I morges har 343 Industries oppdatert spillelistene i Halo: Master Chief Collection, og viser med det at matchmaking virkelig er på vei tilbake til normalen etter en hel måned med håpløst mye trøbbel. Det viktigste i dagens oppdatering er for det første at alle spillelister som før var 5v5 nå er redusert til 4v4 - med unntak av den rangerte Halo 2: Anniversary-spillelisten, som fortsatt er en blanding av 4v4 og 5v5. For det andre legger dagens oppdatering til Team SWAT som en ny, midlertidig/roterende spilleliste.
Videre kan 343 Industries i dag fortelle at den neste innholdsoppdateringen (patchen) til Halo: Master Chief Collection vil bli lansert tidlig neste uke. Siden matchmakingproblemene nå er så godt som fikset, vil vi anta at det denne gangen er større fokus på generell stabilitet, og ikke minst spillspesifikke feil og mangler.

- SWAT has returned as the featured playlist. It features a variety of game types from Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 2 Classic, and Halo 4, and we’re making additional investments to include Halo 3 in the game type rotation for a future update. As we roll out additional content updates, we’ll be bringing other playlists back into the rotation – these include Halo: CE, Halo 4, Team Hardcore, and future featured playlists, such as Team Doubles, Team Snipers, and more. As we mentioned before launch, we’ll be keeping an eye on voting data and player feedback to determine which playlists stay in the rotation.
- Updated the player count to 4v4 (6 minimum, 8 maximum) for the following playlists:
- Team Slayer
- Halo 2 Classic
- Halo 3
- Halo Championship Series
- SWAT
- Updated voting options across multiple playlists to improve the balance of appearance of BR-start and objective game types.
- Updated the “max party size” for Big Team Battle from 4-6, and the team is working on resolving issues that are affecting parties with 8 players. Once resolved, the max party size will return to 8.
- In a future update, the ranked Halo 2: Anniversary playlist will be moved to 4v4. For now, as the playlist contains a variety of mid-size maps, we’ll be temporarily allowing both 4v4 and 5v5 matches, but have optimized the voting options for this player range. For example, you’ll see less 5v5 Team Slayer BRs on Warlord and more voting options that are catered to the current player counts of 4v4 and 5v5 (8 minimum, 10 maximum). Additionally, you’ll now be able to search as a party of 5. These changes are temporary until we turn ranking online for additional playlists.
Our next content update is scheduled for early next week, and we’ll provide additional details of what’s included in the near future. We thank you for your continued feedback, patience, and support.
