What ever data you needed to collect Microsoft during the launch of Halo 5 Guardians should be good enough to open the gates of game modes. I’m not writing to the “Halo Community” in this post, I’m clearly writing to Microsoft Studios. You wanted to strip away game modes to see what would be most requested by the community and I’m cool with that. That shows focus in areas to increase replayability in game modes.
Halo 5 Guardians has been in the open long enough to implement permanent game modes in the playlist. I want to make this clear I’m not raging, nor going on a rant about this. I’m writing in a clam tone since emotion can be perceived differently on the internet. You’re choking your fan base here with this limited playlist. You’re frustrating the community making some play with others that they don’t want to play with. Casuals and Competitive players don’t mix.
Competitive players have a place here in Halo and competitive play is appreciated in the Halo community. Casuals have a place here as well and are appreciated but mixing those player types is bad blood. I’m happy there are BANS in Halo now to increase the quality of the experience during game play but there are times I wanna quit a match because I end up with players that are not competitive at all. This does cause players to leave in game which creates “The no fun zone” for others.
Release the playlist already to the Halo community so we can choose what level of competitive multiplayer we want to engage in. Its been long enough past launch. Thanks for the content updates. I’m grateful for the free maps but I would have paid for those in a season pass. I hope I get to be sorry I made this post in the very near future. I’m no fool to believe you’ve allowed 100% control to 343 Industries with your baby “The Halo franchise” cause I’m not buying that at all.
343 Industries did a phenomenal job with Halo 4 in all aspects of replayability. You’ve made a point that this franchise can survive with bare minimum content in the multiplayer area. The tears of the community prove that with the rants as well. Open the digital gates already because if you keep choking this community with monthly updates your not gonna have the reaction you’re looking for when it’s released.

PVE- Make it happen already. 12 Vs. AI or 24 Vs AI. Add a arcade scoring system to this.
You get my point Microsoft Studios. You’re making this a hard keep to continue to participate in. That’s not making a lot of us happy and I personally want to continue like I have been since H:CE. I’m not on this band wagon of 343 Industries killing Halo or complaining it’s not like older Halo titles. That’s not me. I’m asking to make the playlist already and separate the casuals from the competitive players so we can dive into causal play arena / competitive arena.
While I’m here I’m requesting old Halo 4 maps to appear. I’m aware forge is available but I’m not asking for forged maps. Pick a few to throw in the mix, surprise us with maps inspired by the Halo universe. Hell, make a few just to show off your creativity at 343 Industries while letting those artists go bananas for the sake of imagnation brought to digital life.
I’m out. Drops the microphone.
