With the April 2012 matchmaking update announced, let’s look ahead. What would you like to see in the next matchmaking update, assuming a May 2012 date?
I would like to see those that love AA and Reach rewarded with an expansion of AA and the gameplay they bring to the table.
That would be awesome!

I agree. With regard to May 2012, I’d like to see a more balanced playlist options deliver Vanilla users the original settings as we did make the transition to adapt how we play for that. And by that, I mean the basic settings that shipped with the game. I’m aware all Halo games have always evolved and must by its nature, but to undermine the successes people like myself are able to take away from Vanilla Reach is indeed, a high insult. Granted we’ll see some form of it return in one element or another for future Halo games, Reach right now features Vanilla settings unmodified in one playlist, Team slayer. what is the risk of paying attention to one element of a game while forsaking another? You cannot appease everyone is without a doubt, but you can create a fairly balanced atmosphere of vanilla, T.U., and ZB settings in the overall scheme of things.

Most likely true partner, frustration got the better of me =/ I will edit it and if you could edit your post containing the original, I would greatly appreciate it =)
I’ve actually been designing a gametype that plays to the strengths of Loudouts and AAs. We could try getting people to test that and see their reactions.
Although, gametype sharing will be harder once Bungie gives up their File Sharing.

“The net is truly vast and infinite.”
A revival of the classic playlist with zbns, anniversary and other forge maps from the old playlist to satisfy people who love classic halo like me.
At least 1 playlist with regular Reach TU settings, including bleedthrough, preferably ZB.
ZB objective with bleethrough.
A 1v1 playlist but with MLG/Gamebattle settings instead of the previous crap settings they used in Halo 3’s Head 2 Head.
The updated BTB Heavies maps (including the Rasu update). I actually liked Cragmire, but the updates seem awesome!

Go to mlg.com and discuss that bro. You’ll get a much wider audience that would be willing to listen and support it. As for me, I’d like to see more “ranked” playlists. Maybe a 1v1 and 2v2. with the recent bulletin update showing 343 is moving towards giving a competitive atmosphere, I’m willing to toss out a few things and enjoy multiple segments of ranked segments. but the big thing to consider is this: how much of the current MM setting alterations are pertaining to Halo 4 MM? My opinion is fairly straightforward: I think their prepping us for it…
Lets catch the bus before it leaves the station.
What would you like to see in the May Update?
Invasion custom maps, it is long overdue.
ZB objective, DLC requirements, Guywired’s premium squad battle idea.
Guywired’s premium squad battle playlist as well.
Also A NEW ASYLUM MAP. Seriously that and Jetpack is the longest overdue change. We got one, now how about the other.
My Premium Squad Battle Playlist idea.
And a ton of other REALLY unpopular ideas I’ll just keep to myself, but in general I’d like to see some consolidation that might lead to fewer playlists with higher populations.
Arena classic.
And removal of all Bungie made Forge world.

Did you say that just becuase they will very soon no longer support it in anyway what so ever?
new maps please!
BTB got new maps, TS should get some new maps …
Squad slayer returning along with bleedthrough(melee only) as well as some new BTB heavies maps.
