Really? There's not a doubles playlist in H4

I saw a video that listed the playlists in H4 as of right now…

And Doubles is not one of them… what gives?

I’ve been a big fan of Doubles since Halo 2 and I’m sure a lot of you have been as well.

It’s fun for both casual and competitive play, and is one of the only playlists that you can still quickly find a match in, on Halo 3. If they keep doubles out of Halo 4, it will truly effect my overall impressions of the game and of 343i. If you are a “lone wolf” player, the gap between a free-for-all playlist and a 4v4 or 5v5 is just too large. There needs to be that playlist that fills that space in between. Such as Doubles or multi-team (which is also not shown in the video I saw)

Do you guys think this playlist (hopefully along with some others…) will be included in the day 1 update?

Also, DISCUSS and share any thoughts you have about this. I’m sure some of you are pretty upset about this as well.

I don’t think the playlists are final yet, regardless of what you’ve seen in the playlist. By the way, I think those playlists were just a placeholder that they shoved into that video.

If those are the playlists, there’s very little of them, and there’s no much variety. They’re just gametypes…

No surprise really, considering how large the smallest of maps are purely to accommodate sprint, which to my seems pointless because sprint is apparently there so you can travel across the map quicker, yet the maps are made bigger, so how will that make getting to things quicker? The maps are larger so things will be further away surely? I don’t get it really.

I hope those are not final. There isn’t even a proper FFA playlist. Only Regicide but no Slayer.

I’m a huge fan of multi-team in Halo 3. Me and my friend primarily play that because we can be a team but the majority of people you run into are enemies.

How do you know there’s no Doubles Playlist? Are you discussing a LEAKED video that you saw?

It’s not exactly surprising, considering the smallest map in the game has twice the playable space that Guardian has, and Guardian isn’t even a small map.

Last time I checked the recent BTS is not a leaked video.

Lol nice try to get someone banned, derp.

Anyways, no 2 v 2, not really suprising considering the size of maps. 2 v 2 Halo CE was the most competitive Halo by far. Its sad to see it gone.

I’m not trying to get anyone banned Herp.

Where was any Matchmaking Playlist shown in the BTS video?

I guess 343 thought Doubles was too competitive for Halo 4

Which came first? The sprint or the large maps?

343:Maps too big, add sprint
343:Sprints too fast, make map bigger
343:maps to big, make sprint faster

About 7 mins into that video. When they are scrolling through the menus.

They were scrolling through Maps. Not Gametypes, not Matchmaking Playlists.

sigh

I hope they add it. It was my favorite playlist to play with my friend.

I’m ok with this.

Everytime I would play Doubles with some random person that I didn’t know they would always quit at the beginning of the game.

Yes! That was it.

And it doesn’t show a doubles playlist, snipers, swat, multi-team…

It’s lacking all of the best playlists…
