Let me preface this complaint by stating that I love Halo 4. I believe it is the combination of all the best qualities of all of the Halo games, from Campaign to Matchmaking and everything in between.
My experience in online matchmaking has been good; not great. I tend to only play with one to two other people online making it difficult for coordinated strategies. My friends and I are left with a tactical disadvantage without game types that support two to three man teams.
In games where we have to team up with players that we don’t know we are almost always met with opposition, incessant rudeness or complete lack of ability in the game, ranging from ignorance of game control to blatant disregard of allied objectives.
My advice, humbly, is that something akin to double team and multi team is brought back.
I’d like to be able to play a game with my one friend and know that neither of us will have to be watching the back of some childish “Spartan IV”, leaving me more time to flank the enemy while my ally distracts them from my position.
As this is truly my humble opinion I would ask that it is not taken lightly simply because I’ve had the common decency to respectfully request these game types rather than rudely demand them. I’ve paid money for the game and for the online service, as have many others and we all expect a certain quality from this game, the same quality we’ve seen for years.
Adding these game types is a wise decision. It can only allow for more people to play and for more people to play with a better enjoyment of the game, which must be your ultimate goal. It is fiscally and logically the right decision.
With respect and hope,

We need more people to vote yes on this poll and to comment and discuss the matter at hand. This is relevant to Matchmaking and could greatly improve the entertainment value of online matchmaking. Let’s get on it, Spartans.
More people need to post about this. Create a new thread if need be. It’s ludicrous to think that you’ll always have four viable players to assist you in War Games. 2v2 and 3v3 game types NEED to be created. Use smaller maps and less power weapons on map, so as to avoid a monopoly on high strength ordinance.
Yet another reply to try and keep this on page 1 so more people see it and vote. No soldier would want to go into battle with one other soldier and two goons. Why should we? Vote yes for 2v2 and 3v3 game types.
I don’t know what was 343 thinking when they didn’t include Doubles at launch…
I were really disappointed when I saw that it didn’t exist because I had the best matchmaking
moments playing Doubles in Reach and H3 because it was so intense.
Cant believe they have taken out some of the main playlists from the previous halo. very disappointed in the matchmaking playlists. Doubles should have been there from the start. ffa throwback?? team regicide?? why do they need to test these playlists out when we already know what works from years of playing halo
I wanna see multiteam, based off the bulletin it looks like forge creations and smaller maps are the priority for the next month or 2,by the time spartan ops comes back (jan21) I’d think its safe to expect to see something
Thank you all for commenting and voting. I’m sure that with continued conversation and voting we can make a change in matchmaking. Also, please link this thread to other relative threads.
Who cares about January?! The world’s coming to an end in less than ten days and I want to play some double team before we all die…
Can someone actually provide a link to a confirmation that it is coming in January because the last official comment I read was about “early 2013” which is a lot more vague and annoying than January…
Double Team and Multi-Team were two of my favorite playlists back on Reach. I would really enjoy to see them back as permanent playlists, maybe by putting together some general 5v5 objective playlists? In this way, you would have a broad spectrum of playlists that will make almost every group happy, from 1- to 6 players-groups.
I can’t imagine the new tactics that can come up with two friends setting up complementary custom loadouts
