No Campaign Cross-play Is Unacceptable.

[BLOOD ASYLUM]

The thing Halo is most popular for can't be shared by friends across platforms. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

It’s also impossible to implement without taking literal years to redo all of bungie’s code!

I love Halo but the MCC is the biggest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in modern gaming. If this were any other franchise people wouldn't put up with it. It only gets a pass because its Halo. Which is exactly why it *shouldnt* get a pass. This is microsofts flagship franchise. There is no excuse.

Except it's not? Hell, Bethesda just announced an Anniversary edition for Skryim.

Anniversary? We already have special edition so what's the difference?

From what I can can gather, it's basically just an official mod update version. I haven't seen anything about engine improvements or bug fixes, just that it gives access to stuff like fishing and easy access to their Creation Club stuff.

Console users get a free upgrade and pc players pay for it.

So devastated to discover that Campaign can't do crossplay co-op. I can't imagine any other update to the collection that I would care about even 10% as much. I've read people's posts explaining how difficult it would be, and like ok, I believe you, but to me Halo is co-op.

I mean... you can still play co op. Just not cross platform. Which makes sense since the majority of people who want to play Halo campaign together are also on the same platform. There are some exceptions, of course, but I'm happy the were able to get online co-op working at all. It would be great if there was cross-play, but by no means is it a dealbreaker to not have it.

There's a reason why, after 15+ years of being on PC, no modder or modding group was ever able to create a working co-op mod for either CE or Halo 2 Vista, neither of which had online co-op implemented until they were added to MCC. Bungie's netcode is notoriously difficult to work with, and as someone who writes software I'm impressed that they were able to retroactively create online co-op in a game where there was none.

Would cross-play co-op be great? Yes. Will they likely add it in the future? Probably. Is it a super high priority for them, considering all the other technical feats that were required to get online co-op working at all (and, again, considering the fact that most people who want to play co op with their friends tend to play on the same platform)? Probably not.

There was a waypoint post about this, it has something to due with networking issues from what I remember.

MCC is a mishmash of like 7 different engines being on both PC and Console, there is for sure some technical issues and limitations that can't be fixed or would take a lot of work to fix.

Exactly. But people will make threads like these and drone on and on about how “it’s an easy update” and how “343 is the spawn of Satan” or something similar

I think what people (including me) are upset about is how hand-wavy they are about all this, at the start there should have been things they are and they arent going to do, no room for interpretation, plus good in-depth explainations of the reasons they cant implement core aspects of the original games on a newer platform.

quite frankly the fact that MCC on PC A: cannot play with XBox on Campaign and B: doesn't support local splitscreen while Xbox does is disgraceful. They've had almost a decade of worktime sorting this collection out, and 3 of them spent exclusively sorting out their PC port. That isn't counting that they have had - 3 - studios work on this effort, 5 if you count Gearbox & Bungies work on the original two PC ports, of which the MCCs versions are based off on both platforms

Now 343s saying they cant ship core features of a new game on any platform on release, even after creating a new engine and delaying the release by a year. Yeah no, I'm not buying the bs they're saying regarding MCC.

It's kind of moot whether it's a dealbreaker or not since I already bought the game. And again, I believe the people who say it's a colossal amount of work. Just voicing my admittedly unpopular opinion that it's what I would care about more than anything else for this game.
