So when I got the game my favorite game mode was dominion. Since then it has been pulled out and added in many times but recently it has not shown its face. I would love to get the helmets and armor for victories, and to just play the game in general. Is there any specific reason why it isn’t permanently on the playlist, after all it is one of the original game modes and can be played in forge and custom games.
Halo 4’s population couldn’t sustain a playlist for every game type. It was a great idea on paper, and I’d like to see it return in some different form in another Halo game. But it wasn’t working for Halo 4. 343 decided to remove the low population ones and put them into a semi-weekly rotational spot.
Shame, too, because I thought Dominion was absolutely the tops in Halo 4. The last time it came around in rotation, it had a smaller version (it felt like “loadout dominion”) on custom maps with fewer power weapons and vehicles. It was intense, some of the most intense Halo I’ve ever played since 2001. I recommend hopping in the next time it comes up.

What? Whenever Dominion was introduced it was always in the top 5 populated playlists. It has nothing to do with low population, its just that it is now a rotational playlist and only available for 2 weeks at a time. The only reason it wasn’t as popular last time was because it was a 4v4 “light” version on 3 Forge maps, rather than its usual 6v6 on the bigger better maps.

I’m glad you guys got to play it. Every time I want to play Dominion, it’s never back, and when I seem to always get on, the Dominion rotation has begun. IT sucks.
Hopefully dominion light can release sometime in September or October before MCC releases.
Having dominion removed contributed to at least one player not wanting to play anymore.
it’s simple 343 doesn’t want people to get the commidations
> Having dominion removed contributed to at least one player not wanting to play anymore.
That was me, I was so excited to see that Dominion was coming back for a week. A couple of my friends were planning to play too. Imagine our surprise when we saw Dominion Light, I can safely say without a doubt that I hated it and just wanted the original back.

Worst conspiracy theory ever.
Guys, if you want Dominion back so badly then just tweet at the Halo devs! I’d like to see Dominion light make its last return before MCC this November.
Dominion light, please come back before Nov. 11
Best playlist.

If 343 wanted to remove low population playlists, why was Proving Ground still an option? It only had a maximum of 54 players on it at any given time. Dominion could’ve easily replaced that and the community would have rejoiced!
I never understood why they took it out cause now their is no way to get the commando helmet 
Dominion wasn’t even doing the worst or even that bad when they removed it.
This is still my favourite gametype and I hope it returns as it was before.
343 confuses me when it comes to playlists.
Bring back dominion! The single best play list that launched with halo 4. It was by far my favorite and want to play it more. Get rid of some of the other boring lists with low population and bring this back.

Replacing one low population playlist with another isn’t really helping 
I left Halo 4 for awhile and just came back a few days ago. Didn’t even realize Dominion was missing; I forgot all about it. It was one of my favorite gametypes so I’m sad now…

And keeping a low populated playlist isn’t helping either.
If it’s got commendations, it should have a playlist – period. Even if it’s a shared playlist, like Team Objective.
