It's no news that Halo: The Masterchief Collection, 343's remastered versions of all previous Halo titles featuring the chief, has been experience a large number of issues since it's launch in November. It seems that every patch the studio has launched has either not fixed the issues it was supposed to, or caused a number of new issues.


In a recent blog post by 343 studio head Bonnie Ross outlined the companies plans to "apologize" to early adopters and give back to the people who suffered through the many problems the game faced. She issued the following statement.

"This has been a humbling experience and highlighted how we as a studio can – and need – to do better for Xbox fans around the world. We are so grateful to our fans who have stood by our side and we appreciate all of your patience as we worked through these issues. As a token of our appreciation and to thank fans for the continued support and understanding, we will be offering the following items, for free, to anyone who has played Halo: The Master Chief Collection online since launch (11.11.14) through today (12.19.14)."


She goes on to explain the "tokens" in further detail, and you can read the full blog post here.

It seems the developers have acknowledge that the handling of this launch was done poorly and have plans in place to clean up their act for future releases. Are these gifts enough to make you forgive 343 for the month of missed multiplayer action or the constant matchmaking disconnects in story mode? Let us know below.
