now in the latest community update, it reads like this: **“If you’re thinking that the playlist count is growing beyond the original parameters that were set, you’re absolutely right. For now, the large majority of these playlists are quite healthy population-wise, but a time will come where we need to make some tough decisions about what stays and what goes.”**Now, yes there should be a limit to playlists, especially for a game made of four games, but i feel like the limit you guys have set is too low. Currently there are 13 playlists. I think 16 playlists should be maximum. Right now, the population clearly isn’t as good as it should’ve been because of the ruined launch. But that’s not what this thread is about. Dont worry about posting here 343, we won’t bash you on this. However, better playlists could help a lot in bringing the population up. The population is okay now, but when i look into the playlists, they’re almost all competitive and not just social fun. Ranks or no ranks don’t change this imo. Action sack was the first great step forward, as its so many people’s favorite playlists, and offers diversity and fun not found in many other playlists. If you continue this trend, you will hopefully eventually please and satisfy the community in the multiplayer department.These are my plans of action.
Remove HCS (HCS is almost done anyway and offers no diversity except 3 maps)
Keep Halo CE
Keep Halo 2 Classic
Keep Halo 2a
Keep Halo 3
Keep Halo 4
Keep Team Slayer
Keep BTB
Keep Action Sack
Keep Rumble Pit
Keep Team Doubles
Keep Swat
Keep Snipers
Keep Hardcore (I wouldn’t mind if you removed it, and it is seen at the bottom of the population playlist ranking, however keep it if possible)
Add Multiteam
Add Infection
Add Halo 3 Hardcore
Oh yeah, and add grifball and rocket race into action sack plz
And viola, you have 16 playlists if nothing changes from this list.
MY LOGIC FOR NOT HAVING TEAM OBJECTIVE IS THAT MULTI-TEAM IS MOSTLY ASSOCIATED WITH OBJECTIVE.
I cringed when i saw that they would be making tough decisions of removing playlists. I am open to feedback to improve this list by anyone. Also there will be no need for rotational playlists if we have all these permanent
I like the list you have here, but I feel like grifball and infection should just all be in the action sack playlist. Considering action sack you put that in the list twice 
oh oops, haha sorry about that haha. Ya, i wont mind if grifball is in action sack, but i feel like infection deserves its own playlist

More like in rotation with it. If they are in action sack itself. Then all the unique game types will never be voted on. Like for example paint ball and the like.
Plus I thought it was stated in a community update a few months back that they can only support 14 playlist tops.

I don’t like that. This game has cross playlists, so this isn’t much out of the dorm of other halo games, which by the way have had more playlists than mcc. Plus, i dont see the huge harm if they were to push that number up by two. Also do you have a link to the community update
Need H3 harcore playlist or i will be one less unique player fo rmany of the other playlists as well
also remove Halo 4 from doubles and snipers and fix voting tie breakers.

No way Multi Team, Action sack and infection are permanent playlists. They dont hold enough people. I mean if 343 is considering removing, Swat or Snipers then there is no way in hell AS, infection or multi team stays
16 is a little too much at least stay below 15
^^Infection wont hold enough people?? Are you joking or something… its a very popular game type, it would easily hold more than “team hardcore”, so would action sack.
Also you forgot BTB.
Healthy Population? WELL NOW…
Rarely I can find a match of BTB or Team Doubles. Just recently I played a few games of Classic Halo 2 and ONE MATCH of Halo CE. Now I can barely find games in Team Slayer.
If I am lucky I come across the same (not even twenty) players!
343, you must be referring to the old Halo games, because they clearly have players online. Besides MCC doesn’t have a population counter so how could you tell if there was a healthy population? This forum has more people here than in the actual game. Put a population counter in to disprove my point, please.
Cue the flawless replies. If it works for you, go on, INVITE ME AND SHOW ME.

I agree, the playlists i have put are the most successful ones i think, but others can disagree.

I think thats a bug with the actual game, you can see halo mcc commonly on the top 8 played xbox live games. This is by no means good standards for a typical halo game, but i think the playlists i have listed could put people back interested into the game since there would be more and better variety
The game isnt even a year old and they are already shutting down servers wow

K, i’ve added halo 3 hardcore in. I removed objective cuz you have a really valid point there
I would really like to know what they consider to be a “healthy population”

Me 2
honestly, it would be easier to have playlists like we do on, say, Halo reach or 4, then have matchmaking search parameters (Ala Halo Reach’s language, locale and such) that dictate what games you do and don’t want to see in options and get matched with similar players. If I don’t want to play H2, I can still get options for the remaining three games. Then you don’t even need that many playlists.
Team Slayer
MLG/ whatever ‘competitive’ playlist you want
Big Team
Objective (6v6 so we get dominion)
Infection
Action Sack
Snipars
SWAT
Multi Team
Double Team
Done.
