November 10, 2014 by Jacob Saylor

Game modes and matchmaking have been shifted around.

The Master Chief Collection, a remastered version of the original trilogy plus Halo 4, recently came out. With it came questions of how matchmaking would work across games. Apparently, The Master Chief Collection utilizes Halo 2's matchmaking formulas, and fans are pretty happy to hear this.
