Microsoft has admitted that "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" is currently being plagued by numerous bugs that include errors in the matchmaking mode, Forbes reported. A new update scheduled for Nov. 19 could fix most, if not all, of the bugs in the game.

According to Express, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer issued an apology to Halo gamers that are understandably upset about the problems besetting their favorite game. He tweeted 343 Industries is doing its best to solve the multiplayer bugs.

Executive Producer Dan Ayoub gave his thanks to gamers that bought the "Halo" game. He announced the "Halo" servers show at least a 20 percent increase in connectivity. He warned, however, the adjustments in the "Halo" servers aren't enough. Adjustments will also be needed on the client side that require a content update on the gamers' computer system.

"Halo: Master Chief Collection" was released Nov. 11 and was developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft. The game is currently available for the Xbox One platform.

The collection features "Halo: Combat Evolved" (Halo 1), "Halo 2," "Halo 3" and "Halo 4." All these games, even the older ones, will run at 60 FPS and 1080 screen resolution. Each game will have its own multiplayer mode, as well as DLC packs.

In addition to the four Halo games, a live action series called "Halo: Nightfall" will be introduced. The series is produced by Ridley Scott.

Gamers can access the film through the Extra Menu in the Collection. The series has something to do with the upcoming fifth installment of "Halo" called "Guardians." Thel 'Vadam the Arbiter is also included in the film series.

Gamers that bought the "Halo: Master Chief Collection" will also get beta access to the "Halo: Guardians" game. Beta access to this fifth "Halo" installment is expected to start this December.
