I understand that SWAT remains because it’s dreadfully easy to get kills and everyone feels like it’s a gametype they can actually be good at, but why not let Team Snipes remain? I also understand that far less people play Team Snipes than SWAT. Even so, Team Snipes has always been rejected by many people due to the fact that it requires skill and is very competitive. 343 should have expected a smaller crowd than SWAT. SWAT is basically recreational compared to Snipes considering the difference in difficulty to get kills without assistance. Team Snipes had been one of my favorite gametypes despite the fact that I’m not the best at it. All I can do is hope that they’ll be improving Team Snipers and bringing it back later, I suppose. What a drag . . .
There is no perfect game or gametype. Even so, the least 343 can do is increase variety. They’re failing here too. Try not to disappoint us even further 343. Many of us still own your game. Please don’t let us regret that.

Team Snipers is Classic. I feel as if the only reason people reject it is not because of their lack of will to play it, but because of their lack of skill.
Well, they had to make room for another playlist. Slayer Pro wasn’t touched due to those competitive players wanting fair settings. Team Snipers was a great playlist, and I’ve matched against some teams that broke its teamwork meta-game down to a science. Good bye Team Snipers, hope we get to meet again!

What he said ALMOST could qualify as common sense. Not many people try to play the game competitively so they will get very upset when they get their -Yoink- whooped and never want to play team snipers again.
But COME ON 343! WHAT IS GOING THROUGH YOUR MINDS?
Gotta love the people that voted “I don’t play it, SO LET IT BE GONE”. I don’t play Infection yet you don’t see me saying let it be gone. Such ignorant people man I tell ya. You guys truly deserve to play this crap game.

That’s the confusion. Why kill variety? Besides, they don’t put playlists out for nothing. They remain or are removed based on the success they achieve. Snipers was less successful, but far from unsuccessful. It didn’t even have time to swing one way or another.

The real question is why they need to make room… Would leaving Snipers up cause that many problems? Honestly the community of people that play Classic FFA and Snipers are quite different. I don’t think they would be cutting into each other IMO
343 removed pretty much every single one of my favorite game types. Rumble pit, one flag, assault, Double team, Multi team, Juggernaut, Invasion and Race. Real Team slayer doesn’t even exist.
On top of all this they managed to screw up custom games. No customizable loadouts for the flood? Are you kidding me?
Fat kid, Trash compactor, Jenga tower and Halo on Halo are all gone.
Instead of focusing on ADDING stuff to the already great game, they decided to replace as much as possible. Not a great move exactly.
IN MY OPINION, what they need to do is combine Oddball, CTF, and KotH. If they did this then they would not have to worry about the population being spread thin over many different playlists.
I am truly baffled by how 343 is handling Halos multiplayer.
> Team snipers was terrible. The majority of the time everyone would sit behind a rock for the full game.
But… that’s how you play TS. It’s not a game type where you go running out to the middle of the map. If you don’t have cover and wait for a victim to appear then you are the victim.
Seems like any low populated game type will be eliminated from the list. If anything they should merge it with another game type so at least it’s still available.
> Team snipers was terrible. The majority of the time everyone would sit behind a rock for the full game.
Just think of all those wars in real life… where the sniper was hiding away behind a rock waiting for their target before killing him and having nobody know where it came from…
Total waste of time… they should have just ran up to him with the sniper and shot him that way!
