREE 4K HALO 5 UPDATE.
I REPEAT, HALO 3 IS COMING TO XBOX ONE.
Saw it coming a mile away.
Yep it’s confirmed, it’s in the update this morning…
Thank goodness H3 is being made back-comp. Now we REALLY don’t need H3A.
In honor of Halo 3’s 10 year anniversary, they have a classic playlist dedicated to halo 3. You can read a bit about in the community update.

Excited!
I knew 343 wouldn’t ignore Halo 3’s 10th anniversary! Thanks 343!
Hmm, play H3 in H5’s classic playlist on forge maps with H5’s weapons or play the original H3 game that’s also coming out for backwards compatibility with free DLC? 343 had to know this was happening and they still decided to do H3 maps. You can’t make this stuff up.
I would like to give my thanks to making all these halo games BC! It was kind of hinted at at E3 but really awesome still. 
I am really happy, especially for Halo 3. (and i won’t have to buy the dlc again.)

I’m so excited!!! Barebone playlist is going to be great 
would be cool if they disabled sprint and spartan abilities and made the pace like halo 3 and other settings weapon damage …etc…
edit:and add halo 3 weapons especially the brute shot

I think they might actually disable spartan abilities because they said they are starting from scratch again to create the playlist as classic as possible being quoted in saying, “Halo 3 maps created with Forge in Halo 5 and will feature “classic” gameplay setting” indicating they will be no sprint as they realized the mistake made with Halo:CE playlist which the community was very vocal about hating the use of spartan abilities.

Dude, I like being able to sprint. Add’s an element to all of Halo in my opinion. Walking slowly around the maps feels so limited.

I have a strong feeling you are right. I don’t think they will ever fix it. They should have just given us a stand alone H2 Anniversary like they did with CE. Would have been much much better. The matchmaking in MCC feels very limited in each Halo game as far as maps go. One thing I hope 343 does is go back to a ranking system like Reach. I like that one the most. H4 and H5 ranks are just numbers. Not as cool as an actual rank with an insignia.
