Halo: Reach, one of the biggest titles set to be released this fall, has just received its first update from its development studio, Bungie, which is now available for download on Xbox Live.
Halo: Reach marks the end of the Bungie's involvement in the franchise, but this doesn't mean that the studio won't continue to support it through patches and updates for the extremely popular first person shooter.
The first update has now been released, and Bungie says that it will be the first of many as its team monitors the multiplayer portion of the game almost constantly.
The new patch will be followed up by another small update later this month, either on October 12 or 19, depending on how the testing process unfolds, and will finally deliver
the campaign co-op matchmaking service, which has been demanded for quite some time by Halo: Reach players.
Until then though, the new update that is already available for download on Xbox Live will change up the playlists of the game, tweak the existing maps and balance some of the gameplay issues that were submitted by fans to Bungie using the forums.
The complete change list for the first Halo: Reach update is available at Bungie's own website but be prepared to do a lot of reading as the studio detailed every single new thing with the new patch for the game.
Bungie has also taken action against over
15,000 Halo: Reach cheaters, who were using a special challenge exploit to increase their credit count to astronomical proportions.
Those found abusing the exploit had their credit score reset and received a 1-day credit earning ban.
Halo: Reach is already the most played title on Xbox Live according to the latest charts, so it's great to hear that Bungie is updating the multiplayer experience and balancing out any problems so that everyone will have a great time.
