Halo 3: ODST
Firefight
- Enemies delivered from dropships will no longer briefly appear on the map before being dropped off.

- The position and behavior of Sentinels stunned by a plasma pistol now appears consistent for all players.

Customization
- Updated the Apocryphal nameplate to match the Evalach’s Lament back accessory.
- Halo: Reach holograms now show the correct customizations to other players who have new customization disabled.
Known Issues
No new known issues have been identified for this update, but the team is tracking two additional known issues from the previous update:
- For some players, the Shared Files in File Share do not appear. The files still exist in File Share and we are investigating a solution.
- One Moa collectible is always present on the mission Floodgate and does not grant progress toward the “Eye Spy” Challenge.
