Agree 100%. It absolutely sucks that we now have the magic of crossplay, yet my console brethren are not able to enjoy these amazing mods. Sure, they could "make the switch". They will not, unfortunately.

I really hope you do regular mod recaps to bring attention to new projects that are going on. Coverage like that could breathe a lot of life into this community.
The ODST mod map really hits me. I wanted an ODST MP so bad back in the day and even though we're not playing as ODST'S, It at least has the whole Mombassa streets from ODST itself which is amazing and the lighting looked insanely good
I find the similarities between CoD Zombies and Halo fascinating. The dizzying heights and the disappointing lows, the fervent fan bases, the rich lore and now (hopefully) the modding scene. I hope 343 embraces community run projects 😄
Thank you for the wonderful comments on my mod, Mods will be what keeps MCC alive and I’m glad to be apart of it! If you wanna join more modded game-nights shoot me a Dm sometime! :)
Two words, fully deserved. You're doing an incredible thing with your mod and that's just by what we see in this video. Taking things from a completely unrelated game and putting them in Halo 3 is nothing short of god tier work.
Regarding Mombasa Slayer and why Bungie didn’t ever make that; using the entire Mombasa Streets map as a multiplayer map would almost certainly be unstable/too big. It *sounds* like a good idea, but it wouldn’t have been good.
honestly, the only way to have it work right would be to take advantage of culling and rendering by a LOT. Also, they would need to use invisible walls so that fewer polygons exist and lower quality textures can be used more frequently. It really was possible to have it be a MP map, it just would take too much work to accomplish for Bungie back in the day.
I would really like to see some maps of cities from Earth. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a BTB in the streets of Washington DC? Flying around New York City in a Banshee or Pelican? Have a Tokyo map where the super pyramid has been built? Or even London where we could have a firefight mode fighting against the Covenant! Someone make it happen pls!
Yo, shout out to Kashiiera For doing alone what 343 and an entire company could never do. Making Halo Games that are updated yet still loyal to the originals. Even the remakes (Looking at you Halo CE Anniversay and Halo 2 Anniversary). I'd play her Halo CE over the official Halo CE Anniversary any day
they really should go the down the same road as bethesda (just with hopefully better success) and give us console mods alongside something akin to the creation club where both 343 and the modders apart of their program can earn some cash on the mods that are hard coded into MCC. (i know the CC had it's controversy however the stuff on CC for both skyrim and F4 is actually good now) therefore you get an equal amount of both free and paid mods for console.
I love modders. I've dabbled in modding Battlefront 2 (2017), making a hero replacer that replaces Rey with the Arbiter. I love seeing what more talented people have done in actual Halo games, because it just makes the games last so much longer (Hence why Skyrim has been re-released for the past ten years) What if Master Chief Collection ends up becoming Halo's Skyrim in terms of a modding community.

How they plan on doing it, idk, I don't play on console, but the fact that they plan on it, means that those who are console players can play mods like Cursed Halo? Halo community has been.. Rather messy, but when things go right for us, damn does it feel good.

God, please don't let these people ruin Halo. Modders are a fucking cancer, they need to be eradicated, not encouraged. Once modders get a hold of a franchise, its death is quick, gruesome, and unavoidable.
How are these modders not just instantly hired by 343!? I feel that just one of these talented human beings could single handily pump out content for Halo Infinite, given the tools. The time, the commitment, and the passion these people put into their mods is truly astonishing, as well as give hope to the future of Halo's community. Much love and respect to these elevated beings.
@@jh302 are you trying to be dumb or.. im not asking them to use the same engine or whatever, but fallout 4 for example has a great system which can be used to upload mods by creators from pc and integrate them into the console version. A similar system can no doubt be attainable if 343 tried hard enough
The problem with console is the inherit limitations of the console its self (both in hardware and how it actually runs/operates). It's just time consuming to work around, its not hard per say, more tedious. It's far easier and less tedious, and time consuming to get mods to work on PC, and even then it can take quite a long time. Plus there's absolutely no guarantee that even if you can get the mods to work that they'll run well on console, especially those with large maps, lots of large texture files, things of that nature.
