Developer 343 Industries continues to work on Halo: The Master Chief Collection in order to fix the game, but it seems each passing week only introduces new problems. This time, the company has canceled the beta for an upcoming content update.
According to a community blog post, 343 canceled the beta to focus on getting the update out to the public at an earlier date.
"After further evaluation, the team has determined that that final testing for the content update will be completed internally, and we will not be conducting a beta test for the next CU," 343 states. "Also, it was determined that the additional time and work devoted to the beta would’ve actually postponed the public availability of the content update."
The blog post also details additional issues with a potential beta, though 343 assures fans the decision will result in a quicker and more stable update.
"Lastly, there were some added challenges surrounding the CU beta – including an extra series of required updates and rollbacks – that made us take a step back and reexamine the CU beta," they explain. "Ultimately, this plan will allow us to deliver the smoothest possible experience, and ensure that the next content update becomes available as soon as possible."
Halo: The Master Chief Collection came out in November last year, but since that time much of the discussion surrounding the game has been about technical and multiplayer issues. Hopefully the next content update fixes those issues and shifts the discussion back to Halo itself.
