It isn't the same. I stopped playing Halo 4 matchmaking for like a month until Mondays update because I hate it, and I'm not going to support it by giving it another number for population. However, I didn't complain because their wasnt a need to. They got the message (hopefully), and I didn't need to contribute to it.
Honestly I try my best to be 100% unbiased when viewing situations and issues, I'll continue to defend them on when whats being said I don't think is correct.
However, I despise Halo 4 matchmaking. They screwed up so much its unbelievable. No, Bravo, the savior of Halo cant fix the mess that is Halo 4 matchmaking. Infinity, Loadouts, Spawning, Sandbox balancing, and all the matchmaking settings all combine into a recipe for disaster.
Halo 5 is the only possible step in where they can make enjoyable gameplay. I'm not talking about perfect game-play, but enjoyable, something people can enjoy, but still have a few complaints, and not a game of complaints with a few enjoyable moments.