I’m not the best a modding. So, I really hope some good modders create some of books battles into game play. Something like First Strike battle in the Covenant Space station or or some of the battles in Ghost of Onyx
These are cool but it's a shame that like 90% of MCC mods are in Halo 3. I really wanna see more stuff for Halo 2 in particular, ODST and Reach (tho reach has the most after 3) too. Also, I think the CE in H3 mod is maybe a bit TOO faithful? Obviously CEA went too far, but like the MP maps at least seem to use the same exact geometry for weapons and maybe the maps themselves, i'd like to see actual new models, and such, at least personally just having CE maps/assets with 3's lighting isn't that compelling, especially if the physics and aiming is like 3's, which frankly I think is less responsive then CE and 2 before it or Reach/4/Infinite after it (which is part of why I want more non H3 mods, haha)
Mod #12, the entire New Mombasa map with the ability to drop IN drop pods?!??? This brings back the feeling of my first time playing Titan Fall, and seeing the grandiose and awe inspiring feeling of seeing your team drop in from the sky
I mean do we know tho how much time has been put in the work for those mods? Is not that plain and simple, and there are others variables at that, given how 343 changes staff so frequently people have to learn the tools and stuff of the game, while a modders team doesn't once they did learn
@@eliavita I feel bad for the 343 development team but it kinda is that plain and simple tho. If you have the backing of a multi-billion dollar tech giant, your community shouldn't be out performing you. 343 being unable to retain a core development team is their problem & the community shouldn't suffer a lackluster experience because the higher ups can't run their business properly.
The locust is literally the only vehicle I want to see in a main Halo game. Like they had so many vehicles they could have given us in Infinite and out of everything we got the razorback.
Absolutely. I want there to be more fan made missions for Halo CE. There was one made called, "Escape" which is just stellar. You play as a marine reaching the evac during two betrayals. it's so well done is essentially functions as DLC. Rubys rebalance has also turned Halo CE into a masterpiece, perfecting each level by adding cut content and revamping combat encounters. Honestly brought me such immense joy, this game has a second life. This is not mentioning the work done for other installments.
I think the big one that will do it for me will be Steam Workshop support. It’ll make it easier for me to get friends to play mods with me, as it’s hard to be like “Hey, do you guys want to manually replace map files so we can play this BTB mod?” With the addition of Steam Workshop, I can just have friends join and it will download the maps and modes for them like Gmod or Black Ops III Zombies.
You know I would agree with you on this statement but there's still one problem halo doesn't have mod support for Xbox and half of the Halo Community is on Xbox but if they found a way to add mod support on xbox then halo can be the best online game Franchise
If Bethesda found a way to make mods work on the the PlayStation and Xbox then there's a chance the mcc team can make Halo mods work. Maybe even get help from the guys who did the mods from Bethesda to help them out
@@mariobadia4553 there is no excuse for 343 when bethesda of all people were able to figure it out. bethesda are notorious for being incompetent as hell as a company. 343 while not being anywhere near perfect themselves are far more capable than bethesda are.
@@michaelkean5969 bethesda re not incompetent your a madman if you think they are theyre one of the few studios who actually minimize crunch conditions to near non existance. ontop of that literally everything they do is extremely hard. and they do it all with a very small team compared to most of the industry. people just hyper fixate on them and then people parrot those people like mindless drones. the fact of the matter is halos engine is literally not set up in a way that could make console modding feasible all assets are stored PER MAP meaning map files are large and any mods would be pretty large
I helped fund RejectedShotgun's big mac budget for his mod. I hear it even has landing gear. 🤔 Swing by his stream on YT one of these days and say hi to chat. It's a super chill place.
The great thing about modding communities especially in the FPS scene is they never seem to die, when it comes to big games. There are still mods coming out to this day for Quake, the original one; from 1996! And the recent re-release version also has a vibrant modding community as well
343 : *Barely manages to deliver any tangible content to keep halo relevant* Halo community : Fine, I'll do it myself. For real, this is great, I just hope console players won't get left out of the modding scene.
Halo: Combat Evolved: Custom Edition was the Golden Age of Halo in my opinion. Seeing something similar make its arrival would be a god send for the series.
I wish game companies learned from bethesdas engine and let people use it for mods. Open the engine up for people and let them play with it. Skyrim is still alive till this day with an active community because of its mod community. The whole games been rebuilt. New combat engines, lighting, expansions and campaigns, characters, weapons, armor, everything. Everything has been done and the replayability is insane. 10 years later and it’s still a thriving community. Let the communities take care of their game. If u can’t listen as a developer, at least make it easy for ur community to fix it for you with mods. So much untapped potential
Mod #4, is the mod makers name a reference to the WKUK? "I'm The Grim Dealer, and if you don't buy a used car from me you're better off dead!" from the "Take My Face Off" sketch. Maybe?
