It’s no secret that many people hated the old match intro animation from the beta, prompting it to be changed by 343. I was one of them, but I don’t think anyone expected them to just drop in an overly-simplistic animation instead.
So now we have people begging to have the old one back, while others prefer the new one.
I think the main issue with the old one (and by extension, the new one) is that we were seeing the exact same animation every game. For people like myself who didn’t enjoy it, it was made even worse by having to see it EVERY game, whether you win or lose.
Having multiple animations would have diminished the blow when a less savory one came up, but apparently 343 didn’t see this or didn’t have time or something.
That what happens when Devs listen to the loud few
This is actually something Frank said in an interview with GamesRadar+ (The same one where numerous of websites made click-baity articles about his out of context PC comment,) he basically said that him and the team knew people wouldn’t like the dudebro animations and that they’d remove them, but als said whatever they did afterwards (remove/change) would get negative feedback as well. It’s tough trying to please everyone.
I have to say… i do agree… it doesnt bother me too much to complain but maybe something they could implement in a future DLC is varied and random intros, so maybe some walk in and crouch with there weapons up, a couple of loosing one, couple of winning ones, they could even for fun throw in one which is really really really unlikely to get which could be like a one in 1000 chance to get if you win a match then they have party poppers and hats on and if they loose a banner which fallls down, and there heads and stuff… just to add a bit more to it, thats what i would do anyway, just add more to it, i like the idea of it… hell i LOVE the idea of it… but they need to do more with it…
I really liked the animations a lot. Before and after. I would agree that a variety of animations that would cycle randomly would have been cool.
Maybe even a way to select your Spartans intro and outro animations just for fun. It’s obviously nothing big but people like that kind of stuff.
I just hope that the devs listen to people but not all the loud mouth crybabies and ruin the game changing stuff like Destiny did. I really hope they stand their ground and make only necessary changes if any at all.
REQ cards for intro stances and post-game stances would make a lot of sense. Just about over the top animations.

I think an easy solution would be to come up with a few different animations and let the player select which one they’d like to see before or after a match, just like when choosing an assassination animation.

Not necessarily. As I said there’s a variety of ways they could’ve handled the criticism, and they took the less than ideal one.
They could have added the new animation in conjunction with the old one, they could have added a selection menu as others have said, or they could have simply put more effort into the new one.
You can’t please everyone, but I think they could have tried a bit harder.
It would have been cool to see you be able to choose an animation to use when going into a match/finishing a match.
I can live without dudebro animations, but to balance it out include them in req packs for those who wanted them.
