Subtitles are not working

[SuperFluffyBunny]

I have subtitles activated, but they are not working in game. I even have speech to text enabled but nothing.

any one got any clues?

Subtitles only work in cutscenes. :/

Not so much that they aren't used so much as they weren't there to begin with. Reach came out in September of 2010, which was back when subtitles for gameplay and cutscenes weren't an industry standard, and the console release of MCC didn't address it either.

Does that necessarily give 343 a free pass to not have updated the game and put them in? In my opinion, no, but I don't know how difficult the process of porting Reach over to PC nearly a decade later was, so I don't want to pretend It was simple. As far as I'm aware, the only games we're going to see in game subtitles for are Combat Evolved Remastered and Halo 4.

Of all the things to not remaster. Half Life 2 had general subtitles and that game came out in 2004. It's a ridiculous oversight for a game that thought so highly of itself as to put accessibility options on their own tab.

I guess screw me for having bad sound and wanting to see WTF is going on, I suppose

It's a real ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'm playing on Game Pass PC and was happy Halo CE had subs cause sometimes there so much noise you can't make out what they're saying.

Just started Halo 2 and thought it was a bug.

[doomcup]

They still haven't fixed it. I just started the game, and I'm tempted to ask for a refund since I have issues processing speech sometimes and need subtitles to understand what's going on

[Suomipoika11]

Which game ? I found that on Reach Subtitles are cutscenes only, while on Halo 1 subtitles work proper.

Then again , Reach Port is utterly farcical , sound issues aside, haven't touched Halo 2 yet.

Halo Reach, Halo 2, Halo 3 and ODST don't have subtitles in-game.
Halo CE didn't have them either, but the Anniversary re-release in 2011 added that.
Halo 4 has subtitles for both cutscenes and gameplay.
In-game subtitles is a quality-of-life improvement that is still within the realm of possiblity. We just have to ask enough.

There is no fix, as it isn't a bug, there just isn't subtitles outside of cutscenes.

Hmm..that'd explain few things ...
Reach - Ported really like p starting profanity - poor audio, gun model that takes 1/4 of scrreen no matter of the FoV, bland graphs, cluster F HuD that block your view when you want to see your enemies, super delayed vehicle controls etc...

Halo CE - Direct port of original Halo port with graphs upgrage. ( Wouldn't be so bad, as original ports main fault of bad optimisaition is compensated by modern hardware. But for the record, flood with RPG can got to h....)

Halo 2 : Don't even want to think about it , unless gamma resets after death of Regret, like it did in first port....

Halo 3: Most wanted game, fingers crossed.

Hey I'm deaf but shocking no subtitles in Reach I don't understand what they are saying...
I do wear headphone yes hear any sound but doesnt understand...shocking bad for deaf community

I feel dumb no idea

Microsoft is a racist

[Wezilla]

Please help ? Sadly it have to be refund it such shame HALO is such awesome

[SuperFluffyBunny]

Subtitles would be useful.

[МАХИНАТОР]

I really hope they'll add subtiteles. Because for me as not a native speaker it's really tough to understand what are they speaking about, especially with broken sound in Halo Reach.
