NOTES:
- Please note that mid-mission saves will
not transfer between PC and Xbox One as they are not compatible.
- Steam is self-contained and will not impact Xbox or Windows Store saves.
-
This basically means that if you Save & Quit on PC at a checkpoint mid-mission, you must resume your progress on PC as well.-- Source:
MCC PC Crossplay & Cross-Progression – Halo Support- The
Because It Wasn't Hard Enough achievement (and the
same achievement on Xbox Live) will
not unlock upon completion of the Lone Wolf mission. This is because 3 non-scoring skulls (Cowbell, Grunt Birthday Party, and IWHBYD) are included with the LASO skulls and cannot be disabled.
Prerequisites:
- 64-bit Windows 7 (or newer) operating system (
How can I tell?)
-
Halo: The Master Chief Collection for PC installed

HudSight app or sticker on your computer monitor to mark where the reticle/crosshair would normally appear

First, we are going to launch the game and bypass the
Easy Anti-Cheat software so that we can run our mods.
