I played Stockpile from the days of the Beta and enjoyed it alot, it was something I haven’t found in any other modern FPS. The fact that Bungie removed it because, from what I am reasonably guessing, they couldn’t fix it made me quite opposed to how Bungie ran the playlists. As well as Stockpile they have removed gametypes along the lines of Elite slayer which practically never get played now.
So, if your all for 343 trying to bring back these once great gametypes online then leave a post saying yes or no, and hopefully the reason for your choice.
My vote is 100% a yes, I miss these gametypes that mixed up online play so it was not always the same spartan slayer game.
They should bring them back, there’s nothing wrong with them.
Stockpile forced people to think smartly and spread their team correctly: if you all go out to get flags, they’ll just rob them from you while you get another one. It requires people to stay behind and protect their scoring zone, which no other gametype does.
Headhunter seems to have dissapeared too, that was excellent because you had to kill to win, but then last long enough and pick your targets to win. You could just pick skulls up one at a time, or you could go for broke and risk making yourself a bigger target to win quicker.
They keep removing gametypes that are actually good to play, why not just make a playlist with all of these gametypes in them?

Yeah, that would be nice:)
Also umm could we bring back Lone Wolves as a ranked/Arena playlist? Like it was in the beta? Thanks<33

I agree, it was a very good playlist, I want this playlist, firefight versus and slayer pro.
From what I’ve gathered on Bungie’s limited speeches on the topic, they gauge each playlist and individual gametype based on popularity. If it’s a playlist with good traffic, it is considered popular. As to gametypes and maps, if they are not chosen often enough, Bungie (but now it’s 343) will lower the weight on that map or gametype. If it then falls below a certain threshold of votes, it is removed from Matchmaking forever. In short, gametypes are removed because of vote data. Bungie was under the impression that nobody liked Stockpile or Headhunter, so they took them out.
