Update: I cracked the code thanks to Steam controller configs (Shift+Tab). Just had to set all games to Universal Default (Recon), then use Steam settings to remap X->Rbumper, Rbumper->X, Lbumper->DLeft, and Y (long press)->Lbumper. Now grenade-swapping/reloading/dual-wielding works the same across titles, and the "special" button is consistently Rbumper. Only issue is I can't get left-handed reloading to work when dual-wielding in Halo 3 (you have to empty the clip and get an automatic reload), but that's rare enough to not be an issue.

Halo |OT2| Master Chief for Smash
- Thread starter FUNKNOWN iXi
- Start date
Since there's no Halo Infinite this year, we've been hard at work to provide everyone with a new Halo fix.
Played the first mission of the Reach campaign today for the first time in 10 years. Boy the voice acting is awful. We've come a long way in that regard, that's for sure!
Aren't most of the generic NPCs in the Bungie Halos voiced by staff? It's got its charm. All of the main cast members have good acting.

Random thought -- Imagine releasing a new Halo on the 20 year anniversary of the first Halo and not having the classic Magnum to flex with.
Bananas. Now imagine Mk. V being a microtransaction on that 20 year anniversary. If that happens, so hold me baby jesus..

The new pistol is a travesty.
I can't believe all the attention Craig got when that thing was on full display
After they add the Halo Online maps, I hope their next project would be adding more H2A maps. Seriously, give H2A some love and also fix the crushed blacks in it. Even if you turn up your gamma and brightness, it's still so fucking dark. Your BR is darker than a black hole.
I have a group of friends I've been playing halo with for over 15 years. I wrote a joke poem for the holidays, and I figured I would share it with all you here. I hope you enjoy 💚

Yeah H2A feels so damn good but after playing the same three maps over and over it gets a little old
As much as I love the Halo 1 pistol... I'm fine to let it go. We don't a Magnum and a Battle Rifle and a DMR and a Carbine and a LightRifle. Trying to do a take on the Halo 2 pistol that's actually accurate, but not a power-house is something I'm here to see.

Alternatively, we didn't need a BR, DMR, Carbine, Light Rifle, etc. after we had 3 amazing years (2001-2004) that started this phenomenon in the first place. Tho I'm personally still glad we got them.
How's that for perspective? 🤓 No one was complaining about the weapons in CE because everyone was too busy having fun. I'm not saying they were perfect, but Bungie didn't need to change so many things with Halo 2, so much that people still don't consider today. They were even going to go further with the changes, but Max Hoberman, development hell, and a slew of other reasons didn't let that happen.
So with that being said, Halo 5's Pistol was finally a step in the right direction after so many years of a subpar Pistol or starting set. It's going to be a shame if we go back to BR starts after the heavy praise H5 received for its multiplayer, partly due to its starting weapons and balance around that.
Hello, don't post their usually but I was remembering stuff and I wondered.
Back in Halo 3/early Halo Reach with Grifball, when playing the mode online their were times where you'd had members of the same team on each side (Grifball League team, you can tell because they'd all have the same avatars), usually 6 or 7 players and the remaining players not part of their team would get spawned killed while they did their own thing.
It was infuriating when it happened and it was way more common in Halo 3, partly because Rooster Teeth refused to punish or manage their league teams and nothing stopping them. I know it improved during the Reach but it would still happened from time to time.
Was wondering, how is Grifball nowadays, do Grifball league teams still abuse the online mode? Has the mode changed since those days?

I don't care about how the weapon functions.
I'm saying the new pistol is fucking ugly.
I'm summoning you to play h4 squad battle with us.
Right now. Final offer.
Thank you for the help. Our teammates were giving us the biggest headaches lol
It was fun. It's a fun playlist if you have a group, but solo you are better off just going to a casino and putting it all on black.
I can't wait for Team SWAT to not be its own playlist on day one, and we'll have to beg and plead 343 for them to put it in, and it'll be for a weekend or some shit.
Is SWAT still a big thing? I haven't gone hard on it since like H3?
I got two perfections in Team SWAT in Halo Reach back in the day. Fun mode.
It's still pretty sweaty, so I assume in some circles it is.
I know that when I have it selected in Social Matchmaking, it dominates the rotation.
It's pretty much all I play when I play MCC, and queues are pretty close to instant most of the time.
I've been timing mine right so that when the new season drops I just finished the previous.

All of the stuff added in the December update will be unlocks (the stuff that's viewable in the menu anyway) so Halo Online armor, more H3 weapon skins, Reach armor.
Is Halo MCC struggling for anyone else? I can't get passed the title screen. Just have the spinning ball forever.
(Xbox Series X)
EDIT: Game is just stuck on the title screen with the ball spinning. This happened after the game crashed while it was editing a Halo 4 loadout. Anyone know a fix for this? I just want to play Halo haha.
DOUBLE EDIT: hard reset on the console fixed it.

Just bought three more Halo novels. Slowly but surely, I will have them all. Hopefully by the end of 2021. More likely by the halfway point of 2021.
I expect a graphic summary on how the suit jacks off Master Chief here once you've finished.
The Kilo Five trilogy dove surprisingly deep on the urinary functions of Spartan IIs.
Has anyone had an issue where Halo MCC on PC causes the PC to reboot? I recently upgraded some components on my PC and this happens every time I try to play the game. Sometimes it occurs right after the splash screen, but most the times it's right when I try to enter a multiplayer game or campaign game.
EDIT: posted this here because this is the only game this happens with, after testing multiple.

Assuming here the reset is actually a BSOD you aren't noticing, this would be indicative of a hardware or driver fault, and not actually related to MCC. User level programs don't have this power, and it is entirely possible for only one game to expose this issue and not another due to the nature of them running different functionality.
Go into it assuming you are looking for something system related, run memtest and other diagnostic tools. Bench test the GPU, monitor its temperature, stuff like that.

Some of these achievement percentages in MCC are shockingly low. Only 6% have beaten Reach on at least normal.
Is that on Xbox? Because on PC it's 26% (or 30% that beat the actual last level, not sure what happened there.) Makes sense compared to the entire population, though, the game has been out for 6 years, and Reach came so much later.
