You'll be putting yourself into exile by doing that. If H3 is anything as good as H2 (I'll give you the "In its time" bit) then there will only be 1 MP game on the xbox live.
Halo is different in most ways to GRAW, which I assume is the first console FPS game that you got into. So I guess you measure a lot of your console FPS games against that.
Its fast paced and has a lot of layers to it. there is an element of weapon knowledge that you have to have in order for it to work for you. Each weapon is balanced and designed for a purpose. If you start and never change the original weapon, or pick up a "Ray"-gun then you might think:
"WTF this is doing nothing", "I've fired like a billion bullets and 80 million green blobs and this guy hit me 4 times in the head with that rifle and killed me."
"I then find that rifle, and spray a million shots into this guy and he then fired 1 green blob into me and 1 shot from a pistol and I was dead.", "So I got the green blob gun and the pistol, I could not for the life of me get a large green blob and the pistol probably would have been more useful if I threw it".
Thats Halo for you. The people that have played it more will be better, because they understand the nature of the game. Once you understand what you are doing and how to do it, then skill comes into play.

Maybe another time.
If you got an error on your 360 when trying to download the maps, was it because you needed to go into 50hz mode? When I first got my 360 I had to plug it into an SDTV to get it to download. Worth a shot if you're using a HDTV as the Xbox 1 emulator acts all funny on the mappack download screen on HDTVs. I think they fixed that though, not sure.
Don't really think that was the problem because i managed to get the last two map packs without much hassle, it's just the first one that constantly fails to install. I did also have a problem with xbox live marketplace last night, i kept getting status code 8015000a. I'm trying to download again now, it may have been a problem on their end.... hopefully
I would have played last night if I had caught this thread.. Hit me up tonight if you want to play 
(8pm+)
It really sucks them making us pay for the maps, really lame that they will add them to this pretty weird playlist thing they have going on.
