I just want to play Halo 3 and Halo 1. Do I need the entire collection to run Vorpx? And will the Vorpx MCC profile hook into each game?
I tried gamepass but it fails every time. So I guess I’ll need to buy the steam version to try this.
The Game Pass version might be compiled as Windows Store (UWP) app, which can’t be hooked. Not all Game Pass games are, but Halo MCC might.
If Game Pass allows you to select between a moddable .exe and one with anticheat, try the moddable one. vorpX definitely won’t be able to hook the anticheat version. Part of usual anticheat mechanisms is preventing other apps from hooking into games.
The Steam non-anticheat .exe definitely still works. You should be aware though that only Halo 1 is officially supported. I know for sure that Halo Reach also works, but I never tried Halo 3 myself. Individual games in Halo MCC are unfortunately handled in a way that makes it difficult for the vorpX profile to cover potential technical differences between the games. So I can’t guarantee that everything works as expected in all campaigns.
BTW: Make sure to run the game windowed. I just noticed that important things like FOV and other settings might be off if the game in running fullscreen.

Good info! Do you how I can remedy the gamepad losing functionality when I use head tracking? Sticks for 3 seconds each time.
Sounds like the game can’t handle simultaneous gamepad and mouse input. Without DirectVR head tracking, which only works for Halo 1, vorpX emulates a mouse.
To deal with that vorpX comes with a decently feature rich gamepad > mouse/kb mapper built in. You can enable it with the ‘X-Box Gamepad Override’ option on the input page of the menu.
If you’re lucky, a partial override of the sticks will suffice. If not, you probably have to adjust some button mappings.
