Variants

since every mode has its own plays list does matchmaking even supprot variants

From what I have gathered, probably not. But since the game is essentially an install, they can make major updates, and as such, they could probably easily change this. Of course, this method does have its benefits.

MY 2 cents.

well i mean you cant have a mode like rumble pit or action sack with 4-5+ modes as indiviudal playlists it would make too many

I know, and the people asking for an “MLG” playlist don’t even realize if it did come, it would be one single game type. Hardly what they’d expect im sure. But like I said, this could be changed if they really wanted. Most likely.

The community of Halo has changed a lot. I remember Halo 2, when the majority of games played were custom games. Back then people friended each other more readily and made random games like swat, zombies, president and other game types. These games were later added to matchmaking, because of their popularity amongst custom games. I still remember this game type called ‘strong hold’ or something like that. It was mostly played on ascension. All these game types are now VIP, Infection/Flood, swat, and Invasion. I remember some Halo 3 maps, where people used forge to make a sort of Mario Kart game type. What needs to happen is the Halo community needs to get creative again, so the people at 343 can see what we are playing and act accordingly as they always have. Well I guess it was Bungie back then, but I doubt 343 will stop continuing that tradition.
