343 Industries confirms that it's working to solve a Halo 3 issue in Halo: The Master Chief Collection so that custom map versions can be included in permanent or featured playlists in the multiplayer mode.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection launched back in November of last year and, while developer 343 Industries and Microsoft wanted to delight the millions of Halo fans and Xbox One owners, the end result wasn't all great. Issues with the multiplayer mode, lengthy matchmaking times, and other such problems disappointed quite a lot of fans and not even now does the game offer the best experience.

After confirming that it's going to roll out the biggest update yet for Halo: The Master Chief Collection in the near future, which should hopefully overhaul the matchmaking system, 343 Industries mentions on the official blog that another pesky issue is also going to be resolved soon enough.

A Halo 3 issue is preventing custom maps from entering playlists

This specific problem relates to Halo 3, as it seems that an issue is preventing the studio from adding custom maps into the permanent or featured playlists in the multiplayer mode.

According to 343, this is exactly why recent multiplayer playlists didn't exact work as intended across all of the games included in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

"Many of you have asked why SWAT nor Team Snipers have Halo 3 variants included, and this is due to a Halo 3-specific issue regarding non-default map variants that we’re working to fix. Once resolved, custom map variants (tournament maps, maps with specific on-map weapons, Forge maps, etc.) will be included into permanent and featured playlists," the studio explains.

343 also emphasizes that the feedback shared by fans about the new playlists have been instrumental and that its team will act on all the suggestions one work on the next update is complete in the near future.
