1) Why is this playlist and swat rotational? There is literally no point in that. Playlists that should be out in the next week and should be semi permanent:
Team Swat
Team Snipers
Team Slayer
Team Slayer Pro
Team Objective
Team Doubles
FFA
Regicide
2) Why are the only maps in team snipers big team maps? Snipers needs to have haven, abandon, solace, and even adrift in there.
They should take out the current playlists add them and keep oddball and king bu thats never going to happen
They should have the playlists that are in my first point. Everybody agrees and it shouldn’t be too difficult to do.
> 1) Why is this playlist and swat rotational
Because their populations in Reach weren’t great and having them 24/7 pulls those players out of other playlists while simutaneously devaluing their experience because you have them 24/7.

Because that’s what you do with a Sniper: You snipe.
Not running around trying to no scope kiddies at close/mid range. Because that’s not sniping.
Edit: And yes. I am the guy who voted no. Come at me bros.
That was Halo Reach. If we compare Halo 4 to Reach, the game is already finished.
Not true. The sniper is used from all ranges. Very few people like sniping on large maps other than Ragnarok. Don’t run around trying to no scope them? I don’t try, I do. And thats also what the sniper is for. Maybe leave out adrift, but thats it. It’s still sniping even if it is close range.
They definitely need to add more maps than just BTB and make it perm.
Pull people from other playlists?
Listen to yourself.
Stop defending 343.
The two top playlists pull people from EVERYTHING else as well am I right??
Obvious is obvious.
I thought this is about adding some changes to the Team Sniper playlist but instead you’re saying SWAT and sniper should be permanent. That and you want them to add and change playlists to a new list. And one thing that buged me was Team Objective. Are you saying you want to condense all Obhective playlists into one? No way not gonna happen not like this or am i missing something about it.

In the long run having so many playlists for just 1 objective on each is BS. My guess is they are doing this to collect in player data better from each objective typ etc, this is due to all the major changes they have done to each Ojective type. This way they will know a little bit better what they should do/fix when they add them all in to one big objective playlist.
I feel like the game has been out long enough for them to change up the playlists to long term quality playlists.
“Because their populations in Reach weren’t great and having them 24/7 pulls those players out of other playlists while simutaneously devaluing their experience because you have them 24/7.”
I hope you weren’t meaning Swat and Snipers had low populations, because Swat was always one of the most populated playlists, snipers was even usually pretty good but not as packed as Swat. Only playlists that ever had more was Team Slayer or Living Dead.
It would be nice if they’d just give us all of our playlists at once instead of waiting 9 months. I’d like to play some Multi Team or Team Doubles now, I’m many others would like to play Mlg or Grifball, maybe even Action Sack. Hopefully they’ll have their -Yoink- together by Christmas, otherwise they’re going to have a lot of pissed off peeps.
Agree. Team Snipers needs to be Permanent. Along with other playlists that are not added yet (Dubs etc.) The only playlists that need to be rotated in and out in my opinion would be anniversary/experimental playlists that we have yet to see such as Seventh on the Seventh (Halo 3) and others I do not remember could be rotated in and out. Usually never play them anyways 
I agree with the selection of maps. They should include smaller maps to have varied gameplay rather than actual ‘long-range’ sniping the entire time.
Is beam rifle even a pick up gun? If not the gametypes broken anyways, I was so happy to get it back it’s a shame they bungied it up and put the alien guns(half the sandbox) in the back seat.

I like how you want to tell players what they should play even if what they actually want won’t be in matchmaking the next week.
If they’re gone they won’t relocate to the other playlists, they’ll just find an other game to play. One that doesn’t restrict their enjoyment based on statistics.
Gears 3 has a classic playlists that pulls just a few hundred players at all times but they’re not taking it out because it provides an experience a few players enjoy.
Three things.
Killcams. Get rid of them. Good luck sniping someone then not instantly being shot back because the person who you killed saw exactly where you were.
Instant respawn. This is a given. Snipers is not meant to be the most fast-paced type of game, so why include this other than to frustrate the people good enough to actually make kills (to then be instantly retaliated upon)?
Radar. It has no place in snipers. I can’t believe this was overlooked. Sniping is about being sneaky; how can you do that with radar? It’s silly.
Beam rifle would also be a cool addition but it doesn’t matter much. Snipers has never had the beam. Overall it’s a fun playlist, but those changes would vastly improve it in my opinion.
The radar is throwing me off. I can accept the map list, I can accept the weapons being just sniper, I can accept knock up from being hit by a sniper but radars? It just doesn’t feel right.
Flinch and Radar ruin the core of what Team snipers has been since 2001. You guys have reinvented the wheel so many times it is bordering on completely absurd.
If you want to steal something from Call of Duty next time, steal that thing where they get one working core formula that most everyone enjoys and they KEEP IT FOR A NUMBER OF GOOD TITLES. Halo has had its very soul tinkered with FOUR times now. Leave it ALONE. It WAS GOOD.
You guys need to realize change for the sake of change is only going to alienate your base, and your base is the group that keeps playing these games for years. Pulling a few stray CoD kids with this idiocy is only going to get you a temporary bump. They will dump you the instant something shinier comes out.
STOP IT.

Team Snipers has always been one of my favorite playlists but I won’t be playing it again until Haven, Abandon & Adrift are in.

This basically sums up what I have been thinking since Halo Reach and now even more so with Halo 4.