Dude the fact that 343 is allowing moding in our games is amazing I've always wanted to see this shit now that we do its fucking amazing I still hate 343 with a passion but I gotta give it to them seeing them actually allow modding and putting the tools there is amazing
@@mariobadia4553 as much as I hate 343 I'm just glad they havent added a br into halo see us we dont need br forge and firefight is and will always be our br/warzone
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem It's not really an issue of them "letting" console players use mods, it's that they just can't without dealing with the overwhelmingly large mountain of logistical and technical issues that comes with console modding in general. 343 don't have a magic button that says "Enable modding on console", that's not how game development works.
Xperia I have a funny fake COD Zombies round joke if you reach round 117 on BO2 you will encounter a Master Chief Zombie with a pickable Energy Sword only on the Xbox 360 edition lol
I was so wrorried to see no content or mods coming out after the modding tools were released But im happy i was wrong :) please Xperia, show us more mods showcase ❤️
Honestly it just takes time for these things. It's good steam workshop support isn't here yet because when it does come, the workshop will be full of finished quality projects day 1
That Halo Wars mod needs to be a new mode in MCC or Infinite if the game engine can handle it. 32 vs 32. Call it "All Out War." Use control point mechanics and interactive buildings. Destroy all enemy structures to win. Capture points and new buildings will automatically built up and defensive NPC spwan over time. You can call in vehicles and swap out weapons and abilities at the proper building. In Infinite's case, let players use the campaign upgraded abilities/tools.
halo doesnt work like a bethesda game all assets are stored in the map files and those can get large where as a bethesda game has archives that can replace existing assets or add new assets without needing duplicates
Please PLEASE do not let them do this. If modders get a hold of Halo, it's dead. Permanently. Modding ALWAYS kills any franchise it touches. It's a cancer. Modders need to be kept as far away as possible.
@@jh302 Once everybody starts modding, then the game being modded just feels like every other fucking modded game. Change the game balancing, add whatever fanfiction headass weapons you want, make the characters look like other characters. "Hurr durr, look I put Harry Potter into Halo and changed the warthog to look like the DeLorean from Back to the Future." How many Halo mods have been released now that utterly destroy the core design of the game. Altering how much damage each weapon does, rate of fire, range, changing HP of enemies, spawning, movement speed of the player character. Whatever semblance of a game was there has been reduced to a memory.
My favorite part is that THIS is the production video you release after the infinite co-op stuff, instead of a breakdown or reaction to it. It really drives the point home that 343 has, yet again, failed… and I don’t love that, but it’s a point that needs to be made until 343 stops dropping the ball
Didn't he stream the co-op reaction stuff the other day? A breakdown video would be redundant. Plus I imagine he'd wanna wait for the official release before making content on it.
This video really just make me wish mods were on console, and after seeing that post on Twitter about 343 and modders adding cut content back to halo CE and 2 makes me have hopium
These modders are the people I wish could direct art and design for new Halo games, they fundamentally understand the core aesthetics that make Halo what it is and know on a deeper level what Halo fans want from the game.
Man i wish mods were more easily accessible, that's the only problem with Mcc mods right now that they're not as easily accessible as HCECE was where it was just 1 map file and didn't need to replace old stock maps with modded maps. It's really hard to get games together because of all the steps it takes in some cases, besides that Mcc mods are awesome i just hope they let you load custom maps on their own eventually and host servers with custom maps
I really wish someone would mod things like the WaW campaign into halo 3. At least some of the maps and the tanks so you can have big tank battles on selow heights.
I mean this is cool and all but it just means the heart of halo, Xbox, is just being left to the wolves, people who either don’t have the money or simply aren’t fans of pc gaming don’t really have much choice for new halo content nowadays
To be fair, allowing mods on PC just involves 343 allowing players to do their thing. Officially released mod tools is a bonus. Mods on Xbox / consoles in general requires a significant amount of consistent time and resources from 343 and the developers of these mods.
@@tTaseric fair point but look at games like Skyrim or fallout 4, the games may not have the best rep today but the modding scene even on console is a thing and Is proven to work
The only thing wrong with the Vampire is technically it uses 2 pilots. One pilots the vehicle and shoots the stasis cannon and the mini plasma guns. The 2nd pilot is the gunner that shoots the giant needle cannon. Hopefully he can further improve the Vampire to make it more accurate and able to have 2 people in it
My concept for an mcc mod. Unggoy Space Program. A Halo version of the game Kerbal Space Program. I think replacing Kerbals with grunts would be equally as silly. And kind of make every spaceship part be somewhat alien-ized. And use their own solar system from lore, and just have a fun idea of what their civilization was like before being assimilated into the covenant.
