MCC SEASON 8 FLIGHT DISCUSSION AND FEEDBACK

So everyone, i want your guys 's opinion about the mcc season 8 flight (whoever got invited or seen gameplay/news)

Quick question and yes I know the main focus is on the flighting and believe me I’ve been trying to play it a lot so I can give feedback but I was just wondering will I get the Halo Insider nameplate?

It will all depend on your participation and motivation. If you are smn who participated in the progam then there is no doubt.

So far I don’t mind the new halo 3 armors, at first I was a little annoyed with them, but they have grown on me. I like the post match top 3 pose thing. Ice box is just a remake of a halo 2 map (can’t think of the name of it at the moment). Firefight with flood is fun but stalls out when the flood get stuck in the spawn, and the fact the don’t leave the spawn. I haven’t attempted to play the campaign yet to find the new things they added but I might try it sometime later.

I really excited for that all content that 343 let us see in this flight, some challenges need a few changes but, this season will be very good dude, I can assure you!

Yup, sadly some issues were found with the flood, specifically the elite flood which their AI are sometimes really bizarre. I’ve pointed out this issue before and i hope 343 will look into it

I submitted a ticket on the flood thing.

Mine won’t load. Stuck on the Mcc helmet screen. Any thoughts?

1.Try to restart your game
2. Restart your device
3. Delete the game and reinstall
4. Make sure you downloaded the right version
5. If you have an old version of a flight (like MCC SEASON 7 flight) delete it and keep the new one
6. Finally, shut down your device.
7. If all of this didn’t work, report it to 343 by submitting a ticket

We are all excited and happy to see 343 working on our favorite game! I hope they continue supporting Halo!

Firefight feels less like it’s Season 8 complete and more like they’re gauging community feedback for Season 9
not a bad idea tbh, theirs still more they can add such as Stealth Elites which are supposedly in the Vanilla files for 3 and ODST, though unused.

Icebox is just as good as I remember Turf being, tons of fun for FFA modes and the like.
though there is one wall that’s a bit glitchy by the Brute Plasma rifle spawn, and I feel like the weather patterns aren’t as smoothly transitioned as they should be, nor being used in the right streets and buildings.

dislike the new armors more than I did initially (aside from the greek hoplite ones); still stand by my original stance if only for them releasing all of them at the same time. would have probably been more positive if it was like “greek sets and a mix of legacy based and H:O sets this season, medieval and a mix of legacy based and H:O sets next season, Nordic and a mix of legacy based and H:O sets for the last season” sort of thing

I do admit that they could have done more for firefight but it’s still better than nothing. However, i did like the way they thought about armors, they aren’t perfect but they are a beginning, it shows us how far 343 can go with the customization. I do like them ngl, but i still have to admit, they could have maybe went further. The new map is amazing, had no issue with it yet.

If you have any issues regarding the new season, you can send a ticket to 343 and they will look into it and read your feedback. They will answer to the community if they have enough of those feedbacks.

Same, nothing seems to be working for me after trying just about everything

I have noticed when the game ends and it goes to show the top 3 players. There has been a problem with the name tags of players not being correct. I also found that the Reach helmets seem really big for the body and there is and issue when I equip certain armor my arms disappear. Other than that I’d say I’d hoped for more but what we got for armor is pretty good. Although I don’t get halo look or feel about them. Altogether pretty good and just have to fix a few things.

As i said to everyone else, try to restart your game, restart your device, delete and re-install the app. Make sure you downloaded the right version, then it should work. If not, report it to 343 by submitting a ticket. Also make sure to delete the older flights

You could always submit a ticket to 343 so they can look into that glitch/bug! I’ve experienced rarely those stuff but it should not be avoided ofc

I really don’t like the new Halo armours and I’m not entirely hyped for them to be added to the MCC.

As individual assets they are amazing. Incredibly detailed, great to look at. They really are works of art being honest.
But, to me, it’s just not ‘Halo’. I also appreciate that art style is open to interpretation but I think this is the only design choice so far that just doesn’t agree with me. I want to play Halo, not Halo with a Mordhau skin set. Or Destiny, for that matter.

I also recognise that you can disable the armours visually in game. But as far as I’m aware you can’t be selective with that in any way. I’m happy to see all of the others. But not not these armours for example.

For me, I’d be happy for them to be added to the game as long as we got the option to disable only these skins.
For example under the “New Skins” option. We could have ‘Enabled’. ‘Enabled (Excluding Alternate Universe)’ and ‘Disabled’.

I do feel like they missed the mark with this one - If there is a solution as I have mentioned above, I will feel more comfortable with their addition.

There is always a place for improvement. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the armors feeling not like halo. I do understand your issues with these type of armors. You can make a ticket and send a feedback to 343, your voice will be heard. Make sure to participate and state your opinion. 343 will answer to their fans! Let’s hope the future updates will be more satisfying for our playerbase

Finally got my hands on the Flight and I’ll start with the positives.

Icebox is an absolute gorgeous map and I can’t wait to play more of it when it launches. The took a great map (Turf) and gave it a new skin and it looks gorgeous. I love the ominous nighttime atmosphere with the falling snow.

I like the poses at the end, and how they’re not too cheesy.

Now to the negatives… I’m sure you all know where this is going. Before I got my hands on the flight I had only seen images of the new armors and I absolutely hated them. Then I started customizing my spartan to see how they looked and I hated them even more.

Once I was finished choosing all my pieces I saw all of them together zoomed out and my spartan looked like a character from a completely different game, and I didn’t get a single Halo vibe from it at all. Got even less of a Halo vibe when seeing them in a match.

With the exception of the Thor and Loki helmets (because they actually have a big visor), none of the helmets or armor pieces looked like they belong. And yes I already know what people are going to say “Hyabusa and Haunted exist, canon doesn’t matter, blah blah blah” but the armor should still resemble Halo in some way, but just plain don’t and look like they belong in a different game. This isn’t CoD, Destiny, or Fortnite. We don’t need to jam crazy armors in people’s faces to evolve or change to appeal to fans of those games. Let Halo have it’s own identity and stick with the art style that matches the universe and the lore.

Lastly, I’m aware that the armors can be toggled off, but what people who say this don’t realize is that:

A. All of the other armors from previous seasons at least suit the Halo universe, these don’t one bit.

B. A lot of people have been grinding challenges since the seasons started, and we shouldnt have to toggle off everything we grinded for just so we don’t have to see armor that has no place in a Halo game in the first place. 343 needs to find a way to toggle these armors off for this season.

If this is a sign of things to come for the future or MCC and Infinite, I’m gonna be pretty disappointed.

I respect your opinion because i actually agree on the fact those armors didn’t look like spartan armors at all or at least linked to halo. Those feedbacks will encourage the devs to think about it and even maybe change their ways. We got what we got and we can’t change it, though we can still send feedbacks and find solutions to offer it to 343. Make sure to submit a ticket and send it to 343, enough of those tickets can greatly change things
