The MCC development team is adding cut Bungie-era content to Halo 1 and 2
>adding skins to a 20 year old game
frick 343
skins to a 20 year old game
source?
MCC has added weapon skins for CE, 2 and 3.
what is Halo 1 moron?
>zoomer thinks weapon skins are exclusive to new games
Those aren't skins, they're assets being added to the mod tools.
Does infinite have content yet
No.
They should just completely give up on that game and focus on the Master Chief Collection plus refund people the $50 they bought for the single-player addon and swap it out for a free copy of MCC.
343's best game is mediocre and they should just fix the Master Chief Collection before they even get started on that trainwreck. Once the Master Chief Collection 100% fix then they can focus on their other abortion with 100% workforce.
>refund people the $50 they bought for the single-player addon
anyone who actually bought Halo: Infinite is dumb as frick
multiplayer is f2p and the game is on game-pass, plus it only takes like a weekend to complete it (even LASO)
Still no forge mode but they can steal content from past devs to put in their game.
When are they adding Bandana to Reach and 4?
>cut enemies
>cut weapons
>cut vehicles
>cut missions
>all being restored to be totally playable
They're even restoring the Halo 2 E3 mission
I'm confused is actually going to be put into MCC or is this just going be a downloadable thing off of the Steam Workshop?
Probably paid DLC
mcc doesnt have workshop cause of those c**tS at anti cheat.
Supposedly they're going to make Steam Workshop work.
oh shid, thatd be nice.
>Working on Steam Workshop
>When Valve out of the gate lined up to let microsoft use it for Forge maps and they said no because they intentionally wanted to make it as convoluted as shit to use Steam integration
yeah....
What are the most interesting cases of cut content in Halo?
The entire game when it was still supposed to be a RTS for Macintosh. Or more functionally the last third of Halo 2.
How likely is it that MCC would get a mac port?
The shipmaster campaign missions that got scrapped during reach.
They wanted to show him as an ultra and squad leader opposite of noble
Damn that wouldve been sick
They must have cut that idea at the idea room. Halo was always really anal about having the player shoot humans.
It's because tiny humans with hitscan guns are not fun to shoot, at all, compared to colorful aliens with weird shapes and projectile plasma
You can literally just betray marines in any halo until they turn on you and guess what it's not fun to fight them
That's because the marines don't fight you like the covenant when you betray them. They don't use cover against you or try to retreat to cover each other.
I really like the idea that there was going to be boats and underwater enemies.
There was even a harpoon gun at one point.
Flood Juggernaut forms in Halo 2.
>Bungie's scraps that were cut for a reason are more interesting than the newest Halo game
What went wrong with infinite?
No content for people who want to play Halo, and not enough progression to keep the F2P players around. Once you finish your weekly challenges(something that can be done in 2 or 3 sessions), there's no reason to continue playing because there's nothing else to do.
And the game launched with fewer maps and modes than Halo CE.
But I'm biased, because I find cut content and game development very interesting.
>Once you finish your weekly challenges(something that can be done in 2 or 3 sessions), there's no reason to continue playing because there's nothing else to do.
So you are saying that the gameplay is not fun?
He's saying he doesn't play video games for fun, like most people who play them.
Unlocks were a mistake.
Achievement based unlocks were great. I remember being pissed at the CR system in Reach because I was like "What do the expensive unlocks show other than that you play a shitload of MP?". Now it's fricking fondly remembered because there were no mtx.
There should always be armor unlocked by engaging with every aspect of the game. Beating campaign, unlocking the skulls, reaching a high firefight wave, etc. MCC more popular than Halo Infinite, I would try to monopolize this by having MCC achievements unlock armors and coatings in Infinite like they did with Helioskrill in 5.
>Now it's fricking fondly remembered because there were no mtx.
No shit, the cancer keeps getting worse. People reminisce about map packs too. Give it another 5 years and we'll see unironic posts about how cool battle passes were and how the current cancer sucks.
I'm already at the point where I would rather have the lootboxes that overwatch had than a fricking battlepass
I also sort of dislike achievement based unlocks
Yeah having an organic way of unlocking stuff rather then just spending points is neat, but it becomes a shit system when the armor you happen to like is arbitrary held behind bullshit unlock requirements.
