I wouldn't call it "eye-opening" myself, but it was nice to see it acknowledged and admitted. This wasn't new for 343's Halo- the same stuff happened in Halo 2, 3 and Reach.

The rest of the video was actually insightful in terms of how the player preferences have changed over the years, and I found myself nodding in agreement more than once.

-I was that player in the Halo 2 days that only played with my core group of friends, custom games all the time. Slayer Slayer Slayer.

-I was that player in Halo 3 that started branching into BTB more, until that was ALL I wanted to play in Halo games since. Objective all day err day.

I always saw the other playlists like distractions (with the exception of FFA). Nice for a moment, but took too much away from the other modes (looking at you, infection and griffball) and thought they were better on a rotational schedule like they were in Halo 3.

So I'll say it is nice to see them use the MS number cruncher to focus on the core things Halo fans like these days, which is uber-competitive bro-slayer (not for me) and Massive BTB objective madness (for me!) with a sprinkling of other modes for flavor.

Still plan to borrow or redbox the game the first week it's out, and then I'll go from there, but not bad so far.
