First let me say that team dubs is my absolute favorite playlist from halo 3.
But, IMO Team Dubs (like the rest of halo 4) is a major failure
I played 4 matches by myself today and got pissed off and turned off halo.
Match No. 1: went into lobby, got matched up with dubs pro. stomped the other team and they quit out half way thru
Match No. 2: got stuck playing infinity slayer (more like fiesta -Yoink!- slayer), stomped the other team and they quit halfway thru
Match No, 3: stayed with my partner from match 2, game started as a 1 vs 1 instead of finding us opponents. He got a teammate immediately, I got one 5 minutes into it. Barely lost and it was stupid.
Match No. 4: joined playlist by myself, got JiP’d into a match with a guy losing, we caught up after I joined in but it was too late and we lost.
If I had joined with a partner to begin with, I think the problem of the other team quitting would have been worse, cause we would have stomped even harder.
There is no penalty for quitting, thus people bail out when things go bad. If there is no visible rank, there is no reason to try and no reason not to quit.
Like halo 4, dubs fails too and its a shame cause its my favorite way to play
Lol, Dubs is currently the best playlist in the game. Just be happy you have JIP, or else half of the games would be -Yoink- with people quitting. On top of that, the things you’re complaining about are the same as tehy were in every other Halo.
I personally have had fun with team doubles in the couple of games that I played. The maps have been made smaller, the weapons are on respawn timers, etc.
I don’t understand how the other team quitting is a byproduct of this game. Yes, in Halo 2-3 there was a penalty for quitting, but it was the same as if you just lost the match. In Halo 4 quitting is actually discouraged more so based on the fact that there is a quit ban and you still gain xp from losing, so I don’t see what you’re getting at here.
The railgun is fine. Now you’re just complaining to complain. Not everyone uses it well.
when dubs was in halo 2/3 it was ranked. when you lost a game you didn’t always derank, when you quit you almost always did. if people had a reason not to quit (RANK) then i wouldn’t have to deal with every match i play being pointless because of others quitting constantly. if we had ranked, i would also be matched up with people of closer skill, thus i wouldn’t have to deal with quitters in the first place.
don’t get me wrong, dubs is currently the best playlist 343 is offering, it is just a mockery of what it should be because of its implementation.
> The railgun is fine. Now you’re just complaining to complain. Not everyone uses it well.
I’m not complaining cause I’m getting killed to often with it, I think its just too powerful or maybe has too much ammo, I find it less fun when I am constantly decimating my opponents with it. Maybe if they removed the indicator it would seem more balanced.

if i went in with a teammate, i would have stomped my opponents even harder, thus they would have quit faster.

It doesn’t get that much ammo. It gets 6 with the ammo mod, and you aren’t usually going to get a kill with each shot. I don’t know how much it gets otherwise, but it really isn’t that much. It’s no more powerful than the rocket launcher would be, but then again I don’t remember if that was ever in doubles before.

RL was always in dubs. it had 2 shots, less ammo is more in dubs
The only things wrong with doubles are instant-respawn and radar. Everything else is great, 343 even fixed personal ordnance to make it a bit more balanced.
when ranks come out and you reach ur fitty then you wont get ppl quittin cause they will b3 wit liek minded decent ppl like you, til den just play with ur friend and search with him/her.

> Btw, there is a penalty for quitting…
JIP is terrible. Who in their right mind wants to start up a search for a game and join a match where you are already losing and the enemy has all the power weapons?
If my teammate quits then only I should suffer. No point making one persons idiocy (the quitter) make a bad experience for 2 people instead of just one other. If anything they should make JIP games you join just not count against your stats/rank.
I’ve only played two games so far. Both were with a good friend and we had fun. I like no radar, weapon spawns, and no instant respawn on pro. Also, no AA’s was great. Less variables, more classic Halo feel. The two forged maps were pretty cool as well.