I think mod launchers should be a thing too. Like what if we could just have an new launcher to boot up some complete Star Wars overhaul mod with both a campaign and a multiplayer? It could have its own custom settings & all that.
Bro, when you said every single one of these mods were amazing, I was skeptical since I'm so used to being disappointed about games these days... and jesus christ you weren't wrong.
Mods I want to see in Halo 3 at somepoint: - Halocraft (Halo/Minecraft mashup): This mod would be pretty ambitious and would have every single object in Minecraft (including there functions) in the halo 3 campaign. You can build structures, put enchantments on your weapons, make redstone machines, and watch out for the mobs that can spawn along side the covenant enemies. (This mod may sound completely ridiculous but it is pretty cool idea I had.) - Halo 3 Warzone PvPvE: halo 5 warzone in halo 3 but without the req packs. Two teams of 12 fight for victory while waves of covenant drop in to disrupt it. Each team would have the ability to call in Marines, Ordnance, and Vehicles (a certain number of times during the match). This mode would be set on maps nearly twice the size of forge world. Other gamemodes in this mode include: Invasion 2.0, Base Grab, and Escort. Base Grab: FOBs are placed around the map and your teams goal is to control all the bases on the map. Escort: each team has a mobile base (either a Mammoth or Scarab), the goal is to escort your mobile base to the rally point and prevent the other team from destroying it. When any match goes into overtime, a flood Invasion decends onto the map as flood forms of all kinds attack the both teams. - new map called "The Depot," map is set in a railyard in New Mombasa. Trains are constantly stopping and moving in and out of the yard, constantly changing the sight lines on the map. Also be careful or you might get hit. - (Cursed mod idea) The quintessential ODSTs: replaces all of the members of alpha 9 with characters from the quintessential quintuplets ( that being,, Fuutarou, Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, Itsuki). This mod just states itself as a goofy character model swap.
These are insane, I can't wait for all of them to be finished so I can grind into a 360 rocket shot on a brute in a map from the first game. Or wait- do these mods work at the same time like in Left 4 Dead 2? Or would they interfere with one another and cause the whole thing to come crashing down?
As of right now, you can't use mods together if they change the same things (so you can't have something like Cursed Halo at the same time as Combat Revolved), If you have different mods installed at the same time they'd have to be editing different maps
I love star wars and all that, but I think I'm going to be a Halo Purist with mods. I want to be able to play through all of Halo in Halo 3 using all of the halo weapons & vehicles across every game. I want to be able to play through the Halo books. I want a fully animated Halo show to come out of this. Like. The possibilities of moding Halo MCC is nuts. They can even fix Halo 4/5 . Master Chief doesn't deserve to be disrespected like that.
That original Halo 3 menu makes me very hopeful the same can be done for the other games, the menus are just iconic, and the MCC one is just kind of bland, with no options to really tweak it. I just want my original Halo 2 menu back.
I wish modding was more available on the xbox 1 version of MCC. My friend and I have been forging maps together on reach since 2015 and tbh we're not very satisfied with a lot of the MCC Reach forge changes. Yeah they raised the build budget and the amount of things you can build, but there's still an upper total build item limit that effects everything and can't be passed. This "ceiling" is also much lower than the increase to the budget and item caps because we often hit this ceiling by the 10k-20k budget range which is only about a rough 50% increase in items on forge from what OG Reach had. If I could at least remove that limit it'd help a lot with building forge maps.
Ancient Humanity flood survival game mode. Or something with Ancient Humanity, I like their art design and concepts, they never really got touched on more tho.
halo 3 ce reminds me of whats happening with skyblivion and fallout 4 new vegas a very long running project that will take a LONG time with somewhat terrifying in how good it is
Yes. I remember Playing this Star Wars game for hours and then it got shut down but I didn’t necessarily get shut down but it’s just a black screen when you get in the server
When I saw the entirety of Halo 1 in Halo 3s engine I thought you were taking the piss but my lord that looks amazing. Still sitting here cheesing thinking about it.
the REAL future of Halo is Master Chief Skateboarding, why fight the Banished when you can shred gnarly grinds on them instead???
Chief would have beat Atriox if he challenged him to a game of Horse and switched up to Goofy
what's better about the halo 3 combat evolved mod is the fact that you can now use the energy sword in combat evolved
Listen man, games are an addiction that no one can stop I've played fps games since I was twelve and now, I can't stop
U could tell this is just for pc, wasted my fucking time
Skate 3 Halo

I'm a simple man; see a HiddenXperia video, I click
As a console main it is disappointing I will probably never get to experience any of these, they all look so damn great.
