Subject: A Matchmaking Theory

If ZB was added to Team Slayer, the population would hardly change. The vast majority of players select Team Slayer because of its name alone and aren't up to date on recent changes to gameplay. For this reason, the "Vanilla Reach is more popular, look at Team Slayer's population" argument is invalid. Players are attracted to Team Slayer because it's a familiar face, not a foreign and unknown entity like the new Super Slayer.

"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

343 isn't god at their job. We've established this.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

1. Remove TS, rename the arena "team slayer"
2. Combine LD, action sack, and grifball into one playlist
3. Remove all playlists except for MLG, objective, squad, rumble pit, snipers, BTB, and anniversary squad.
4. Make all playlists TU ZB.

Problems solved.

The March Update is retarded. It undid so much good 343 had accomplished.

Super Slayer will fail because it's a carbon copy of Team Slayer with a -blam!-ier TU employed. It's got a stupid name and is replacing a playlist (Squad) that was better in every imaginable way.

Truth.. It's the casual "go to" playlist, you pretty much nailed it saying they wouldn't notice any difference and still continue to play the game as they do now.

Yet another reason why the two week vote on Vanilla or TU was flawed. If I rarely play Halo I'm not going to vote for a gametype I don't recognize/understand; I'm going to vote for what I've seen before.

Also some of the options were retarded. TU Slayer on Sword Base or Slayer DMRs on Asylum and none of the above isn't an option. What do you think I'm going to vote for?
