Here are the top five mods of 2024 for Halo: The Master Chief Collection as of December, 2024! This list is based off of the most popular mods from the Steam Workshop over the past year.
Downloading and installing mods through Halo: MCC is a very quick process and requires simply clicking the Subscribe button from the mod item in the Steam Workshop. When launching Halo: MCC, ensure to select the option to launch Halo: MCC with Anti-Cheat disabled which is recommended when playing mods such as custom campaigns and more! I also recommend downloading the multiplayer versions of Halo games you’ll be playing mods in since many mods require multiplayer assets in order to function including a few in this thread.
1. (H1) Cursed Halo Again
By InfernoPlus
This is the most popular mod in Halo: MCC and one of my favorites!
It adds a lot of randomness to Halo including:
- New interesting weapons.
- Altered and some completely new cut-scenes.
- New combat (e.g. being able to dropkick enemies).
- Altered enemies.
- Much more!
“Cursed” isn’t some sort of brand name neither, the mod actually curses Halo’s gameplay! If you play the modded campaign, you’ll see what I mean. For example, there are weapons that have barrels that are bent, so that when you shoot, the bullets don’t go straight!
2. Halo E3 Demo (2003)
By Neo Te Aika
Back in 2003 before Halo 2 was released, E3 show-cased a demo of Halo 2. This was the first public real-time demonstration of Halo 2’s gameplay which displayed new designs and features such as new weapons, vehicles, enemies, and more!
The level featured in this demo was the Earth city of New Mombasa in its early stages. While both the Outskirts and Metropolis levels had similar components to the demo, they still stand out on their own in the full Halo 2 game.
This mods allows you to play the level show-cased in the demo.
After downloading and installing this mod, simply launch Halo: MCC, navigate to Campaigns, and select Halo 2 E3 Demo to play!
3. Halo 3: Combat Evolved
By kierawrh
Did you ever wonder what Halo: Combat Evolved would be like with Halo 3 assets? This mod makes that thought a reality!
At the moment, this mod is a big work-in-progress and there are only two levels from the Halo: CE campaign remade with Halo 3 assets which includes The Truth & Reconciliation and Keyes. There are also two multiplayer maps included along with a FireFight map!
4. (H3) Halocraft
By InfernoPlus
I would have never thought that mixing Minecraft and Halo: MCC would be enjoyable, but I was proven wrong! This mod adds four destructible, Minecraft-like maps to Halo 3.
5. Halo 2: Uncut
This mod brings back versions of weapons and vehicles that were used before the release of Halo 2 that ended up being cut in the final release.
For example, the Battle Rifle weapon is reverted back to only supporting single shots and the Ghost vehicle fires both of its guns simultaneously and can overheat.
Conclusion
All in all, these mods are definitely worth trying out in my book, especially to users who are looking for new content to play within the Halo universe!
There are also over one thousand other Halo: MCC mods available on the Steam Workshop that I would highly recommend browsing through!
