343 Targets Matchmaking Issues in Master Chief Collection Update

343 Industries is rolling out the latest patch for the Master Chief Collection focused on the compilation’s ongoing matchmaking issues.

Through a post on the Halo Waypoint, 343 details all the expected fixes, much of which are targeting the collection’s matchmaking instability, which has been plaguing the games since their collective launch in November. The issues were widespread enough that 343 will be giving away Halo 3: ODST to those that were given trouble.