It could be possible, it happened with fallout 4
@@themoralcompass4185 I don’t think it’ll happen at this point sadly 😢
@@jawu9221 have hope we might get it soon
Based on what the devs have said on discord, console support could come if they see enough interest in it
The problem with console is the inherit limitations of the console its self (both in hardware and how it actually runs/operates). It's just time consuming to work around, its not hard per say, more tedious. It's far easier and less tedious, and time consuming to get mods to work on PC, and even then it can take quite a long time. Plus there's absolutely no guarantee that even if you can get the mods to work that they'll run well on console, especially those with large maps, lots of large texture files, things of that nature.
I’m not the best a modding. So, I really hope some good modders create some of books battles into game play.
Something like First Strike battle in the Covenant Space station or or some of the battles in Ghost of Onyx
These are cool but it's a shame that like 90% of MCC mods are in Halo 3. I really wanna see more stuff for Halo 2 in particular, ODST and Reach (tho reach has the most after 3) too. Also, I think the CE in H3 mod is maybe a bit TOO faithful? Obviously CEA went too far, but like the MP maps at least seem to use the same exact geometry for weapons and maybe the maps themselves, i'd like to see actual new models, and such, at least personally just having CE maps/assets with 3's lighting isn't that compelling, especially if the physics and aiming is like 3's, which frankly I think is less responsive then CE and 2 before it or Reach/4/Infinite after it (which is part of why I want more non H3 mods, haha)
We don’t have official tools for reach or 4 yet and halo 3s engine is just the most capable
Mod #12, the entire New Mombasa map with the ability to drop IN drop pods?!??? This brings back the feeling of my first time playing Titan Fall, and seeing the grandiose and awe inspiring feeling of seeing your team drop in from the sky
RejectedShotgun is a master of Halo modding.
If modders can make this much stellar content while sitting at home getting no monetary gain for their efforts, 343 has NO EXCUSE!
I mean do we know tho how much time has been put in the work for those mods? Is not that plain and simple, and there are others variables at that, given how 343 changes staff so frequently people have to learn the tools and stuff of the game, while a modders team doesn't once they did learn
@@eliavita I feel bad for the 343 development team but it kinda is that plain and simple tho. If you have the backing of a multi-billion dollar tech giant, your community shouldn't be out performing you.
343 being unable to retain a core development team is their problem & the community shouldn't suffer a lackluster experience because the higher ups can't run their business properly.
These mods are one of the reasons why I'm doing a PC next.. it's just worth it since you get so much more and can do so much more on a PC
The locust is literally the only vehicle I want to see in a main Halo game. Like they had so many vehicles they could have given us in Infinite and out of everything we got the razorback.
Absolutely. I want there to be more fan made missions for Halo CE. There was one made called, "Escape" which is just stellar. You play as a marine reaching the evac during two betrayals. it's so well done is essentially functions as DLC. Rubys rebalance has also turned Halo CE into a masterpiece, perfecting each level by adding cut content and revamping combat encounters. Honestly brought me such immense joy, this game has a second life. This is not mentioning the work done for other installments.
I think the big one that will do it for me will be Steam Workshop support. It’ll make it easier for me to get friends to play mods with me, as it’s hard to be like “Hey, do you guys want to manually replace map files so we can play this BTB mod?” With the addition of Steam Workshop, I can just have friends join and it will download the maps and modes for them like Gmod or Black Ops III Zombies.
Seeing all of these mods makes me so happy and proud of the Halo community for what they’re able to cook up.
Man... that Fire Fight on Sandtrap looked so good...
You know I would agree with you on this statement but there's still one problem halo doesn't have mod support for Xbox and half of the Halo Community is on Xbox but if they found a way to add mod support on xbox then halo can be the best online game Franchise
If Bethesda found a way to make mods work on the the PlayStation and Xbox then there's a chance the mcc team can make Halo mods work. Maybe even get help from the guys who did the mods from Bethesda to help them out
@@mariobadia4553 there is no excuse for 343 when bethesda of all people were able to figure it out.
bethesda are notorious for being incompetent as hell as a company. 343 while not being anywhere near perfect themselves are far more capable than bethesda are.
@@michaelkean5969 bethesda re not incompetent your a madman if you think they are theyre one of the few studios who actually minimize crunch conditions to near non existance. ontop of that literally everything they do is extremely hard. and they do it all with a very small team compared to most of the industry. people just hyper fixate on them and then people parrot those people like mindless drones.
the fact of the matter is halos engine is literally not set up in a way that could make console modding feasible all assets are stored PER MAP meaning map files are large and any mods would be pretty large
Stop being a console pleb.
