Well, how should Bravo change anything when he joined 343i after Halo 4 was done? Furthermore nearly every playlist hyped by Bravo has pre-set loadouts... (Still AR start with not secondary weapon sucks.)
He is in charge of the playlists right?
I don't recall the exact date when he got hired but there were major improvements to make.
I can only speak for myself and close friends of mine who stopped playing after a week.
Infinity Slayer should have a normal Slayer option from the start and should have been called Team Slayer, even better would be Infinity Slayer in Action Sack and normal Team Slayer and Slayer Pro on top of the playlists.
Big Team should have also been from the start with the current voting slots. Not sure if Objective gametypes in the playlist would have survived but we have needed a BTB Obj. much sooner
Team Doubles should have been there much earlier, not even a infinity gfametype should be in there.
A super hardcore playlist like Throwdown should be up much higher and have a more luring name.
Rumple Pit and Multiteam (Teams of 3) should have been much earlier)
Swat and Snipers are as good as they can be without descoping :/
Objective Playlists aren't my thing so I won't judge about them, just saying Infinity Flag should have never been created
Flood, Griffball and Regicide shouldn't have single playlists. The first 2 should be in action sack the last one as an undertype of rumble pit.
Weapon rebalancing shouldn't have been teased and being streamed and all that shit, it should have been done and finished. Same with the red X's
Should have worked for patches so Sprint can be manually disabled in custom games, same with Descope/Flinch or Flag pick up.
I mean they needed months to fix instant respawn in customs.
Then the ranking system, it should have been an option in the menu (if it should be that noob friendly) to turn on ranks in game or not, you are only able to see them if turned on, you are able to see ranks of people who don't have it turned on, but they can't see it.
JIP should be toogable in menu, hell maybe even playing with guests should have been an option.
Would that have thrown their idea of Halo 4 overboard? Yes, but throwing their idea overboard should have been their first thought after seeing the population decline
It hurts so much to see Halo 4 having great core gameplay but it is cluttered with shit and bad decisions all the way, AR starts another one of them
