I thought I would start a new topic about Easy Anti-Cheat. So we can talk about it specifically. I'm hoping more info will be provided by others on how it works. I've never used a game that had it. So I have some questions about it. When its active, does it protect all parts of the game or only the multiplayer. Can we cheat in the campaign and not get banned. Can we only cheat in the campaign with it disabled? Do campaign achievements get disabled when Easy Anti-Cheat is turned off?

Thanks for anyone who answers these questions. I was hoping to get some easy campaign achievements if possible. I did get all the achievements in the XBOX 360 version when it first came out. Didn't really feel like doing it all over again. But I may have to if I want those achievements again.

You can play without EAC enabled which allows the game files to be modded and makes it much easier to train. This option disables online multiplayer for the game and you will NOT get banned.

Using the normal version of Halo:MCC with EAC enabled will most likely cause a ban even with a singleplayer trainer.

In regards to achievements being disabled, you can just test it yourself as the first mission of Reach gives one not so far into the story. If you do not receive one then you know it gets disabled. There was no notification saying achievements would be disabled so I would say they aren't but it's best to test it yourself. I'm waiting for a trainer before I do my playthrough.

Unless I did something wrong when I started the level. I think the achievements might actually get disabled in the campaign with Easy Anti-Cheat turned off. I had played the first level on my XBOX One X and got the achievement for completing it. I then played the 2nd level ONI: Sword Base on my PC with Easy Anti-Cheat turned off and didn't get the achievement for completing it.

Well that's disappointing. Hopefully the CH guys can work around the EAC enabled one and make a trainer for that.

I doubt this'll happen since you can play without eac already, although you can't unlock anything. I doubt CH cares enough to warrant putting time into something like this, just so people can unlock stuff. I think this is one of those times where it'll all be about whether you want serious or fun play. Which will result in playing legit or with mods, but gaining absolutely nothing. On another note, thanks for the trainer I messed around with it a bit.

Hi guys. I have a question and concern about EAC and using Trainer. Lets say I use Trainer with EAC disabled, then go back online officially with EAC enabled and play game without Trainer. My question is, once I go back online without Trainer, is there a ban risk? Thoughts and help appreciated

@Skeet8385: There should not. Trainers only do temporarily modifications to the game unless your progress is in any kind transferred into multiplayer environment. If thats not the case and you restart the game after using the trainer you should be good to go. But in the end the risk is yours as we cannot take control over what the game developers do.

Xbox Achievements and customizations do not unlock when EAC is disabled. Would appreciate a version that works with EAC enabled in single-player only.
