I mean, If we can view medals after each mission, surely there should be a button on the same screen to send us to the main menu rather than loading the next mission up? If it is a new feature then fair enough, but it would still be QoL

Here’s an actual QoL improvement - add the “Press X to Party Up” feature back to Halo. Why did 343 remove this?

Really? Are you in US? I pretty much play CE exclusively and have no trouble finding BTB. Typically, at first you have to wait for the game in progress to end but once you’re with a group, you can find matches back to back rapidly. I’m assuming you have cross platform play ON and input based matchmaking OFF? It’s also worth nothing there’s usually a couple BTB custom lobbies going and they’re populated. A lot of Blood Gulch. Last weekend we were playing sniper/rocket CTF on different maps like Hang Em High and Longest. On Custom Edition people used to play rocket flag on Longest so it was a nice throwback.
Add me to your friends list and you can join me. Like I said, I play frequently.
Sorry fisher, I was replying to ChrisAWJBethel regarding bots, not you. This forum doesn’t make it very obvious who’s replying to who. I totally agree with your statement, there should be a return to main menu button after a mission.
Also +1 here for “press X to party up” and bring back the veto system!

You can leave the weird politics mention out of it - this is across the entire gaming industry.

Yeah, you’re right. And I don’t expect 343i to make any of the changes I listed above anytime soon. It’s been years and they haven’t. But at least I’ll know I said something about it.
And yeah, I know no one likes H4 Spartan Ops. It’s not fun. But I feel part of the reason for that is because they didn’t launch it in MCC with the online features it was designed around. It’s not meant for solo play. It never was.
Back in 2012 on Xbox 360, it really wasn’t that bad. It was fine. But because they rushed out the MCC in 2014 with missing features, it retroactively became a flop.
I’m positive though that if they restored its online features, they could breathe new life into it. Just like they did with H3 ODST Firefight.
I’m not saying I’m in love with the mode. All I’m saying is I just want H4 to be restored to the level of quality it was at when I bought it in 2012.
All I want to see is each of the classic games restored to the level of quality that they were in when they came out on Xbox and Xbox 360. You would think by now that would be a slam dunk right? Well, EIGHT YEARS after the MCC was commercially released and that has still yet to happen. It’s frustrating 
Also, thank you everyone for replying

Ideally, splitscreen should have a single toggle between widescreen and 4:3 for all titles. The widescreen zooms the image ever so slightly and might not be preferred by everyone. Right now it’s a mix of both aspect ratios, which is definitely not ideal.
As for QoL improvements. Classic audio and music for H2 Anniversary campaign.

They should put the story prologues from the original manuals in the games’ main menus or first loading screens. For first-time players it would be harder to get into the plot and lore of the series the way it is now. It’s like watching the Star Wars movies without the opening crawls.
