Halo: The Master Chief Collection is getting a Custom Game Browser–which is exactly what it sounds like–but the feature is taking longer than expected to release. The feature, which will allow you to search for custom games, was dropped from a recent beta test, and now one of the game’s developers has explained part of the reason why the feature isn’t coming out just yet.
Community director Brian Jarrard said on Twitter that the Custom Game Browser “snowballed” into a “crazy huge, complicated feature.” As such, it’s taking more time than previously thought to get to a state where it’s ready for everyone to use.
“It’s really just snowballed into a crazy huge, complicated feature–way more robust than I ever imagined. I’m eager as well but definitely support the team taking the time needed to make sure v1 is a solid experience,” Jarrard said on Twitter.
