I am personally hoping to see the gametype list be more like previous halos where if I wanna play capture the flag I can without going into the objective playlist and HOPING it gets voted for. the only thing that should be voted for is the map itself. have each individual gametype in its own list.

It was never like that in any previous Halo title.
This is literally the first Halo game to have one gametype playlists, and it proved to work horribly.
CTF was the only playlist which ever had a healthy population.
What Halo games were you playing?
Halo 4’s the first to have Gametype-specific Playlists.
Which splits up the community too much.
Which, in turn, means longer search times and less evenly-skilled match-ups.
Actually, I say we consolidate the Playlists even further.
-Big Team Infinity Slayer should mix with Big Team Skirmish.
-Capture the Flag should be mixed into a 5v5 Team Objective Playlist.
The most it should be split (only if the population supports it) is by Base Objective (assault, ctf, etc.) and Neutral Objective (KotH, oddball, extraction, etc.). And that might not even work for all the gametypes.
But even then I think I would prefer splits for different levels of competitiveness and team size before they ever split playlists based on gametype (I’d even be fine with slayer and objective mixed, but that’s more of a personal opinion I think).
I prefer to have the Objective playlists separated. The populations are all individually higher than Team Objective and I always notice a significant reduction in both griefers and quitters when people know exactly what they are getting into when they join a playlist.
343 should have had regularly scheduled rotating playlists like they suggested before launch. Oddball one week, KotH the next, and so on.

as long as they still have the traditional objective grab bag, I would be okay with one other rotational playlist (as long as the population supported it).

Ummmm… yeah it was. MLG had Flag, Hill, Ball, and Slayer in it. But more to the original poster’s point there should be an objective playlist that has Flag, Hill, Ball, and Extraction in it. That Slayer should do more too with adding different weapon layous with the same maps.
