Hey guys I'm new to the Custom Edition scene, I've been playing MCC the last few years (and Halo since 2001) and was wondering who else has played both?

I'm trying to figure out the advantages and dis-advantages of playing Custom Edition Vs. the MCC. Not just aesthetics but game play wise as well.

There doesnt seem to be alot of information on this topic anywhere.

Any input would be appreciated

Custom Edition has:

• Modding support (custom maps, custom mods, etc.)


• Custom dedicated server


• More options for controllers (Nintendo controllers, Sony controllers, Microsoft controllers, etc.)


• No requirement to buy a console because the game can run on most x86-based PCs


• Support for frame rates higher than 60 FPS (through Chimera)


• Mouse and keyboard support


• Custom FOV (through HAC2, Open Sauce, or Chimera)


• The original sound effects


• The original HUD


• Free online multiplayer


• Free name changing at any time

MCC has:

• Official support from Microsoft


• Matchmaking


• Better netcode


• Better support for controllers (deadzones and analog movement work properly), but only for Xbox One controllers (officially)


• Support for longer names (Xbox Live gamertags can be up to 15 characters)


• Split screen support


• More games than just Halo Combat Evolved
