I have no idea why they removed Anniversary FFA and Anniversary BTB but they should make an update to add them back, plus it’s made the achievement Dive Bomber near to impossible to get.
Anniversary playlists don’t seem to have many people playing them. Slayer had like 200 last night and Firefight had 80ish.
They should bring them back, would make more money too
Anniversary BTB and FFA population had dropped so low hat you could hardly find a game in the playlists.
They did however put all Anniversary and DLC maps in both the BTB and Lone Wolves playlists. The problem is that you need all players to have maps downloaded for them to appear in the voting lobby. I personally have seen about 3 DLC maps come up in the BTB playlist this year and on all occasions no one voted for them.
What they need to do is to make all DLC free for all players and make the playlists DLC required like they did with Social Big Team in Halo 3 to force players to download the content and then we will all see DLC and Anniversary maps come up in all playlists.
