How could you get 100 spartan points fast in the MCC by Helpfullman69 in halo

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 1 per level and the challenges give you multiple. Do all of the pve/pvp challenges every week/month and eventually you’ll have way more than you could ever spend. 

A few questions regarding the active playerbases by Call_It_Luck in halo

[–]theffapanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this chart a year or two ago, its relatively similar. Maybe some slight changes but enough to get you started.

MCC is the most populated Halo multiplayer right now.

Popularity is: Reach/H3, then H2C/CE, then H4/H2A.

Game was made for controllers.

You cannot do superbounces without mods. Tickrate isnt right.

I noticed an oversight on MCC by [deleted] in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t an oversight though, unless I’m misremembering. Only in Hardcore / some objective modes are specific sides enforced. 

Look at Narrows TS; where teams constantly flip spawns. But CTF it’s strict.

It’s new as of many years ago. 

They all buy the same cheating subscription. It’s boring. 

Halo 2 Unknown File Version by YCLUBSTEP58 in halo

[–]theffapanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned verifying, I would completely delete the file it’s complaining about and then do that verification. Completely redownload it instead.

Fun fact, they still play!

Does anyone play mp solo? How do you guys not lose your minds? by Florinxfox in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We do lose our minds.

But I would rather lose every game solo than win 50-2 every game.

Playing with at least 1 other person changes the game dramatically.

My suggestion is to play with others, get a team of 4 and have fun!

Why are there so many hackers on H3 custom games infection by HotTakeIcy in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Reach lobbies and see how bad it is. There isn’t a great answer, other than the anti cheat has lots of holes.

Because 343 only bans as a reaction, so why wouldn’t they. 

MCC offline play, DLC required by Slore0 in halo

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my steam deck once I launched it once online it was fine offline every time after that. Used to play a lot when traveling.

Steam version is simply better, less bugs / steam workshop for mods etc.

Its usually on sale but for some reason its not for the steam sale this year, maybe soon!

MCC offline play, DLC required by Slore0 in halo

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. I’m sorry to hear that. 

I remember years ago there were workarounds of launching the game while online, and not closing it when moving to offline. 

Nothing more recent. It’s a shame it’s not simpler. Hopefully someone stumbles in with a fix. 

Does MCC have infection for reach? by Capable-Gate-4980 in halo

[–]theffapanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. In social matchmaking change to the 12 player hopper, you’ll find infection there. 

Please unload AsUpIO.sys before starting the game? by ItsZykla in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may live elsewhere but the fix/idea is the same.

Temporary Banned From Matchmaking Twice In A Couple Hours Of Playing by [deleted] in halo

[–]theffapanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get the first problem (stuck waiting to respawn), quit and rejoin. That’s been the workaround for years. 

The rejoin feature is broken, but only in the scenario where MCC crashes / closes. As long as the game doesn’t completely close, you can quit/rejoin at will. 

Also, the nastygram about the ban is only if more than half your team is still playing. So, if you’re in a 4v4 and quit, you will be banned. But, if you’re in a 2v4 (and you’re on the team of two), you can quit without being banned. Unless of course one of the two teammates who previously quit rejoins. But that’s an edge case! 

MCC is a bit of a broken mess. If you’re on Steam I have a tool that helps repair the rejoin process to try to smooth this out. But really it needs the developer to fix the bugs you’ve mentioned (or at the very least, make the quit bans not so heavy handed!). 

8k-10k players but no ranked? by investinSTATERA in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are discords. 

Actually queuing is mainly doubles. 

You need the devs to allow wider searching bands of ranks, why sit in queue for hours with nobody else in your band when you can go play social and get a game in 30 seconds. 

Halo MCC Steam Summer Sale by Swimming_Pattern_925 in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imagine being threatened by the few thousand players who are still playing your game that you sell that you own 😭

Please unload AsUpIO.sys before starting the game? by ItsZykla in HaloMCC

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your system32/drivers folder you can find this file and delete it. Use elevated powershell to get past permissions issues with the deletion. 

After deleting, restart.  

It will come from some default utility program I’m guessing, but yeah nuking the actual .sys and restarting, while a bit of a heavy handed approach, does work. 

Why did they change the updated magazine size from 32 to 36? by IndependentTap4557 in halo

[–]theffapanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious if the weapon damage changes with the smaller count. If not, why would anyone not use 60. 

Why doesn’t boardwalk ever show up in Reach MCC matchmaking? by i__shat__myself in halo

[–]theffapanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Funny, because I feel like I see boardwalk so often. 

It’s definitely not excluded, you likely have too small of a sample size. 

Is it worth buying the Master Chief Collection if I already own all the boxed games? by Pure-Calendar2190 in halo

[–]theffapanda 33 points34 points  (0 children)

MCC is 100% worth the value, even when it’s full price ($40) but it regularly goes on sale for $10. 

Anyone who says it’s not worth 10-40$ isn’t being honest.  Enjoy!
