Snipers sucks in this game. It can come back when BTB maps stop showing up in it.
But I like snipers D:
The only thing stopping Snipers from being good is the damn radar.
343 are clearly trying to make it a “snipers pro” kind of deal - no AAs, no pistol, no grenades. So what’s the damn radar doing in there?
I agree that pistols/aa’s shouldn’t be in but being assassinated in snipers due to no radar sucks. Radar = a good thing. It doesn’t promote any form of effective camping because you should be looking far across the map for kills. Radar only widens the skill gap in this particular setup

and Why are shotguns not secondary weapons ? This was Normal for Previous Halo games for Obvious reasons.
I haven’t been able to play Matchmaking much because I work 3rd shift right now, but what exactly was wrong with Team Snipers? Nobody seemed to like it, but I never had time to test it out myself.
It doesn’t seem that hard to get right… Spawn with a sniper primary and either a Beam Rifle or Magnum secondary and put no radar on…

It’s the Snipers Pro gametype from Reach, with a radar. That is not bad in itself, but the playlist features nothing but BTB maps. The smallest map in Snipers is Complex.

So… you’re telling me that maps like Meltdown, Vortex, and the other BTB maps are the primary maps in a 4v4 (or 5v5) playlist…?
went through all the new blogs and cant find where it says its being removed. its getting as many people on as team swat and team swat is being kept because of that. from what they said if the rotational playlists hold more players than the permanent ones they will be switched. and considering snipers has the 3rd most players on it i dont see it going anywere.
Snipers sucks hard in this game. It’s borderline unplayable.
Reason? The radar.
There are a handfull of playlists that should NEVER have a radar. Snipers is one of them.
Next up 343 will probably put a radar in SWAT too…

Wait so ur telling me that the playlist has no small maps for a long range weapon blasphemy
Very disappointed with this decision. Snipers is one of my favorite playlists to play and is more popular on here than any of the original playlists aside from infinity slayer and big team infinity slayer. Maybe they should remove another gametype that no one plays instead.

Exactly, bit of a dumb move to remove one of the most populated playlists. I’ll miss it too.
