That's one possibility. I echo the sentiment Steely made about imposing the developer's vision for their game on the matchmaking playlists. I think Reach illustrated the challenges of trying to straddle the line (though they were doing a three way split between "classic", "vanilla" and "TU").
Rotating classic playlists is a reasonable solution, though I would hope for more variety in any rotating playlists, ala Halo 3.
The Bulletin noted that there will be playlists not featuring armor mods, which I took to mean a more stripped down Slayer. We have Infinity Slayer, which could be well distinguished from say, Team Slayer which could feature a more stripped down starting set (no armor mods, no load outs) to mirror the older Halo games, without making a host of tweaks to base traits and such to try and create a "classic" experience. It would be more about offering a somewhat more stripped down version. But you gotta fight playlist creep when doing so.
I go through all this and end up with Steely: create a vision. Roll with that vision while still crafting a few niches that reflect some community preferences (Grifball, MLG).
Eh hmm. Team Downer ft. Heckfu

Not trying to be funny but you asked about 50 times and every time you got zero answer.
Microsoft said they would not be at gamescon and its safe to assume that means no Halo.
I feel bad for you son, i really do if i had a local con and halo 4 wasn't their id be disappointed aswell but you had the next best thing to confirmation it was not there which was no confirmation its there. If Halo 4 was at gamescon you would of known.

I am definitely coming to Yerp with Halos this year, before launch. I even have a Yerpan passport because I am from Yerp. The best part of Yerp. The TOP of Yerp.

I was going to contradict this, but yes, in comparision to Halo's American sexing, we don't.
Where are your apologetic tears?!? You were one of us! A Gael! Now you're one of them.
Wouldn't Scanda... ah doesn't matter.
You should come to New England. Eat some lobsters or something.
I have personally watched Rich... and Claude (where you at WU?!) Hold an objective (true story if careful with perspective... well, except Wu actually did it with a flag... on Zealot... in their basement.
And...
My plans would be to totally go to H4 were it to be at MLG Dallas... as long as I had cool people to play with.
Rules you out Ray...

As in it's really fun and I enjoy playing it, but then I just need to unlock shit. And I can stop for a while after it stops being fun due to netcode or spawns or other such cod bullshit, but I get sucked in for each new release

One of the reasons why I don't think unlocking everything should take months worth of playtime.. Gotta be realistic here 343!
Music is a HUGE deal for me in games and movies. The Amazing Spider-Man (most recent example) would've been so much better had it not been for the horribly placed audio throughout the movie.. Imagine Halo without its memorable music?
Good music makes :] turn to
and :[ to :''''[Bad music makes ;\ turn to playing something else (or at least not memorable)
I have always wanted to have a legit lobster roll from a quaint little shack.

There's a real nice gaming event in Holland coming up on October. Real nice yep yep yep.
Good and playable but do not expect loads of new content at all.
That's all I was hoping for. <3
So less than loads? That's still pretty good. *hype level increased to 85%*

You guys keep talking about two different play-styles: infinity and classic. But shouldn't we be considering 3? Infinity has personal ordnance while regular has the global ordnance system; add in a bare-bones "classic" experience and that's 3 variants on slayer.
Are we just assuming that infinity and regular (global ordnance) will exist as separate voting options in the same playlist while "classic" will be a separate playlist/playlist cluster? If not done properly, this could balloon outward to an extreme amount of playlists. Throw a ranked/social structure in the mix and things get crazy. It will be interesting seeing how this is done come Novemeber since 343 promises a streamlined playlist experience.

Somehow it just doesn't have a big impact on me. I either don't notice it, or am actually bothered by it. I usually turn off music whenever I can. Even in Skyrim, which had absolutely gorgeous music, I hated how it would give away an impending dragon attack, for example.Music is a HUGE deal for me in games and movies. The Amazing Spider-Man (most recent example) would've been so much better had it not been for the horribly placed audio throughout the movie.. Imagine Halo without its memorable music?

Halo is one of the few cases where the music has really stood out to me. At first, with CE, it was because the tribal music and space monks were so damn weird, haha. But it eventually grew on me, and Marty's work continued to diversify (and, at times, improve) as the series went on.
I could count the number of movie OSTs that have stood out to me on one hand, probably. Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Indian Jones, Star Wars... And that's about it. I can't think of any other memorable examples off the top of my head.
I realize I'm probably in the minority here, heh.
Watching the Magic Behind Halo 4 again.
Wait, what? These guys (on the left) are not re-imagined ODSTs but Spartan IVs?
One can be seen at 2:14 in the BTS video. Definetly looks like Mjolnir armor.
So... does that mean the default Mjolnir GEN2 helmet looks kinda rectangular ODST helmet?
Drunken Spartan cosplayers.

I'm not even sure what an Irish Halo event would look like. Probably it would be small.
What the fuck really? I remember reading they wouldn't be there, but why is it on them? You can check the schedules yourself. Do you really think Frank can read every post and answer you specifically?
and not visit one of "Yerp"'s biggest gaming Conventions.
USA a lot of hands on. Europe?.. Eurogamer only? (till now).. cool, the part of Europe where you can't go by car so easily.

"We are bringing Richard Dean Anderson to Ireland, which will be his first time in the country, for the launch, as the characters he has played such as MacGyver are heroes and pop culture phenomena like Master Chief. Both are ordinary individuals who, despite insurmountable odds, have stepped up to the challenge to come out of extraordinary situations. There is already huge excitement about his upcoming appearance."
Holy.
