Halo 5: Just Another Game?

Out with the old and in with the new?

There was much anticipation for the new update 'Cartographer's Gift' that recently released for Halo 5. But why are people from the Halo community, including myself, disappointed? It's not so much of what was included in the update, which was a lot, but more so what was missing. The update included Forge, 2 new assassinations, Armor and helmet of Mark IV [Gen 1], New Warzone map: Battle of Noctus, New arena map: Overgrowth, New Big Battle maps: Entombed and Antifreeze, Big Team Battle was added to the social playlists along with a Holiday Doubles playlist, and the start of the new season. Why have they left out the traditional social playlists that we have all grown with from the previous Halo games? For example, Grifball, King of The Hill, Oddball, Juggernaut, Ricochet, etc..? It's not hard to realize that 343 Industries is releasing updates for Halo 5 overtime simply to spend more time producing better content, but, wouldn't you think they would have released the traditional social playlists when the game first launched to keep people who have been with Halo for so long interested? It really makes you question what 343 Industries intentions are with Halo 5.
