Oh my god I can’t believe I didn’t even try because it was labeled as unsupported, thanks so much. They really should be more differentiated when it comes to these labels. I’ve encountered other games as well that are also listed as unsupported that work perfectly fine
Often, unsupported means either a) there isn't even any community support for the game or b) the game uses anti-cheat for online play. If you click on the game it will give you a more detailed list as to why its labeled 'unsupported'.
@@mitwhitgaming7722 But it’s not just that. Take Arkham City for example, that was actually labeled as fully supported and I played it, but then it was later changed to unsupported with the text that valve is still trying to support this game for the steam deck. That made me realize that maybe arkham asylum and arkham knight who are also listed as unsupported might actually work anyway, and it’s true, they worked perfectly. There is no detailed description, just that valve is "working on it"
Thanks for confirming the audio issue I knew something was wrong! I noticed my deck runs cooler with the older fan profile selected in settings. I've been having a blast with MCC on deck. First thing that came to my mind when the deck was announced last year!
Halo fans unite! I immensely appreciate your video my friend. Halo is my all-time fav game. I was debating about getting the Deck but seeing as how even Infinite runs on it (decently 30-40 fps on low/med) well shit, I am sold 😁
In order to get better battery life in these games play around with your Steam Deck's wattage under the TDP setting under the performance section of the quick access menu. If you are trying to hit 60fps consistently and drop the wattage too low you might encounter frame-time inconsistency. One example here is for Reach I locked the game to 40fps and was able to get a consistent frame-time locking the Steam Deck's TDP to 7 Watts. This greatly improved both the battery life and thermals.
This is what I have done as well to reduce power consumption and reduce thermals. Currently I've been using 10 watts for 60fps but 7 watts at 40fps sounds fair. I'll give that a shot.
My only major gripe with MCC apart from the anti cheat is the mandatory Xbox login. As someone who doesn't have much interest in Halo apart from campaign and solo Firefight mode (I play with friends on occasion), the requirement is little more than an annoying DRM. Lovely video + demonstration as always.
It's a very comprehensive overview of Halo on Steam Deck, well done. I'm very pleased whith how well Halo MCC works on Steam Deck. I'd go as far as saying that Halo is one of the best titles to test and showcase Steam Deck to people. It just works so well.

Halo Master Chief Collection Works now, well kind of but expect problems on the Steam Deck crashes and other things but this time Campaign and hell even Online Multiplayer is working on it, Firefight too and challenges that you do count towards your season points and well as that important XP, I think you may need to update your video on Halo Master Chief Collection dude.
This game is unplayable on steamdeck for me. Constant frame rate issues and you can’t play online. Always get the anti cheat software error thing. Very disappointing.
The thing that annoy me the most about the halo remasters on my pc is that they run like absolute garbage. Even though my pc is way above the minimum spec requirments and yes if you ask me to share specs I will do it.
Can u customize your spartan and stuff? Cuz if you don't have anti cheat on it wouldn't let u play multi-player, right? So no online progression, no armory stuff 😢
if the other players are also playing with Anti-Cheat off you can do co-op campaign, firefight, and custom games no problem. it's only matchmaking that's unavailable
Getting bad stutters with this game. Not sure if it’s the steam deck or the game. It’s runs at a good frame rate but randomly stutters occasionally making it not worth playing for me.
I have this problem, at first it wouldn't boot, but would boot when I turn my Wi-Fi off, but needed Wi-Fi to sign in to my Microsoft account for it to let me play so I turned My Wi-Fi back on my deck while it was booting showing the developers, because when I turned the Wi-Fi back on while fully booted asking to sign into my Microsoft account it kick me off the game, so turned off the Wi-Fi booted the game while showing developers turn the Wi-Fi back on then it works, but the game won't boot with the Wi-Fi on but will while off?
I have both of those issues. The game won't start even after six tries with multiple diffrent Proton versions. Earlier I was able to get it to launch, but the since deck update 3.3 dropped MCC doesn't only lower the volume of the game for me, but also mutes any steam interface sounds too. I tried several Proton versions and as well as reinstalling the game, but haven't found a solution. Is the volume OK for you when using bluetooth speakers?
I think I have that same issue with the steam interface sounds being muted while in game for the MCC. I haven't tried out Bluetooth speakers with it, but the volume is fine on my headphones I plug in.
Try to delete the easyanticheat directory. You can do that in Desktop mode. Regarding the audio, try changing the audio device in game to the 'raven' labeled one.
@@freakencreeper1685 I've had this happen in other games. You can try to click on the cog next to the game and select developer then Delete Proton files. If that doesn't work, reinstalling might work. Also launching the game in desktop mode might help. I've had some games not launch in game mode because of launcher prompts.

ah dang i wish you would show us the Halo 2 MP Anniversary Graphics, how the steam deck runs this. you know, H2A MP is not the same as H2A Campaign Graphics.

@@SteelLodge i found out what it was I just had to delete the folder that had the easy anticheat in it but I do have a follow up question, when signing in how can you bring up the keyboard to type?
Honestly, since Halo MCC uses EAC, it should be fairly straight forward for them to build the game with it enabled for Linux. Epic games, who make EAC, build up the system so it would be easier for developers to implement for Linux use, they just have to check some boxes to generate the files, then manually move them to a specific directory, I believe. So it really shouldn't be too difficult for the devs to do it, they just have to have that as a higher priority on their TODO list. Some devs just don't know about it, some are just lazy, and others just don't care.
Not me lmao once I've started playing Halo 2 back in like 2008 on the PC it made the graphics on Halo CE look pretty outdated, let alone these days in 2023 lmao

It timed out nicely to watch while I waited for the campaigns to install on my Deck.
I fixed the audio by going to the audio settings in game and changing the output to the 'raven' audio device.
I knew it! They shouldn't labale a game as unplayable if the game works just fine minus the multiplayer.
The alternative is having the game labeled "Playable" then people whine about multiplayer.
Until easy-anticheat is fixed it'll probably be stuck
