SO, what has happened from my point of view is this. 343 have Got rid of several of the most fun playlists despite the lack of dedicated servers. They have introduced new rules into loved games changing them up and putting off a massive part of the audience. They have rendered DLC that cost a lot of money completely worthless and make achievements unattainable. So either they dun stupid or they are trying to push Halo4 as hard as possible by making reach horrible. Either way, bad 343, bad. I will not be surprised when the halo3 pop. is larger than the reach pop. in a few weeks. IMO they should leave halo alone because they will always be seen as a massive let-down after the excellent service and gameplay Bungie provided.
