THANK YOU I personally feel the Halo 3,4,reach "features" were the downfall to Halo multiplayer....

All of the abilities, especially the roll/dash/fly are what really annoy me. I also do not like the starting loadouts. Everyone spawns with the same simple guns and if you want better, you fight for it. Depending the game type the starting guns can change. You can argue with me all day that that is not how people want it, but lets face it Halo multiplayer isn't the big name in the business anymore, and people wonder why it isn't as popular as it used to be with Halo 2 and the beginning of Halo 3. I think these loadouts and abilities are part of the problem. Seems like all the games are trying to mimic Call of Duty. I will admit, after Reach I thought Halo Multiplayer was a lost cause, but Halo 4 was refreshing, but still not Halo 2. This article touches on the issues the newer Halo's have had with multiplayer... http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/09/the-real-reason-halo-the-master-chief-collection-exists

Piracy is a stupid excuse considering Halo's multiplayer's popularity. Make it a Steam Game and it will sell millions of copies. But the main reason it wont happen is Halo is Microsoft's console seller. I dont have an Xbox One, nor did I plan on it, but now that The Master Chief Collection has been announced, I'm rethinking that.

I personally am worried about the maps. There are SO many good Halo 2 multiplayer maps to only have 8, which is what I think I heard during the press conference. Lockout better be there, Bever Creak has a special place in my heart for 2v2, obviously Coagulation for bigger games, but then there are too many to name after that!

I personally have not played xbox in years, but the reboot of Halo 2 Multiplayer may bring me back and I just wanted to thank you guys for doing this. There are many people like myself who used to play non stop, but with every game going the way of Call of Duty with special perks and moves I have been pushed away from many of these online experiences which includes the newer halo's. Halo to me doesn't have jetpacks and stuff like that, which is why I WILL be buying the Master Chief Collection to play Halo 2 again, but I most likely wont be buying Halo 5 for that very reason, If I want perks and special skills and loadouts I will play Call of Duty. Please continue on the tradition of Halo CE and Halo 2's multiplayer experiences. Thank You, InfiniteGrim
