Ok so we know 343 is now working on a new update for MCC, let’s try and speculate personal hopes and possible hints at what’s coming in the next update.
As for me, my hope is barrier removal in Forge, private file limit increase, target locator for Halo 4 Forge, and a pilotable Pelican for Halo Reach Forge and H2A Forge.
My personal hope is for Slayer Pro and 4v4 Elite Slayer to come back to Reach. I know that’s not going to happen in the next update though.
My speculation is it will be the Flood Firefight update.
Yeah, definitely the Flood Firefight for ODST will be part of it. Also hoping for campaign co-op crossplay to finally happen. Maybe also PC split screen. Maybe another Halo Online map or two being brought to Halo 3. Possibly some more Halo Online armor for the Exchange. I’d love it if we got some more maps for Halo 2 Anniversary MP.
Oh man I hope it’s mostly forge forge forge, for h3 and reach and with it being focused on vehicles and other things like maybe button activated doors and other gadgets would be AWESOME aswell,
I’d rather Halo 4 and H2A get some Forge love instead of H3 tbh, but if I had to pick 3 things to add to H3’s Forge it’d have to be:
The ability to remove invisible barriers and kill barriers for Forge and Customs
Halo Reach’s Building Structures from Reach’s Forge
Weather Effects.
so what we know is potentially on the table:
as for things I’d like to see:
didn’t mention CGB and Tool releases since those are almost certainly coming soon
My wants:
What we’ll probably get:
One thing I really want are new techsuits for the Elites, the legacy techsuit with the more organic feel has been lost unless you’re playing campaign with at least 3 players, something that’s not incredibly likely unlike the legacy Halo 3 techsuit that can be seen at any time in campaign gameplay. I also really want cammpaign Elite and Marine assets from Halo 2: Anniversary ported over as multiplayer cosmetics. I’d kill to play as an honor guard/Heretic mix. Would be cool for standard Halo 2 as well.
If we’re talking likelihood though, it’ll probably be some of the unused Halo Online set with some leftover scrapped features from prior seasons. With as much focus as there is on Infinite’s development, I imagine things will be smaller than they ever were for MCC.
I’m really hoping they add the remaining Halo: Online exclusive maps to H3, as well as bring Flood into ODST firefight.
Here is a small wishlist I want to see coming eventually to the collection:
This would be a longshot but I would really like to see a Campaign Mission Browser and a Firefight Browser to join missions (support up to 4 players) like the Custom Game Browser. There is so many missions to choose from across both Campaign and Firefight (almost rivals the amount of Multiplayer Maps to choose from!) that it would be great to choose which missions with some random people to drop in (yes join in progress should be a thing too as well for Campaign/Firefight Missions and the amount of customization for this would be insane! Imagine Campaign mod support added to these menus, where you could auto install any required mods before going into a mission!
Here are some Spartan Ops Improvements I want to see:
For Multiplayer I want to see:
There is more I want to see but the above is my very big wishlist of items I want to see happen for the collection. As you can see, mostly Coop improvements, this needs to start being a focus at some point for improvement overall for the collection as its been barely been worked on.
