Halo: MCC patch tweaks matchmaking (again), out now
For matchmaking specifically, the patch promises to improve search success rates, reduce instances of the "Awaiting Privileges" error, more correctly determine player counts in each playlist, fix an issue where players appeared to be searching in the incorrect "find game" screen, and add a countdown sound effect to the voting timer. The update should improve the network performance of Halo 2: Anniversary, lower the music volume in multiplayer menus and fix stability issues across multiple games in both campaign and multiplayer.
The Master Chief Collection has suffered from matchmaking issues since launch, prompting 343 Industries to dole out compensation in the form of a free month of Xbox Live for early adopters, plus a free 1080p, 60fps Halo 3: ODST campaign due in the spring, and a fresh nameplate and avatar.

At least Microsoft have streamlined the process so it doesn't take months now for patches.

To be honest, big games like Halo are pretty quick in patching issues. If you play smaller scale games, patches take months or don't come at all

What do you mean "now"? Before last generation the game came as-is and there was almost no hope of a fix on any sort of bug. And even in the past 10 years, there have been many major bugs in games that either take a month to patch or never even get addressed. The patching process is huge. They first have to create the patch, QA test it, then send it to Microsoft and have them QA test it, then they have to slowly roll the patch out to users. If this process didn't exist, we'd see a hell of a lot more buggy games and patches.
