It's just the truth
Look at Halo 4
The core is excellent but it is covered with a dog pile of casual -blam!- that just make it bad
Big maps
Instant Respawn
Care Packages
DMR breaks almost every BTB map
Don't get me wrong
Halo 4 is 10000x better than Reach, but yo, this game can be the Greatest of all time if some competitive player like Bravo was to give the settings for default
Halo 2 was competitive and had a high population
Halo 3 was somewhat competitive and had a high population
Halo Reach was a broken game designed for casuals and had an OK Population
Halo 4 is a good game covered with casual -blam!- and is declining pretty fast in population
Competitive and Balanced Games bring in more people
343, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS
The reason CoD is always on the top is because it is always the same
343, you are not going to get new players by putting stupid gimmicks in Halo.....

Didn't 343 do this to a degree? They let competitive tryhards in MLG playtest their MP and give their feedback for balance changes and stuff.
