Halo: The Master Chief Collection has had another patch to try to fix the matchmaking issues with the game. There are many updates to help improve the problems with the game. However, the developer 343 Industries is already hard at work on another patch to fix more of the issues.
Here is the list of updates:
- Made a change to allow for matches to start once minimum player counts are met, allowing for faster matching times.
- Made an update to resolve issues that caused false matches to be created, which resulted in a variety of matchmaking issues, including slow matchmaking and bad session starts.
- Streamlined the process for maintaining party continuity through the matchmaking process.
- Made an update to the high-level matchmaking flow that will reset lobbies after each match. Moving forward, players and party leaders need to press "B" after the post-game-carnage report, and select a playlist for their next match. This flow is consistent with previous Halo titles.
- Improved user experience through removal of non-actionable error messages. This will allow for a more seamless matchmaking flow with less interruption and confusion.
- Improved the post-game experience to fix an issue that could result in a player getting sent to another player’s lobby, rather than returning to the matchmaking screen.

343 just give up.... you no match only bungie could had done a great halo game.....
you might achive it after 343 attemp.... humm
Yeah because Destiny is such a great game.. (lowest rated Bungie game of all time) I am actually glad Bungie don't handle Halo anymore because they would have destroyed it.
I just played a few matches. Matchmaking has become a much more enjoyable experience. Fortunately its 3rd parties handling/fixing MCC while Bungie is focused on Halo 5.