I cannot wait for Steam Workshop with Customs Browser implementation.
This would basically be GMOD but in Halo.
Halo infinite NEEDS a gamemode like the frontier mod.
I thought that’s what the rumored BTB 2.0 was gonna be. Wow was I wrong
I helped fund RejectedShotgun's big mac budget for his mod. I hear it even has landing gear. 🤔
Swing by his stream on YT one of these days and say hi to chat. It's a super chill place.
RejectedShotgun is a legend in the community, he deserves a lot more support.
The great thing about modding communities especially in the FPS scene is they never seem to die, when it comes to big games.
There are still mods coming out to this day for Quake, the original one; from 1996! And the recent re-release version also has a vibrant modding community as well
343 : *Barely manages to deliver any tangible content to keep halo relevant*
Halo community : Fine, I'll do it myself.
For real, this is great, I just hope console players won't get left out of the modding scene.
Ay thanks for the shoutout, wish I coulda shown off an updated version of what I got
Halo: Combat Evolved: Custom Edition was the Golden Age of Halo in my opinion. Seeing something similar make its arrival would be a god send for the series.
I wish game companies learned from bethesdas engine and let people use it for mods. Open the engine up for people and let them play with it. Skyrim is still alive till this day with an active community because of its mod community. The whole games been rebuilt. New combat engines, lighting, expansions and campaigns, characters, weapons, armor, everything. Everything has been done and the replayability is insane. 10 years later and it’s still a thriving community. Let the communities take care of their game. If u can’t listen as a developer, at least make it easy for ur community to fix it for you with mods. So much untapped potential
Dude your lore videos + modding videos are genuinely so exciting to watch. Thanks for helping rebuild my passion for Halo dude 🫡
“You know what’s hot and keeps getting hotter?”
The weather in the UK right now.
Mod #4, is the mod makers name a reference to the WKUK? "I'm The Grim Dealer, and if you don't buy a used car from me you're better off dead!" from the "Take My Face Off" sketch. Maybe?
Yeah, it is lol. That's been my GT for years.
@@ShmeeGrim Haha, nice
Dude the fact that 343 is allowing moding in our games is amazing I've always wanted to see this shit now that we do its fucking amazing I still hate 343 with a passion but I gotta give it to them seeing them actually allow modding and putting the tools there is amazing
Now let's see if they let console users use mods as well.
If this was Modern bungie they would delete every campaign from the Master Chief collection to allow download mod support.
@@mariobadia4553 as much as I hate 343 I'm just glad they havent added a br into halo see us we dont need br forge and firefight is and will always be our br/warzone
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem It's not really an issue of them "letting" console players use mods, it's that they just can't without dealing with the overwhelmingly large mountain of logistical and technical issues that comes with console modding in general. 343 don't have a magic button that says "Enable modding on console", that's not how game development works.
@@tTaseric I know, but they still most likely could.
Xperia I have a funny fake COD Zombies round joke if you reach round 117 on BO2 you will encounter a Master Chief Zombie with a pickable Energy Sword only on the Xbox 360 edition lol
I was so wrorried to see no content or mods coming out after the modding tools were released
But im happy i was wrong :) please Xperia, show us more mods showcase ❤️
Honestly it just takes time for these things. It's good steam workshop support isn't here yet because when it does come, the workshop will be full of finished quality projects day 1
@@halo_legacies no its not good lol
That Halo Wars mod needs to be a new mode in MCC or Infinite if the game engine can handle it. 32 vs 32. Call it "All Out War." Use control point mechanics and interactive buildings. Destroy all enemy structures to win. Capture points and new buildings will automatically built up and defensive NPC spwan over time. You can call in vehicles and swap out weapons and abilities at the proper building. In Infinite's case, let players use the campaign upgraded abilities/tools.
Map needs some balancing and polishing but man if they asked me if they wanted to add it to the game officially I’d do it in a heartbeat
i took a shot every time he said iconic, I am currently getting my stomach pumped in the hospital.
“Will blow you away” I see what you did there. Love that breaking Ben song in the game
Legacies is super exciting to me, mainly because the custom music for that mod SLAPS.
Bro. The level of trip I'm having not only seeing a battle front II map in MCC, but to see you blasting my friends gamertag @19:55 on said map
always excited for a new upload
With Bethesda under MS payroll, they definitely should reach out to them to help 343i to make a powerful mod tool. Please Microsoft
halo doesnt work like a bethesda game
all assets are stored in the map files and those can get large
where as a bethesda game has archives that can replace existing assets or add new assets without needing duplicates
Please PLEASE do not let them do this. If modders get a hold of Halo, it's dead. Permanently. Modding ALWAYS kills any franchise it touches. It's a cancer. Modders need to be kept as far away as possible.
