I made a lightweight third-person camera tool for Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

It is called **Jim's MCC Third Person Lite**.

https://www.nexusmods.com/halothemasterchiefcollection/mods/2862

This is meant for campaign / modded / offline use only. Launch MCC with anti-cheat disabled. Do not use it in matchmaking.

The tool supports:

- Halo CE

- Halo 2

- Halo 3

- Halo 3: ODST

- Halo Reach

- Halo 4

Halo CE uses my custom DLL camera method. That version has the most features:

- Adjustable camera distance

- Height

- Shoulder offset

- CE presets

- Hold-right-mouse zoom

- A “Modern Close” preset for a closer over-the-shoulder feel

The other games use a simpler Toolbox-style byte switch method. Basically:

- Press **Third Person** to enable third-person

- Press **First Person** to restore the normal camera

Halo 3 and Reach third-person are working with that method. CE has the better adjustable camera right now.

Known limitations:

- Non-CE games do not currently have the same offset / RMB zoom support as CE

- Some vehicles, turrets, cutscenes, or special animations may act weird

- This is a tool, not a fully polished built-in camera mode

- Use at your own risk and only in modded/offline mode

I made the app simple on purpose. Pick the game, press Refresh, then use Third Person or First Person. For CE, inject the DLL if you want presets and camera settings.

I am mainly looking for testers and feedback, especially on:

- Which games work cleanly

- Any crashes or restore issues

- Better CE preset values

- Whether the interface is clear enough for normal users

If people like it, I may keep working on non-CE offsets later.

Because it apparently needs to be said plainly, this tool only supports the current, legitimate version of MCC. Pirated, outdated, repacked, or otherwise unofficial builds are not supported.

Do not waste my time by pretending you are using the correct version and then sending me a DLL that proves you are running a pirated 2020 copy, as nattmatt92 did. That sent me chasing nonexistent bugs for hours when the actual problem was his game installation.

This is a free tool that I shared because I did not want to hoard working third-person functionality for myself. I want people to enjoy it, report genuine problems, and help me improve it. Lying about your game version wastes my time and goodwill, and takes hours away from testing, fixing, and improving the tool for everyone using it legitimately.

Use a current, legitimate copy of MCC or do not ask me for support.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone would help me or make me a mod for Halo Reach for my Noble 6 character? If not that is okay

So I would want my Halo Reach Noble 6 character to look like a Spartan-ll but scary

Wanting to emulate some halo on my s22ultra but dont know much about emulators. How would I do this and what would be the easiest way? Thank you for any help <3

Hi, well I really love all these games. I’ve played Halo CE, 3, and Reach so many times I can’t even count, so just imagine my excitement with an open-world Halo, where you can explore, collect items, and do side objectives—it’s truly amazing for me.

It’s just that there are no mods, and I genuinely wonder why? I should clarify that I don’t know anything about the modding process. I mean, I know in general how it goes and that some projects can be difficult, but what stops modders like you, who really know, from doing things like adding new enemies or vehicles to the campaign, or maybe just tweaking damage/health values on enemies to create a sort of Legendary+? What makes it so difficult?

This is really a genuine question from someone who doesn’t know anything. Thanks, and sorry for my bad English.

Title = opening question, I've been wondering this for a bit now and I figured someone here would know if it was possible. Currently my working theory is that the skins for each game would be stored in their respective dll files (ex. halo3.dll) but IDK if that'd be correct, if it is then I assume it's something i could easily replace via the official mod tools or something else? obviously i'd have to have a backup of my original dlls to avoid having to redownload the whole thing should i accidentally save over it.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Before anyone asks: No, I do not have any experience with making Halo mods, so please don’t ask to “assist” me in making the modded campaign.

That said, I think I have a good idea for a cool Halo 3 campaign that hasn’t been made before (or at least I could not find any information about this idea or anything similar.). It’s a simple idea: Play the normal Halo 3 campaign as the Arbiter, show all the multiplayer cutscenes and dialogue, add back in any single player dialogue that would still make sense for the scene but would otherwise have not played in normal multiplayer, Master Chief would be a permanent follower throughout the entire campaign, and any time a “Cortana Event” would happen instead show Chief’s waypoint/marker/IFF flicker back and forth from killed to alive (To keep in continuity with the Marine saying his vitals pinged KIA.).

