14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at 343 Industries might be focused on the work required for the launch of Halo 5: Guardians, but they are still paying attention to the older Halo: The Master Chief Collection, aiming to solve all the issues that the community is at the moment reporting.
The studio says that it will deliver an actual full look at the coming tweaks once they are finalized, but that in the meantime, it is ready to share details about the way playlists will be updated, with a focus on the addition of Infection.
343 Industries states, "Thanks to popular demand, Infection will be the next featured playlist in MCC. The playlist will include the following game types: Halo 3: Braaaains, Creeping Death, Save One Bullet, Hide and Seek, Speed Demons; Halo 2: Anniversary: Infection, Cadre; Halo 4: Flood, Hivemind, Last Stand."
With the coming update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Infection will become a featured playlist, while Action Sack will remain in the line-up because the community has shown its devotion to it.
The company is retiring the Halo Championship Series playlist, which no longer serves a clear purpose.
The development team is also planning to make some tweaks to maps and modes in order to improve the overall game experience.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is also getting a rebalanced voting system
The developers have also evaluated reports which talk about certain maps that appear more than they should in the rotation and they are making changes to the mechanics in order to balance things out.
Assembly, which houses more game types than other maps, will be moved lower in terms of weighting to make sure that gamers do not encounter it too much while playing Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
All the tweaks that are still being made to the older titles are a sign that 343 Industries and Microsoft expect it to get a boost in sales when the new chapter in the series arrives, as players try to see the older titles on the Xbox One.
Halo 5: Guardians is set to arrive on October 27 and can only be played on the Microsoft home console.