For as much hype Recon had back in the day, nothing about Recon armor itself looked any more special then CQB or Scout or EVA. If you happened to like the way Recon looked, get fricked I guess.
Or you have the same problem Infinite has now, where people are playing to meet arbitrary goals rather than playing the game as they would normally.
That too, which is why I think Reach's system is the least bad
You get points for completing matches + a bonus for your specific preformance in that match, and then there are more long term challenges/commendations that aren't time limited so they aren't pressured to focus on them over the match itself
Reach's system was still highly flawed because ti rewarded dragging out games more than anything, so you'd just have groups of people going into Objective and running out the clock for the most xp. And then there's the obvious problem of every unlock just being a timesink.
That's the issue with any unlock system, people will try to game it to get access to unlocks faster.
The only solution is not to have one but modern gamers are so addicted to them, not having one is seen as a turn off.
I've seen threads on the Ready or Not forums begging Void Interactive to add some kind of unlock system even though the game does not need one.
Why did call of duty 4 have to do this
Well Battlefield 2 did it before Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, so blame DICE.
In 2142 (which came out in 2006), the defibrillators for the Assault class were not standard equipment, you had to unlock them.
That's true, but the progression system in battlefield felt like nothing close to call of duty 4 especially with the prestige system.
Different anon here, I thought the gameplay was fun but the extremely tiny pool of maps and game modes in at launch made it become very repetitive very quickly, especially since pretty much all the maps are close-quarters deathboxes where the options boil down to 'which corridor would you like to run down this spawn'.
>So you are saying that the gameplay is not fun?
Yes, the gameplay sucks. But even if it was good, nobody would stick around because there's nothing to do.
I was a complete idiot for buying Halo infinite on Steam and not using the damn 1$ free trail xbox gold membership just to play it. Massive buyers remorse
I would feel bad for you but you deserve it. Hopefully you learned your lesson for next time.
They said they would add the e3 demo before it got released. Lies
When are they making MP console accurate and not 75% AFKs and cheaters though.
lol adding the cut Halo 2 levels basically gets you a completely different game
Why? Maybe that shit was cut for a reason. the gun in that pic looks atrocious
>thinking 343 can do this without fricking up in a crazy way
youre getting your hopes up
>They're even restoring the Halo 2 E3 mission
Um, what?!
Call me when they restore the drivable scarab mission that got cut from Reach.
halo2bros...... we won
I thought this was made in gmod or some shit and not an actual screenshot from the blog post.
why don't they add talented people to their team.
>Cut halo 1 content
I better see some marathon shit in there.
honestly very neat
>mrw the c team is better than the supposed a team.
>the supposed a team
This looks so fricking bad, why couldn't they make it look like the live action trailers?
Me in the office when senior staff or manager walks by.
Presumbly the post-launch MCC team is just allowed to do whatever so they can do all the cool shit they want without exec meddling, wheras the Infinite team has to deal with MS behind their backs forcing them to do stupid bullshit to encourage microtransactions
Yeah, pretty much all of the stuff added to MCC since Infinite released has been fanservice.
Why are Halo fans never happy?
I never get what I want.
It's not the MCC team (thank god for that).
idgaf 343 can suck my dick
>desperately digging up every single little pointless model and texture some guy made just to kill a few hours before going home on a friday night twenty (20) years ago
>either because your bosses will make you sell every scrap of data you can scavenge and hack together for peanuts, or because you actually consider these worthless objects to be lost relics despite being the literal digital equivalent of used, stained toilet paper
Those are pretty blatantly representative of the different demo versions of the game but okay.
shut up you gigantic gayet
I hope they make the GPU an actual flamethrower like in that trailer
Cool, but when's 4 player Campaign co-op for Halo 1 and 2?
when they get around to fixing the coop netcode for all of the games
aka never
Halo is dead 343 killed it.
Solid plan.
Everything 343 puts thier name on is a dumpster fire that people avoid like the plague (unless free or discounted)
Btw, how many people that own mcc have installed and opened halo4 by now? 10%?
