main menu has double audio (game itself and the reach version) is it possbile for a fix?

Just wanted to say thanks for the work! Also cool Vi pfp lol

Hello I have a suggestion for something to make in your free time: can you put together a way to view all the cutscenes? If you can thanks in advance but if not I understand that it is a lot of work.

you can pick settings for whatever menu you want, i personally use it for the customization menu

yeah I have it but I mean is the settings background the same as the matchmaking background as I do not remember its been ages ago.

yep, i already have one in the workshop here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2996019117

mann that lameee is there a way you can get the halo 2 multiplayer and all that stuff from original halo 2 cause i love the original halo mainu's and suhc.

i set act 2 for main menu, firefight for reach as a whole, and reach matchmaking for matchmaking. trust me i wish i could have them all active for different menus but that's how it was implemented

how do you have each images for each selected thing like the reach machmaking selected for reach machmaking and ect ect cause I seemed to only be able to select one thing for one and such,

Only thing i can think of, is you accidentally toggled the "Game Background" accessibility setting.

Worth having a look at least.

I did that and it still wont change, it seems to be like this for any background video though, I've also notice it happens on other people's accounts too

You need to go to Options and Career > Settings > Video > Configure Backgrounds > Matchmaking, and select the matchmaking video you want from there. It's its own separate section because Matchmaking itself isn't tied to any one game.

The video doesn't change when I select matchmaking

YES!! I've always loved these, they just added so much to the expereince of playing reach back in the day.

for some reason i cant select the menu backgrounds in backgrounds menu

reach is just louder i think, pretty similar volume to what i remember from 360

Looks clean. Brings back memories. Rain SFX is a bit loud compared to your other menu videos.

not unless 343 eventually adds a "play from favourites" type option where you favourite all of reach's videos and they cycle that way

is there a way for the videos to cycle through like in the original reach? btw i LOVE this mod, absolutely AMAZING!!

You can install as many modded videos as your storage space will allow (presumably). They'll all show up in the list at the bottom of the Configure Backgrounds list.

Can I have all of your custom backgrounds installed at the same time and use the ones I like or I can only have 1 installed?

Options and Career > Settings > Video > Configure Backgrounds, pick a section you want a reach video to appear, scroll down to below the built in videos, and all modded videos show there.

i feel dumb for asking but how do i enable this in the actual game

No. My video collection aims to preserve the Legacy experience of the menus as much as is technically possible within the bounds of MCC. This includes SFX for that reason.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but all the backgrounds have ambient sound effects, please could these be removed so as to not clash with MCC music?

Yeah idk what was up with that. I'm just gonna chalk it up to people having better ears than me. That or something borked on the render and I just didn't notice.

Ooo, I was gonna come back here and say something about the audio issues, but I just saw you re-rendered them and it most certainly fixed the odd electric humming noise and general audio distortion. Thank you!

This is absolutely epic
Imagine if 343 made it possible to set up a menu for each game type! Like a menu for Reach's campaign and multiplayer + forge and firefight... and all would be separate menus.

That's a shame, yet another oversight by 343... Oh well, baby steps. Hopefully one day we'll be able to use all the videos you've brought back. Thanks again

Sadly no, the closest you can get is using the Matchmaking video for the matchmaking menu, you can't do it super granularly per game. So any menu that is Halo Reach, such as "Halo Reach Firefight" or "Halo Reach Custom Games" or "Halo Reach Forge", will just use whatever you've set for the "Halo Reach Background" section.

Amazing stuff, thank you. Is there any way to change the custom games, forge and theater menus to utilise all these videos?

Go to Options and Career > Settings > Video > Configure Backgrounds, then pick a section you want to change, for example, Main Menu, scroll down in the list till you see videos beginning with "Reach - ", click one, for example, "Reach - Main Menu", back out of the menu, change another section, or back out all the way and hit "Save Changes", your main menu will now be my custom video. This works with Anti Cheat on as well.

I've downloaded it, how do I set it up?

Honestly I'm surprised, it's been nearly 9 years of the same menu music. At any rate, the purpose of my mod is to bring back the Legacy menu with the Legacy audio intact, something that MCC lacks.

@Cryosphered but all I want is the stock MCC music?

Ghosts in the machine I guess. np

Yep, that just fixed it for me after a reinstall of the new version. Thanks bro!!

I just checked the source video recordings. There is no "electric noise". There is, however, wind ambience, which yes, it's present in the legacy reach menu.

At any rate, I just finished uploading a re-render of all the videos. Maybe that will alleviate some of the supposed issues that I don't hear.

All of them except for them except for the matchmaking one

on which video specifically

Is the weird electric noise supposed to happen on the reach backgrounds?

No. However, this update includes a... "feature"? Set main menu music to zero, it also mutes the binks.

Could a version without the SFX be uploaded?

@mourningstar: the white graininess is actually the rain that was present in the legacy videos, I can get rid of it if there's enough demand.
@phantom: there's no breathing, all audio is the original legacy ambient background effects straight from reach.
@half pizza: can you provide a description of these "issues", because i'm not hearing them, I rigorously tested these before uploading and even now i hear nothing but the original legacy reach menu audio in all of them

@M0URN1NG5TAR I am too plus some gradient audio or something like that. One of these also has audio of breathing too.

So as much as these are cool, there is some audio that is picked up which sounds like you where breathing during the recording of the background. plus their is some strange audio pick up like maybe a fan the mic was hearing while you did the audio. not sure what it is.

These are cool! Although there is some weird low quality corrupted sounding audio on the Reach main menu that could do with some tidying up

estos fondos me traen nostalgia muchas gracias buen aporte

Been waiting for these, now the collection is complete. Excellent work, much appreciated.

Anybody else seeing a bunch of white graininess on the title screen?
