dear 343 can i make a request...

I was just wondering if there is any chance you guys get rid of team throwdown and but in another playlist. Something like GOTY slayer and make it 6v6 so we can use the big and small maps.

My reason for this is because team throwdown has been a very very low population playlist, from the highest i have seen in a while 150+ down to 4 this morning.

This will not only make me happy but anyone else who bought the game of the year maps and only have played on like two.

If not GOTY slayer can we get something else to throw down (pun intended) into the mix?

They took our dominion away, one of the most populated playlists but left the least populated.

Don’t get excited man, most of us have lost hope.

343 announced on Monday a DLC only team slayer playlist coming in january, which is an improvement but still lame as my interest will have plummeted by then.
Ive just spent an hour going in and out of lobby in all playlists and cant find ANY with DLC maps, i feel sorry for anyone who bought goty edition, i bought champions bundle a month ago and still havent play either maps included. total waste of money, they should at least of put a disclaimer saying maps only able to play in custom games or something…

On another thread people have shared gamertags for those of us that own DLC to increase chances of playing them (so far to absolutely no avail, as me and 3 ppl tried for ages finding a match but constantly had to play adrift, haven, shutout, lol) Add me if you like though!

all i can do is hope, if we as a community come together and can get enough people who say they agree with this post, it will happen we just need enough people.

I totally agree bring us back the DLC maps! i bought the GOTY edition for nothing otherwise!

This makes me mad and i feel abused once again
not sure if i’ll buy any other halo series…

just leave the dlc matchmaking or bring us a server list!

low population is -Yoink-, if you take it away, it’s logical no population joins
and newcomers knowing that you remove dlc afterwards won’t even bother to start playing halo!

Still want to know what their reasoning is for this.

its was part of December playlist rotation, it was just for a week. race took it’s place this week and next week is rocket race.

Also, is there any way to know what the current playlists map choices are? Like a list somewhere on waypoint that lists all current map rotations… Just to increase my chances of playing DLC maps?

That is just the bulletin, with a calendar of new playlist dates, is there no list of CURRENT MAP ROTATIONS anywhere, a breakdown of what maps COULD come up for vote on team slayer? Or btb? Or rumble pit etc…

Edit* this is what i was looking for:

RIP Dominion.

They seem dead set on this playlist rotation gimmick, even though there are a bunch of things that seem high in demand but they simply haven’t brought back. Dominion was always a cult favorite, and they removed it simply because the majority of Halo players didn’t play it. Of course - Dominion isn’t for everyone, but it still had its fanbase. If you really wanted to appeal to all of the casuals, just take out everything but CTF, BTB, and Slayer, honestly. >_>

I honestly don’t understand why it’s so hard to put in playlists that people want. They’ve done it before - a DLC-only playlist or a Dominion playlist sounds like a one hour fix.
