Siden lanseringen har den (på papiret) solide samlingen Halo: The Master Chief Collection blitt rammet av diverse bugs, matchmaking-problemer og ustabilitet til stor fortvilelse for mange fans.
343 Industries og Microsoft sier imidlertid at de jobber som gale for å gi spillerne den opplevelsen de har forventet, og den tredje oppdateringen til spillet er nå ute til nedlasting forteller de på Twitter. Filen er på litt over en halv gigabyte for den som måtte lure på det.
Patchen skal ifølge et innlegg på Halo Waypoint forbedre matchmakingen, fikse diverse brukergrensesnitt- og party-relaterte bugs i tillegg til å forbedre stabiliteten i spillet. Nedenfor finner du den komplette listen med forbedringer.
