CMT Drama©, only on Modacity.net. Most of what needs to have been said has already been said, so I'll try and keep this short.

1.00 has a larger userbase due to piracy. Known fact. By downgrading the mod; by stripping it of promised features; by dumbing it down to appeal to them, you're ignoring the dedicated community which has supported, clamored for, and whether you know it or not, influenced it since its beginnings. Despite the claims that CMTSP is CMT's mod, not the community's, the stated need to make it available to as many people as possible is a direct response to the 1.00 community, who are primarily consisted of the kind of people we've generally tried to avoid giving the benefit of custom content.

There's a point at which you should stop; there's always room for improvement, and mindless adding isn't healthy once out of control, but to axe promised features which have already been heavily worked on for the sake of some pirates is stupid. Please, Masterz, I implore you, get off your high horse and make the mod the best it can be. CMT is one of the most (if not the most) respected teams in Halo modding, and to see that position lost because you aren't willing to listen to your fans is truly saddening.

Rule #1 of game developement: Listen to the fans. They're the ones who'll be playing it.
