343 Industries has gone ahead and shared some stats gathered from January's Halo 5 multiplayer beta and has also provided an update on the future of The Master Chief Collection, which still needs some stability updates and fixes for multiplayer.
First up, during the Halo 5 beta, there were more than six million sniper kills and 1.6 million rocket launcher kills. There are a few more notes, detailing top matches and a few other things, which you can see in full on Halo Waypoint.
As far as The Master Chief Collection goes, the next update is now complete and will be pushed out soon, improving stability and hopefully fixing matchmaking once and for all.
A new playlist is also coming to the game's multiplayer called ‘Team Ball', this will be a collection of Team Oddball and Ricochet variants from across all four Halo games in the collection.
SWAT and Sniper playlists may also come back in to rotation soon and may even become permanent additions to the multiplayer following the popularity.

KitGuru Says: The Halo Master Chief Collection should not have launched in the state it was in. Hopefully after this patch the game will be up and running the way it should and then 343 can focus on Halo 5 and maybe even Anniversary editions of Halo 3, ODST and Reach.
Halo without Bungie is never “fixed”, just slightly less broken
you say that tho as bungie has proven itself lately. Frankly Destiny has put a forever deep scar on the Bungie name, and I’m ashamed to say i bought it because of their name. 343 has done a good job with the halo franchise so far, true they are no bungie, back in the day of 1-3 but they are keeping true to the franchise.
Are you having a giraffe? In what way have they done a good job?
We’re around 110 days since launch and we STILL experience:
– 5 v 3 games
– Matchmaking system that pairs up level 1s and level 50s
– Games ending when the host quits
– Broken hit detection in Halo 2
– No medals in Halo 3 are recorded
– No ability to change weapon starts or respawn points from default on Halo 3
– Delayed matchmaking process
– Only 1 (broken) matchmaking system
– Random 60-second respawn penalties in H2A
– Oh, and the “play a game 3 months after your first game” achievement is still glitched. Hilarious really
Over 3 months and still not fixed. The game is a complete joke.
It’s not the same Bungie that made Halo. A lot of different people. Creating 343 kind of split them cause some went to 343. So 343 and bungie each have some older bungie people and hired new people as well.
