There are those in the Halo community who wish to see the legacy menus, loading screens, etc. brought to MCC. There are two main issues with the menus request:
- MCC, while aimed at fans, needs to be accessible to newcomers. Only requiring a single user interface to be learned helps with that.
- MCC has an overwhelming amount of new settings. Cramming them into user interfaces that were never designed to accommodate them could get messy.
Please consider these downsides moving forward.

As much as I’d like them as an option as well, at the end of the day it’s just a nice convenience and there are more important things that 343 need to focus on like adding Halo 2 and 4 into CGB. It does kinda suck for people on Xbox (ie. me) as they can’t do this, but I know on PC you can mod the menu backgrounds to whatever you want so that is a decent option for pc players. I think though down the line I’d like a better main menu background then what we have now, or at least an option to pick between all the seasonal menus they added into the game as I really liked some but not so much for some others.

Not sure. I think the UI is fine as it is but if people really want older UI or something similar looking then might 343i could add in a toggle that swaps background images based on their games and they could be set so that way fans could even go to previous backgrounds that 343i used for previous seasons from MCC.
Having separate UI’s is obviously not going to work considering this is a collection of games.
What could work is including visual elements of each games’ legacy UI into MCC. That way each game would still feel it’s own thing while the overall UI remains unified.
