Halo 4.
Base gameplay is solid.
Graphics and sound are good as well.
The rest needs some cleaning. Buying Halo 4 was kind of like buying a shoddy house and hoping you can fix it up. I'm dead serious, there's not much positives I have about the game other than the core gameplay, but the core gameplay is buried under a mountain of design decisions which I really don't like. Now it's a matter of if 343 bites their toungue and redacts some of these decisions, and adds in elements that should have been in there (Hello red X's). But so far they've given me no indication their doing it other than a potential new SLayer Pro/MLG playlist.
Game is pretty fun with a donging party though. Wish the old reach cleansers would realize this.

A few thousand+, but it would make the remaining Halo fans happy. Which should be their #1 priority at this point.
My gut feeling is the ranks at the current time will be like the BPR (like many have said) and won't make a difference and just piss off the older fans even more. I hope they prove me wrong.

To get me back they would also need better maps, better FFA, a permanent 2v2 OR 3v3v3v3 playlist, better matchmaking based on connection, and static weapon spawns across many playlists. I don't see that happening.
Maybe if the population keeps dropping Halo 5 will give me the overhaul that I'm looking for. Of course by then I'll probably have to purchase 17 different brands of junk food, and enter 5 codes a day in order to play the "fresh Halo 5 MP experience", but at least it will exist.

Straight up, if they added static ordnance overnight, most people wouldn't notice. Hell, I'd even wager money saying they'd prefer it since now they know where weapons spawn! 343 implemented this beautiful waypoint system with the power weapons and had to muck it up with the randomness.
All the expansions are free with Premium.
Aftermath is soooo good.

Yes!
It would bring back quite a few I'm thinking. H3 still had the superior playlist management...
Social Tab and a Rank Tab
Pretty damn simple
If it's anything like BPR, they better not even waste their times doing it. I'm hoping it won't be but what Halo has gone through in the last months have me seriously worried about the direction halo is headed.

Glad to have that stupid Mantis stomp achievement behind me. Got so sick of jackasses on my team getting mad over not being first to the Mantis and plasma stunning the crap out of it as well as shooting and grenading it. I don't think I will ever step foot inside that damn thing again.
I can honestly say that was my least favorite achievement ever in a halo game, and that includes 2 for 1, which was a pain in the ass but felt so good to get.

It wasn't implemented in the desired way.
I.e the game just started and now the teams have even numbers.
What we got was jip tactical nuke inbound and no spawns are safe.
The disappointment stems from people calling out this very obvious problem back when it was announced. The fix for it hasn't worked.

Comment section on 343's Crazy Halo 4 Custom Gametype: Binary Slayer:
I know there's been lots of complaining, essentially since launch, but the thing that gets me is that EVERY community has something to complain about.
They really didn't please anyone who cares about Halo with this game... Except for IGN, who gave them every award possible, which we all know isn't biased.

They really did drop the ball with customs. Honestly if they just apologized and said we were really tight on time etc etc. I'd be more than willing to forgive them. Halo 2 was a buggy mess but Bungie admitted they went through Dev hell with it.
But we still have no insight nor explanation as to why customs got gimped, why we have no red X's, and such.
