I’d like (if even possible) rally points for Halo CE and 2 along with acrophobia for CE.

Definitely the split screen
Bought the collection specifically to do campaign coop with my kid, also bought Xbox controllers for the task
The look of crushing disappointment on his face when I told him we can’t play together is still burned into my memory, and a couple years later I’m still waiting and hoping

I adore this idea, though I do wish it could also be made to include the Halo Online OST too
In my opinion, the best way would be to bring the timed unlock requirements back, however make them permanent like the unlocks Halo 3 and 4 had in their original releases
Biggest ones to me would be restoring assassin in Halo 3 (it was cut, and almost works now that it was semi brought over from H2A), and 3rd person in ODST (worked but was cut, with luck it could even be brought back to Halo 3 proper.)
Biggest things to me would be bringing the Stationary Gauss Turret from ODST to Halo 3, and giving H2A some restorative updates as well.
less likely but still welcome would be bringing the Halo Online DMR over to Halo 3 too, as well as updating H2A with any missing Halo 4 weapons/vehicles, and vice versa. (Also maybe adding Halo 4’s The Pit to H2A officially)
Been after this for a long time, since ODST’s still lacking in some cases. In particular:
- the entire Stealth Elite Rank needs to be cleaned up and restored (both minors and majors are still in the files, albeit missing the Commando Harness)
- Elite Ultras need to be restored to the standard Elite Ranks (they expiremented with this in the flights, and the rank did exist earlier during Halo 3’s development before being cut)
- Elite Zealots need to be restored as a Boss Rank (the rank did exist earlier during Halo 3’s development before being cut)
- Spec-Ops Grunt allies need to be restored for the nighttime floodfight boons (their rank exists in the files, and has only ever been used for a figurines box art)
- remaining Halo 3 weapons added to ODST’s firefight
- Halo Online Ammo Crate pickups added to ODST Firefight
- Sgt Stacker added as a playable ODST (would tie in with the Another Day at the Beach cinematic, could use either an H2A ODST Helmet for cutscene consistency, or the Hornet Pilot Helmet and Chest for consistency with Legacy ODST Customization
- The area from the Another Day at the Beach/Outskirts Recreated and added as an ODST Firefight map
Reach could also use some updates such as:
- ODST Boons added as a setting for all maps, not just I04
- Vehicle settings like ODST
- Elite Assassinations agains NPC ODST’s restored (if not already done)
- Drones restored as an enemy type
- Guta restored as a Hazard on Waterfront
- Lone Wolf added as a Firefight Map

Also as a more personal cosmetic related thing: Restored Reach Armors removed from the Legacy Visuals Toggle; the Toggle was for new cosmetics, not to remove Legacy content that went unreleased due to bugs or hardware limitations (just like Halo 4’s DLC armor was with MCC)
I also want to see the original ODST armor from Halo 3 (Chest and Shoulders) Restored to Legacy Visuals alongside the Hornet Pilot Helmet and Chest (all pieces can be seen on the mission The Covenant, though only the ODST helmet was added to the Spartan Customization)

Multiplayer Bot support
This is very important for me or non-US residents and players with bad connection. I am in Asia and the Asian player base is very small, and I often cannot find a match, so I often need to sacrifice sleep time to connect or find a match.
And sometimes the search time on weekends is mostly more than 5 hours to get a match.

