Updates break mods every time but they don't need to. Simply go into the mod folder, find the modinfo.json. Open it with notepad and then find MaxAppVersion. Change the number next to minor to 9999.

That mod should now work with all future updates.

EDIT: Can't post in the Halo forum but I'm not sure where is best for this discussion. I considered putting it in 'help and tips' but idk.

Cesspool or not, Halo players will go to the Halo forum, so it's best there.

I already know that but I've been banned. I'm just trying to help who I can.
Thanks anyway.

Depends on mod and what is changed in the game. If mod code is no longer compatible with latest game version code then it won't work, period. All your change does is prevent the game from disabling mods that are not made for latest version of the game automatically.

Say an update changed all images used by game from JPG to PNG and game can no longer load JPG's, then all mods containing JPG images would break even if someone changed MaxAppVersion.

Definitely, but since the game is no longer supported in any major capacity, it's pretty safe to assume nothing will break. That could change at the drop of a hat, though.
