Who even made this? It’s fucking great yet 343 is now doing shit like the campaign evolved. I don’t get it.

lol

lmao even

>>724912324 (OP)
yes old games still exist and you can go back and play them. thanks for sharing anon

do you not remember this piece of shit not working correctly for years before it got fixed?

>>724912532
Yeah but it’s so fucking good now. Why not bring it to ps5?

I think they fired the guy who fixed the MCC

>>724912586
im assuming is due to the people who were responsible for fixing this piece of shit were made to work on infinite so resources are scattered with also the reveal of the ce demake

>>724912532
>implying it's fixed
It only got less broken over time, it's still not fixed

>>724912953
at least we got mods to help fix anything else

>>724912324 (OP)
The safest marketing trend at the moment is nostalgia. AAA devs apparently dont know how to do anything except port old games to UE5 and they are even fucking that up. Zoomies and Alphas only know roblox and fortnight and so all that is left is millennials as a target audience.

>>724913086
Didn't they start to DMCA moders for daring to change their perfect game?

why are there so many gaylo threads all of a sudden. there isn't a single game in this series worth discussing.

>>724912586
they can rake in more money by making indian ue5 slop "remakes" and selling them individually to the snoy audience

>>724913192
did they really dmca workshop mods or are you a lying faggot?

>>724912324 (OP)
It took them ten years to fix it. Yeah it’s good now. Halo fans mostly just stay in this and don’t look up.

They should have put a little more effort into it. I replayed 1 with the remastered graphics and for some reason they change the thickness of a lot of trees, rocks and other barriers. I was constantly shooting up walls

>>724913542
The (can't believe I'm typing this) first.. remake... was a quick cashgrab just using Reach assets and is full of weirdness because of it. Should've just played it with classic graphics, that's where the true remaster is as it's in full HD and unlimited framerate. In Halo 3 and Reach those improvements really shine as all the original assets and textures are really high quality but had to be compressed to hell to run on the xbox360

I think the people who were responsible for the mcc are either fired or work on infinite now.

I remember logging into this after a few years of not playing it and it unlocked over 2000 points worth of achievements for me, most of them multiplayer, even though I've never played MCC mp.

>>724912324 (OP)
Probably the idea that they want to capitalize on Playstation with something all new and attention-grabbing instead of a nostalgia collection. That, and they don't want to resurrect MCC a third time after the second "fell on its face" because people revolted against them trying to add microtransactions to make it worth the second effort's time. Lo and behold, Digsite aside, once they realized they couldn't get away with it, they immediately started chopping the MCC support. Probably think the skins and shit they did add were pointless charity for ungrateful players, too.

>>724914881
Every time I look at the unlocks and there is like 3 seasons of fugly out of place Halo 3 shit I have disabled.

>>724915050
Legit, besides some bonus stuff for 4, and Fireteam Raven for 3 with maybe a couple back pieces like the Xbox? Basically all the extra cosmetics they added were absolute unfitting ass unless you slap some basic skins like Desert/Woodland on your guns.
>hey people love halo 3's art style more than our own and we're working on halo infinite to go back to that somewhat, what should we add to MCC
>HALO 4 UNDERSUITS BABY

>>724915239
I don't get it the most because H2A was the newest game in there, needed content, and actually has the art style they used.

>>724915402
and its MP got abandoned super fast despite getting even its own Forge mode because oops, outsourced project, so 343 themselves and whoever they hired on for PC / post-re-release just didn't wanna fuck with that anymore
you can label that at literally everything with the MCC, they fixed a lot of bugs and issues but didn't touch a lot of underlying problems because of retardation with all the outsourcing. then they reworked the menus to run on UE4 and tried to hijack their own systems from within to fit all their new shit. it's also probably why Reach is the skeleton basis of Campaign Evolved; porting Reach forwards likely makes it THE latest code base besides Infinite for them to use.

Oh god I forgot that launch MCC's menus were so slapped together because 343 wasn't sure how to contain all the different developers and ports doing their own shit that you couldn't even change armor pieces individually, you were stuck for like five years with a handful of pre-set kits.

will they ever put halo 5 and infinite on it?

>>724916540
no. halo 5's lootboxes can't be contained into the mcc probably without major issues, and halo infinite is its own massive system of technical debt bullshit where they literally are trying to abandon it over complaints about the UI being too hard to deal with much anymore.

>>724913192
>>724913321
they're probably mixing MCC up with Halo Online and El Dewrito

>>724917459
>>724916540
I don't see why they can't just add 5 to MCC and auto unlock all the armor, and just either exclude Warzone, or make it so you have a limited number of every REQ card available for all matches

>>724912324 (OP)
It's alright, although the enemy AI was buffed hard in the MCC version of CE. Makes the game harder than the original despite being able to use keyboard and mouse in MCC.

Is there a bypass for the Microsoft login on PC? An offline mode? Not interested in multiplayer.

>>724917459
Well that's what's cool about mcc, is it has all the shit unlocked so there's no need for lot boxes. Like you even have the recon helmet in 3 in the mcc.

>>724917904
that's probably why I dropped it on legendary, every room had to be perfect

>>724912324 (OP)
It's great and what i'd consider the proper way of preserving old games giving the option to use the classic graphics. Definitely one of not the only reason to have an xbox but here's the thing... they aren''t as willing to give all of these games away now under a single game price tag. What does it cost, $40? Yeah why do that when they can sell you the games over the course of several years without multiplayer for $70 each?