I bought every game except for halo 4 separately while on sale.
so how do we spin this into being a bad thing?
The main 343 dev team is working on Infinite, and modders for hire are working on MCC
the majority of the work done on MCC was not by 343 but various contracted companies (like Splash Damage, Certain Affinity, or Saber Interactive), with 343's name being stamped on the box
Who works on MCC now?
Basically 10 or so people from 343i who've stuck around for MCC since it got released on PC, they're pretty much the only credible people in the studio.
For the cut content, they've brought on some modders to do work as well.
I thought Splash Damage was working on the CGB for the remaining games that don't have them
The CGB has supported every game since the Floodfight update.
>adding removed content
OH SHIT
He's already in the files iirc, just without any death animation or attacks.
yeah but if they make the animations for it , then its gonna be great to see them wreck havoc on High Charity
Someone's already done it.
Infinitesisters.... MccGODS won... again..
Infinite is already 6 feet in the grave at this point. such a disappointment of a game that was ruined by the devs. still no forge mode by the way
Its so funny looking back looking at all the glowing reviews it got. Journalists were practically trying to give Halo a second life with all the praise and 343 in all their incompetency ruined that too.
Has any other game series been carried this hard by just the name? 343 fricks up every single game but people still come back and are surprised when they frick up again.
>Having to add cut content from 20 year old games because nobody is playing your piece of shit clones
bravo 343
the team working on this is a group of modders dumb frogposter
so what exactly does 343 do
All collectively working on writing the next blog update on how they need to delay more things for infinite, with a foot note with the latest list of congratulations to the people in the company who recently transisioned
how about you stop fricking with these classic games?
i hate 343 so damn much.
>b***h that devs never add content to games like in "the good old days"
>dev adds content to old game
>b***h that its an old game and you don't want it anyway and blame everything on trannies
You are all fricking sad and pathetic, and you know it. God forbid you step outside the whining, cynical prison you coddle in your mind like an abusive uncle. Go the frick outside because THIS is your life and nothing is going to change for you until you do.
Anon, they are just stealing unfinshed assets from Bungie and putting it in Halo 1 while infinite still doesnt even have a forge mode.
So? If it was some unknown modder doing it they would be getting heaped with praise about bringing more SOVL to a loved game. But because it's an official dev and you elusively behave like sniveling shits, you whine. This is your default behavior and you wonder why you're such a bitter, directionless frick in life.
Yeah?
Expectations for a multi-million dollar development studio are a little higher than a sole modder doing it for fun.
The unknown modder didn't release a sequel to a triple A game series with less content and more problems than the previous games.
EXACTLY
AS
IT
SHIPPED
10
YEARS
AGO
It's for the modding tools, not the live game you tard.
If anything I find it based that console users are going to get frick all while modChads will get Steam Workshop support AND previously considered lost assets reintroduced and finalised for modders to use.
I'm pretty sure like 3 people ITT have actually read the article so why did you bother responding to a moron?
>MCC is getting more constant updates and content then the fricking mainline game
I don't even care if it's essentially just dumpster finds from Bungie, this is making Infinite look even more dead.
Didnt they pull the Police calling card thing from ODST during the height of the BLM riots?
lol
>Team working on the flagship Halo project (Infinite) is incompetent; game came out half-baked with an incredibly same-y campaign and only a handful of multiplayer maps (which are designed for competitive play only)
>Team working on the MCC, a project 343 largely doesn't care about, keep adding awesome stuff like this that literally nobody thought could ever happen and nobody would have even dared to ask for
What's going on over there?
The morons running 343 were too busy fricking up Halo Infinite that the MCC team were left alone to actually get shit done.
is there crossplay between xbox and PC on MCC?
Yes except for campaign
3 and ODST have crossplay for campaign now.
For matchmaking/customs, yeah. For campaign, just Halo 3 and ODST, to my knowledge. They said the other campaigns would be crossplay eventually.
Stand were the worst thing that happened to the series
>Halo 2 E3 2003 level
Hold me bros..
correction: the MCC development team is conning modders into restoring cut content...
>for free
This is just to lessen the backlash of them adding mtx to mcc
