Team Doubles - Updates Needed

After playing about 100 team doubles matches here are my findings of things that need to be updated/tweaked. Feel free to add your findings to the list.

  1. H2A game types say team slayer but sometimes it’s BR start and sometimes it is AR. Please clarify titles and increase BR start probability.
  2. It feels like 3 out of 4 H2C are smg start. Please increase the probability of H2C having BR starts because SMG is just so unbalanced for 2s and it is first in the list. H3 has a balanced mix of AR/BR for example.
  3. Why are H3 objectives only AR start? Has anyone seen an H3 objective type with BR starts?
  4. Why is halo 4 the only one that always has BR starts in the title? The only halo where we can choose a starting weapon is the one you default to BR LOL (not that H4 ever wins the vote!)
  5. Do we really need radar for 2s? The maps are so small that finding people shouldn’t be an issue. No radar would give the team without power weapons a better chance to come back.

I usually get BR starts in H2C, but I truly agree with everything you posted. They also need to randomize the voting options, and add more maps to Halo 3’s arsenal of maps to play on in doubles. I would like to see Epilogue, Vessel, Construct, Foundry, Black Out, Ghost Town, Cold Storage and maybe Isolation added to the rotation. I’m tired of mainly playing Heretic when Halo 3 pops up.

Also, they should update the playlist to include HCE and change the HCE playlist to a higher player count.

SMG and AR starts should just be removed completely.

I agree, but I’m going to give them some time because they just brought doubles back permanently.

nah leave ce 2v2 and its own… so people that liek e can play it because ce never wins votes- see team slayer now for example.

Also, please let halo 3 have the first vote slot or have random vote slots… i hate when H2 wins with smg start on beaver creek where there are 2 BRs on entire map…

I wish that was a realistic possibility but we sadly have to accept that it isn’t.

I’ve noticed that whenever H2 Anniversary is in the first voting slot in Doubles it’s always BR starts. But, yeah, they should probably label the game-type.

Additionally, all of the Halo 3 Doubles objective game-types are AR starts. Objective game types should never be AR starts. Ever.

I love the idea of adding/rotating map variants but am unsure about voting randomization because I like halo 4 being in the last slot lol

Halo 4 never has a chance now, and I doubt it will if voting randomization was implemented. It’s just the matter of H2C/A ALWAYS winning if a team wants to play it.
