Currently, we are tracking towards making these changes in the next content update for MCC, which is scheduled for November. We’ll have more information to share with you all as we get closer to that point.
We can expect the retroactive payout in November, but I’m curious what other content they plan to release. Could we see the remaining Halo Online armor for H3? Weapon/Vehicle skins for H2C and Reach? Mod tools for H4?
I appreciate the expectation setting here. While smaller more frequent updates were promised it has not been the case this year, and all I ask is the team keeps the community in the loop. Between Flood FF in April and the August update it’s been pretty barren in news.
since they planned on adding mod tools for each game, i’d hope mod tools for halo 4 come in this update. i also hope steam workshop support comes in this update too to make playing the mods easier.
more content would be nice, but the exchange makes earning this content really slow. some way to earn content faster would be nice.
also, and this is much more personal, is that i’d like to see the original background screens somehow return as options for the background select menu.
Halo 4 mod tools. HDR for PC. Remaining Halo Online Armor. Importing the Halo 1/2 Anniversary skulls into 4 like they’ve done for 3, ODST, and Reach. More of the Halo Online maps for Halo 3.
This really is what I want for MCC content updates in the future (some of these might show up in the November update):
Enabling and disabling boundaries in Forge
An increase to private file limits
More Forge items
Return of more cut content for not just CE and 2, but every game
Halo 5 armor sets and helmets for H4 and Reach (for the latter, we can go with helmets only)
H2A ODST armor
Ability to keep your selected menu screen videos instead of always going back to the default ones
More collectibles for all campaigns, including Spartan Ops! Adding Moa statues to Reach and H4 will make me play these campaigns even more, especially the latter.
Hopes for November content update (and/or beyond):
Halo 4 mod tools
Halo 1 Anniversary campaign mod tools
Halo 2 Anniversary campaign mod tools
Halo 4: Customization UI reworked to be more consistent with the other titles’ Customization UIs
Halo 4: Support/Tactical modules from the Halo 4 Championship Bundle fully implemented
Halo 4: Full implementation of the Extended Skull List as common to Halo 2 Anniversary
Halo Reach: Full implementation of the Extended Skull List as common to Halo 2 Anniversary
Halo CE: Official implementation of the Acrophobia skull
Halo 3: Implementation of the Assassin skull
Moa statues implemented MCC-wide, including as a Forge item and being active in multiplayer/firefight maps in matchmaking (and Spartan Ops)
(Maybe) New section in the UI showing text-based hints to where the Moa Statues can be found (anybody remember the Halo 4 easter egg hints?)
Digsite Halo CE armor variants added to MCC CE customization
Halo 3: Implementation of (all) remaining Halo Online Spartan armor not yet released
Halo Reach: Enabling the capability to mount more than one module on a helmet
Halo Reach: Cross-helmet module compatibility
Halo Reach: Jorge’s red visor added to visor customization options
Halo Reach: Haunted module removed from Pilot helmet variant, converted into a visor customization
More Forge updates, previously listed in this post: https://forums.halowaypoint.com/t/new-forge-update-what-a-disappointment/546778/12?u=f35lemnterky
Key among them being the option for magnet mechanics in Reach.
