General Halo Reach MCC , Making Halo Reach a Third Person Game Tutorial

[AeroDox121 2]

So first things first we are going to be using assembly , if you do not have Assembly, you may need to head Here and download the latest Dev version of Assembly .

You Will also need to compile it, and there is a great video for that right Here

Once you have Assembly we can get started.

 

First Step.

Head into steam , click library, and find Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Right Click it.  Then click Properties , this will bring up a window and inside this window will be a set of tabs

You want to click Local Files , Then Browse Local Files.

 

Second Step.

Inside the folder we just opened will be a bunch of files and folder, you want to find and enter the folder called haloreach, and then inside that folder, enter the maps folder.

This folder contains all of Halo Reach's Maps. For the purposes of this tutorial we are going to find "cex_beaver_creek.map" inside this folder, right click and copy it and paste it to the desktop.

At this time i would advise you to create a folder inside this map folder called Backup, and copy all the maps inside the maps folder and place them inside the Backup folder for safe keeping.

 

Third Step.

Now we want to open Assembly. Once you have opened Assembly , on the left side of the window you will see "Open Content File" click that and find cex_beaver_creek.map you placed on your desktop and open it.

once you have opened the map , on the left side of the program window you will see the words Header, Tags, Strings, and Scripts. Click Tags.

 

Fourth Step.

On the left side of the program window you will see a big list of tags. We need to find the Weapon tag which looks like "weap" . you will find it near the bottom of the tag list as you scroll down. This is the Weapons Tag. it contains all metadata for all the weapons . Click into it and it will reveal a list of avaliable weapons we can mess with. You can find ANY weapon you want, however weapons WITHOUT a zooming function are better for this mod because when we active the next step, any weapon with a zoom function will be unable to zoom. If anyone discovers a way to fix this. please leave a comment and enlighten me. For now, lets find the shotgun weapon by selecting "objects\weapons\rifle\shotgun\shotgun" .

 

Fifth Step.

This is the last step, inside the window we just opened we are looking for this specific area, so scroll down until you find this:

Then Inside this box, you will need to scroll through until you find "Third Person Camera" and check the box next to it.

 

 

Thats It! Repeat steps Four and Five with any weapons you want and before you know it youll have a third person halo experience.

At the bottom of the main window you will see Save, Poke, Reload, Revisions, And Options. Click Save. A small window will show up that says "the metadata has been saved to the original file"

your now done with this mod. so go back to your maps folder inside haloreach, and delete the map "cex_beaver_creek" and replace it with the file on your desktop. Thats It Your Done!

To use your mod, you will have to launch Halo MCC With Anti-Cheat Disabled, and you will have to open it in a custom game and it will actually be called "Battle Canyon" but go ahead and load up the map and give it a shot.