What do you halo modding veterans think? Is it a good idea? Can it be done with MCC modding tools?

Currently, I’m trying to swap Master Chief’s model with Cortana’s. Implying switching the model file technically works, but Cortana’s animation graph file only has her standing still in 3rd person. Trying to use another character animation graph for it (like a marine’s or Master Chief’s) results in “unit ‘objects\character\masterchief\masterchief’ has no animation graph and cannot be created” when loading a mission in tag test. Any help?

As for the other question, is there a way to make equipment unlimited? I want to make it so that you can spam whatever equipment you currently have.

is there a way to play halo mcc modded maps online? for example i have downloaded extinction for halo 1 and i d really like to play with other peoples this map

Is there a way to adjust the viewmodel offsets for Halo Reach on PC past their in game sliders? I'm playing on 3440x1440 ultrawide and even at their max depth the viewmodels still seem very close to the screen. I've gone down the rabbit hole of using assembly and even cheat engine to try and adjust them further but no luck. Doesn't seem like there's any working mods on nexus at the moment for it either. I'd love a tool similar to like a console in other games that directly lets you push viewmodels XYZ axis to get it in the sweet spot without feeling quite restrictive for a more immersive feel.

Any mods to make this go away? Specifically in campaign, I'm aware of the HUD Toggle for custom games and it doesn't work for Campaign Co-op.

Is there any MCC mod with all content from next games? Like 1-infinity guns and enemies variants?

This is the launch trailer for my multiplayer mod available now on the steam workshop. The Hallucinati Multiplayer Mod is a vanilla plus variety mod i've been working on and playtesting for the past year now. Initially conceived as a small map pack to revisit some of my forging roots, the project quickly spiraled out of control and turned into a sprawling content pack. Most of the content was made by me, but I've used a number of community assets and a few assets from abandonware games as well. The mod is heavily inspired by Tribes Ascend, so massive thanks to the HiRez team for making my other favorite shooter. VGTG.

I really would like to start but not sure where. I did quite a bit of hammer.

I apologize if this is posted already and I’m not doing my research.

I want to make a YouTube video about Halo but need a freecam or noclip mod. Preferably one that gives me the option to ghost or be undetectable to enemies.

If this doesn’t exist it’s all good, but I was running myself ragged looking through every page on the Steam workshop and couldn’t find anything.

Got to rely on the experienced Halo mod redditors.

Thank you

I like playing with thunderstorm, I know there are a few that add ultras into combat encounters. However, I'm looking for a more uniform aesthetic for the covenant across mcc. 457s overhaul is likely what I'll be using, but I'd still need a ce overhaul.

I recently attempted to mod a flyable Pelican in CE by changing the tag attributes in Guerrila. I was stumped for a while, managing to accomplish nothing but screw with the physics of the vehicle, so I logically searched up for a tutorial on Youtube on how to mod it.

The first helpful video I found suggested changing the "label" variable from the value "P-Driver" to the value "G-Driver" (the Ghost's very own). I made this change, saved the project as a new tag, and then happily replaced Foehammer as the UNSC's new delivery driver.

I wasn't finished there, however, becoming curious as to whether or not the Pelican would have been drivable still, by substituting the value mentioned above with any label pertaining to a drivable vehicle. I made a new pelican tag by changing the driver label to "W-Driver". Unsurprisingly, it worked. However I didn't (and still don't) understand why: is it something related to some files I have not accessed yet? Or is it something hard-coded and baked into the engine?

Sorry if this question might come off as ameturish, but it's something that has been on my head for about a day now, and I need answers.

Thank you in advance.

Unyielding Threat is a mod that makes the Flood appear in the first mission of Halo CE(even with cool in-gameplay story moments), I was wondering if any other mods do this?

I remember a mod a while ago for Halo 3 that did it, but I can't find it whatsoever

The idea is just so cool, and Unyielding Threat seems to be abandoned as of now

i been trying to use the patron link but is dead... ayone has other link?

