For the legacy team, that's what they did. Their most recent hire was the MotherVR guy who was also working on the MCC VR mod
I got up on my soapbox pre-release and said that modding tools and not Forge should be Halo's future.
The industry is behind tapping into the success of Skyrim's modding community which kept that game relevant for over a decade.
Any update on what's happening with MCC vr? Is it just dead?
He's working at 343i, so best guess is maybe it'll be an official thing lol
He was up to H3 in terms of game support iirc
I caught up on the show and I honestly don't hate it. I suppose not being a super fan that has read all the books and whatnot helps since I'm sure the show totally shits on all of it but taken as some side universe thing I think they've done a good job so far.
He knew about the news way ahead of anyone here. 😌
And he didn't tell anyone. What a keeper.
If you are not a fan of Sidewinder and Avalanche, it can never be a good afternoon. Never.
One of my top favorites from H1 (and also the H3 form). I was addicted to fucking around on Sidewinder one whole summer.
Wait, is there news? Sounds like I need to do some googling...
Edit: Ooohhhh that looks a whole lot like Avalanche. 😁 Snowy U shaped map, an open path to the middle inside the frigate, the side ledges with the man cannons, it looks like a good match to me.

You ain't lived unless you traversed on top of Sidewinder or bopped yourself through the power up gate.
Legendary map.
Legendary map.
Heading up there with plenty of sniper ammo was such an asshole move.
I am an asshole 😉
Good times on those long running servers where people just popped in and out to fuck around all day
Eagerly anticipating Sidewinder's grandson in Infinite. From what I can tell so far, I like the ways they've mixed it up from avalanche.
Is the source reliable? I see a lot of reposts, not certain where it originated.
Once upon a time I missed Sidewinder so much that I put a lot of work into a remake for Halo 5 in Forge. Had some fun games. It was before forge got all those nice new updates though.

It can be spawned, only the Elite animations work with it.
How can it be spawned?
Just saw this on youtube, I can't figure out how this person did it.
Flood FF is interesting, but after two rounds I'm over it. It's pretty easy (especially if you get a ghost). The only time it gets remotely hard is the bonus round with the Sentinels because they hit like a truck. However, it is cool to see them adding new content to MCC. I'm still hoping we get some more Halo Online and H2A maps.
Getting back into MCC is hard. It's just premades of people that haven't stopped playing this game.
Damn dog it'd be cool dog if you could show us how to spawn the mongoose dog
Been asking for H2A Midship for years.
EDIT: Found another YouTuber that covered the mongoose. They also don't mention how to spawn it. But you CAN drive it with the elite.

It's a much better game managed by a skeleton crew that kicks major ass at 343. Need to give those people raises.
Damn, noticed Spartan Ops was moved to Firefight and thought that might mean it had matchmaking now. Nope. Probably won't happen at this point as I'm sure the demand is nonexistent, but it would be nice if that and campaign matchmaking came back. I think that's the only missing feature at this point?
I refuse to touch Spartan Ops solo. Miserable experience. Should of launched with matchmaking but 🤷♂️

Yup. Used to love the random after hours itch to jump into campaign matchmaking and bang out a couple of random missions.
It's the little things that when added up make a memorable experience. Campaign matchmaking is one of 'em, and Spartan Ops matchmaking would get me to actually play those.
I was playing Halo CE campaign earlier today (MCC, Xbox Series X) and I noticed some weird sound issue.
When I fire my weapon while walking forward, the firing sound is coming from "behind" me, out of my rear surround sound speakers. (I have a 5.1 setup)
But when I walk backwards while shooting, the firing noise correctly comes out out of my front speakers.
It's like the sound is "following" me, or "trailing" behind my movement. Anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: so it's only on classic graphics and only halo CE, so maybe it's just a quirk of CE I didn't notice before?

Anyone know the legalities if 343 were to gather a few good custom made maps made through the mod tools and release them officially?
Would they treat it the same as a community made forge map or would they have to pay the modder?
It would be cool to get a H2A pack of maps.

I have a theory, but I'm curious if you are running at 60hz or 120hz? My guess is the sound objects updates aren't properly linked to the interpolated camera position, or maybe some legacy sound code that only updated at 30hz, depending on your answer.
I think Postums said they might look into something, no promises.
I know I said this before, but will they PLEASE fix the contrast and blackness of H2A. Trying to play SWAT and I can't even see the blue team half the time because they just blend into the background.
To continue with my point, it is amazing how good H3 still looks. Going from dark ass H2A where you can't see shit to H3 which is vibrant and colorful.
It's 2022 and H3 still looks damn good.

And Halo 3 will still look good 50 years from now, I will stand by this.
Yeah, I'm over MCC again. Every game is just against premades of Tour 9s and 10s that just end up Steaktaculars. I don't mind losing, but this is literally no fun just being constantly dumped on every game.
It feels like they applied the same skill matching as in Infinite. Like, I always get up against competent opponents with beginner teammates, it's almost as sweaty as Infinite.
So glad they added a "Quick Match" option for the Custom Browser, it's basically matchmaking with very chill games now, love it.
I haven't played MCC in a few weeks but I'm pretty sure that was always the case. I would search with my friend and the enemy team would typically get two good players and two lesser skilled teammates. I would usually get worse teammates than the enemy.
Hope they didn't somehow make it worse.

Why can't we get the same audio options on console as PC players have tho :[
Reach and H2A are SO LOUD!
