BTB needs this
BTB CTF
BTB KotH
BTB Oddball
BTB Slayer
BTB V.I.P. (It differes from oddball thus qualifies for it's own)
BTB Assault
BTB Neutral Assault
Then do the same for anniversary as well as the current objective playlist.
MLG has a couple of objective games so add a few there.
Also, Reach doesn't have VIP but it does have head hunter and speed flag.
That's close to 30 playlists should all of them see the light of day.

Split 200 people amongst that and realize. You only need 16 people with reasonable connections to get a game going. If any of those playlist happen to have less than that...who cares. Keep it up there anyway. It's not harming anyone or anything. Because that only at most 15 people not populating one of the other playlists.
I'll speak for myself here, but playing against the same amount of people over and over again sounds boring as hell, especially if I should be playing against a full party.
A playlist needs a healthy amount of people to be successful.
If your game hovers above 75k players, and not even 500 plays a certain playlist, then said playlist should either see an overhaul, playlist merge or complete removal.
Of course you should always have the basic options available.

And god forbid if one of those playlist doesn't have the required # of players at that moment in time, you can choose one of the many other BTB specific playlist instead.
Quality of the playlist > quantity of playlists.
I'd rather have a few single playlists that do fairly well over a multitude that are on life support.

PC gets away with having 1,000x more specific playlist than this with populations that don't even come close to what Reach still currently has.
Server Browsers = Every server can be considered it's very own, very specific playlist.
How many servers does a typical PC multiplayer game have? And remember to keep in mind the population of PC multiplayer games isn't even in the same ballpark as something like Halo's population. Halo has far more.
While Halo, and probably other games, could get away with a server browser, it shouldn't replace the MM system entirely.
Should I go into ranked playlists, last thing I want is for random drop in/drop out filled games.
Custom game browser or hell, even the more "social" ones could probably benefit from this but again, it shouldn't come at the cost of removing the MM system entirely.