Here is a list of what I really want to see from the collection that is remaining for me to consider the collection finished as a whole (alot of these things I have expressed in prior postings on the forums here):
- Campaign Matchmaking
- Spartan Ops Matchmaking
2a. Time, Scoring and Medal System from Campaign ported to Spartan Ops (which works in matchmaking) - Campaign Coop on Dedicated Servers
3a. Campaign Crossplay expanded to Halo Reach, CEA, 2A and 4 - 3-4 player coop support in CEA and 2A’s Campaign.
- A Campaign Mission Browser for both Firefight and Campaigns from Reach-4
5a. Campaign Mission Browser for Mods from the Steam Workshop
5b. Mod Browser intergrated into MCC itself so modding is possible on the PC Gamepass and Xbox Versions - Custom Game Browser for Mods (with Anticheat off with in game Mod Browser for downloading mods outside of Steam for PvP).
- Join in Progress for Campaign, Firefight and Spartan Ops Missions
- Custom Game Browser for Mods (with Anticheat off).
- Armor Customization for the Following
9a. Halo Reach Elite Armor Customization per piece
9b. Halo Reach Weapon and Vehicle Skins
9c. Halo 2 Classic Visor (for Spartans) Customization and Weapon and Vehicle Skins
9d. Halo 2 Anniversary More Elite Armor Customization and Weapon and Vehicle Skins (both UNSC and Covenant), especially please make more of the armor in line with Halo 2 inspired classic designs at least!
9e. Any remaining Halo Online Armor Customization for Halo 3
9f. Halo 3: ODST Armor Customization and Weapon and Vehicle Skins ported over from Halo 3
9g. Halo 4 Gear menu (in the Main Menu) should have all weapons be in 3D in the Customization menu instead of 2D images! - More Halo 2 Anniversary Map Remakes of Halo 2 Classic Maps
- Bring the Rest of the Halo Online Maps into Halo 3 (Sky Bridge, Reactor and Diamondback)
- Splitscreen Support on PC
- Bring Acrophobia Skull into Halo CE (why is this not an official skull yet when we can mod it in? Who knows)
- Bring More Skulls into Halo Reach and Halo 4 Campaigns, Firefight and Spartan Ops
- Halo 2 Classic Multiplayer did get Skull Support, maybe they should expand this to all the other Halo Multiplayers?
- Controller remapping for all Halo games
- Halo CEA and 2A Campaign Graphic and Audio Assets supported in the Mod Tools on Steam
- Halo 2 Anniversary Graphics and Audio in the Campaign Menu split out like CEA Campaign
I think this might be everything I still want to see from this product in general. There are probably still dozens of other things I forgot to mention here but this list would be my remaining dream list I want to see for the collection. I could have included Halo 5 but as we all know by now, 343 cannot add more Halo engines to the collection (because it will break the collection) so all we can hope for is a separate port of the game on PC.

MULTIPLAYER FOR STEAM DECK!!! Pleaseeeeee x100…

Yessir. This. It might even be a bit worse on MCC given how much stickier the aim assist is in those games.
Infinite plays like a dream on mouse now. I hope they make this a priority after all the positive feedback they got.

why waste server space on campaign? i feel as though that isnt needed as you can just host it yourself
i also forgot to mention this in my initial
post, but having a way to see another players spartan would be nice. it would be cool to check out the cool armor combos people have

Ping & FPS overlay like Infinite.

MnK bullet mag fix (Using Reach for example - The dmr is difficult to connect shots even if you’re aiming on someone who is moving around the stats of the weapon are aim assist high and bullet mag very low so when MnK support was added no equalization was implemented so shots with 0 aim assist will blatantly miss because of the low magnetism. For example the sniper has lower aim assist and higher bullet magnetism which is why on MnK this is one of the best upsides to using it.)
Continuation → Across the board equalize the magnetism for mouse & keyboard so it’s not overpowered but actually usable. It’s really not usable even at a higher level because of low magnetism and high time to kill. -
Halo Reach comp is always invasion. ← Why… When Halo 3 has numerous comp modes, and all other games get comp modes respectively. Why does Halo reach not have a community gametype like invasion in casual and no actual MLG gametype? (which btw with elites literally making it non-competitive. )
Please change this. It’s just nonsensical to say the least. -
Add the keystone helmet to Halo Reach & 3. Best additional helmet added into MCC by a longshot.
-
I’m cool with new additions of stances and all because they don’t make an impact to the game, but it would be cool to get the classic view of friend’s spartans when in lobby to see their spartan like Reach/3.
-
Gonna bump that last point I just made because I think everyone can agree it would be a nice addition.

