— John Junyszek (@Unyshek) October 30, 2020Additionally, Halo: Reach's Firefight and Multiplayer modes have also been added to the flight's Crossplay content. This means that you, as a PC player, can now play Halo: Reach with people who are using the Xbox version of the Master Chief Collection (MCC) and vice versa. If 343 Industries is able to perfect it, Crossplay will be huge for the future of the MCC, so make sure you help them test it out if you're a Halo Insider in the flight.
If you haven't signed up for the Halo Insider Program yet, we highly recommend that you do. You'll most likely be able to participate in testing out future Halo 4 flights, and the process of signing up is both easy and free. Therefore, there's really no reason not to sign up. After all, why not help test out the MCC on PC while waiting for Halo Infinite?
Halo 4 is expected to cost $10 when it releases on Steam and the Windows 10 Store. If you don't have any of the games on the MCC and want to get them all, you can do so for the excellent price of $40. The full MCC is available on Xbox as well if you prefer console.

— Halo (@Halo) November 17, 2020On top of Halo 4, both crossplay and input-based matchmaking have been added to the MCC as well. Both of these features have been highly-anticipated by the community; crossplay allows Xbox and PC players to play with each other, while input-based matchmaking allows players using either controller or mouse and keyboard to choose to be matched with other players using those same inputs.
Halo 4 was the last game that 343 Industries had left to bring to PC, and now that it's here, it's cool to think about how much of a comeback story the MCC as a whole has made over the years ever since its disasterous Xbox One launch in 2014. Will you be playing Halo 4 on PC? Let us know. If you're craving some Halo action while you wait for Halo Infinite to release, Halo 4 and the other MCC games are a superb way to get your fill of the space opera shooter.
