Hard to believe there isn’t any campaign crossplay. Are there any plans to add it? Always preferred Halo for the single player. Im trying to get someone into the story and just into Halo generally but hard to do when we can’t play campaign together

It apparently is really hard to do with how bad the OG coding for the games are. It’s also why coop on MCC is a buggy mess for everyone that’s not the host
For real? I haven’t tried yet but I was hoping a couple of my PC friends could jump into Reach with no issue. That sucks

This is correct. It would take about 6 to 12 months per game to rewrite the old code needed to make it work, this excludes time for testing, flighting/feedback and bug fixing. Unlikely to happen anytime soon, if at all

Yeah unfortunately it is for real. I was so disappointed when we tried to play but got a message pop up in game saying its only across Multiplayer, Firefight and Forge. I understand it may be difficult but this is Halo, a game series renowned for its amazing (imo at least) campaigns

It’s worth it. Its still kinda crappy to leave single player players out in terms of crossplay

I agree. I’m mainly a campaign player for Halo, and I have friends on pc who refuse to touch their xbox again… so we can’t play the great campaigns. And they don’t really touch mp, so that sucks too

Lets be honest, it was pretty bad on consoles a majority of the time as well.

It’s been years since I played an og Halo game that’s not on the MCC, but I don’t remember it being as buggy as it is now. It might have been, but I don’t think I could find 3 others with a working 360 to test this… plus I don’t want to use my 360, hasn’t been touched in many many years
it sucks but i wouldnt want to co op unless it was LAN or split screen because the net code for campaign is terrible, and seems to be worse on MCC for some people.
they fixed firefight’s netcode so it should be possible but i have no idea how much work that is, i can’t imagine that it would be worth the time and money.
Really hope they get around to doing this, would be quite disappointing if they don’t. Friends are an assortment of PC and Xbox gamers so would be great for us to be able to come together in PvE modes.

Where did you get those info on how long it would take? All i could find to this is the paragraph in the H4 launch blog where its stated that crossplay campaign would need intense updates to the netcode and due to that it wasnt ready back then. Hope theyre working on it and bring it with some future update tho, would be awesome
Halo Mods discord server, information is from Farn (project lead). It’s not a feature they are working on right now
Did it for MP, did it for firefight, it can be done for Campaign. My advice to them: figure it out
