Double team or team doubles has been one of the most popular playlists since the original Xbox. It’s not always easy to get a full team of players who you know and trust for big team battle or even slayer (especially when people are jumping ship faster than ever before to go and play other games) and being teamed up with random players often ends up being more frustrating than fun.
Adding a double team playlist would obviously help to solve that problem. I can understand to a certain extent why a double team playlist isn’t included (even the smallest maps are bigger than what we’re used to for double team games) but they are supposed to be bigger seeing as we can cover more ground in the same amount of time with the sprint so I don’t really see size as a huge issue. If it turned out to be a problem, why not add forged maps to the playlist so we could play on remakes of old classics like Lockout? Or maybe release smaller maps to accommodate a doubles playlist instead of adding more medium/large maps (Crimson pack).
I’m pretty sure there’s a demand for a double team playlist and we’ve already been more than patient. Most people who were playing right after launch have already given up and gone on to other games. If double team isn’t added soon I think that even more will end up giving up on Halo.
