343 you have to bring back team snipers, it is an essential part to Halo Matchmaking. Also maybe shotty snipes would be awesome too, but you absolutely have to bring back Team Snipers, Matchmaking isn’t the same without it.
Someone didn’t read the past bulletin.

Okay. Does February work for you?
> Matchmaking updates go live every Monday, and potential playlists for the month of February include both FFA and a new and improved version of Team Snipers. Late February will also bring both a Title Update and the Majestic Map Pack (which includes two small maps and one medium-sized map) to Halo 4 as well. Expect more information on all of those things next month.
Yes, February would be awesome. Thank you!
But of course!
That was easy. lol
I would like to see Shotty/Snipes again myself…

Seconded. I loved Shotty Snipers CTF in Halo 3.

If Team Snipers: The Most Heavily Dashboarded Gametype in Halo History V2.0 comes back, then I at least hope it is kept to it’s own playlist, since, it indeed makes me want to kill myself. To each their own!
That being said: If the “Snipers” minority can have that (Insert ‘Silent Bob’ shudder…) ‘gametype’ back… can the rest of us have BTB: Objective restored to matchmaking so we can operate full teams?
It’s still a kick in the b@lls to bar 2 of my homeboys from the party because there is no support for them to join us… And you know how objective-gametype people feel about Slayer…
Thank you

Depends. Can you make it and every new playlist permanent? (And add 3/Reach style Rumble Pit)
snipers was not functional with flinch… im sorry…

thats why in this new TU update they will remove flinch and add descope
hopefully…
Can we also have de-scoping in this playlist instead of flinching as well?

Please, make it a Permanent Playlist.
As long as Team Doubles, Team Snipers, Grifball, and the New Competitive Playlist remains permanent (as well as the current ones that are here) then people should be Happy.
Although a FFA playlist would be nice… and no, not regicide. lol
If this doesn’t become permanent I’m done and selling this game, I don’t want to play my favorite playlist once every two months for a week at a time. This is literally all I want to play (I haven’t played since you removed snipers before).
But If it does I’ll gladly pay for the map packs and continue supporting this game.
THIS PLAYLIST IS A REQUIRED STAPLE TO THE HALO EXPERIENCE REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR NUMBERS TELL YOU!
Listen to your “statistics” and watch your population dwindle or listen to your fans and regain your flagship title, your choice 343.
I agree with what you say about the ‘statistics-based decision-making’ which is entirely arbitrary and thus far likely to blame for a large portion of depopulation- But as an avid Halo-online player since Nov. 9, 2004 I can honestly say that Team Snipers is not a ‘staple’, when things like Assault have been removed entirely and the game still cannot support 8v8 for anything other than Slayer. It’s just a bit of a stretch. Halo operates fine as a deathmatch game, but the truth is Halo always provided objective-gameplay better than any other console shooter and to pretend otherwise is… short sighted to say the least.
Still, I laud your efforts to have that filthy useless gametype brought back- And I hope this feedback shows 343i that the only people statistics-based, temporary playlist updates work for are the ‘drop-in’ players who are not in fact avid fans.
Let’s sit tight and see if 343i can pull their pants up.
After all, it’s really only the avid fans that are left… and we’re all still clinging to some sort of self-derived glimmer of hope that Halo can return to it’s former glory, when, after all, these changes are generally all reversible… once the attitude has been adjusted.
Give us what we want! I mean, why not? Are you angry at us 343?
Silly to think… yet logic eludes us when it comes to this matchmaking fiasco. It just doesn’t make any sense.
Adieu.

Well I’ve played Halo since CE, so for you to opinionate that snipers is “not” a staple of Halo is like a cold, hard slap in the face to us sniper players. Last time I checked, every single Halo game (excluding Halo Wars) since Halo 2 has had a permanent snipers playlist. I’m sorry that you don’t like snipers, but guess what… I don’t like objective or BTB. But to each his own. I’m not here to knock on your preferences, so don’t knock on this snipers topic please. If anything, we should ALL be coming together to help 343 get Halo 4 back on its feet.
Not having a permanent snipers playlist (after they remove flinch and put in descoping) is a big NO-NO 343. I don’t wanna hear “well we took it out because it wasn’t popular.” Baloney, thats a big load of horse doody and you know it. The fact is, you never gave it enough time! The game was out for a week remember. Everyone who purchased the game was trying out all the other new ‘bells & whistles’ during this time.
343, I PROMISE YOU, if you fix snipers to where flinch is removed and descoping (when shot) is added, you will bring back A LOT of us veteran players. But you MUST keep it permanently. Having rotational playlists is a really BIG turn-off to Halo’s loyal fans.
You want our expectations… we’re giving it right here.
