Ridiculous amount of game modes

Stopped playing Halo couple of years ago and thought I'd return back...

Does no one else find the amount of game modes a bit absurd, it fragments an already shrinking player base?

So long to just get a game of standard slayer or big battle and when I do it's with a 100ms ping (I'm in Ireland).

Maybe I'm an old miserable sod but the modern gaming fixation on infinite customisation is very tedious to me, it's moved beyond a nice addition to fundamentally ruining what should be a consistent and core experience.
