Matchmaking improved but not fixed by latest Halo: MCC patch

As promised, developer 343 Industries has issued yet another update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection that the studio claims will improve the shooter compilation's ongoing matchmaking problems, but won't fix them entirely.

"Please note that while this update will improve team balance issues, we do not expect it to fully resolve uneven teams," 343 writes in the update overview. "Our next content update, targeted for early next week, will address team balance." In the meantime, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has seen a few useful tweaks. Now multiplayer games can start as soon as their minimum player requirements are met, which should result in less waiting when searching for a match. 343 Industries also claims to have fixed an issue that generated "false matches," a problem the developer claims wreaked all sorts of havoc with online matchmaking.

A full rundown of the changes included in this most recent update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection can be found at Halo Waypoint. If you'd rather scope things out first hand, the patch will automatically be installed the next time you start the game.
