MCC Season 8: What do you think will be added?

I know that we’re still relatively far off from Season 8, but what do you think will be in Season 8 when we get it? I’ll start.

  • CGB gains Halos 3,4 - Two or three maps from Halo Online get added to the custom games in 3 - H2C and CE get new armor stuffs, skins, etc. - New weapon skins from Halo Online get added to 3And that’s basically it. Nothing crazy, but yeah. I left H2A out of the discussion because I believe Season 9 will center around H2A (Getting it into the CGB, new Armors, etc.) As for the Halo Online DMR, I feel that if they add it, which seems unlikely as the BR already fills the spotlight, and there’s not much room for the DMR, getting it in the sandbox might be nice, but personally I don’t think it’s needed. But if they add it I personally see it coming in season 10.

I think we’ll see H2A content before H2C, since the devs have semi confirmed that H2C is last on the list due to all the technical stuff they want to accomplish with it (beta and cut content restorations, bug fixes, visual overhauls for closer parity with OG xbox, etc.). Meanwhile they’ve been hinting at skins, visors, and thorage-like cleanup for H2A since around season 6’s flight.

My guess is:

  • the H2A overhaul is finalized and released {something is being done to H2 but hasn’t been shown off just yet} - the addition of the “preserve” chest to reach (possibly with per-piece elite customization) {Neither were present in the flight, Preserve is in a greyzone if it’s a seasonal or an exchange exclusive} - more halo online elite and spartan armor for halo 3 {they went with the Guildwars Art Directors personal creations instead of what people wanted due to a need to promote Infinites “Fractures” system} - Icebox and possibly reactor get released for halo 3 {Icebox was in the flight and will be releasing October-November, Reactor is currently unknown if it will be released at a later date since the Team is on record stating that it might be too much work to optimize for Halo 3} - Halo 3 or H2A be added to the CGB, alongside further CGB improvements {Halo 3 is getting added next}<em>Edit:</em> Because so many people were liking this lately, allow me to point out that this was made before the S8 flight showed some of what was coming and some of what was held back.

I think a lot of people are rooting for new content for any game other than H3. I personally would be happy with new content for any of the games. It’d be nice to see H2A get some love due to its massive potential, but if H3 gets new armor or maps again I wouldn’t be upset.

Probabilities:

  • Weapon skins, Vehicle Skins, and Visor Colors for Halo: Reach. - Weapon & Vehicle Skins in Campaign & Firefight for Halo: CE Classic, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach. - Friendly AI on Firefight maps that feature the Warthog in Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach (Lost Platoon, Beachhead, Unearthed)
    Wish List:

  • AI Bots in Halo: Reach multiplayer. - New Firefight maps converted from multiplayer maps in Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. - New customization options for Firefight in Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. - Per-piece armor customization for ODSTs in Halo 3: ODST Firefight. - Edit existing Firefight maps in Forge for Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach.
    My favorite season thus far has been without a doubt Season 3; not only did it add ODST Firefight, but it also added a ton of new customization options, plus weapons and vehicles, that weren’t in the original release. I want to see them do more of this in MCC. There’s still a lot of weapons and vehicles from Halo 3 that could be ported to ODST Firefight, and Reach Firefight has yet to receive vehicle customization options like ODST has. I want to be able to use the Gauss Warthog, Scorpion Tank, Falcon, and Banshee on Reach Firefight maps.

Finally I can customize the elites

343i already said what to expect for Season 8 it’s all going to focus on improvements to Halo 2 and Halo 2A as well as providing new content for both and possibly more things for Reach as well.

Not so much think but hope, but if it were possible to have the Halo 3 Beta armor added I would be ecstatic!

I also imagine weapon skins will come to Halo: Reach at some point.

If we could get the Eternal Flames in Halo 3 then I would be happy :grin:

I also wouldn’t say no to the Halo 1999 armour being added to Halo 3 or Halo: Reach, either one.

I find the game very complete right now, so if 343 doesn’t add more content, I don’t mind.

Is there a source for this?

It was mentioned in one of their weekly live plays awhile back

I’d also love it if the view models with a centered crosshair could be updated in Halo 2.

Currently it’s the only game that hasn’t received a correction.

Also a fix to the missing black bars to Halo 2’s chapters would be nice.

This would be great. H2/H2A is overdue for some new customization

Would like to see at least Halo2A and Halo 3 in the next update of the CGB.

Viewmodel adjustments

I keep hearing conflicting things with regards to H2C, it sounds more like it might wind up being S9-S10 rather than S8, though H2A is looking like it might still be S8.

More skins that no one will be able to show off since half the “players” in your match are AFK or quit. Can’t wait.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if they finally gave us some more h2a remastered maps , I mean right at the start mass migration of the population over to infinite . It would really bookend the poor old h2A and mcc saga rather nicely

The two must haves are Halo 3 CGB and Halo 2 Classic and Anniversary improvements.

Halo 3 in CGB? Pretty self explanatory. It’s forge might be more limited compared to Reach and 4, but I think people want those classic custom game modes back, in their original maps and custom settings. Fat Kid on Foundry? Yes please.

Halo 2? Really, really, really needs some love. Classic needs some improvements such as being able to turn the in-game music up. It’s kinda ridiculous how quiet it is compared to Anniversary and even the other games.
And some new skins/colours for Spartans/Elites would be a nice addition. Anniversary really just needs more armour pieces for both Spartans and Elites. More remastered maps would be miracle, but I don’t expect that to happen. Still would be nice though.

I think the only way they can fix that issue is a join in progress system like in H5. And idle players are kicked after 3 minutes “wake up John”
