Collectively, Team Doubles hasn’t had its fair share of updating for a while, since back around may/june. But I believe its the right time for 343 to update this playlist:
4 new maps EASILY work with 2v2
New gametypes such as 85%, ZB DMRs, should be put in
Add new forge maps, with better spawns or more tactically diverse
remove jet-pack, just limit it to sprint and hologram…
Instead of creating a Annv. playlist of this, just incorporate this ideal setup. Yeah you could go against and say the forge maps, jetpack, gametypes are fine but its stale now, from the beginning these playlists were suppose to be regularly updated but that never came to tuition sadly…
> And those 4 maps are easily better than any map in the Team Doubles playlist.

> It would probably pull more players than CEA FFA and certainly more than CEA Firefight.
343 should really rethink how the CEA playlists should be. For some reason all of the playlists include objective. Why cant we have a anniversary slayer only playlist? Why cant we have a team doubles anniversary playlist? Christ sake 343 you really did drop the ball on this one.

Agrees, why another Squad and FFA if both rumble pit and the original squad support the maps, it defeats purpose. Just update the playlist with weighting more on the new maps and gametypes for a while, or make it all equal across the board of having regular and anniversary playlists that satisfies everyone if for some reason you can’t support and combine in the default playlists…
This question probably stems from the fact that after buying DLC, you don’t feel like you’re seeing it as much as you’d like. This is a legitimate concern, and we’ve taken a couple of steps to ensure that you’re going to be seeing DLC more often in the future. The first step we’ve taken is to adjust the Matchmaking algorithm to match players who have DLC with other players who have DLC much more often than in the past. The next step was upping the weighting for DLC in our playlists so that you’ll see the DLC in your voting options more frequently. The final piece of the puzzle was releasing 6 (!) amazing new multiplayer maps with Halo: Anniversary and adding those maps to the regular playlist rotation. The combination of these three things means you’re going to be able to enjoy your DLC in MM much more often than ever before.“

Not sure if that answers this issue, still have yet to see them appear and they’re not on the playlist page, still unhappy… even in this bump post…
Hmm I guess, my original point was to bring these maps into doubles, but I do agree to have a version in a form of arena based and the competitive style…
> I would have to agree, I just checked the Playlist page for Reach and unlike other Playlists, Double Team does NOT have any of the new maps.

> Beaver Creek, Prisoner and Damnation would play brilliant on them.
Agrees, Prisoner to me is like Swordbase to whoever loves that map, beaver creek in awe just great but surprise theres no health kit in the map. I dominated in Damnation against my college buddies lol. Still going throw some love at hang em’ high because it still fits too…
