Hey guys, I'm a new user with XIM4 and the PC XIM4 Manager user. I'm hyped about playing HALO MCC on my XIM4, I have seen you will support the release on 11/11/14 does this mean you will release an update for XIM4 so we can connect to it or, does the date mean you will start making the update for XIM4?
-
They can only start making the ST's when game releases so will be a while after that date.
-
I have it preloaded now so the plan is to start training on Monday night at midnight. Training takes 12-24 hours per look mechanic and MCC has 4 look mechanics. So the usual estimate of less than a week after release will hold true.

I hope it's rolled out faster but i guess i will have to wait.
Thanks for the answer!

Do you think there will four separate translators that we should to use for this game? Meaning depending on what playlist we are playing, we may want to switch it?
-
yes this will most likely be inevitable unless you play a playlist that only runs one game
i recommend to use keyboard hotkeys
eg
F1 = H1
F2 = H2
F3 = H3
and so on
-
Thanks for the tip, will do :)
-
Probably 5 look mechanics, since MP maybe different.
-
Any ideas of other ST's we can use until they are released? I considered the Xbox 360 versions of the games but I'm not sure about that since there are different buttons on the controllers.
Also, do you think the ST's will be easy to create/train (not sure of the lingo) since all the games are basically ports?
-
We already support three out of the four games but obviously MCC could have an altered look mechanic because of the new controller. Deadzones between last gen and current gen have always been different up to this point. I suggest using:
Halo 1/A - use the halo anniversary
Halo 2 - Try halo anniversary followed by the rest for the best fit
Halo 3 - Halo 3
Halo 4 - Halo 4
These are just suggestions so you should try what ever you have available if these turn out to not be a good fit.
-
Would be really cool if one worked, Halo 3 and Halo 4 are straight ports but like you said they could be different still, I'm hoping they could actually work.
-
With the games now running at 60FPS do you think that will drastically change how the ST for each game functions?
-
i can confirm the CEA ST works great for CE
-
I wonder if the H2A look mechanic will be the most similar or identical to H2 classic or H4. Is it possible there will need to be 5 STs?
-

excuse my moment of dumbness but whats the CEA St?
-
Halo 1 is named Halo: Combat Evolved. Halo 1 was remastered last gen and named Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary. This is included in the MCC. Most people just call it halo or halo 1 but it looks like Odin is used to calling it CE and now CEA. Which is fine.
st = Smart Translator

Hello, The Halo 4 ST worked for me on H2A (It's my first XIM, i'm new to it) button binds didn't work correctly though even when bind and controller options set to default.
YouTube video's were extremely helpful as i'm a new user on XIM4, Tutorials by OBsIV

It seems like H2A's aim feels different than H2 Classic. Therefore, I think we need 5.
-
Are the ST soon to be coming out? Next week?

would like to know as well

I have it preloaded now so the plan is to start training on Monday night at midnight. Training takes 12-24 hours per look mechanic and MCC has 4 5 look mechanics. So the usual estimate of less than a week after release will hold true.

Did you have to redo your Halo CE one since your power went out? If so that sucks man
-
The problem was more about being out of power for hours throughout the day. Luckily the last time it only flickered off and then on again as I was going to bed so I could set up the trainer again and not lose a night of training.

What do you mean "going to bed". I thought you never slept?!
-
When mist says sleeping or going to bed he means he closed his eyes and shuts down the lights, he isnt really sleeping like humans do, he just arranges his thoughts in a tactical manner do be as efficient as possible once he decides to open his eyes again
At least thats what you will figure when following mist via XBL ;)
-
STs set for release this week guys?
-
Soon. Keep checking back.
One thing to note guys. There will be a 'Halo 2 Classic' and 'Halo 2' ST. 'Halo 2 Classic' should be used for campaign regardless of which engine you are using in campaign and classic maps. The 'Halo 2' ST should only be used for Halo 2 anniversary maps.
-
So 5 STs for the game then? Wow that's a lot of switching
-
hotkeys ftw
-
How many configs can the 4 hold again?

16 i think

I'm testing out the new MCC STs that mist just created and they are excellent. This combined with 1080p/60fps Halo makes it feel like a whole different experience.
There are 5 STs and they are all significantly different.
-
It does feel great. Now that they've given us 1080P/60 it's going to be hard for them to take that away. Halo 5 should be even better.
MCC STs are out now. Halo 2 is a little tricky, see below
*Halo: MCC uses five different Smart Translators. You will need to switch between configs depending on the game you are playing. Halo 2 uses a different look mechanic between Classic and Anniversary. The Halo 2 Classic Smart Translator is to be used for Halo 2 Classic multiplayer maps and the Halo 2 campaign. The Halo 2 Anniversary Smart Translator is to be used for Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer maps only.
You are also required to set the maximum in-game sensitivity in each game and use the universal default button layout.
-
Good job mist, they feel good. For halo 3 though the speed turn is crazy fast but still controllable. But thnx for your hard work. Now if 343 can finally fix MM >:(
-
Halo 3 has timed acceleration when you peg the stick. It's not ideal when you seek linear movement but it helps when the turn speed is low.

