343 Industries decides to include Co-op 4 in Halo 1 and Halo 2

343 Industries decides to include Co-op 4 in Halo 1 and Halo 2. The bewildering arrival of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC has finally come to an end, with Halo 4 being the latest title to join a few days ago. However, from 343 Industries they are planning to add more content to the collection and have recently been discussing some ideas.

Through Halo Waypoint, in a series of questions asked by fans, 343 Industries has decided to include Co-op 4 in Halo 1 and Halo 2, ensuring that although it’s a present idea, it’s far from being on their priority list. Specifically, it was Tyler Davis, community manager, who talked about it, ensuring the following.

I love this idea, but the big goal of the back work the team needs and wants to do is further down the list. Opening old games to make it an official feature is perhaps the largest on a 10-level scale of complexity. That’s not to say it can’t be done, but in terms of the effort to reach the ratio, I think it’s not as far off as updating the old cooperative netcode, or bringing in lost content into games, or even doing other Global updates with extensive game updates. collection. In the future, however, I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if gamers were able to tweak the game’s content to make it a reality on PC. In the future, when it ends without major support for MCC development, the modding community will be where MCC lives. I know this is true because we’ve seen many PC games take on new forms and a longer lifespan over decades across mod communities.

Sean “Scoops” Cooper, 343 Industries Senior Software Engineer, also discussed this further, adding that in addition to debugging, adding 3-4 players in cooperative mode to Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 would also require modifications. of content.

The H1 Remastered co-op code is heavily coded so that there are only up to 2 players (or at least the networked parts of it). So, to allow 3 or 4 cooperative players, it should first be fixed and debugged.

Therefore, everything indicates that the arrival of the 4-player co-op in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, if it were to occur, would not be in the short term.
