Since announcing MCC 343i have come out saying they plan to support it just like any other mainline title. This has me speculating DLC will be releasing for the new hybrid anniversary engine that the six remade Halo 2 maps are using.
So beyond the 6 H2 remakes what would you like as DLC for MCC? 1, 3 or 6 months after MCC releases?
Personally I’d like to see some elements of Halo CE/3/4 brought in as DLC for the hybrid engine. I wonder what they could mash up into this engine and how some of the maps from other games would go with the H2 anniversary engine (as I call it for now).
Well for starters it would be nice for them to give us the maps from the Halo 5: Beta as DLC for the Halo Anniversary engine after the Beta has closed. It would be a cool way to say “Hey, if you want you can still enjoy those maps before the game ships!”
Aside from that, I’d prefer they go the route of original maps, as it’s kind of unnecessary to remake maps that are already in the game (some more than once) to begin with.
It’s a good point about remakes, perhaps some new maps as DLC for the ann. engine?
They will only do halo 2 anniversary maps as DLC. Reason why is because they have to strip away alot of the engine to be able to put new graphics over its. This is why you can only go from classic to new in campaign, the campaign is using the original engine with graphics over it but they could not achieve 1080p with that. Halo 3, ce and 4 would all need the same treatment of striping alot of graphics away and rebuilding new graphics again or they can just add more halo 2 maps because halo 3 will already look awesome and so will halo 4 in 1080p 60 frames
I’m guessing it will simply be more remastered Halo 2 maps for the Anniversary multiplayer.

If that’s the case I’m still super happy, Halo 2 had so many great maps for slayer, objective, BTB. Insane.
The only thing that I could see happening regarding DLC would be to have more Halo 2 maps remade for the new engine. There could also be some Halo 1 or 3 maps that are remade as well, but other than that, I don’t see them really putting any effort into creating DLC for the MCC.
I hope some of the new DLC maps, if they exist, aren’t just “fan favorites”. There are some really cool Halo 2 maps which aren’t fan favorites exactly just because they didn’t fit into MLG settings or competitions of that matter.
Also an universal Forge map would be deeply appreciated.
I really doubt we will get any DLC. Unless it’s things like…the E3 mission (i already know their stance on it) the bungie chest piece for 3. Adding in more maps remastered or brand new would just bloat the game even more then it will be.
And adding more armor would do the same. I think by support they mean updating playlists and patching any issues that may surface etc.
