Is there really not a modded custom games browser?
Why has EAC been to social games experiences? I get it if you're talking simplest path, its obviously a nice to have for matchmaking, but the modding scene in this game is incredible and custom games have hosts/kicking ability for trouble makers. Why has the ability to play these fantastic mods been relegated to awkward peer to peer and 3rd party platforms? Why would you ever require EAC for a custom games browser? Its a big oversight for the sake of taking the simplest path

I got no friends bro, and I definitely dont have friends that still play halo

Allow mods to be played in custom games lobby, its going to do wonders for longevity and community; as a potential convert who would play this game more and for longer time frames with the easy access to modded lobbies

Mods require EAC to be disabled. EAC being disabled mean cheats are allowed. Kind of obvious why this isn't a thing with how it's set up.

you gave a sassy reply in another thread, basically saying "work hard to make freinds for modded games" (lol), and it seems the point of this post went over your head
Re read the post. You can boot cheaters. Simple as. (this is very obvious btw, unlike yours, which was just "kind of")

Others in the community; we should make more posts about this so devs (or other modders) are aware of the potential for any method that provides easy access to modded custom lobbies. This would significantly help the longevity and health of the community

Based on how the CGB has been neglected with missing key features, they're not going to bother doing more work to make EAC and Modding compatible. But I can only assume you don't play much on the CGB, because "just kick them" doesn't work when you're not host and the host is being being AFK, not caring, or being the one cheating.

You can "raise awareness" all you'd like about the benefits, but 343i has proven to us they don't really give a damn about the state of the game or it's longevity. All they care about are their bastardizations of Halo, and their failing Infinite. There's a reason we're missing key parts of this game, like Split Screen and a working Co-op.
funny i asked this question while ago for a freind but they said nah but if you really ant this added in mmc or even dreamed to just email 343 theyll do the ting ill bet they added it in a future update so what do say for modded maps&games for custom games browser?

Not necessarily; I recently hosted a CGB game that was invaded by a blatant cheater whose username did not appear in the scoreboard.

When I attempted to boot them using the pause menu, the boot was redirected to another player; I am 100% sure that I had the cheater's username selected.

Yeah, pretty sad. Yet they have time to add dumbass progressive player banners and cosmetics but ignore the fact that this is a half-shipped product for an easy cash grab to Halo fans that were on Steam. Everyone that works at 343 is a shameful slimeball.

Halo fans continue to cry over nameplates part 8638363
i want to say yes to this only because of the potential modders can make on the own custom maps and gamemodes but 343 arent gonna let that happen

This might not be the exact answer you're looking for but there is already modded maps and gametypes on the custom game browser but they're achieved through scripting. I often see modded invasion and infection hosted on the CGB for Halo Reach. If you want to see examples of it there is a YouTube channels called" IVOLUKE" and "Green IV" who showcases modded maps and gametypes for Reach. They're custom game browser compatible too.

Also there is a guy who makes amazing invasion mods (playable grunts, flyable spirits etc) and he's currently working on a Flood mod for halo reach. If you want to see it look up "Rabid MagicMan" on YouTube and his channel along with the Flood video should come up.
i chekced that the last guy has made modded custom gamemodes and maps but it looks like you need to donate order to get acsess to his custom gamemodes and maps mods
