Halo Custom Edition maps will no longer work on MCC; all mods will need to be made with the upcoming toolset or else the game will crash. The thousands of maps and mods made since 2004 will simply not work anymore.
Thoughts? I think they're getting revenge on MCC – in advance of Infinite's Forge – for having more players than Infinite.
source?
Something that we wanted to inform players in advance is that we are looking to make changes and improvements to modding in Halo: Combat Evolved, which means that MCC’s support for playing Custom Edition map files will be removed in the future, as these changes are not compatible with Custom Edition’s map data format.
As a result, players will need to use the MCC’s Halo: CE mod tools to fix up and rebuild any old Custom Edition levels for use in MCC, as attempting to play old Custom Edition maps once this change takes place may either crash the game or simply cause it to fail to load.
Is this happening with the August update? No. This is intended to be an FYI to let players know that this will be happening in a future update, which—at the earliest—is likely to be the next major MCC update.
op has a reading disability
fuck off 343 shill. Go read that blog post you've cited.
It clearly says that Custom Edition maps (which work right now) will no longer work because reasons. 343 is telling us to start over and redo our thousands of maps because of "changes and improvements" even though the entire point of the MCC is to be a frontend to load into various map formats (Halo Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, etc, and indeed Halo Custom Edition).
99% of Halo mods are for Halo 1, and are in the existing Custom Edition format. This is a blow to the modding community that is obviously meant to make Halo Infinite's Forge look appealing
>As a result, players will need to use the MCC’s Halo: CE mod tools to fix up and rebuild any old Custom Edition levels for use in MCC
This doesn't sound anything like the 343 is Ending Mod Support for MCC you put in the op, retard
>99% of mods are for Halo 1
>all existing Halo 1 mods will no longer work
>"g-guys we're not dropping mod support right before Infinite Forge launches"
>players will need to use the MCC’s Halo: CE mod tools to fix up and rebuild any old Custom Edition levels for use in MCC
Yes so 343 is asking us to start over, dickhead
FFS how hard is it for you to understand that 343 is disabling the compatibility layer they've made for Custom Edition? Why the fuck should they do that? Tell me, 343 shill
>fix up and rebuild any old Custom Edition levels
i was just going to say they are making it easier if anything and using steam workshop later as well as a custom games browser. shit on them all you want for infinite but MCC is somehow good
Tell me dickhead why this is necessary if there is already a compatibility layer for Custom Edition? Why do we have to remake our maps?
not him but you are so stupid. Are u white ?
343 shill, tell me why disabling the compatibility layer for Custom Edition maps (99% of the thousands of Halo mods out there) is unrelated to Infinite Forge coming soon
Because I doubt they would specifically fuck with just halo 1 modding to achieve that, instead of the other games in the same pack that actually have game modes in them that actually go by the name forge, schizo
>99% of Halo mods are for Halo 1
>I doubt they would specifically fuck with halo 1 modding
Are you being obtuse on purpose or are you just retarded?
Never mind that they HAVE specifically fucked with Halo 1: why should 343 disable the compatibility layer for Custom Edition?
99% of that modding happened 20 years ago user, a lot of those old maps don't even work in the mcc version without this update even fucking with them
Some of the most popular CE mods like Ruby's Rebalanced, Cursed Halo, and the Grappling Hook are new.
So if they are new that means the guy who made them isn't dead so he can update them with the new tools when they are released
nigger chill! why dont you go and play halo infinite to calm down? its free and wayyyyy better than 3 or ce.
I want you to understand that 343 is deleting a piece of software specifically so that we won't be able to play Custom Edition maps anymore. 343 has never removed features POST-LAUNCH before.
Why should they have to remake the maps when they already work?
I think you need to read the article they posted again user I think you are skipping over words, the op you put states they are removing mod support from mcc, which isn't the case, infinite may be shit but mcc is mostly good aside halo 4 in there
>99% of mods will no longer work
>"man OP is being disingenuous"
