: It's been proven time and again since Reach. If a playlist is created that
: sounds like it is full of l33t players, it will not attract most players.
: Not even l33t players will go in it. An Arena playlist in Halo 5 will be
: the fastest de-populated playlist in Halo history. It's my opinion based
: on what I've observed and quite frankly, expected.

But isn't that the point also, to attract classic players who don't like change into a playlist or area of yesteryear? how would that cause an opposite effect?

I'm fine with the way Halo plays now, maybe because I never had allot of time with Halo's 1 and 2 multiplayer-wise and grew up playing 3-on, but I really don't want to adapt a playstyle I'm not too familiar with because a small group refused to change and want to relive the old days.

I'll admit that Bungie and 343i should've done more to attract the older pre-Halo 3 crowd but I don't feel that changing everything back "to the roots" will help things either.
