One thing missing in the new version compared to the original is that there is no server browser, and there are no tools to help modders. However, Microsoft has no plans to try and block modders. 343 Industries has said that it has plans in the future to help empower the modding community reports PCGamer.

343 Industries senior producer Michael Fahrny wrote, “for modding, we’re very much still dipping our toes in the water. I have some long term goals to empower the modding community more than they already are, but I’m not quite ready to go into details yet on that.”
