343 Industries has published its final development blog of 2020 on Halo: The Master Chief Collection, highlighting that it's "just getting started" with its plans for the game as it moves into next year.
We don't know everything about what 343 is planning for the MCC in 2021 just yet (it says there's a "ton more" to share), but the team has teased that at least 5 more Seasons and Forge items are on the way, along with Mod support - again, 343 says it'll share more details on Mods and how they'll work next year.
Here's a brief overview of some of the features in the works for the MCC:

Can't knock them for their commitment. I'll be interested to see how much space this thing takes up when they're finally done with it!
I suppose it’s nice what they doing.
I would rather have every single bit of resource on Infinite for the series consoles.
The Master Cheif Collection is one the best games ever..
To be honest, one thing I'd really like is for the game to not skip the first two levels of Halo 2 when in co-op. Been an issue longer than it should have been.
I love The Master Chief Collection, just finished a Halo Heroic campaign playlist run on my Philips ambilight tv.
Great experience, great collection.
@Dezzy70 Can't have too many cooks in the kitchen, or you'll end up getting a mess.
Really should be working on infinite.
Sounds good. Hopefully we’ll see it getting a rerelease because I’d like to pick up a copy
I'm really happy with the things they've done with MCC. My hope is that they add 4 player online co-op for CE and 2, and they add 4 player co-op split screen for all titles.
And my only complaint is really the state of Halo CE with the original graphics. It's a butchered version (due in part to 343i's orginal butchering of every title they touched). And it really needs fixing.
@Dezzy70 throwing more people at a project that has a management problem will make things worse, not better.
But there’s already FoV sliders on the console version?
@notleks_ I think they were just using that as an example
They keep adding stuff & eating up more & more of my hard drive. Lol.
But MCC is pretty awesome though.
Even though it's not gonna be part of MCC, can't wait for the standalone PC port of Halo 5.
Besides mod support, which I'd like to see more than ever than just doing it the hard way, what more can they even do with this game? I get it, the possibilities are endless, but what more is there? New story DLC? New maps., new guns, HALO 5 port? (I don't see the point in that one to be honest) The lost armors that never came to Reach? Maybe reliving some old demos?Or maybe finally having Global Battle?
