To play an MCC campaign online, invite your friend from the main-menu Roster, then choose Campaigns and start a campaign or mission. For local campaign split-screen, use an Xbox with a controller for each player; MCC does not support split-screen on PC. Campaign co-op cannot currently be played cross-platform between PC and Xbox.
How to start an online campaign with a friend
-
Make sure each player owns or has access to Halo: The Master Chief Collection and has an Xbox network account. Add each other as Xbox network friends if needed.

Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Can PC and Xbox players play a campaign together?
No. MCC supports cross-play in some online modes, but Halo Support says Campaign and Campaign Playlists currently cannot use cross-play. A PC player and an Xbox player therefore cannot join the same MCC campaign session. PC supports campaign co-op with friends over the Xbox network, but it does not support local split-screen.
Campaign co-op player limits
| Campaign | Maximum co-op players |
|---|---|
| Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary | 2 |
| Halo 2 Anniversary | 2 |
| Halo 3 | 4 |
| Halo 3: ODST | 4 |
| Halo: Reach | 4 |
| Halo 4 | 4 |
These are campaign co-op caps published by Halo Support. For local split-screen campaign play, the limit is two players on Xbox, regardless of a title’s higher online co-op cap.
