Halo MCC Patch Notes - New Features

• A new option has been added to disable the profanity filter on incoming messages. Disabling the text chat profanity filter will only impact what you see in other players’ messages.
  • Your outgoing messages will still appear filtered from your perspective, even if some other players can read it.
  • By understanding ng what the filter is hiding, you will know what your teammates with the text filter enabled can see and you can communicate during team play more effectively.
• Season 5 content has been added to the game files and will become available early next year when Season 5 begins.
• Tech suits for Halo 3 Spartans are available now in the customization menu.
• Several changes to Halo 4 Squad Battle:
  • Increased respawn time to 10 seconds in Squad Battle objective games.
  • Reworked Dominion objective ordnance in Squad Battle so that each base has a precision rifle, a grenade, and a power weapon drop. This reduces the total number of powerful weapons that will be in play at any given time in this game type.
  • Added a jump-up to the Dominion Bravo base from the red side on the “Outcast” map variant used in Squad Battle.
