Endelig en Halo: MCC-oppdatering som ikke bare retter feil

På mange måter er det egentlig snakk om den første genuine oppdateringen til spillet, ettersom de utallige patchene som har blitt sluppet tidligere hadde til hensikt å fikse alt som ikke fungerte da Halo: The Master Chief Collection ble sluppet i november i fjor.

Ja, vi er fortsatt litt bitre og grinete over den skandaløse lanseringen, men nå er i det minste alt på stell, og på Halo Waypoint legger utvikler 343 Industries frem framtidsplanene:

Content Updates
We're pleased to say that this month's update has normalized and improved matchmaking, and we're looking forward to delivering additional updates that address top community items and requests. Our next CU, which is on track for delivery in April, will address a variety of issues across the game, including specific improvements to ranking, new quit and betrayal penalties, and more as we prepare to roll out ranks to additional playlists. We'll provide more about what's included as we get closer to the release of the CU. As always, full patch notes will be released once the CU becomes available.

Playlist Updates
The team continues to build out additional experiences, and is also working to update team sizes for select playlists. This evening we've rolled out an update for the Halo: CE playlist that changes the team size from 2-3 players to strictly 2 players, and will be monitoring the playlist for a day or two to ensure that the settings are acting as intended. Based on results and feedback, we'll be looking to update team sizes and player counts across existing and upcoming playlists, including Team Doubles, as we get closer to the next update. Lastly, SWAT and Team Snipers will both make a return into the rotation in the near future, and we'll continue to evaluate playlist data to determine which playlists become permanent additions.

Den konkrete datoen for oppdateringen er ikke klar ennå, men planen er altså lansering i løpet av april. Halo: The Master Chief Collection er kun tilgjengelig til Xbox One.
