    The next time you log into Halo 4, you will be prompted to download a title update. This particular title update tackles actual game and gameplay issues, not sandbox tweaks and balances. We have another TU in the works and will continue working on the timing and content of the next one. For now, here is a change list of what was included in today's title update.

    • Implemented general stability improvements
    • Fixed glitch where quickly reloading after firing the Boltshot resulted in an instant reload
    • Fixed glitch where sprinting prior to activating the Hardlight Shield allowed players to move faster
    • Fixed glitch were players could throw a grenade and then immediately sprint afterwards to perform a high velocity grenade
    • Fixed glitch where Mantis could fire more rockets without reloading if the machine gun was fired partway through unleashing the charged missile barrage
    • Fixed issue where DLC was unavailable for other profiles on the same console
    • Fixed issue where DLC disappeared after console reboot
    • Fixed issue where players could not unlock Campaign completion achievements when using a rally point other than Alpha for any mission to finish the Campaign
    • Fixed issue where players were not given credit for completion of a Spartan Ops Episode Difficulty Challenge when completing it through Matchmaking
    • Fixed issue where players with 99 or more Xbox LIVE friends could not get File recommendations
    • Fixed issue where loadout configurations were lost if the game was booted and then powered off before passing the “Press START” screen
    • Fixed issue where attempting to upload large films to the File Share under poor network conditions caused the upload to fail
    • Improved time to load variants with separate profiles
    • Fixed issue where moving a profile from one controller port to another after relaunching the game reset loadout settings
    • Improved consistency of random ordnance navigation marker display
    • Fixed performance issues when launching Halo Waypoint from Halo 4

    We will update everyone when we have more information about the next Halo 4 TU. If you'd like to read more about this TU or the upcoming Matchmaking playlist update, please check out the 12.06 edition of the Halo Bulletin.

    I was wondering the same thing. I did notice in a match on Adrift that the sword didn't de-spawn quite as quickly. Perhaps that was a fix?

    There's a DMR 3 shot glitch? That's a relief, I'd thought I was hallucinating at times.

    what is the boltshot reload glitch? I only played with it in forge, and it looks like even if you have one bullet left in the magazine, you can still use the shotgun mode with full effect

    If you do a charge shot, then hit reload at precisely the right time after firing, you get a near instant reload and can charge shot again incredibly quickly. It's not easy, but considering how powerful the Boltshot is already, it needs to be fixed.

    What's the 3 shot DMR glitch?

    Nothing has made me rage more. Getting killed in less than 2 seconds from across the map.

    Feels like every game is SWAT on Complex.

    How does this glitch work? I've never heard of it. I've gotten killed very fast cross-map a few times, but assumed there was team-shooting involved.

    It's good to know what they actually fixed. It's also funny to hear that the two most 'OP' weapons (read the Waypoint Forums LOL) have bugs involved with them.

    I never even knew about the DMR 3-shot glitch.

    Thanks for posting this info.

    I don't see how a free title update is making Microsoft loose or gain money...

    There is a 4 shot unscoped light rifle kill where 1 scoped shot and 3 unscoped shots kill but that's a weapon damage number balance issue not a glitch and a 2 scoped light rifle shots and a melee will kill(really quickly) but that's a issue with bleed though not a glitch.

    Me and google aren't aware of any 3 shot DMR though.

    But the fixes don't even look like fixes.
    -Haven has been fixed. Weapons are no longer in the floor. (Moved weapons up 2cm in forge so not stuck in floor, Hard work there)
    -Endgame killcams added in some gametypes but reportedly don't work correctly(Adding stuff that has made more things to fix)
    -Game is reportedly smoother. (According to 343i.)
    -An issue with DLC only working on one profile has now been fixed. (Issue with DLC that's the one area you don't want glitches that could effect your revenue)
    -Trying to launch ‘Halo Waypoint’ from Halo 4′s menus no longer crashes your console. (Ok so there might be a few fixes)
    -It is now possible to get the ‘Last Strike’ medal in Matchmaking. (Glad they fixed that game breaking glitch)

    TU brings more players back to or new players into the game and there fixing DLC issues so more people have more incentive to buy DLC and any publicity is good publicity so any chance they get to talk about DLC means more chance that DLC will get sold.

    Microsoft doesn't do anything unless profit is involved or it will add to profit somehow in the future.
