BY B IS FOR BRAVO
\nThe next time you log into Halo: The Master Chief Collection, you will be prompted to download the latest content update, which focuses on ranking, matchmaking penalties, stability, as well as game-specific improvements for each title.<\/p>\n

Below, you\u2019ll find a summary of what is included in this\u00a0update:<\/p>\n

RANKING<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Made a variety of improvements to ranking consistency and penalties.
\n\u2022 Resolved an issue that could cause a player to rank down excessively, such as dropping multiple levels after a loss.
\n\u2022 Resolved an issue that caused a player\u2019s rank to appear incorrectly.<\/p>\n

Based on these improvements and updates, we\u2019ll be resetting ranking for Halo 2: Anniversary, and separately, will begin to roll out ranks to additional playlists soon (we\u2019re aiming for the next day or so), starting with the addition of ranking to the Team Slayer and Halo Championship Series playlists. We\u2019ll be actively monitoring the ranking system across these playlists over the next few days to ensure that everything is working properly before adding ranks to additional playlists.<\/p>\n

QUITTING & BETRAYALS<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Added new quit and betrayal penalties to matchmaking:
\n* In ranked playlists, quitting a match is now treated the same as a loss. Quitting is defined as exiting the game in any fashion. If you quit a match, your ranking will be impacted, and this may result in dropping a level.
\n* All quits and betrayals are being tracked automatically, and action is being taken against offending players who commit these offenses more than what is considered normal behavior.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Update the \u201cBoxer\u201d controller layout by switching the \u201cswitch grenade\u201d and \u201cthrow grenade\u201d buttons.<\/p>\n

HALO 2 CLASSIC<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Resolved a hitbox issue where shooting an enemy\u2019s weapon from the front would not cause damage.
\n\u2022 Corrected the matchmaking Team Ball respawn modifier from \u201cInheritance\u201d to \u201cNone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Resolved an issue where the Golf Club object did not appear correctly in Forge.<\/p>\n

ACHIEVEMENTS<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Resolved an issue that caused “The Guardians Are Coming” achievement to not unlock correctly.
\n\u2022 Resolved issues that caused complications with Spartan Ops achievements unlocking.<\/p>\n

UI, STABILITY & MISC.<\/strong>

\n\u2022 Improved Playlist and Campaign Career Stats tracking for Halo 2, Halo 3 & Halo 4.
\n\u2022 Made a variety of significant improvements to stability throughout the title.<\/p>\n
