Dear Bungie and community,

There are many people including myself who still play this game on a regular basis. I'm about to have to sell my 360 to pay off some small debts and will be going back to Halo 2 and Counter Strike full time, and would love to see one small update.

Please update matchmaking. The play-lists are fine, the leveling system is fine, but the maps are rather annoying. Shortly before Halo 3 came out you released Tombstone and Desolation, These are great maps, but you also updated the play-lists so these maps came up more than any other map. Well your still loyal fan base starts to get very annoyed to play Tombstone five times in a row in team snipers or Desolation three times in a row in Slayer. Make it so these maps are regularly mixed in with everything else so its not such a drag while playing matchmaking.

Also for maps like Tombstone, please remove SMG start, that can get extremely annoying as there are not a lot of BR spawns on the map.

If you would be willing to put this into consideration as a simple update to make your great game even more fun again then that would be greatly appreciated.

Even with extra brs or a br start the host advantage on tomb stone is huge,i think its just a poor map.
just try and go in to match making again even if it says files are corrupted it some times works.

I love how this went from updating matchmaking to corrupted files, nice thread hi-jacking there evo...

but, to make the map spread more rebalanced, dont you guys think this is needed as a last update for this great game?

The only problem that I had with matchmaking before I moved on to different games was the fact that there seemed to be too many playlists for such a small online population. I always wanted to see them condensed down to make finding matches faster and easier. The maps can sometimes be a pain but I figured if they updated the playlists they would also update the map balancing at the same time fixing both problems.

Oh I just saw this post. I posted a similar thought in the optimatch forum. I also feel there is a need for a playlist update.
