The Complete History of Halo MCC - 10 Year Anniversary Special 

From one of the most broken game launches in history, to one of the greatest videogame collections in history. This is the story of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Mcc going on pc was the best move 343 has done

Can’t believe this came out a decade ago

Thanks to the Master Chief Collection I was able to finaly play the legendary HALO games last year. I sure was late to the party, but I am happy the collection let me experience these great games.

I remember not having individual armour pieces for my Spartan in mcc. Whoever decided to add armour kits into mcc should be sent to hell

That last clip fucking sent me, how had I never seen that before in all my years playing Halo?

MCC coming out on PC was like christmas to me, I haven't owned an xbox since the 360 so being able to replay the classics on my rig was a childhood miracle come true.

10 years already? I feel like I time traveled in time

Mint! The Anvil - MCC Forge Community - would love to have you join an Invasion customs night hosted by us! We spent the last 4 years building and rebuilding Reach Invasion maps that are designed to be balanced around a matchmaking experience! You can see our lobby being hosted in the CGB at 22:00!

can't believe its been 10 years....i remember getting it for christmas 2014, so nostalgic. Miss all the people i met back then

Adding Custom Games Browser was the best thing they did

LIKE THIS IF WE NEED MORE MCC UPDATES (Halo Online Maps, H2A Maps, Spectre in H2A forge, H2 armor & skins)

It is crazy how this game took nearly 3 years to iron out most major issues. This truly was one of the biggest disappointment and gaming history in terms of launch, but at least it finally came together. Hopefully we as a gaming community and not just a halo community start holding these corporations accountable for broken messes that they never get away with.

MCC over Infinite

This is a great video for preservation of the great journey this compilation had!

This makes me feel so old😭

The only thing keeping MCC from being 100% perfect is that there's no CGB for modded content.

I remember seeing the ODST Multiplayer mod, and instantly downloading it on my pc. The pc port was such a smart move for 343

Halo theme manifesting*

Best game of all time. Easily.

For me and my dad, the 2018 trailer was a day like no other. We though we'd be stuck on halo 2 for good and then this happens and now my favourite halo games are 2 and Reach

Still need campaign cross play coop

need more of these documentary typa vids clitz🔥

Funny you uploaded this the same week I bought this thing on Steam! Really looking forward to getting into it and great video!

A..a decade...? *cough.. cough* I-is that...my blood,?

The nostalgia hits different 😢

I’m in my early 20s, so this game was basically my childhood and I have lots of memories of this game. This game introduced me to halo as I was too young to play halo when halo 3 or reach were in thier primes

AT 10:39 THIS MAN HAS FUCKING 516 SPARTAN POINTS

awesome video man, really grateful for the longer content, I know its much more time consuming.

Sometimes I just sit in the main menu and listen to the music, it’s so beautiful

MCC is to me, a timestamp of my time in Halo...as it released 1 year before I became a fan of this franchise, and what a ride it has been.

Honestly, I wish they had moved forward with the microtransactions for things like new armors and skins, or as a way to unlock previous seasons faster. Not because I would’ve paid for any of them - cosmetics mean little to me - but because it would’ve given 343 incentive to keep MCC alive.

Man that's so much content, great vid!

Let’s hope that if it comes to PS and Nintendo Switch we get the Mac world, Alpha moon and H2E3 missions and all the HO weapons plus a few other things

It doesn’t even feel like 10 years damn time really flies by. I remember the day this came out. I was eight years old at my cousins house on a late night 😢 makes me kind of sad actually

Now if only Halo 5 was on PC

Dude with the rockets was having a panic attack 😂

Brushed over the addition of Flood firefight

Halo 3 anniversary

I hope after the Digsite team's work is done, they officially add it in via patch later. I'd love to earn some achievements on those old missions. I'd also love to see Halo 5 integrated into the PC version. Yeah, the campaign sucks, but the multiplayer is a blast (and yes, I know Halo 5's multiplayer is already on PC). Adding it to MCC would really boost its popularity all over again, and perhaps all the awesome post game Halo 5 content they added would actually be played this time around! I also think simply adding the new weapons into the campaign would be a small but positive way to get people interested in replaying the campaign. Perhaps add a mech grunt boss or two as well.

I love that you added RuneScape music 🎶

Hey Remy! Great video! You continue to be a pillar of the Halo community! I would love to see more docu series content on the other Halo releases and maybe even other games like the classic COD games, Gears and so on. Keep up the great content!

I will play MCC for ever ! This game is the best experience on Halo ever made !

I feel like MCC just launch last year not like 10 years ago, dang time files so quickly and still grateful being halo fan during 2019 on the golden era of halo.

This game and early halo in general is amazing

343 seems to be the champions of launch blunders

Why have I been watching Mint Blitz for 9 years how old is bro 😭

Me being the 343rd like means I need to play MCC tonight

og runescape music goated

"Who ever controls Halo controls the fate of its entire universe" so why is 343i Greedy Spark still in control!?

