June has come and nearly gone and with it many developments here at 343 with lots of news, excitement, and sharing of what we’ve been working on. Specifically, it’s time for another MCC Development Update. These blogs focus on key updates and activities related to the 343 Publishing Team’s development work. Right now, the team is heads down on Halo: Reach for PC and Xbox – the first stop on the journey to bring the entire Halo: The Master Chief Collection to PC. Since our original announcement of these projects, we’ve had a couple large dev update blogs in April and May in case you missed them. (Note: If you did, bring snacks and proper hydration to get through them, there’s a LOT to dig into).
To kick things off we are going to talk a little bit about how we are going to be bringing the maps you created from the original Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4 into MCC! After that, we are going to discuss why Forge and Theater for Halo: Reach will be available for Xbox at launch but will come a bit later for PC.
Following up on last month’s update, we are also going to dive a bit deeper into questions we have seen come up around Halo: Reach’s new progression system that is coming to MCC. We have heard a lot of feedback and questions on this topic and want to dive deeper and remind people that you will be able to play with it and provide feedback when it is flighted in the future. This month I was also able to sit down with MCC for PC’s lead producer, Michael Fahrny, and ask him all sorts of questions sourced from players online. This will have a bunch of random Q&A, so be prepared for topic whiplash. Then, to close this one out, Ske7ch, who was at E3, will be on deck recapping E3 and all the team did down in L.A. this year and a reminder of other ways you can experience the same content as those at the show.
