343 Industries has just announced on Halo Waypoint that Halo 3: ODST and the remake of Halo 2′s Relic map will be available for Halo: The Master Chief Collection in May, when they land as part of the next content update.


The announcement came as part of the summary for the April update, which is now available to download and weighs in at 1.6GB. This latest patch brings general gameplay and UI stability improvements across all games, and new ranked playlists as well. Here's a summary of the changes:

RANKING
Made a variety of improvements to ranking consistency and penalties.
Resolved an issue that could cause a player to rank down excessively, such as dropping multiple levels after a loss.
Resolved an issue that caused a player's rank to appear incorrectly.
Based on these improvements and updates, we'll be resetting ranking for Halo 2: Anniversary, and separately, will begin to roll out ranks to additional playlists soon (we're aiming for the next day or so), starting with the addition of ranking to the Team Slayer and Halo Championship Series playlists. We'll be actively monitoring the ranking system across these playlists over the next few days to ensure that everything is working properly before adding ranks to additional playlists.

QUITTING & BETRAYALS
Added new quit and betrayal penalties to matchmaking:
In ranked playlists, quitting a match is now treated the same as a loss. Quitting is defined as exiting the game in any fashion. If you quit a match, your ranking will be impacted, and this may result in dropping a level.
All quits and betrayals are being tracked automatically, and action is being taken against offending players who commit these offenses more than what is considered normal behavior.

HALO: CE
Resolved an issue that was causing off-host players to deal more damage than the host in peer-to-peer custom games.
Updated Derelict to include the Rocket Launcher when selecting the "Classic" weapon set.
Made improvements to vehicle weapon accuracy.
Resolved an issue that caused incorrect bullet and grenade collision with an invisible object on the map Derelict.
Update the "Boxer" controller layout by switching the "switch grenade" and "throw grenade" buttons.


HALO 2 CLASSIC
Resolved a hitbox issue where shooting an enemy's weapon from the front would not cause damage.
Corrected the matchmaking Team Ball respawn modifier from "Inheritance" to "None."

HALO 3
Updated Halo 3 Forge to include editing for all game types.
Made significant improvements to Halo 3 audio, specifically in regards to weapon fire and sound effects.
Made improvements to Halo 3 multiplayer networking stability.
Made improvements to Halo 3's controller "deadzones."
Resolved issues that were causing Halo 3 multiplayer stats to not track correctly.
Resolved lighting and shading issues occurring on the "Sandbox" multiplayer map.
Resolved an issue where the "Begins with a Single Step" achievement did not unlock correctly.
Resolved an issue where the Golf Club object did not appear correctly in Forge.

HALO 4

PARTIES

Resolved an issue where a player may not hear another player via voice chat after completing a game.
Improved party functionality, specifically in regards to game invites and joinable states.
Increased the speed at which the roster populates with Xbox Live friends after completing a game.
Resolved an issue where players could get stuck on the "Leaving Matchmaking" screen for longer than usual.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Resolved issues that caused complications with Spartan Ops achievements unlocking.

UI, STABILITY & MISC.
Made a variety of improvements to UI throughout the title, specifically in regards to notification messages and stability.
Improved Playlist and Campaign Career Stats tracking for Halo 2, Halo 3 & Halo 4.
Made a variety of significant improvements to stability throughout the title.

According to 343i more details regarding the Xbox One version of Halo 3: ODST and the Anniversary remaster of Halo 2′s Relic map will be revealed closer to launch.

I literally bought MCC this morning and what I have played so far I have really enjoyed. I have never played ODST so i'm looking forward to it. But I like the Relic map on Halo 2 so I'm happy with the new content being added.

The shit is so dead, I just hope that they are setup for a great connection for everyone who decide to play over the weeks this update comes out. I really, really want to play Sidewinder, or Halo 1 in general. Having to choose between every game every match is fucked.

 

[CM Punk]

Not even hyped.
Dumb ass playlists and penalties for betraying? The only penalty should be the ability to boot. If you quit, that's that. You quit, it's a loss, nothing more, nothing less.
343 is so fucking lame.
