The chief element seeing changes is the game's troubled multiplayer mode, which will be shored up with yet more matchmaking improvements.
Party fixes, stat-tracking changes and stability improvements across the game's four campaigns and various multiplayer modes are also included.

Writing in a new Halo Waypoint blog, 343 said that the update will be available to download "within the next few days".
We've lost count of the number of patches that have been released so far - which is a good thing. Although the fact the game is still having problems this far after launch is not.
Microsoft recently announced that it would offer a free month of Xbox Live and the Halo 3: ODST campaign as a free download as an apology for the Master Chief Collection's launch issues.
