Before you call banhammer Lets at least discuss this reasonably, No links to existing or idealised modded content will be allowed in this thread.
That bieng said
Bethesda announced for Fallout 4 that mods will be able to be brought over to the xboxone at E3, Microsoft obviously has no issue with the dreaded M word anymore.
343 I strongly urge you to let users create content the way skyrim and fallout 4 (Both Bethesda games) are.
I understand tainting matchmaking is off limits, for good reason, It however would benifet you as a developer to STRONGLY accept us the modding community with open arms, in regards to customs and campaign, Hell lets even throw customs away and just START with campaign only mods.
Ill leave you with ReviewTechUSA where he better explains Why it is the best idea to allow modding
I can’t think of any mods that I’d want for campaign. Can you give us some ideas as to what campaign mods would be popular?
Also, I’m not sure that there would be any mods that can do what forge/custom games can’t that I would be interested in, but I may just be too unfamiliar with modded FPSs.
i dont quite understand how they would work in halo fallout 4 and skyrim are both open world games thats why they work on those games

The easist mods would be simple BIPED swaps, IE changing a spartan to look like characters such as minecraft steve, or for you bronies a my little ponys with guns
To the more complex mods such as new campaign levels, overhauls to scenery
If you added customs/forge in, then modding could allow for even crazier things, Modders could essentially make forge canvases and new forge material, which could be accessed by everyone so they can make crazier content without modding knowlege
Again i willnot be posting links, but look up halo custom edition and you can see what modding can do for halo
Bethesda has always been mod friendly on pc though, and releases creation kits for their games. No kits have been available for halo so its not something they could easily implement at this point. Maybe if they set out to make halo 6 moddable it’d be doable but not this late in the cycle of development for 5. That being said, I agree it would be awesome to someday have user created content for custom games and little side missions people made for campaign.
Fallout is a large expansive and completely different type of game. Halo is not. No mods. Bye.

K thanx for your thought k bye
On topic though, with fallout allowing we will soon be able to see the file type used, the next step would be 343 setting up halo 5 to not checksum. thats where we would be at.
halo 3 reach and 4 have all had checksums that would check the file and overwrite it so it would be the same file as it started, all 343 needs to do is disable checksums and we would be set
Hell yea. It will be awesome to play a reimagen version of halo 5 by the community some years later afters its release like halo 1 pc and the spv 1, 2 and 3 campaign missiong created by CMT on the halomaps site.
As long as it does not touch multi-player I’m good with the idea. I Still remember the dark days of Halo 2.
For once i agree. I think adding modded campaigns could be a nice idea to have a small playlist or some sort for published mods that are accepted from the community. you know mods that actually work and are approved by game developers to be added to the game as a custom playlist of some sort.

Actually you are wrong on the fact that kits have never been made for halo. look at halo custom edition, I’ve spent many hours messing with that and adding new 3d models and animations.

You’re right I completely forgot about custom edition’s HEK, but that was done by gearbox. I just don’t see them releasing a newer modding tool for halo 5 unless it also got an eventual pc release.
The only real “mods” I want is a 1st person vehicles mod and custom vehicles/return of vehicles from older games. But it would add a whole new level of creativity to Halo, and if someone managed to make a Elite model mod, it may help satisfy that area of the community. Since other companies are doing it, why can’t 343i?

even this would be a step in a very good direction, pass through a filter, to keep cheating and racial/sexual content out
You lost me at brony.
Microsoft has always kept a careful watch over their Halo IP. Allowing people to mod the campaign would potentially open it up for things they do not want. They may not what someone or something associated with something else. IE Bronies

How about a mod that removes the hideous art direction of 4/5 and replaces it with the beautiful, unanimously-beloved art direction of Halos 1-Reach?
Actually, I think it should be custom games as well.

a valid point, but imagine the sells they would get by allowing it, im sure microsoft has at least mulled it over in their head (someone at 343+microsoft has a -Yoink!- for MLP , finding out it was bonnie ross this whole time would be HIlarious)
Note the formentioned statement does not reflect the accuracy of bonnie rosses insationable my little pony -Yoink!-, only the satiricle notion that it is probable that she love rainbow dash over pinky pie
If mods on Xbox One are confirmed to be possible, I want to mod everything on MCC. Modding Halo’s Campaign like I mod Skyrim is my dream game. I WANT IT NOW.
I’d want a mod that makes Halo 4’s art style look more like Halo 3. I’d want a mod that gives Marines much more protective armor. I’d want a mod that makes the Halo 3 Assault Rifle more useful. I’d want a mod that replaces Brutes with Elites in Halo 3 ODST. I’d want a mod that makes all enemies actually chase you and hunt you down. I’d want a mod that disable shields in ODST, and significantly gives me less health. I’d want a mod that makes Brutes more enjoyable in Halo 2. I’d want a mod that adds new Promethean types. I’d want a mod that gives you more maneuverability in all games. I’d want a mod that seriously fixes the Flood in Halo 2 to actually react to bullets and go down faster. I’d want a mod that buffs the Shotgun in Halo 3 and ODST. I’d want a mod that fixes the grenade throwing arc in ODST. I’d want a mod that makes Marines in all games hang back, don’t just stand out in the open, don’t charge into the middle of a crowd of Covenant, and use cover. I’d want a mod that gives vehicles health, and (visible) health bars in all Halo games, even for the UNSC vehicles in CE. I’d want a mod that disables 1sk Pistol kills and makes Hunters more of a thread in CE. I’d want a mod that makes Covenant in all games NEVER stand out in the open no matter what; if they aren’t rushing, they’re peeking out from behind cover. I’d want a mod that makes faces in Halo 3 look not crap. I’d want a mod that fixes some of the cutscenes in CEA. I’d want a mod that gives us the ability to command Marines (and Covenant for Arbiter missions). I’d want a mod that puts ODSTs in missions like the Truth and Reconciliation. I’d want missions that makes the ODSTs more competent than normal Marines. I’d want a mod that lets us play the battles of Alpha Halo which Chief didn’t take part in, where we play as either Marine or ODST, perhaps missions on the Autumn, a mission where you’re establishing Alpha Base, a mission where you’re taking a Covenant Cruiser, a mission where you’re taking supplies from the Autumn crashed on Halo, and missions where you’re Marines who have just escaped the Autumn and are traveling to an extraction point to be relocated to Alpha Base. I’d want a mod in Halo 3 ODST where we’re taking part in the battles Buck’s team didn’t, like a mission where all Marines in New Mombasa are finally ordered to evacuate. I’d want a mod for Halo 5 where we play as Blue Team on Earth fending off the other Covenant attacks. I’d want a mod for Halo 2 where we play as the Elites fighting the Brutes on High Charity. I’d want a mod for Halo 2 where we’re escorting Commander Keyes to the index on Delta Halo, fighting off Covenant and Flood. I’d want a mod for Halo 3 where we’re Master Chief on the Prophet’s keyship fighting our way through, ending with us escaping the ship riding debris to Earth.
Halo could really reach all new heights if mods were allowed on MCC.
