14 DAY TRIAL // After lots of testing and debate with fans, 343 Industries has confirmed that it's going to release the long awaited weapon tuning update for Halo 4's multiplayer on June 3 and even posted a list of all the changes included in the patch.
Halo 4's multiplayer has been a huge success and 343 Industries has delivered lots of updates in order to keep things interesting and balanced.
