Many in this community, as well as others I've followed, have a serious misunderstanding about what it takes to entice new players to come to the product and retain them. The 'old guard' will always be on the edge of burnout and might be the most difficult to retain (guessing). If the 'old guard' would just shut up and move on maybe it would be easier for these communities to become reinvigorated instead of continuing the mouth to mouth pestilence.
343i has done a lot to change Halo in preparation for the future. I believe most of it is good change and I hope they have the balls/ovaries to make even bigger changes. It looks like their competition will be even stronger on XB1.
That being said a couple of places where I felt let down were lack of theatre for campaign and Sp Ops and the rendering services Reach and Halo 3 had. Trading 'in your face game vids' is basically gone except for a few cap card owners.
The Race community took quite a hit too. We still want to race a bit but the make-do game types have been terrible. Even the new mods seem to have difficulty with large parties.
I wish 343i could release most of the DLC maps either heavily discounted or free. The number of people not buying DLC is negatively affecting my custom games nights. The maps aren't so bad people won't play on them, they just don't see the investment as being worth it. The rampant negativity is definitely hurting product sales as well as existing community efforts to enjoy the game.
