If you had to pick only 8 playlist to be present in the launch of Halo 4, which would you pick, and why?
I would pick Team Slayer, Team Objective, Big Team Battle and Rumble Pit for Social and Team Classic, Doubles Classic, Big Team Classic and Lone Wolves Classic for Ranked.
This would keep both traditional and new fans satisfied.
How 'bout you community?

Ranked:
Team Snipers,
Team Slayer/Team Hardcore/MLG (hopefully they are all the same thing),

I thought that everyone could count up to 8!
Your kidding yourself if you think 343i will have a suitable 1v1 playlist right out of the box.
If they do, expect large maps with default settings and AA’s including cloak.
I would do my (8) playlists but not enough information is available on the ranking or progressive skill system just yet…therefor, this topic was just created too soon.
