343 Industries has announced that Custom Browser will be soon coming to Halo The Master Chief Collection. This new functionality will allow players to find and join the servers they like. Moreover, it will allow for all the Halo games of the collection to be played on dedicated servers.
As 343 Industries stated:
“With Custom Game Browser, we took time to listen to as much feedback as we could over the years of what players really wanted and brought in as much of that core functionality as we could. This means allowing for games to be played on dedicated servers and allowing players to effectively create their own playlists. These are referred to in-game as “variants” which allow you to create a custom selection of game modes and maps built with custom rotations and repeatable options. We think players will be pleasantly surprised and quite happy with this tool’s feature set when it’s out in the wild. We are very excited to roll it out in the flight first for Halo: Reach and build on it and expand it to more games over time. It’s a very robust tool and over time will come online for all titles in MCC as we have to tinker with and customize it to “play nice” with all of the various game engines and file types each Halo uses.”
This is definitely exciting news for all Halo fans out there. As said, Custom Game Browser will initially be available in Halo Reach. Then, 343 Industries plans to add it to all the other Halo games.
There is currently no ETA on when this feature will go live. However, next week’s Halo MCC flight will support it so that beta players can test it.
Stay tuned for more!

Great news for people who about MP. I’ve moved on from MCC, played through all of the SP campaigns and have since uninstalled it.
Xbox account is just plain old Windows account everyone use on PC since 2012 to login to Windows. What system do you use on your PC that you don’t have MS account?
Don’t mind him, he’s just at every f*king post throwing sh*t like a monkey.
I don’t remember playing Halo3 on the Xbox360 without a Microsoft account online, I don’t see why MCC should be different. And I’m a Linux user that hates Microsoft, but WTF do you want from a Microsoft game? They already let you link the MS account to the Steam one, and the campaign is playable on Linux.
Local account don’t have any kind of settings synchronization. This is just stupid idea. You probably have only one PC and never need to reinstall it if you don’t know about settings synchronization. Are you using your phone without Google account?
Yo John, you need to change the news title is misleading, its sounds like game never had a dedicated servers which is wrong, they are in the game since day 1.
It’s funny how smaller project have proper dedicated servers, chill matchmaking, server browser and ranked system, where in Call of Duty feels like you play on P2P and you are punished by SBMM.
One thing that was so dumb in the Halo games was it always had very customizable fleshed out multiplayer features built in yet there was never any way to host a game publicly like a server browser for random people to join and play with these features.
