There’s a team snipers playlist? I’m in.
I can put up with the weapon variety (mostly). I just want to know if team snipers or some sniper only variant will be a permanent mode?

If you look at the thread I already detailed why I proposed loadouts the way I did.
And I don’t think the playlist should be restricted to ONLY one-shot-kill snipers. Scout maps on CS are awesome, and that’s a light sniper.
And yes, the Stalker Rifle basically is the light rifle from H5, except they gave us an extra zoom level. Which kinda switches it from being a long range precision rifle meta to more of a light sniper rifle meta.
Would a stalker rifle gametype be better suited to team slayer or team snipers? If on paper it feels more at home with other rifle starts (which I think it does) then why snipers and not slayer?
This isn’t CS and in all other times ‘team snipers’ has been in Halo, even in 343s previous rotational playlists it’s been the sniper rifle.
As cultivated by the franchise, team snipers is fun because of popping people in the head with a sniper rifle, that’s the dopamine hit of that playlist. Likewise in swat I would argue it’s having a reliable rifle so that you can swing around and get multikills from quick successive headshots.
If you don’t have a quick firing 1sk headshot weapon (sniper and shock only) is it really team snipers? If you don’t have a consistent rifle to get multikills is it really swat?

Sniper (primary) + Sidekick (secondary) + no radar + no glare = good times

Yeah, I saw your reasoning after making my comment, but I stand by what I’ve said.
I know how legacy snipers used to work with give players a magnum, but with how difficult the S7 is to use, I think many players would just resort to using the mangler instead, defeating the point of the mode. And getting snipers pro relies on luck.
I’d rather every team spawn with a sniper, each side gets a shock rifle/stalker rifle wall rack and a skewer spawns in the middle.
The Focus Rifle also had 2 zoom levels. Are we defining snipers by their zoom levels or are we defining them by their damage and precision?
The Stalker Rifle variant would be improved with an S7 and a Shock Rifle on the map. There is no need for a secondary weapon in this mode as the Stalker is very quick to vent.
Agree 100%.
With the bulldog thrown into the mix occasionally.
We played a custom match the other night with Skewers and Frag grenades. It was a blast. The slow reload really changes up the pacing.

I’m fine with the bulldog because that’s just shotty snipers which is a legacy mode at least. Although I think it would be better fit when action sack eventually arrives.