@@ThatGirlMisty what are you talking about halo mcc already has full mod support for most of its games and halos had modding support since halo 1
@@jh302 Once everybody starts modding, then the game being modded just feels like every other fucking modded game. Change the game balancing, add whatever fanfiction headass weapons you want, make the characters look like other characters. "Hurr durr, look I put Harry Potter into Halo and changed the warthog to look like the DeLorean from Back to the Future." How many Halo mods have been released now that utterly destroy the core design of the game. Altering how much damage each weapon does, rate of fire, range, changing HP of enemies, spawning, movement speed of the player character. Whatever semblance of a game was there has been reduced to a memory.
@@ThatGirlMisty halos been moddable since 2001
My favorite part is that THIS is the production video you release after the infinite co-op stuff, instead of a breakdown or reaction to it. It really drives the point home that 343 has, yet again, failed… and I don’t love that, but it’s a point that needs to be made until 343 stops dropping the ball
Didn't he stream the co-op reaction stuff the other day? A breakdown video would be redundant. Plus I imagine he'd wanna wait for the official release before making content on it.
I'm convinced Neckbeardb was an old Bungie dev
;)
This video really just make me wish mods were on console, and after seeing that post on Twitter about 343 and modders adding cut content back to halo CE and 2 makes me have hopium
Halo hopium here, geeze man why has it taken this long. Halo community deserves more. Deserves this.
These modders are the people I wish could direct art and design for new Halo games, they fundamentally understand the core aesthetics that make Halo what it is and know on a deeper level what Halo fans want from the game.
There is already an actual COD zombies type game mode being used in halo Reach Customs browser
Man i wish mods were more easily accessible, that's the only problem with Mcc mods right now that they're not as easily accessible as HCECE was where it was just 1 map file and didn't need to replace old stock maps with modded maps. It's really hard to get games together because of all the steps it takes in some cases, besides that Mcc mods are awesome i just hope they let you load custom maps on their own eventually and host servers with custom maps
Yeah, definitely agree. Steam Workshop support will be the best addition to the game since the mod tools themselves
A red vs blue multiplayer gamemode/map and/or campaign would be awesome
I really wish someone would mod things like the WaW campaign into halo 3. At least some of the maps and the tanks so you can have big tank battles on selow heights.
I mean this is cool and all but it just means the heart of halo, Xbox, is just being left to the wolves, people who either don’t have the money or simply aren’t fans of pc gaming don’t really have much choice for new halo content nowadays
To be fair, allowing mods on PC just involves 343 allowing players to do their thing. Officially released mod tools is a bonus. Mods on Xbox / consoles in general requires a significant amount of consistent time and resources from 343 and the developers of these mods.
@@tTaseric fair point but look at games like Skyrim or fallout 4, the games may not have the best rep today but the modding scene even on console is a thing and Is proven to work
I can’t wait for them to add steam workshop support.
Not a single one of these mods disappointed. Especially excited for the odst campaign map pvp
I kind of wish Zombies was made for reach instead of 3, the aesthetic would mesh so well
The only thing wrong with the Vampire is technically it uses 2 pilots. One pilots the vehicle and shoots the stasis cannon and the mini plasma guns. The 2nd pilot is the gunner that shoots the giant needle cannon. Hopefully he can further improve the Vampire to make it more accurate and able to have 2 people in it
Thanks for including my mod(s) in the video :D
The thumbnail makes me think halp battlefront start as a marine / grunt and work your way to a hunter / spartan
I can't be anymore happier about the future of halo
My concept for an mcc mod. Unggoy Space Program. A Halo version of the game Kerbal Space Program. I think replacing Kerbals with grunts would be equally as silly. And kind of make every spaceship part be somewhat alien-ized. And use their own solar system from lore, and just have a fun idea of what their civilization was like before being assimilated into the covenant.
I think mod launchers should be a thing too. Like what if we could just have an new launcher to boot up some complete Star Wars overhaul mod with both a campaign and a multiplayer? It could have its own custom settings & all that.
Bro, when you said every single one of these mods were amazing, I was skeptical since I'm so used to being disappointed about games these days... and jesus christ you weren't wrong.
