Here's what you can expect from that huge update.

　　We've released an update to MCC on all platforms.

　　The big draw of this patch, though, is the audio. After the update installs, an option in the "Settings" menu should appear that will let you switch between the original Combat Evolved and Combat Evolved Anniversary audio in multiplayer. This is an exciting upgrade for long-time Halo fans who want to hear the original audio.

　　In addition to the new audio options, Halo: CEA will receive a new spartan customization 3D model viewer, an updated background menu video, and more. The update also resolves a number of community issues, including stabilizing the game, repositioning the HUD, reducing the respawn sound effects in Halo: CE, and more.
