Since launch Halo 4 has received matchmaking updates every Monday, adding in new and taking away unpopular playlists. That is about to change as 343 Industries has confirmed in the latest Halo Bulletin that these updates will now take place every other week so they can "bestow attention where it’s most needed."

"Overall, this will allow us to provide you with more substantial updates...and allow newly implemented playlists a longer runway to succeed or fail from both a gameplay nuance perspective as well as supplying more data to mine and learn from."

They’re not fooling when they say "substantial updates." 343 plans to add a competitive skill ranking system as seen in previous Halo games next month as well as a free-for-all playlist and a big team objective playlist soon after.  Don’t forget that the Castle Map Pack also comes out next month.
