Howdy folks.

We've got a shadow drop for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on PC! Update your version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on either Steam or Windows Store and you'll be able to play.

We ask that you use this thread for general discussion of the overall launch day, and MCC PC/CEA.

WHERE TO BUY MCC PC/HALO: CEA

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We have an FAQ setup for MCC PC, which can be found here. Please check this before submitting a post as its likely your question has already been answered here.

We'll be constantly updating this with more questions as time goes on. If you feel anything is missing or incorrect, please let us know.

AUTO MODERATOR

We figured this would be worth highlighting specifically, because no doubt it's going to happen to some people. We currently have various filters setup with Auto Moderator, which will automatically remove and reply to threads which contain certain keywords. We won't list the specific keywords because it will likely evolve over the coming days, but this is to help reduce the amount of threads that will pop up relating to Bugs, Issues and frequently asked questions.

We are fully expecting the bot to remove some posts that it shouldn't, given that it is based off of keywords. If this happens to you, we apologise in advance and ask you to please send a message into mod mail via the link the bot will post, and let us know. We'll fix it ASAP.

I'm a bit concerned as well, as far as the latest flight for me zooming was broken and inconsistent, switching to secondary weapons was inconsistent, I couldn't pickup any weapons on map.

Check out the Known Issues list and patch notes - a lot of areas were indeed addressed beyond the last flight build. But, there are also some areas that the team is continuing to work on. Goal is to get a solid foundational experience but the work doesn't stop once it's "released" (just like there's more work happening on Reach w/ bug fixing and even new features).

I wonder if they’ve fixed Reach’s audio.

Check out the development update blog that launched last week at Waypoint. Reach audio isn't updated yet - but the team is making a lot of progress. More info in that blog.

Eh hope they fixed the bugs found in the flight :/ I had audio issues and vehicle issues during the flight that were very annoying.

A few audio issues are on the Known Issues list - nothing to the extent of what Reach had, but the team is aware and continuing to work on various bugs and issues for the first CEA update.

Pretty sure they said they are just going to turn off bloom in the playlists, which solves the problem.

I wouldn't say it 'solves' the problem, but it's a temp bandaid to help mitgiate the issue somewhat. This is an area the team will continue investigating and working on.

i'm really happy now that the admittedly frustrating progression system is starting to make more sense. getting rewarded for unlocks in reach while play halo 1 is nice, but i still wish you got xp for playing the campaigns. my friends and i want to beat it on legendary, but it just feels frustrating. i get why they do it, but maybe add like an xp cap, like firefight or something.

Challenges are still coming and are meant to help bridge that gap between offline/non-matchmade play and still being able to earn some XP and progress. It's taking longer than the team anticipated or would like, but they still plan to bring Challenges to MCC as another avenue for progression.

Just to check, MCC got the Halo CE story. Not the MP yet?

I've downloaded the Campaign but my Steam edition seems to stall out trying to download the MP (maybe I'm not giving it enough time but it sits like this)

Assuming you ended up getting this sorted out - a minor issue was discovered on the Steam side right at launch where not all content was accessible. A Steam restart should've resovled (it did for me).

They explicitly said in the flight they were not working. I would assume they're working now, but I'm really curious if they're just ran in-game and not through the stupid Halo Channel app like MCC on XB1.

They work, but there are a few known issues for scenarios where they can stop working as intended. Should be referenced on the known issue KBA at the support site.

Have there been any changes to the Xbox One version of the game?

Xbox One MCC update is coming soon - needed a bit more time. It will include some misc. bug fixes across the collection and the new CEA options like being able to toggle classic audio in MP, the 3d view model for customization, etc.

Hey ske7ch, I've looked over the known issues list, and other's have pointed out the same to me, but I'm not seeing anything about these specific issues, or the default keybind issue that people mentioned.

Picking up weapons on map shouldn't be an issue anymore, some zooming work was done... Today the team will be reviewing feedback and support tickets and updating Known Issues and their areas. If you are experiencing issues that you dont think are accounted for, please file a ticket at support.halowaypoint.com - this is the best/primary way for the team to track and prioritize issues. Also, as a general rule, please ensure you have the latest Win10 updates, we've seen numerous issues caused by being on older versions of Windows that go away once updated.
