Just read the new announcement on waypoint regarding the updated matchmaking playlist… sad to see no halo 1 playlist. As someone who played it when in the dorms, this brought good memories. Still glad custom is there, and isn’t a game changer since it’s still coming, but sad since this was going to be my first stop. Also, when it finally launches, it will only be 2v2. Was there really big community feedback for just 2v2 for Halo 1? I really don’t get that… why? Not as in “why, dear lord the world is going to end.” No, sorry…too many important things in life to care that much. Just objectively curious.
umm they already announced the playlist for halo 1 and also its not 2v2 its 4v4 objective game types
They said within the bulletin why they aren’t including a dedicated Halo 1 Playlist at launch.
"We are holding on introducing the dedicated Halo: CE playlist. Up until this very day, we’ve been making (and are continuing to make) investments to ensure that Halo: CE’s online/network performance is the best it can be within Halo: The Master Chief Collection…"
They also said that, once the Halo CE playlist launches, they’ll be moving it to 2 v 2 as well.
It’s the freaking CE community’s fault. Instead of just letting people have it 4v4 everyone complained for 2v2. Really sucks.

Well, it seems they respond decently to the community, so let this be my respectful way of saying screw that… 4x4 with the option for a just standard doubles playlist.
well that kinda sucks… Really wanted to play halo CE on a dedicated playlist launch night. And for the idiots saying it should be 2v2. Dude really? I would’ve much rather had 4v4. CE community can suck it for -Yoinking!- the up

Indeed.
As a person who has never played Halo CE online this sucks. However I am glad I will be able to play it with 4v4 in the team slayer gametype. From what I hear though Halo CE was meant for 2v2, and big team battle.
Well I guess I gotta find a doubles partner.
Oh man. I played CE the most of all the halo games, I’m only getting this collection because of CE, I also agree doubles is the best way to play the game.
But I don’t agree with removing the dedicated CE playlist at launch, and then making it only doubles. If there has to be only one playlist I’d rather it be 4v4. It’s much easier to populate a 2v2 custom game if i want to play doubles than to find 8 players if I want to play 4v4.
I guess we we will be doing a lot of quitting in the rotational playlists if CE doesn’t come up.
WAIT, there is no Halo 1 playlist? …
wtf… that’s like 90% why I’m buying Halo: MCC…
And where is that/who are in that ‘‘CE community’’? Why would I want to do 2v2’s in halo 1 with random people… Just no…
Day is ruined… seriously …
edit
I’ve read the statement and I understand it. Though I was really exited to play the Halo 1 playlist on launch… 
But I rather have a great experience then a crappy one. That said, I rather have a dedicated 4v4 playlist…
4v4 is just way more practical at launch than only 2v2, and you can much more easily arrange 2v2 for custom games.
I would like to see a Halo CE 4v4 playlist and a Halo CE Big team Battle playlist
At least it is still there under Team Slayer. If they said it got problems, let them fix it.
o man that sucks, I want them to keep 4v4 and just make a doubles playlist please. A lot people played 2v2 on xbc because that’s what xbc could handle best now that its coming to live we need 4v4 or newer players will not even want to try halo CE this makes me sad and angry please don’t just have a doubles playlist 343i
Halo CE coming to live is why I’m getting MCC I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be another CE disappointment…
They did say they were having an issue with syncing the vehicles, and when I watched them playing Halo CE, There were often people teleporting around everywhere. I hope they fix these issues soon though, because I really want to play Halo CE online with 15 other people.

Yes CE needs 4v4 team slayer/ objective if they must be in the same playlist, FFA, BTB and doubles and I think that would keep a lot of players happy

Hahaha, totally… me and you and a few others must be the few excited to actually play it and spend the majority of time there. Good points at the end.
Really sad, now I’m going to have to vote for CE slayer every time in Team Slayer. Was hoping to be able to avoid that playlist.
I’m actually severely disappointed by this move. The 4v4 CE playlist was going to be one of my first stops on my journey through this game. I was looking forward to finally getting to experience large-scale CE multiplayer because I never had the equipment or friends willing to put in the effort of grouping together a bunch of consoles and TVs to play CE over system link.
Now I’m going to be limited to the occasional game of CE in the cross-game playlists? And on top of that, CE is going to be 2v2 when it finally launches? Seriously?
I feel like there is a disturbing trend developing where 343 has suddenly gone back on their word several times now. It started with the downgrade to the resolution on Halo 2: Anniversary’s campaign. You know what? Fine. I can deal with that. I probably won’t even notice. But then armor customization is severely limited by armor sets. Again, no biggie. I might not like it, but I can deal with it.
And now, after they had released a list of playlists on IGN that included 4v4 CE, and made it clear that those would be the playlists on launch day, now suddenly we’re thrown this new list that excludes a dedicated CE playlist, and limits CE to 2v2 in the future when a playlist rolls out? Now you’re starting to tick me off. The multiplayer I was looking forward to the most is now severely limited in Matchmaking, and I am at the mercy of what everyone else in the lobby votes for. This is a huge blow to my excitement for the multiplayer portion of this collection.
You want to make further improvements before rolling out a dedicated playlist? Fine. But at least leave it at 4v4. I’ve already played more than enough 2v2 on Halo 1 and was so excited to play 4v4 and 8v8 in this game. I am so disappointed by this news, and am slowly losing trust for 343 thanks to them going back on their word numerous times now. I wonder what else is going to suddenly change from what we thought it was before launch? This is not good business practice. Not good at all.
