Halo: The Master Chief Collection multiplayer playlists limited

4.7
343 Industries has temporarily reduced the number of online multiplayer playlists as part of its continued efforts to fix the matchmaking issues in Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

The studio advised players on the official Halo Waypoint blog that it was taking the temporary measure to help players find games faster.

The following playlists have been removed for the time being:

Team Hardcore
Rumble Pit
Halo 4
SWAT (rotational)

This leaves the following six playlists remaining:

Team Halo 2: Anniversary
Halo Championship Series
Team Slayer
Big Team Battle
Halo 2 Classic
Halo 3

"This concentrated playlist layout will allow players to get into matches faster, and improve overall match times," 343 states in its blog.

The studio acknowledges, however, that this is by no means a solution, and it continues to work on completely fixing matchmaking issues. "While we anticipate that concentrating our players into fewer playlists will have an effect on match times, it will not solve all Matchmaking issues, it explains.

"We are currently investigating CUs and server side tweaks over the next week to address matchmaking issues."

It also offers the following tip for players still experiencing long wait times: "Back-end data is showing that the majority of successful Matchmaking matches are found within 2-4 minutes of searching.

"When searching, if you do not find a match within 5 minutes, please return to lobby and restart the search, as this will reset the search parameters and increase the likelihood of finding a match within the aforementioned range."

TechLife I don't have the game, but I'd just like to say people should be patient. When has a company released multiple games into one like this? It's a new venture that will have bugs but once fixed it will be great.


I agree with you on this. You have a good point about being patient!


I disagree they should have had all of these bugs and glitches fixed from the start. I don't care if 343 has to delay the game for a few more months or a year or 2 as long as the game is well tested and has very little to no bugs then I'm fine with the game and get my money's worth. I don't know about you but I find these matchmaking issues to be unacceptable and 343 industries should've had all these issues handled before the game's
release.


I couldn't agree with you more Halo MCC will go down in history as the most broken game ever shipped I'm honestly not even getting halo 5 due to this **** up I don't expect them to do any better with that game either


How would they have fixed this kind of thing by launch? The only reason there are matchmaking issues is because of the amount of people trying to play. There is no way to test that out before launch. How about this do the campaigns first and then once they are done fixing this you can play multiplayer.

Knowing that this is a bundle of previous Halo games, it should have been previously known that some game modes would be cut due to limitations of memory space.

OklahomaCityThunder This game is so frustrating to me... I haven't still been able to play a matchmaking game even with the removed playlists..


I managed to get into one game, and it was a 6v2.
It's embarrassing how often developers are releasing broken games and just patching them after the fact.


You act like Game Developers are doing this on purpose... No one knows about networking errors until they pop up.

Its good that they deleted some playlists to cut down search times but hopefully the real patch comes to use within the next few days.
