I just got back into Halo 4 after a long break and found that several of the original game modes have been removed, making the ability to complete the win achievements dependent on a lot of infinity slayer games and praying they choose the right one. Any idea on if/when such playlists would be brought back into the game? Oddball and dominion have no ways at all of working on their commendations while king of the hill and regicide have slow progress.
PS. - just started the flood commendation, and it looks like only 1 player in 10 can win? Thats going to be a fun achievement…not.
I might be wrong, but Ricochet is technically classed as an Oddball gametype, so you could play that if you are aiming to get your commendation up for it.
The regular gametype though is still available in Team Doubles, Proving Ground, Rumble Pit and Team DLC.
Team Oddball is actually going to be a rotational playlist for two weeks starting on July 7th. Keep an eye on the Matchmaking Playlist Calendar here.
Dominion usually returns every few months or so, in fact I think you just missed it this time round.
Be sure to checkout the Halo 4 Playlist page too, it shows a current list of maps and gametypes in Matchmaking.

That’s how it goes. Can be hard to win sometimes. But, good luck.
Would love to have the option to play these playlists more often 
As for the flood commendation, yeah 1st out of 10 people can make for some real challenges. Definitely one of the more arduous commendations out there…
I figure I have no real chance at the Flood wins, so that one along with the Mongoose will be the ones I have unfinished.
