Correlation is not causation. It's something new and shiny and that's why there are more people in it, not because they like it. I'm willing to bet that the Anniversary hopper is beating the snot out of a lot of other playlists right now, but hardly because of the gametypes. "New" maps that happen to be classics that actually play a lot better than a lot of the terrible community maps and other Forged abominations that have found their way into Team Slayer (that will now be seeing decreased play time if I read the current Bulletin correctly). I guess we'll see how the TU affects Multi-Team, Objective, and Squad Battle (or maybe it won't even have any significant impact, who knows). : My main quarrel is still the fact that I don't see where one would think the
I think you're right in that it is the wording. There is this perception (that I share) that the TU wasn't really a TU, but was actually an update or patch to apply to the Anniversary playlist. Bungie made Reach and even if 343 Industries is in control now, there's still some level of respect to be paid to Reach's multiplayer without completing dismantling or warping it. Leaving standard Reach alone is fantastic because the game just works. It has its flaws, but the TU only increases those in how it's added an extra bit of randomness and ridiculousness to the armor abilities and weapon damage. Snipe 316 and I last night kept having issues with trying to figure out which pistol we were using in plenty of the games. I'd honestly rather see it just left to the Anniversary playlists instead of making it more confusing as to where and what has this stuff applied. I feel bad for anyone who hops on Reach after a while who doesn't happen to read the Halo Bulletins or read forums like these who then end up playing a gametype and not being able to understand why things are different, only to go back to Slayer and see that things are how they remembered. Too inconsistent, too weak, and too disappointing.
