Confirmed for Reach, but customization in 3 and 4 has been long requested so I wouldn't be surprised to see it in there at some point.
Fantastic to hear, thanks.
Someone should ask about the flaming helmet effects haha.
damn i was hoping it would carry over oh well, still getting reach
Wait. It synchronizes your Xbox Live save file even with the Steam version? Uhm. Wow?
Well the flaming helmet in 3 was Bungie exclusive made available to everyone in MCC, it's safe to assume it will be there for Reach as well.
I'm really impressed with the level of transparency 343 has shown over the past 2 years. In the first couple of years of their development of the Halo franchise they were not transparent at all and it felt like they didn't communicate with the community very well. It feels as though they have had an organizational restructure and approach to development and community interaction and it's great to see.
How will achievements like the 4 player split-screen one work on PC, though? Or are they going to change that one, so that it has an alternative unlock criteria?
Tell me about it. Glad it's actually happening.

I know it is silly but I sent a request to know if a version of Firefight could be done for all version of Halo in MCC.
Hopefully he'll answer the question we're all dying to know.
*Pushes up nerd glasses* If these are releasing in chronological order, THEN WHY IS 3 RELEASING BEFORE ODST?!
Well, if there is eventually mod support (which it seems like there could be post launch) someone might just make those modes themselves
Official mod support is being worked on with the Halo modding community
Do you mean like having Halo: CE, 2, 3 and 4 Firefight? That's something that could happen with mod support, but I kinda doubt that 343i will have ressources to work on this.
Because they need more time to add ODST. Believe.
Well, it does require an Xbox Live account, so I assume they'll store your progression on Xbox Live (without Gold).
This is weird, it's essentially Play Anywhere except you have to pay twice.
I think Ori and the Blind Forest and Quantum Break were like that as well. There have been a few others.
Considering Killer Instinct came out in 2013 and became Play Anywhere in 2016, I don't see why MCC can't do it.
In one of ske7ch's answers, he said Reach Forge and Theater will be coming later, around the same time as Halo 3 and 4's Forge and Theater.
Yeah these are the play anywhere features I wanted besides not paying twice. It's essentially play anywhere so now I'm confused why the only technicality is paying twice lol.
For PC, m0nkey is assuming it'll be there earlier on console since it doesn't need m/kb support.
Quantum Break wasnt play anywhere really. They at the end gave QB owners a PC code.
I don't quite get this. Do consoles have special hardware for splitscreen or something? I know it's been a trend to remove splitscreen options from PC releases, not suggesting they will for this of course.
KI Definitive Edition, which released in 2016, is Play Anywhere.
This seems like it's a weird circumstance where this isn't a new release for Xbox One so it won't fall under the Play Anywhere umbrella.
I think m0nkey was saying console players can make Halo 3 maps for PC Reach players, so that the wait for Halo 3 is easier ... but Reach/3/4 Forge are all coming at the same time, later on. I suppose custom games on Forge maps might be possible at launch, yeah.
Yeah that's what I said, that it wasn't Play Anywhere. It was cross-save but you had to buy it twice.
No it's always controls that screws everything up for PC
They don't have a great standard for multiple people on one PC and it has been an ongoing issue since the dawn of PC gaming
I guess modders would have more free time to do that compared to 343, especially if they are looking into mod support. It would be cool to see what modders can do.
Huh?
Implementing split screen on PC for multiple controllers is the exact same thing as implementing split screen on console for multiple controllers.
No one expects multiple mouse/kb support for split screen.
But it wasn't just the Definitive Edition that was Play Anywhere, all the existing stuff became PA too.
I think probably it's just hassle they'd rather not deal with, and giving everyone a Steam code would be easier.
No, it shares ranks, completed missions and statistics, but not save files / in mission check points ;)
They are not. It's not an Anniversary type of remaster.
They still look pretty good nowadays so I don't see the reason to. Halo 3 would be more deserving of it but that isn't happening either.
