Lemmie guess, you want Sprint gone too right?

This is exactly what I'm talking about, your apart of the loud majority that doesn't like change. thats fine though since you got the MCC collection you can stagnate there for the rest of the XBO's lifecycle.

But why ruin Halo 5 with the adamant need of non-change? I for one wants to see Halo go forward even if it means trying some ideas that modern shooters use now a days, as long as they have their own spin on it and its good not a direct copy/paste (Sprint is a given since there is no unique way to put "run faster in a video game", but Halo's run always looked more realistic then other shooters where it looks like you are running on a treadmill).

With everything we evolve we go forward and we try new things. why should Halo and its gameplay be the super special snowflake thats gets to just sit in 1 point of time and do the same thing over and over again? I liked Halo 2 and 3 and its multi-player and I'm glad I have the MCC available if I want to re-tread old turfs, but I want new in Halo 5 multi-player not H2A multi-player + extras.

But like I said, I'm the minority so I don't get a vote in this.

: Totally agree. It's a shame more Halo players aren't interested in variety.

: For me, map voting was the worst thing that happened to Halo matchmaking. I
: miss H2, where if you were placed in Swords, or Shotty Snipers, or
: something really nuts like Fiesta Ball, you had to suck it up and play it,
: and *gasp*, maybe even have fun with something different!

While I'm glad someone is interested in change, map selection has been an overall pretty good choice. but I do agree that something like that should return, maybe a "random" playlist? I'd play that for sure!
