As far as I'm concerned no map should be weighed more than another. There are over 100 maps not counting Forge maps and the game gets repetitive because it's always the same few maps per game.

Halo: Reach MCC |OT| Reaching back into the MCC without an MC

I'm on Reach pc playing mostly slayer. They even said in the patch notes that they lowered the weighting for the anniversary and dlc maps but for the past three days I've basically only gotten Swordbase, High Noon, Prisoner, Unanchored and Uplink.
It's pretty awful atm. Game needs a veto system.
They can't work on everything at once. Plus certain issues need actual investigating and discussion to narrow down the faults.
I'd be for a veto system like in Halo 3. I'd prefer they avoid a voting system like in Reach and Halo 4 though.
I get the suspicion that 343 working on too many things at once. As per the December update they're working on Halo 1, 2 and Reach for the Forge + Theater. All of that coupled with the multitude of issues with the Reach port and I'm not as optimistic as some might be.
I really want the entire collection to be as stable and bug-free as possible but I feel as if these bugs will just pile on with the releases of the other games.

Having never played any of the Halos but being a long time FPS player, I figured I'd start playing the Halos through on Legendary difficulty starting with Halo Reach.
That motherfucker is hard. I was utterly destroyed by the first enemy confrontation.

I'm so confused, how did I already get the ugly sweater nameplate? I thought I didn't meet the criteria and they weren't handing them out until later?
Im hoping they hire some more people/bring in some more outsourcing studios to help develop and maintain MCC now that it's already a huge success in PC.
Play heroic. It's fair but still very challenging. You need to cheese most of the game to play on legendary.
Here's a protip for Legendary: Plasma Pistol + any precision weapon will be your best friends.
Overcharged plasma shot will take down the Elites shields (and Jackal shields), then just pop them in the head.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but it's Splash Damage that is handling MCC on PC + a dedicated 343i team.
Legendary Halo is, was, and always will be profoundly boring. It nullifies so much of the weapons.
I'm aware, hence why I suggested they bring in some more outsourced talent
I wasn't too sure, if that's what you implied or not.
Multi is insanely easy with a controller though.
Then again maybe they're all just newbies to Halo, but it does fee crazy op
Even on Heroic, some weapons in this game are just bad and not worth using. The weapons that are useful on Heroic, which is arguably the most balanced difficulty, are still useful on Legendary. Stuff like the Assault Rifle, Spiker, and the Plasma Repeater are just not great on any difficulty. Even the Shotgun in this game is pretty bad.
I felt like Halo 1 and 2 on legendary are pretty fair in terms of difficulty. The rest of the series I didn't care much for cause I also felt like after Halo 2, a lot of the weapons felt watered down for the sake of "balance".
Eh, gonna have to disagree with you there on Halo 2. The Jackal snipers alone make Legendary pretty dreadful. I think it's actually the most unfair and unfun Legendary difficulty in the series.
Wtf. I'm in Scotland and always get put into East US or East US 2. Haven't seen one Euro server yet :(
Oooooooooooo. I mainly play on Xbox but I'm going to try blocking everything but Euro servers on my router and see if it works. Thanks for the heads up!
Edit: It worked! Found a big team game and it put me onto a West Europe server. No increase in matchmaking time either, just straight in. Magic. Cheers again for the link!
Edit 2: Tried again just to check and got another West Europe server. 2 out of 2. Feels so much better than playing on US servers.

If the gametype exists in matchmaking and you played it, then it will appear in your File Share under Temporary Files. You can that file and use it in Custom Games. Otherwise, I don't think it already exists as a gametype in Custom Games.
havent been keeping track... has the audio been fixed on PC for the campaign? if not, any ETA? thank you
I've never played it so it doesn't show in temporary files. Isn't there a way to recreate it in customs?
I think it's currently impossible to recreate, because there are some dev only settings that have to be tweaked like weapon damage, grenade bouncing, bloom ratio and etc.
I've completed all campaigns on Legendary (including Wars) apart from 2, for that very reason.
ah I understand. Sounds like 343i may be holding off on it until CE comes to PC
Where's all the snow maps. I want my banner.
Edit: I saw gameplay of someone playing that one gametype and map combo where it's just people in vehicles or whatever endlessly falling down a hill. Is that in one of the action sack playlists, or were they playing custom games?

No and no. It's their noted highest priority per their last development update.
how does the file share system work? I've never played custom games in Halo before
Who thought it was a good idea to make the requirement to earn the banner based completely on RNG? Playing a map that has like a 1/50 chance of ending up in the rotation 10 times is insane.
I think it's listed when a level loads. I don't remember off the top of my head but it is somewhere. Then do competitive score tracker because it'll take into account your time which affects the bonus to the score at the end.
I love it even more how the guy doesn't have a clue what a windows host file actually is. Nice little trick though, might try the same on xbox via router deny rules.
MCC PC is great at getting even objective only matches to Australian Azure regions, near flawless. MCC Xbox console however is a direct line to West US Azure region, sucks. I'll have to check for some MCC menu settings or apply this little trick more.
What's the point in giving a currency to unlock stuff when you have to do it order anyways, might has well just have it unlock automatically when you level up.
You have to spend a "Season Point" manually every level up, which is kind of redundant.
Eventually there will be other seasons when other games are ported and seasons don't go away but you'll be able to progress through which season you want with the points.
What old forge maps? The disc maps? The mm maps from back in the day?
