Daaaamn, thats a lot of hate i've just read! To all the haters: I dont even know where to begin, if you read the bungie updates you will have seen all the reasoning behind the updates to the playlists and the rank reset. It's sound logic to be fair, the number of people playing halo on xbox live is slowly declining, so you reduce the number of playlists to keep them well populated so gamers get quicker games. Bungie spicing up the playlists is nothing new either, get used it and quit whining about it! They'l be another change in a couple of months no doubt. At the end of the day they're not messing with playlists to destroy small minded ignorant gamers lives, they're trying to benefit as many people as possible, and before you retort with messages about how many complaints there are on here, thats because most people are having a great time playing halo with the new update, rather than whinging on here about how bungies somehow personally screwed them! As if some of you are saying u want people fired over this! Grow up, get a life, and if it's really that bad, play something else! Anyways, the new maps are a great addition to matchmaking and the banhammer things always welcome, not too sure about the rankings reset but i'm sure it'l freshen up matchmaking for a while at least. Much appreciation to all the people at certain affinity and bungie :D
