The development team at 343 Industries working on Halo: The Master Chief Collection is continuing to try and improve the overall multiplayer experience that the title is offering, and a new server-side update is designed to re-introduce the SWAT as a featured playlist. At the same time, the company is working hard to re-introduce other player-requested modes.

The official update says that gamers will now be able to experience game types from Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 2 Classic and Halo 4 in SWAT and Halo 3 will be added to the fold in a future update.

The developers add, “As we roll out additional content updates, we’ll be bringing other playlists back into the rotation - these include Halo: CE, Halo 4, Team Hardcore, and future featured playlists, such as Team Doubles, Team Snipers, and more.”

Feedback about Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming from the community will determine which ones receive the most attention and get added first.

343 Industries is also announcing that the player count for Team Slayer, Halo 2 Classic, Halo 3, and Halo Championship Series has been updated to 4 versus 4, which means at least 6 players and 8 at the most can take part.

There are also plans to move the ranked version of the Halo 2: Anniversary playlist to the 4 versus 4 standard, but at the moment games can also engage in five versus five matches.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is still not up to standard

The new title in the Halo series was in rough shape when it launched on November 11, and it seems that despite the efforts of 343 Industries, the game is still not up to the standard of the community.

The studio says that “Our next content update is scheduled for early next week, and we’ll provide additional details of what’s included in the near future. We thank you for your continued feedback, patience, and support.”

Halo: The Master Chief Collection introduces updated versions of the core four titles in the series, and the 343 Industries team has suggested that some extra content will be offered to players as a reward for sticking with the game despite its issues.

Those who picked up the package can also get into the beta stage for Halo 5: Guardians, which is set to be launched on December 29 and will run for three weeks.

The new Master Chief title will be offered only on the Xbox One in the fall of 2015.
