A brand-new patch for Halo: The Master Chief Collection is now live and has received a full changelog detailing the many ways through which it overhauls the matchmaking and the party systems, while fixing glitches found in Halo 1 or 2.

Millions of Halo fans from all over the world were ecstatic to see that Microsoft and 343 Industries remastered and brought forth to the Xbox One the Halo: The Master Chief Collection package, which included Halo 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Unfortunately for them, the game was plagued by issues regarding the matchmaking and its other online features, which persisted despite constant updates and patches from 343 Industries.

The latest Content Update for Halo: MCC is now live

Now, the latest and biggest patch ever for Halo: The Master Chief Collection is now available for download on the Xbox Live service for the Xbox One.

The update overhauls the matchmaking system to improve its performance and success rate, while shortening search and time to match durations. Both the matchmaking and the party system have seen stability improvements, so things should be much less prone to failure.

Halo 1 and 2 fixes are also included

Besides overhauling these two essential mechanics, the new content update also implements a few fixes for issues found in Halo 1 (aka Combat Evolved) relating to aim assist, shot registration errors, and user interface inconsistencies. Halo 2 fans should also spot better shot registration, improved stability in the campaign and matchmaking, as well as consistent medal display in the interface.

The brand-new patch for Halo: The Master Chief Collection is now available for download via the Xbox Live online service. The next time you start up the game and are connected to the internet, you should see a prompt asking you to transfer the patch so that you can enjoy the improved experience.
