In the last few days of March, 343 Industries revealed what "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" players should expect when the April update rolls out. 

According to the game's official Halo blog site, the April update for "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" contains an improved and normalized matchmaking capacity. It also offers better matches as well as adjusted balance in several team sizes in specific "Halo" playlists, and it will present a lot of improvements in different aspects of the game. 

In the blog post, 343 Industries reported what they plan for the game's content update for the coming month.

It says, "Our next CU, which is on track for delivery in April, will address a variety of issues across the game, including specific improvements to ranking, new quit and betrayal penalties, and more as we prepare to roll out ranks to additional playlists." 

The full patch notes for the April content updates will be available once the game studio makes it live in the coming days. 

On the other hand, fans of "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" can enjoy the return of selected playlists to the game.

"Based on results and feedback, we'll be looking to update team sizes and player counts across existing and upcoming playlists, including Team Doubles, as we get closer to the next update," a representative from 343 Industries said. 

According to reports, Team Snipers and SWAT will be included, but the game studio will be observing the data to find out which of these should be promoted as a permanent inclusion in the game. 

The release of the "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" back in November 2014 was not as smooth sailing as what 343 Industries wanted. It suffered from several bugs, but the game studios managed to fix them by releasing several content updates over the past months. 

There is no exact release date for the April content update for the "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" as of the moment.
