E: Wait, does this mean I could easily do my lightbridge syncing in a map that I will not say the name of?

I personally use HAC - I found the map downloading more reliable (though it may have improved for OS since I last tried) and you can bookmark servers and join without ever loading the server list
I think the addition that I appreciate most would have to be SAPP. I stopped playing for years but when I joined a SAPP server and played without leading, I realized that this whole time we've been playing a very lo-fi version of the game (relating to the fidelity of Halo PC's gameplay to Bungie's original vision of Halo's gameplay - in which leading had no place, considering it wasn't an issue on Xbox system link/split screen). With that said, I have a lot of trouble going back to servers that have leading. Don't get me wrong - I played for years with leading, and got quite good at it, but after awhile I guess I just got tired of it.
Also, some other super underrated/under-used features of SAPP include map votes, ability to disable objects/powerups, and the /afk command. Map voting should be considered essential - it keeps a server's map cycle fresh, and less people will potentially leave after a match, because at least they had a chance to vote for what they want, instead of being forced to play a gametype they don't enjoy. Disabling powerups/objects is nice if you have a specific weapon set/starting equipment in mind but can't achieve it with Halo custom gametypes alone.

I just find it exciting and inspirational how many new features have been added since back in the day.
