So… The Team Objective playlist’s population is horrible, why do you think that is?
personally, I think regicide plays too much like slayer, but I’m not to crazy about some of 343s settings in oddball and KOTH either.
What say you?

TBH? i haven’t touched it because i don’t have a team. Sure i have friends that have halo 4 but they are never all on at the same time. I like everything they have done to CTF oddball KOTH what have you. But i agree team regicide should be removed. I like the gametype itself. (VIP of sorts) but it just feels out of place in team obj.
Regicide is a confusing gametype.
It plays more like VIP without the VIP settings. All it is, seems to be “Kill this guy, he’s momentarily special”. No extra shields, no one hit melee, nothing that helps out the guy who just became Spartan’s Most Wanted.
It also doesn’t play like the concept game that inspired it.
(Which was the King was the lead scorer on the enemy team, who would have a way point above his head, and you got more points for killing him).
The game just doesn’t seem fun to me, not in its current form.
I would rather it encompass all objective games. Regicide can stay, but I want to play some CTF and 2-plot Extraction on maps not designed for BTB.
What I would really like to see the return of is Onslaught, even in its current Oddball Variant form.
Onslaught actually requires good team work to pull off, and we have several good arena style maps that could be used for it.
It would also be a good use of the Player Maps.
personally i dont have a team and im just more worried about knocking out my slayer victory commendation first. also my dominion is really high but things like oddball and KOTH just seem too much of a hassle without a team right now.
Doesn’t really seem like there is much commonality between reasons yet. 
I’m really trying to discover the cure for team objective, so it’s no longer the least popular playlist(besides dlc).
I don’t like 4v4 games. There is nothing wrong with them, but its just not my thing.
My solution is to separate the Objective variants again and raise them to 5v5. Next rotate the objectives every week on a regular scheduled basis. The schedule should always be available from the main website.
Where is the JiP (Joke in Progress) option? I don’t like being thrown into a game down three flag caps, nor do I like being taken from a full after match lobby to another such game.
I can’t speak for everyone,but for me I just don’t like objective games in general,too much to worry about,for me,it’s not as fun as gunnding down enemies and getting some points for it.
if it was 8vs8 i might play it often.
There is no option for me to vote. I simply don’t really like objective gametypes. Never have.
To the folks who don’t like objective in general: I am out of voting options to add. But I also opted not to have that as a response, because even if objective was perfect, you guys probably still would’t play objective often. Since my purpose is to add to the objective population, that information isn’t essential to my poll. Sorry if I made you feel left out.
as for JIP: joining into a losing team is an issue in every playlist besides throwdown, so, again, I didn’t find that it had specific relevance to increasing the population of objective. Also CTF has a healthy population yet it is also an objective gametype with JIP. So that really seems more like a solution to the game overall and not to this specific problem. Thanks for your input, though!
I play it but 343i got rid of my favourite old gametypes!
I dont play objetives since CTF have Infinity settings and (yes OMG) instant respawn.
And is full of ratio rats too nobody care about the victory. H4 objetives havent sense for me.

The real question is “why don’t the objective players play Team Objective?” since each playlist pulls in more regular people separately than than they do together.
I would play Team Objective a hell of a lot more if people would stop voting for KOTH! That game type is terrible now, love oddball though.
…been moved to the matchmaking forum… 
DON’T FORGET MEEE!!!
…but seriously I hope I get more feedback before the yellow arrow goes away and I get stuck in matchmaking with no one to give me their thoughts…

This is what needs to happen, CTF excluded.

CTF is usually more default settings than Infinity, and neither uses instant respawn.
Objective will always be less popular because people enjoy mindless killing more.
That said, I don’t know. Other playlists have objective gametypes, I used to just go to Throwdown for objective games, but now throwdown is dying and is plagued by people quitting.
Also, KoTH doesn’t come up very often but oddball and regicide are voted for constantly, so rarely get to play KoTH.