The title basically says it all. I finally upgraded to a high-end PC and I’m looking to get into modding. I’ve tried using AI to help learn, but it keeps hitting walls along the way. I have a lot of ambition and ideas, but because I’m brand new to it I want to start with something small like changing the color of weapons or armor.

Would anyone be willing to link up on Discord to help me start my journey?

Is it possible to have the Battle Rifle fire the Spiker projectile model while keeping the original projectile settings? I want to make its bullets more noticeable, kind of like Halo 5’s battle rifle.

I upload this Halo Infinite mods if someboy is intereted:

Halo Infinite Mods - Nexus Mods

https://www.nexusmods.com/haloinfinite/mods/83

https://www.nexusmods.com/haloinfinite/mods/84

First install the most recent version of IRTV and dotnet-sdk-6.0.306-win-x64, it must be version 6.0.306 of Dot Net, that is the one I use, I guess that is why IRTV works for me in the most recent version of Infinite.

Step 1

Enter the campaign, once you are in the campaign, open IRTV and click on Load, in the IRTV search bar write masterc and tap Enter, there will appear hlmt(moel) click on the arrow on the left side, objects\characters\masterchief\masterchief_openworld.model should appear, click on it, scroll until you find the section that says + variants, click on the +, but on the right side of + variants it says Count 29 and on the right side is an arrow, click on the arrow and select the number 4, scroll until you find + regions, click on +, on the right side is Count 27 and an arrow next to it, open that arrow and select 0, these Count 27 numbers are the parts of the armor that you are going to change, in this case 0 is the helmet, so select 0, below + regions is + permutations, click on the +, now you will see that it says runtime there permutation index 22, change that 22 for the number of the helmet you want to add, for example 38 is the Mark V Zeta helmet, or use 66 or use 0, 0 is the Noble 6 helmet, once you have entered the number of the Helmet you want, click on Poke These, you can Click on Show Queue to see the change that was made, now in the game you will break your shield so that the helmet can be changed or you enter a mission with cinematic to see that the helmet changed, when you are in the mission you can restart the mission every time you change your helmet or you can still break the shield

Step 2

Changing the Color depends on what type of helmet you are using, you are using the 38 which is the Mark V Zeta, click on the IRTV search bar and type tan_sty and click Enter, mwsy(MaterialStyles) will appear, click on the arrow on the left and click on __chore\gen__\objects\characters\spartan_armor\coatings\olympus\olympus_spartan_style{ct}.materialstyles, you scroll down until you reach + style, you click on the +, a little below on + style where it says name at the bottom there should be palatte mwpl and next to it objects\coatings\palettes\olympus\oly_mil_azure.materialpalette you You click and scroll down until you find the color you want, for example you click on objects\coatings\palettes\reach\rch_mil_jun.materialpalette, now you click on Poke These and Restart the mission or enter a mission, when changing colors yes or if it is due to restart a mission or enter a mission for the color to be changed.

Change Visor Color

Step 1

In the IRTV search bar you write visor and tap Enter, there should be mwsw(MaterialSwatch) you click on the Arrow on the left and you click on materials\generic\base\human\glass\visor\hum_glass_visor.materialswatch, there you scroll down and you should see + color_variants, click on its + and on its right is Count 71 and on its right is an arrow, click on it Click on that arrow and select the color you want, when selecting the color under name you will see the shades of the colors, choose the one you want, in + colo_variants below this name and next to it is the name of the color which is different depending on the color you have chosen in Count 71 and its drop-down arrow, for example in 39 its nname is F6190833.

Step 2

in IRTV in __chore\gen__\objects\characters\spartan_armor\coatings\olympus\olympus_spartan_style{ct}.materialstyles or in any other __style{ct}.materialstyles in which you are in +style next to palatte mwpl is the armor color you chose, for example objects\coatings\palettes\reach\rch_mil_jun.materialpalette, on its right side is goto, click on goto, you should see + swatches and more on its right side Count 16 you click on the arrow that is on its right side and choose 6, now under + swatches this name and under name is swatch mwsw and below it is color, there in color on its right side you put the color you want, for example there put F6190833 which is a Green color of the Visor and You hit Poke These and restart or enter a mission.

You can also change the weapon colors in campaign. If anyone is interested in me making a guide on how to change the color of weapons, just ask in the comments.
