I know this topic has probably been beaten and thrown out a windows already but I was thinking, when are they gonna implement them? I sorta hate being matched up with a bunch of potatos who get about 6 kills when I get 20 or more. I use the term potatos for players who get a low score. I am not trying to put the casual gamers down, I realize some people play for fun and not for winning and that some people just arent that good. I like to win and I like teamwork and objectives. I do wish they would implement ranked playlists though as it would match up people to others with the same skill. And another thing, get rid of Join in Progress (JIP? Ive seen that on the forums, just realized what it was) as 8/10 times you join the losing team, and 7/10 times, for me at least, I join near the end of a match with 4-5 minutes left and my team is losing by 200 making it almost impossible to come back, and yes a few times my team rallied and came back and won, but those instances are few and far between. Again these are my OPINIONS and I’m not trying to piss off any of the casual gamers.

> when are they gonna implement them? (Ranked Playlists)
We still have to answer the question: Are they gonna implement them?
My take?
No. They won’t.
They trimmed the playlist size down from Reach, there’s no dedicated Grifball playlist, no dedicated Snipers playlist, no dedicated Doubles, no dedicated Multi Team, etc, etc. When they added Team Regicide as a permanent playlist, they removed KoTH.
To think that they are just going to suddenly double up on the numbers of playlists doesn’t strike as being probable. Not to mention that it would split the population and if they introduced stricter searching restrictions in Ranked, would trade crappy teamate problems for excessively long search time problems.
I’m ambivalent towards JIP, it’s not the horrible monster people claim it is in general and in H4, very rarely do I get a JIP game.

Ok hold up, one of the commendations is specifically for KoTH. I agree with most of what you say but personally I wouldnt mind a huge playlist like Halo Reach’s it gave a lot more options on what to play. And the KoTH thing is rediculous, do more people really play slayer regicide than KoTH? Weird. I hope they do add more playlists like Reach. It adds more diversity. Just my opinion.

Several commendations are for KoTH.
It won’t be gone forever.
They’ll rotate it in eventually. Right now the Infinity Challenge looks like it’s eating manpower so there haven’t been any rotations.
