Another Halo: The Master Chief Collection Matchmaking Patch Out Now
Halo: The Master Chief Collection got another tune up yesterday, as 343 Industries released a new patch for the title. The focus of this update is, again, matchmaking.
Included with the lengthy list of improvements to help you find a game (and stick with your party) are fixes to achievements that weren’t unlocking properly. You’ll also find stability enhancements, and improvements to specific titles. For instance, Halo 3’s movement input has been tweaked “specifically to resolve a deadzone issue which affected moving in a straight line.”
For those that like to play split-screen, you’ll no longer run the risk of ending up on different teams when matching online. Also, if your player rank was reset unexpectedly, that should be fixed now, too.
Next time you log in to Halo: The Master Chief Collection you’ll be prompted for a title update in order to apply these improvements. You can read the full patch notes on 343 Industries’ website.

Our Take
I continue to be mystified about how some of the items addressed in patches made it to release. There is a lot riding on the Halo 5 multiplayer beta right now, because consumer confidence is shaken.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
