Where is Team Doubles?
I was very surprised Team Doubles was not in the release of the game, but I’m also stunned that it’s been this long already and still no Team Doubles. Team Doubles is part of the foundation of Halo multiplayer. It’s a favorite and loved playlist by many. I can’t see why 343 would not put it into the game.
If the issue is map size, then why not put forged maps into the map selection? There are tons of great forged maps and even re-makes of past maps that were in Team Doubles that could be played on. Such as the Pit, Sanctuary, Narrows and Warlock re-makes. Even so, the “small” maps in Halo 4 such as Haven, Adrift, Abandon and Solace could EASILY be implemented into Team Doubles. Sprint is a default in the game now, so it makes it easier and quicker to get around larger maps now so these four maps would be okay for Team Doubles.
There really is no excuse for it to not be in the game. I know for a fact it would have a good population and people would play it regularly. I know I would, because myself and a lot of other players play Doubles a lot. It’s really the only playlist I play.
It’s a huge disappointment that one of the most played playlists is not in Halo 4, along with a bunch of other playlists left out such as MLG and regular FFA. It’s going to be a let down if me and my doubles partner can’t play doubles since we have been for about 4 years now.
