I am pleading with you to consider offering more non-objective playlists for bigger parties (teams of 5-8) - or at least ramping up the incidence of non-objective games appearing as options in Big Team Battle, which seems to me to be frustratingly low these days.
I have a large group of friends I play with on a regular basis. We like to team up against others rather than play amongst ourselves, and we HATE objective games. Squad Slayer and Premium Slayer are okay options - but both have their significant shortcomings (no Armor Lock, no big maps allowing for vehicular combat, heavy focus on DLC, etc.).
We used to play Big Team Battle all the time on Halo 3, and could almost always count on ending up in a Slayer game, occasionally getting stuck with and suffering through a game of Capture the Flag or the like. But with Reach, it seems the incidence of objective games in this playlist is drastically higher. And, even when presented with only objective options and “None of the above” is voted, it’s often the case that the next round of options again only features objective gametypes, which just seems silly.
Please, please consider giving this some due attention in a future Matchmaking update. I have to believe I’m not the only one who feels this way. If there are others among you, please speak up to help make a case for this!
Thanks for your consideration. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait for Title Update, Anniversary, Halo 4, and whatever else you might have in the works now that you’ve taken full control of the Halo Franchise reins!

How are these shortcomings? as for your request, Reach already have lots of slayer only playlists (this was Bungie’s fault as the system actually punishes people playing the objective), we don’t need more playlists which are basically copies of themselves.
Again, it’s my opinion.

I think they should separate the BTSlayer from the BTObjective. It’s now overly flooded with CTF and Assault. I like actual Big Team Slayer. Just my opinion.
Big Team Objective would just be like Team Objective in that it would end with frequent 0-0 draws because no ones interested in the objective because you get more credits kill farming and drawing out the match.
Reach is a broken game please don’t give griefers their own playlist.
The ironic thing is that when griefers run into other better griefers they quit all the while proclaiming how randoms should not quit and give them easy kills when they’re up against far worse odds.
Reach really brought out the worst in the Halo community.

Considering Big Team Battle was heavily weighted to Slayer, Bro Slayer and all that other stuff since launch to around the Spring/Summer, I’d say Objective is a nice breath of fresh air still.