Speaking of Halo 5. The beta starts on December 29 and runs for three weeks. Is that long enough to warrant an ST? I know a lot of us around here would really appreciate it.
-
thanks for the work mist :)
-
Good work, I will try them out tonight.
-
Same issue as with COD:AW: corrupt download.
Manager is not auto downloading, have to force the download, it then says its corrupted after it downloads.
Running the RC manager and firmware on Win 8.1.
The fix is to reinstall manager.
-
I think that's happening because Manager can't delete the file that's already there. Do you ever run as admin?
-
Do you guys use ADS for the Halo games?
-
Do you guys use ADS for the Halo games?
only when you want independent mouse speeds, the mechanic is the same as HIP
so if you are fine with the same speed you dont need a ADS sub config
-
Too bad I personally can't use them since Halo MCC matchmaking is completely on the floor.
-
Very newbish question.
The instructions for downloading the new ST's say to close the XIM Manager and re-open. That doesn't appear to be adding any new ST's. I'm using 20041006 firmware on the Manager and XIM4 itself.
I don't see any other entries for "MCC", "Master Chief", "The ...", etc.
What am I missing?

You need to force download the library. Go to global and then you'll see the option

Progress!
Problem is, the loading bar goes across then reports "Download Corrupted. Please Try Again".
Re-install?
-
That's been reported before by two or three other people, do you use Windows 8.1?
Yes reinstalling should fix it.
-
So when you say we have to use the universal default layout, is that we have to use universal recon or any universal layout?
-
It's the layout that is used in game by default.

I'm having the same problem. If I reinstall where do all my configs go? I don't want to. Re do them all that would suck.
Edit actually mine never says corrupted it just shows the loading bar with no progress.
-
Reinstalling Manager won't affect your Configs. Configs are stored on your XIM4, and when upgrading firmware on your XIM4, choose "Update" rather than "Restore".
-
Wow I'm an idiot. Just realized I unplugged my network cable to update a laptop without drivers. False alarm!
-
Great work with these! Only prob is it takes up 2/3 of the space on xim4. Is there anyway of having MCC on your xim4 without secondary ADS ST for each game?
-
Halo doesn't have ADS ST's so should only be using 5 spots

It's a bit confusing... (I know it's me... ::)) But do I read the last sentence right? I need to use Halo 2 Classic ST for Halo 2 Aniversary campaign?
-
Yes.
-
Thanks
-
If only I could get online and play a game! =( Been wanting to try the new smarties so bad online.
-
After the patch I'm now getting into games! This is so much fun. Mist, the ST's are fantastic!
-
Has anyone come up with a half decent curve for any of the MCC games yet? The STs with linear 1:1 are amazing but it is extremely sluggish trying to turn around quickly.
-
it is extremely sluggish trying to turn around quickly.
Really? I don't feel that at all. It's not CoD, but, I would never describe it as slow. What type of mouse are you using and what DPI?
-
2 weeks and 343 still has not managed to fix there games.
I simply don't understood how they could screw up so badly and not have fixed it by now.
Trying not to use immature obscenities right now but 343 sure is asking for them.
-
I agree. I found out this weekend that it gets much worse when you try to game with a party.
-
i played a total of 5 games matchmaking so far, all with a party of overall 2 people
from those 5 games we had to restart the whole game 3 times after each game
we felt like stopping after those games, too much effort to enjoy one game
how much better does it run in solo mode?
-
Not much better Odin tbh.
I've had just as much luck with a party of 2-3 as I have by myself. The variances of user experiences is interesting though. Real shame, not sure they can sort this in good time.
-
I'm patiently waiting for it to be fixed, it's about all we can do.
-
Hey everyone,
In both in H2A and H2C, my left trigger is mapped to Left Mouse button. When I dual-wield however, my left mouse zooms instead. Help?
Thanks,
Yox
-
Be sure you're using the first in-game button layout. It should be called universal default (recon).
Left bumper picks up a second weapon for dual wield and once dual wielding the left trigger (throw grenade) will fire the weapon on the left. It's not ideal but this is the game is set it up.
