343 Industries has updated its launch-day multiplayer matchmaking playlists for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, introducing a number of last-minute tweaks to its previously announced lineup.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection will debut this week with the series-spanning Team Slayer, the eSports-focused Halo Championship Series, 4v4 Halo Team Anniversary, tournament-ready Team Hardcore, and 16-player Big Team Battle, among other featured playlists. 343 notes that it has delayed the launch of a dedicated Halo: Combat Evolved playlist, and will reconfigure it to focus on 2v2 matches in response to player feedback.
Got this straight from here
This kinda sums up how I'm feeling
"Wait...WHAT THE F***???So no 4v4 Blood Gulch? Is that a F***ING JOKE??? Jesus Christ 343. Are you completely out of touch with the massive portion of your fanbase that spent years playing 4v4 Halo CE at LAN parties? WHY IN THE F*** would you only make it only 2v2??? And why in the f*** can't I play just Halo CE, just Halo 2, or just Halo 3? Nobody wants to switch back and forth (and nobody wants to play H4 because it sucks). Talk about the definition of a g*d damn bait and switch. Seriously, please tell me this is some kind of sick joke. If this is for real, I guess I'll cancel my preorder and go back to Call of Duty. This was your chance, 343. This was your chance to win back three generations of gamers who absolutely loved Halo 1, 2, and 3, but have moved to CoD out of necessity. And you're going to alienate a huge portion of them right off the bat. That is so stupid. Why? WHY? It doesn't make any g*d damn sense. Sure, 343, you'll make some cash off of this, and you'll get Halo back in the spotlight for a few months...until all of your loyal, decade-old fans who started to regain their faith (like me) suddenly realize you promised us one thing but gave us a watered-down, neutered disappointment instead. Sad. Just sad. You aren't going to introduce a new generation of gamers to Halo. You're going to introduce them to a jumbled, half-*ssed, pieced together, incoherent group of 3 or 4 games they can't differentiate, and they'll get bored and go back to playing Advanced Warfare within weeks.Incredibly saddening."
