As well all know, Halo is a very diverse game. There is opinions good and bad about every little option in the game. If a gametype you don’t like exists, chances are, there’s a plethora of other people who enjoy it.
Instead of simply arguing points and trying to change things that are already implemented, why not try to implement something else that fits what your game style is. I say we agree to disagree, and simply crusade for our own playlists.
I’m by no means a fan of AAs, bloom, or non-pickup powerups. A lot of people are, so instead of putting them down and trying to remove them, why can’t there be a playlist implemented for the classic halo style? Yes, I understand there are custom games, but I want to be able to play the way I want and rank up from it. 343 has done a great job with this in Reach by adding ZB and classic game mode playlists. If we all have a playlist we want to play, then we won;t have to bash and complain about every little thing we don’t like.
OPTIONS FTW!
Using custom options as an excuse to -Yoink- up the core game is a HUGE mistake.
The goal should be a core, default game that everyone can enjoy.
The goal should be a game that everyone enjoys. If there is a playlist that caters to what you like, than I don’t see the issue co-existing.

1 playlist can’t satisfy the 500k people that want halo 4 to be like classic halo.

No.

The issue is having one playlist to play is boring as hell.

And yet the playlists in reach that are most like classic gameplay are most lacking in population…
Think of it like this.
Competitive
Social
Classic
Community
Each section could have multiple playlists. It wouldn’t be just one. Think Objective, Slayer, BTB, FFA, any gametype really, with a classic version.
Is that really such a huge issue?

That’s not feasible. There’s only so much population to go around.
What if there was a new option called classic where it has the same play lists BTB, Snipers, Living Dead, ETC. With the classic way wouldn’t that solve the problem?

The game is not even out yet. The population will be multiplied on release. If the game released with a lot of options, they can plan accordingly which playlists to keep and which to drop off. I’m suggesting a way for everyone to win here.

Reach is horrible and most people left it before these playlists were added. Plus people aren’t going to play the same playlist and even stay on the game if the game as a whole is horrible.
Well that’s what we like to call an “opinion”. Everybody has one. I have a few friends who left Reach b/c they hated it, and now sign on every day to play MLG and ZB or Super-Slayer.
They came back to Halo because they had an option they didn;t have before, to play the game the way they wanted to play.
Understand, I don’t like AAs. I hate them. I hate bloom, I hate recoil, I hate loadout options. It’s not Halo to me, that is my own personal opinion. I do embrace it as it comes though.
I do however don’t mind if all of that exists, so long as I have a few playlists that do not involve them. I can still enjoy Halo 4, but with the gameplay style that stays true to the classic Halo games. If my classic playlists exist, then I couldn’t care less about what’s going on in the other ones, I’d simply ignore them, and have fun.

By the time they came around to fix the Arena playlist, every Halo player that liked the Ranked Slayer from Halo 3 already left or went to MLG. Therefore the Arena numbers don’t look as good as they could have been.
All i remember is that the Halo 3 player counts in all playlists were INCREDIBLE even while CoD 4 was gaining momentum. Halo Reach’s numbers don’t mean -Yoink- since the game was just not as good as the previous titles.

I agree 100%
Now what if they had those fixes and implementations BEFORE launch?
That’s what I’m trying to get at. Nobody would leave the series, b/c what they want would be right there for them in the beginning!
