Nope, Halo 4 is over 2 years old now as well. You're ignoring Reach/Ann altogether. Also ignoring the sheer volume of FPS competition out there from 3 to Reach and now 4, fps game releases is magnitudes higher since 3 launched vs Reach or 4's launch. Another point not being discussed in the diversity of objective playlist in Reach or 4, more choices and split populations to counter 3's social/ranked split e.g. ricochet, grifball, infection/flood etc.
I'm with you for settings, all the way but to ignore the population history is a mistake for future game development. I've been active at B.net on an older account since Halo 2 and my Ozzy account for 7 years. I participated in the matchmaking B.net threads, specifically objective ranked/social, I know what I'm on about here mate.
As much as I personally also want those maps and settings back (H2 & H3) I disagree just rehashing the same CTF or assault settings is going to return AND keep population for the next title over years after its release. I want those settings and I want players/teams to match against in ranked play. I don't see the old stuff doing that for years without being refreshed some way. Cases in point are the objective Halo 4 population over Reach's population or mid to end of life Halo 3 population.
It's quite clear, try asking Shiska or the 343i sustain team or view the old B.net threads about matchmaking feedback.

oh my god I just got really nostalgic for Oddball Swordbase.
Good luck with that, preorders opened in December and they're each limited to 100 pieces each. Better get on that Wait List ASAP if you want one.

Nice one Tashi. Tell them if I can't juggle a flag in the next Halo they're not getting my £500 for xb1
Time, how does it work?

That Princess Leia hairbun photo Frank posted pretty much confirmed he was hired though.
One the one hand, it's great 343 hired someone passionate about the game/series and very community minded, but bad on the other hand for HaloGAF. I mean sure others may have said he wasn't the only member involved with the Halo community, and that's true, but he was one of the last pre-Reach members here who actively contributed, did HaloGAF Radio, tried to coordinate customs nights, update people on news and things like the turbo update, create informative OT's or help test maps/gametypes.
Congrats again though Tashi.
Yeah that's totally fake, but still the undersuit looks odd.
Congratulations, can we get some leaks, community morale could with a boost?
I thought Australia has no dedicated servers?

Guys, I think Tashi might have gotten a job at 343.
And what does a Community Coordinator Fracas do?

We can Hope.
but the truth is that 343 is set in their own ways and nothing will change that.
So edgy.

Its great that they hired someone like Tashi, but you cannot dispute that they wont keep the changes they made to the franchise.

Hey I thought I'd give you guys a heads up, there's an ad on Neogaf telling me there's a used car for sale in Nigeria, don't want you guys to miss it.
Fuck Tashi
He got hired in late January but didnt let us say anything
Congrats Tashi!

I'm not so much disparaging them as I am the lack of support the game will receive and the now-ancient hardware it will have to run on.
Also: congrats to Tashi.

It was good times. It's amazing how a bad gametype / map combo can be so fun with a little creativity and sadism.
Tashi has been a positive part of HaloGAF for a long time, and many of us consider him a friend. We know that 343 hiring Tashi doesn't mark some sweeping change in vision or culture at the studio. We know. We get it. It's still something to be excited about, and your incessant negativity is a downer (for those who bother paying attention to you).

Can you get me Recon?
As for Oddbase Swordball: I always thought that was an unspoken but unified effort to get Swordbase removed from as many playlists as possible?

I applied for both. I figure that surely I'll get in on one of the two betas damn it.
I applied for PC, too. I'm stoked, man.

Xbone get, PC version's probably gonna be all buggy and garbage. PC Master race problems and whatnot.

Why would it be buggy? I trust respawn.

Because ensuring proper running on all formations of hardware on PC's is a lot harder than ensuring it works on a single static hardware setup like the Xbone. ? I dunno just a feeling.
