I just don’t see the point not even for low populations or when there updating a playlist.
I want to know this too! First they take out team Snipers and now they took hardcore away!! :[
Its like they want us to play other games or something by taking away peoples favorite playlists 
So they can add in new ones, while adjusting the ones they remove to be re-added later.
With Halo 4, their aim was to streamline the playlists, so they can’t have too many at once.
Team Snipers was removed due to it being a rotational playlist and the population wasn’t high enough to keep it in for another week.
SWAT has been in since the start, despite it being a rotational playlist, because it manages to hold 10,000 or more players during peak times, while other playlists can’t.
Slayer Pro was removed as the Matchmaking team weren’t happy with its outcome and wants time to update the settings, and re-add it back in 2013.
As for King of the Hill’s removal, it is only temporary, with both rotational playlists (SWAT & Team Regicide) at the time, being extremely popular, they removed KoTH to let them stay for another week.
Because it would decrease the population in other playlists, making search times longer.
I want snipers back but I do not like weapon itself and I don’t like the maps. I would like to see Multi-Team, FFA slayer, Maybe some Team Doubles, and a 6 v 6 playlist.
they also took out king of the hill!! why!!!
Its all part off the ongoing Beta test.
343 literally has no idea how to manage the Halo community.
They’re failing. Miserably.

BS, Snipers had a higher population than Regicide, or Flood, or the DLC playlist. Heck the DLC list has like 500 people in it right now. And it’s funny that Halo 3 has more playlists up right now than this game.

Really? They are?
That’s not what the numbers are showing. So they are doing it right, they’re not doing what YOU want to do. Let’s be honest.
OT: They are rotational playlists. SWAT stuck around because it’s pulling high numbers. The other playlists? I haven’t seen high consistent activity on.
