The online troubles for Halo: The Master Chief Collection continue, and now 343 Industries has decided to temporarily reduce the number of multiplayer playlists available.
They have also updated Halo Waypoint with some suggestions on how to improve the online experience, as well as inform players which playlists have been removed:
We are aware that while some users are reporting improved Matchmaking experiences, many users have not seen an improvement. As a result, we are temporarily moving to a limited playlist layout that will allow for players to find games faster.
We'll temporarily be removing the following playlists:
• Team Hardcore
• Rumble Pit
• Halo 4
• SWAT (rotational)
The updated playlist layout will be:
• Team Halo 2: Anniversary
• Halo Championship Series
• Team Slayer
• Big Team Battle
• Halo 2 Classic
• Halo 3
We jumped on last night for a few games, and the waiting times to get into games are still, at times, lengthy. However, when a game is found they tend to be quite stable. Hopefully 343i will be able to turn this situation around quickly and getting Halo: MCC running at full speed sooner rather than later.
