Okay, I have two major complaints about your play-list update next month.
Firstly, you can't just up and remove big team social completely. Ranked big team was an iffy idea from the start, it failed, even though I still play it quite often, but I can live without it. Big team social, on the other hand, was important to my friends and me, since we often have groups of 6-8 people at my place. If we can't all be on the same team, then it's not really fun to play on-line.
Secondly, the map revisions for Epitaph and Snowbound should be play-tested before they're released on XBL. I know that you've never allowed play-tests on any of your other revisions ("Covies", "Heavy", the new Narrows, etc.), and it really has to stop. Throw in a map-testing play-list for a couple of weeks or something and give EXP to both winners and losers, or double EXP, anything to get people to play it; but there's nothing I hate more than coming into a map with which I think I'm completely familiar and then realizing that all the weapon spawns are different, there are different items and weapons, or other things on which my strategy on the map are based have changed. My friends and I have effectively shortened this happening to one verb: to Bungie. To Bungie something is to completely remove anything that was good, strategic, or fun about something - anything - and replace it with something much less enjoyable.
So far, just in this weekend when we invented the term, we've used "Bungie" well over 77 times with complaints over the game...
Sincerely, and from a long time fan of Marathon, Halo: CE, and Halo 3 (when it was released),
