<p id="wQIfzl">On Thursday (<a href="https://kotaku.com/halo-the-master-chief-collection-is-getting-a-match-c-1829572936">via Kotaku</a>), Brian Jarrard, the 343 Industries community director, told players he&#8217;d seen a work-in-progress of &#8220;a &#8216;mix tape&#8217; style feature for MCC matchmaking.&#8221; That was followed Friday with an off-screen shot of the game&#8217;s Match Composer screen and further info about its options.</p>

<p id="LOTueI">Mixtape matchmaking would be especially useful to <em>The Master Chief Collection </em>because it spans four different games in the Halo series, providing more eras and maps than the typical multiplayer shooter. Players <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/77mbib/mixtape_matchmaking_and_how_it_could_benefit_halo/">suggested adopting it a year ago</a>, noting that it would be a big assist for those looking for underplayed playlists or games within the collection. </p>

Among many other features, it delivered Xbox One X enhancements (for 4K resolution and HDR output) to its four remastered games, plus the <em>Halo 3: ODST</em><em> </em>campaign. <em>The Master Chief Collection</em> was also <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/8/30/17800128/xbox-game-pass-games-september-2018-halo-master-chief-collection-quantum-break-onrush-xbox-one">added to the Xbox Game Pass subscription library last month</a>.</p>
