This is an old opinion, i now enjoy TD 
For Ref OP is below:
I donāt like it very much. Yet i donāt truly know why. But the Railgun is annoying! Another thing is the markers on the weapons, as normally i wouldnāt mind but in doubles, no. But its a shame, i was quite excited, maybe i could change oer from my regular playlist of SWAT.
Anyone else somewhat not like it?
Please this is not a place for H4 is x, y or z. For those who donāt know me i love Halo4, i think its a really good game and one of the better Haloās. I dont see many flaws.
First off, a couple of questions:
-
Are you playing with a friend? If not, thatās normally the issue right there 99% of the time.
-
Are you using your mic? Team Doubles is one of the more competitive playlists, a mic should be mandatory so you may communicate with your partner.
3)Are you timing weapon spawns adequately so your team is always in position to grab it? This is crucial since a single power weapon can turn the balance of a 2v2 extremely easily.
I could go on and on, but that would take up too much reading. With SWAT being your favorite playlist, I donāt know if you will enjoy regular Spartan combat. Itās not fast-twitch reaction timing like SWAT is, more strategy and planning goes into it and map movement/control is paramount.
I myself enjoy Team doubles. Itās very strategic and skillful. However, some of the maps/gametypes are fairly frustrating (Dispatch/Relay, Abandon on Infinity Doublesā¦) but you will see improvement in your play overall if you stick with it.
Personally, I canāt stand SWAT.
To make you feel happy,iāll give you a reply.
TD is awesome,i love et.It reminds me of the good old halo times,having to team up with your friend,and fighting other players.The only difference is that in Halo 4,instead of sending insults,i send āāGGāā and such and they answer in return.Hell,i just teamed up my clan with another clan that beat us by a very close game ,and now weāre good buddies.
But i agree on that thing that shows where every weapon is,i miss the old style

On Halo Reach (sure it was different play) I was decent at TD, didnāt need a teamate, i could often lone wolf it!
I guess it kinda is my fault here for not really having a team mate or communicating but i still know how to play TD somewhat effectivley. I was timing drops but,i dont like the map drops on the Railgun and Sticky dets. I am not the best user of the weapons but everyone else, just owns me with it! 
SWAT is my favourite type but Infinity Slayer is always my goto.
Whats up with SWAT like?

You may also have seen my post in reply to another. But im just gonna focus on the thing you mentioned.
I was playing the PRO variant and the markers, were massive and as with it being Pro, surely it should be like the old style. I donāt feel itās proper pro type with them included.
ITD is fine though.
In addition i donāt like the drops, railgun and sticky dets. I am not the best user but i get owned by them!
Just a hunch.
You hate team doubles because you encounter players who have better skill than you.

Are you trying to say CSR should be added? Or are you somewhat saying i am bad? I dont hate it eitherā¦
Personally I like Team Doubles, very competitive and great with a friend.

I personally dont hate doubles for this reason. I understand people will be better then myself, if they werenāt Iād be making money playing this gameā¦
Only two things I donāt like about the double PRO version that are game based, cant say (teammate wonāt use mic or modders they will always be around)
-
Power Weapons/ OS spawning happens way to often, normally have two snipers in play at one time. (I think each weapon should have 1 clip) Still gives sniper 8 shots, but spawning 12 is just dumb. Many times Iāve ended up having MAX sniper on most maps.
-
DMR still is s a starting weapon, it dominates to many maps at range. I donāt know the map, but anyone map that has long fireing lanes the BR has no chance. Iāve started playing BR only because I āHOPEā the competitive playlist does this as AGL and MGL do. It does make the game more evenly matched as everyone is forced to start with the same weapon.
I love double so much! I agree with what has been stated, you NEED TO HAVE A MICā¦NEED IT. I am sad that the state of matchmaking has turned into not needing a mic. Itās an everyone out for themselves game nowadays and no one cares about the winā¦ You need teamwork so you need to talk to your teammates.
Probaly should of said, I NEED A TEAM MATE!

This is exactly why I dislike the playlist ^^^^^^^ The people it puts me against are unreal. And then I feel like Iām just letting my team mate down. Iām not really a huge fan of how often the power weapons and OS either.

This is why we need a 1-50 ranking system the works, such as Halo 2ās did. Those were always well balanced games.
Should be infinity only. The old style of Halo and weapons on map is old, and is not innovative, the modern player does not need/want it. This is why Halo 4 is not doing well, because of these pro gametypes.

Yea but there is no way a PRO variant that makes HALO, HALO once again isnāt the reason why Halo 4 isnāt doing well. Doubles PRO is the reason why people now have hope again for this game.
I havenāt played +10 games in a day in months, and last night I played around 20 and had fun in almost everyone, even with quitouts. Halo just feels like Halo again.

I understand but i thought it was abit harsh, you know?
Hey Op, In reference to your post about not being good with the railgun. Just like any weapon it takes practice to get good at it. My recommendation to improve with weapons if you dont have a buddy is to load up a map alone, pick a target or 2 on the map, try hitting it a few times standing still, then start to try to do it while moving and just increase the difficulty of your movements while shooting at your target. Not only is it good practice to pick a target but it is also good because your target will naturally have no aim assist so if you can get good at hitting something like that while moving it should help you to hit your target in game.
Obviously in game your target will be moving to but you would be surprised how much practicing on a stationary target helps especially with a gun like the railgun where you need to learn trajectory.
Double is definitely a playlist where it helps to have a buddy but even if you are alone you dont want the thing limiting your success to be not being a efficient with a certain weapon.