I remember me and my friends being so disappointed when this came out Now, we all own it for pc and xbox

Yes I am also sure that thanks to the community the MCC will have a long life to come just not on Xbox or the Windows Marketplace

To this very day, MCC still has a creative content cap of a total of 100 gametypes and maps across the entire game. For anyone who creates custom content, this is a nightmare because you have to constantly delete and remake the content over and over again.

The complete port of MCC to pc was the happiest I had ever been with 343i and I fear that may remain to be the case regarding the forseeable future

Iv said this before I'll say it again I'm do glad Bonny Ross " "Left" "

Thanks for sharing

I wished you mention the new split screen mod that been release, in your video. But other then that, great history recap :)

i didn't have MCC until 2019 cause me and my family didn't have enough money until we won the lottery

Halo MCC and Battlefield 4 Both disasters at launch, both redeemed in time

Halo online was such a vibe. It was weird like the menu could only use arrow keys, a rush to see who can port the campaign, insane forage maps and modes. But man the Servers and servers regulars the nostalgia. Idk how to describe it you’d have to be there. Most similar thing I can think of was early halo infinite forge where you’d have to join a discord. Yeah everything is convient now but there was something special about that in between period.

Shameless plug: For theater, I made a program called "Greater Ark" (Windows only) that saves reports and films as you play. Working on a new version with Linux support that saves a lot more.

Great video

Not sure how it was so broken. Multi million dollar company that couldn’t fix a networking issue. Still gives me goosebumps hearing that halo 2 menus music, then seeing coming to PC.

Really good recap. As many screwups 343 has had with MCC, there is so much good that has happened and they really did a great job once they put the proper attention on it. A ton I love about the game. That said, I know support stopped for MCC (and I sadly know this won't happen), but 343 really needs to do one more update of fixes. This should include things such as get rid of the stuck in leaving matchmaking in the lobby, lobbies just not loading once you have everyone together, and obviously solve the name spoofing/cheating issue

My least favorite part of its development is when they stopped without adding a modded custom game browser 😅

Ten years is insane

what can i say, it was one hell of a night

Now i feel like playing the games over again for the 100th time.

now we just need local split screen support on MCC PC

MCC is amazing achievement. But it’s such a shame they left it 90% done. No modded server browser, no Splitscreen on PC, no mpds on Xbox. These missing things are preventing the game from reaching L4D2 and CSGO levels of longevity.

crazy

Just picked it back up after getting my G9. Love the ultrawide support. I’m having a blast. Replayed some campaigns, and the multiplayer doesn’t feel as sweaty. Granted… the OLED response time really make troller much more comfortable.

happy anniversary mcc

Great video! I have an idea for a future video if you're interested in something different? I'd love to see a video about the custom game community on the mcc in 2024. It's thriving and has so much cool stuff but so many halo fans don't know about it. I think some of it would genuinely surprise you.

To this day, some achievements are still broken

The halo 1/2 legacy graphic updates were so important to me and I’m so surprised they did it. Just wish they added splitscreen on pc to keep with the console legacy.

The only problem that i still have as a daily player on MCC, is the coop lag. Even in two consoles in the same house, the lag makes it almost unplayable for everyone that isnt host.

Would love to be able to co op campaign crossplay :(

Moral of the story: do NOT release an unfinished game, unless you want to spend the next decade fixing it

Still holding on to hope that they won’t abandon it. Still so much they can do. Starting with Digsite content.

What they should have done was released each one individually 10 years after release. This would have given them time to actually remake every single halo map.

A broken mess to my favorite video game of all time!

343 gave Halo 2 access to heavy ordinance on accident and we were NOT ready for it

It still needs *a lot* of work to polish up the single player experience and help preserve the games as best as possible. Fans should be more vocal about this. If only they spent more time on that than adding a ton of shitty cosmetics, maps and battle passes that ruin the art direction of the original experience.

The only problem I have with it right now is that the credits don’t roll when I beat the game when I beat all of the games it felt very awkward when you win but then you just get kicked out of the game.

I hope the future of MCC lives on. If they’re remaking halo ce again I hope it doesn’t kill the legacy halo

20:09 yo how did he flip us off is that a mod

Crazy reminder of how me and my brother would wait for 30mins for games to play lmao

Bonnie Ross killed halo my dude

Last time I was on, halo 2 did not have ranked play, only social......

Man is that Halo1 background thing a mod ? i miss that stuff alot ngl

Halo MCC came out 10 years ago 😅

And its still full of numerous issues. I cant even play online due to kernel power restarting my entire pc.

They still need to fix the audio in halo 3

i was 4 years old when this game came out lol

I remember paying for odst

Remember how amazing reach’s launch on PC. Only thing that bumbed me out were the trailers. They were so generic, just remaster the ones from 2010, those had emotion.

The best thing 343 has ever done and its mostly games made by another company...

The complete history of MCC: Broken at launch and still broken till today

The last thing I'd wish for is splitscreen on PC to solidify the collection and, so far Nucleus Coop has offered that experience though native support would make setting up local games far easier as in the OG times ! Though as support ended , it seems unlikely to ever happen. As Arbiter would say, were it so easy. Otherwise it's been fantastic and surprising to see MCC become what it is today , an amazing bundle for a franchise beloved by many.
