The update we've all been waiting for is finally here! Adressing not only quitting matches but adding ranking too. Along with an update on the Relic and ODST compensation.

 

There's been an update for the Master Chief Collection which you'll need to download next time you boot up the game. This update adresses matchmaking penalties, ranking, stability and your usual maintenance.

 

We'll start off with the thorn that has been in everyones eyes the last few weeks. Which is...

 

Quitting and betraying:

  • New quit and betrayal penalties have been added to matchmaking:
  • In ranked playlists, quitting a match is now treated the same as a loss. Quitting is defined as exiting the game in any fashion. If you quit a match, your ranking will be impacted, and this may result in dropping a level.
  • All quits and betrayals are being tracked automatically, and action is being taken against offending players who commit these offenses more than what is considered normal behavior.

Next up is what people have been wanting since the beginning. Which is...

 

Ranking:

  • A variety of improvements to ranking consistency and penalties have been made.
  • An issue that could cause a player to rank down excessively, such as dropping multiple levels after a loss has been resolved.
  • An issue that caused a player’s rank to appear incorrectly has been resolved.

Furthermore we have fixes for all Halo titles, parties, Achievements and Misc.

  • Resolved an issue that caused incorrect bullet and grenade collision with an invisible object on the map Derelict.
  • Update the “Boxer” controller layout by switching the “switch grenade” and “throw grenade” buttons.
