In line with the upcoming launch of the Xbox One X, "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" (MCC) will fix its three-year old problem involving its multiplayer mode.
Franchise development director Frank O'Connor said that since Xbox is currently implementing changes on its operating system and networking, the multiplayer issue from three years ago will finally be fixed, or at least will be attempted to.
In a blog post in Haloway Point, O'Connor said the fixes will be applied to both the regular Xbox One version and the Xbox One X enhancements. He further stated that the Xbox One MCC fixing the existing "vanilla" issue is the chicken that laid the egg for the Xbox One X enhancement.
Players of the gaming series liked how the "Master Chief Collection" was able to put together all the campaigns on the single player from the first game to fourth one. Yet, this was soon overwhelmed with player outcries concerning the matchmaking on the multiplayer suite, which was seemingly considered "broken."
O'Connor said that he took to heart every angry email about the issue he received. He added that it gave him the feeling that he let fans of the game down because of his failure to properly address the problem. The broken system for the matchmaking was mainly because of the testing phase of the "Master Chief Collection."
Furthermore, O'Connor revealed they did not test for gameplay balance which made the process different from their usual procedures. The game director admitted that this was not the normal way to do testing cycles. This resulted to mistakes on the game scenarios that the development team asked for.
Due to the current advancements in the gaming world, the development team said it was now possible to put the whole "Master Chief Sage" in one console.
Ultimately, O'Connor said one of the driving factors that hailed to fixing the matchmaking problems is that 343 Industries has taken a new light in solving the issues.
