For that gain I would gladly trade away most of the rest.

I'll miss Theater mode the most.

More than the chaos of Firefight or the wackiness and imagination of Forge, it was Halo's theatre mode that really drew me in. For hours on end I watched gameplay footage whether it was a full campaign mission setting the camera in cinematically appealing spots or in the thick of a heated competitive match, it brought just as much entertainment as the game proper. This was my creative outlet for Halo. I never had much ambition setting building blocks together, nor was I attune to what truly made an enjoyable gameplay experience. Finding the best angle, the best manipulation of light and elements, and so many other factors all came together to give my ultimate gift back to Halo.

Preach it. Your experience speaks to mine. I could spend an afternoon reliving a level playthrough, exploring, taking screenshots, watching everything unfold from the enemies' side of the battlefield.

Good thing we've now got video capture. Yay.
