Finish the flight.
343 has said crossplay, input-based matchmaking and custom game browser will all release for Halo: The Master Chief Collection in 2020.

Here's the list of features planned for release in 2020:
- Crossplay

- Sever Region Selection
- Custom Game Browser
- Per Game Graphics Options
- Per Game Audio Options
- M&K Support for Xbox

343 recently released Halo 3 on PC as part of The Master Chief Collection, and it said it will release the ODST campaign and Halo 4 on PC, as well as ODST Firefight (with updated networking) on both Xbox and PC in 2020.
Other points of note in the update: ODST weapons are coming to Halo 3 - and vice versa. Season 3 launches with ODST, and brings with it new Halo cosmetics.