Mods I want to see in Halo 3 at somepoint:
- Halocraft (Halo/Minecraft mashup): This mod would be pretty ambitious and would have every single object in Minecraft (including there functions) in the halo 3 campaign. You can build structures, put enchantments on your weapons, make redstone machines, and watch out for the mobs that can spawn along side the covenant enemies. (This mod may sound completely ridiculous but it is pretty cool idea I had.)
- Halo 3 Warzone PvPvE: halo 5 warzone in halo 3 but without the req packs. Two teams of 12 fight for victory while waves of covenant drop in to disrupt it. Each team would have the ability to call in Marines, Ordnance, and Vehicles (a certain number of times during the match). This mode would be set on maps nearly twice the size of forge world. Other gamemodes in this mode include: Invasion 2.0, Base Grab, and Escort. Base Grab: FOBs are placed around the map and your teams goal is to control all the bases on the map. Escort: each team has a mobile base (either a Mammoth or Scarab), the goal is to escort your mobile base to the rally point and prevent the other team from destroying it. When any match goes into overtime, a flood Invasion decends onto the map as flood forms of all kinds attack the both teams.
- new map called "The Depot," map is set in a railyard in New Mombasa. Trains are constantly stopping and moving in and out of the yard, constantly changing the sight lines on the map. Also be careful or you might get hit.
- (Cursed mod idea) The quintessential ODSTs: replaces all of the members of alpha 9 with characters from the quintessential quintuplets ( that being,, Fuutarou, Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, Itsuki). This mod just states itself as a goofy character model swap.
Yay I'm in this video.
But Nacht Der Untoten reskinned as a Forerunner facility... that's actually a really good idea.
me: sees awesome mods.
Also me: cries in counsel
That Mombasa streets map, with the music... GOD it got me heart feeling something.
This is so cool especially the halo wars mod, also I saw general heed at some point lol

Ayy good stuff covering everyone's hard work. The mod community really appreciates it.
He even showed the best mod first! Thank you for showcasing it :)

I would love to see remastered halo 3 scenes.
These are insane, I can't wait for all of them to be finished so I can grind into a 360 rocket shot on a brute in a map from the first game. Or wait- do these mods work at the same time like in Left 4 Dead 2? Or would they interfere with one another and cause the whole thing to come crashing down?
As of right now, you can't use mods together if they change the same things (so you can't have something like Cursed Halo at the same time as Combat Revolved), If you have different mods installed at the same time they'd have to be editing different maps
I wish they'd add Halo 5 to MCC. I can't even imagine the badass content we'd get out of that!
cant wait to drive banshee’s and fly scorpions with all these mods.
I love star wars and all that, but I think I'm going to be a Halo Purist with mods. I want to be able to play through all of Halo in Halo 3 using all of the halo weapons & vehicles across every game. I want to be able to play through the Halo books. I want a fully animated Halo show to come out of this. Like. The possibilities of moding Halo MCC is nuts. They can even fix Halo 4/5 . Master Chief doesn't deserve to be disrespected like that.
26:10 I was literally saying the exact same thing as you brought up the picture of arby and chief back to back
22:37 seeing that suppressor was a very nice touch. Hands down the second best promethian weapon in the game.
That original Halo 3 menu makes me very hopeful the same can be done for the other games, the menus are just iconic, and the MCC one is just kind of bland, with no options to really tweak it. I just want my original Halo 2 menu back.
Man Battlefront II + Halo 3. That's a combination that would've blown my child mind back then.
I wish modding was more available on the xbox 1 version of MCC. My friend and I have been forging maps together on reach since 2015 and tbh we're not very satisfied with a lot of the MCC Reach forge changes. Yeah they raised the build budget and the amount of things you can build, but there's still an upper total build item limit that effects everything and can't be passed. This "ceiling" is also much lower than the increase to the budget and item caps because we often hit this ceiling by the 10k-20k budget range which is only about a rough 50% increase in items on forge from what OG Reach had. If I could at least remove that limit it'd help a lot with building forge maps.
Ancient Humanity flood survival game mode. Or something with Ancient Humanity, I like their art design and concepts, they never really got touched on more tho.
halo 3 ce reminds me of whats happening with skyblivion and fallout 4 new vegas a very long running project that will take a LONG time with somewhat terrifying in how good it is
I love the comedy inside the sponsor sections lol
Yes. I remember Playing this Star Wars game for hours and then it got shut down but I didn’t necessarily get shut down but it’s just a black screen when you get in the server
When I saw the entirety of Halo 1 in Halo 3s engine I thought you were taking the piss but my lord that looks amazing. Still sitting here cheesing thinking about it.
It amazes me the level of detail people obsess over only to completely ignore the most absurdly bad death animations ever conceived in a videogame