Simplify the ranking system. Too many ranks currently.
How many ranks in all you may not be aware. 330.
Three hundred and thirty ranks from tour 1 rookie to tour 11 general.
Honestly overall pretty happy from owning MCC on disc on day 1 in 2014 to now. It’s pretty solid overall.

I want toggle bloom for every halo games. Why it’s was difficult to add this base function on the release? My eyes is not immortal.
I would like to see the following added to the MCC at some point if support is continued
- Missing maps added
- Halo Online remaining maps added
- Halo 2 E3 Demo added to the extras tab
- Cut content from the games restored
- A fix for the weapon create that flys out of the map on halo reach “pillar of autumn”
- All of the missing achievements from halo CE: A, Reach, Halo 2 Vista, Halo 3, Halo 4 and ODST added.

Mainly its because of the PvE challenges (especially that Coop Challenge) and you could earn achievements if you do not want to have to invite people to play with.
Bots in Custom Games (Multiplayer, Firefight, maybe even Spartan Ops). That’s really about it for me.

MCC should become an Xbox Play Anywhere title so people can play it on Xbox and PC after buying the game once.
Windows Store version needs the same easy modding capabilities as the Steam version.
Dedicated servers for Campaign and Campaign matchmaking.

I personally want less people cheating there’s always someone with a speed hack during ctf or someone with invincibility
Also, I with that the original menus were there.
And lastly, I wish that the customization the characters for each game looked like what they would look in the game that there for. Because, the colors for spartans are different in the customization menu than what it looks like in the game,

Hello all, I’ve been from Halo Combat Evolved/Halo Custom Edition PC Community for over 10 years. The Halo 1 PC community has been dwindling over the years however we’ve made numerous attempts to get it active again. We host our own mini tournaments, however the biggest & most premier tournament we’ve hosted are our clanwars http://clanwars.cc/league_home.aspx?GID=34 which we’ve hosted since 2006. Also anyone can create there own map with the halo editing kit allowing a map they created to be played in competitive halo pc tournaments. With all that being said, we believe Halo 1 on MCC can be modified to better suit the Halo PC community with a better experience.
The mouse input on MCC can be so much better. If the mouse input on MCC was the same as the original Halo Combat Evolved on PC, that will be fantastic. Also PC players would like MCC to have magnetism. We generally don’t like the weapon sounds on MCC, the post-game Carnage Report & the in game scoreboard. We believe that Halo 1 & 2 should have a Server browser where people can join any server they like. Also, 343 can start offering a server rent system for players to rent servers publicly for all players to play or privately so competitive games can be played. This is how it works on Halo PC, we rent servers from hosts publicly or privately. We configure our servers with maps, gametypes & the list goes on.
We’re not fond of MCC only have halo 1 2v2 competitive only. On normal halo PC, we can play any competitive game from 1v1 to 8v8. We have communities on discord & Facebook where clans will look for games against other clans. Simple as posting for 5v5 for example. They agree to play in either of their server that they rent monthly & 2 or 3 maps are played. Also we don’t like social games being 2v2, 4v4 or 8v8. Again this can be fixed by having a server browser.
Another thing we don’t like are we can’t seem to choose what map we want to play in social games or competitive games. It’s randomly chosen. I’ve played the same map 3 times in a row already on social games. On normal halo pc, in a public server, there’s a map rotation or a map vote asking players what map they want to play next. In competitive games, each team will play a map that they want to play followed by a tiebreaker 3rd map that both teams agree on. If Halo PC were to be re-released today almost 20 years later with all the fixes necessary, it will be a best selling game.
343 has brought MCC & Infinite to PC, it’s about time they listen to what the PC Community wants to have a better gaming experience. It’s no secret, most of the halo universe prefer halo 1 to 3 as the best in terms of gameplay & storytelling. Things can really be done better & 2023 seems like the best time to start. Almost everything with the original halo pc release was perfect for PC Gaming & experience.
