I know SWAT and Snipers were ranked in Halo 3, but I always felt that they should be social.
this for halo 4? you need to double that for social and ranked "standard" and "upgraded" halo

12 would be better. We do not need Living Dead, needs special variants, not stock maps. Oh and definetly needs custom game types, not the default shit we were offered in Halo 3 and Reach.
Would Team Hardcore be something with limited lives? Would love such gametype.
EDIT i'd like Social SWAT as well, if Halo 4's SWAT feels more or less like Halo 3's, it'd be fun to play with my friend (guest).

Wonder if possible though, would be cool.
I have a pretty good idea on what Halo 4's playlists will look like
Core:
Team Deathmatch (TDM) (12 players)
Mercenary (MERC) (12 players)
Free-for-All (FFA) (8 players, smaller maps)
Domination (DOM) (12 players)
Ground War (GW) (18 players, larger maps)
Demolition (DEMO) (12 players)
Sabotage (SAB) (12 players)
Headquarters (HQ) (12 players)
Capture the Flag (CTF) (12 players)
Search and Destroy (SnD) (12 players)
Team Tactical (TEAM TAC) (12 players)
Barebones:
Pure (No Perks, Killstreaks, Attachments, Equipment, or Contracts) (12 players)
Classic (Killstreaks at 3, 5 and 7) (12 players)
Team Tactical (Pure version with mixed bag of objective modes) (12 players)
Hardcore:
Team Deathmatch (TDM) (12 players)
Search and Destroy (SnD) (12 players)
Headquarters (HQ) (12 players)
Free-for-All (FFA) (8 players)

Am not. Easily the most efficient way, going by game time, medals earned, and credits paid out.
(then again I am the fucking man at Grifball, so your experiences may differ)
It's not like it's impossible to put a filter on the server names.
Attention everyone: Ryan is good at getting host and jumping and swinging.
Draft him for your MLG teams NOW.
Can you spare some of that salt?

How about they just bring BTB back to the Halo 3 glory days
Teams of 8 should match other teams of 8. CTF, Assault, Slayer. Defined bases, not undefined play spaces (Spire, Boneyard, etc).

I'll be on for a bit this weekend, but it's not like anyone else will be...
Might as well kill off BTB and be done with it.
Well, Halo 3 BTB is far, far better than that shit in Reach. At least it was great before fucking Heavies were added (in Halo 3)...
Dunno 'bout Halo 2 BTB, too long since i played it. If i played, can't remember anymore.

Ah, a clever troll.
Well I can agree that pre-Heavies H3 BTB was better than Reach BTB, but I would say Halo 2 BTB were the glory days.

I used to play with teams of 8, and you would do your best to match with other teams of 8 by backing out of the Player Found screen when anything less than 8 players would drop at once.
Standoff CTF games could go the entire 15 minutes without a single cap. Nail biters. BTB in Reach is now yuks and no one gives a crap.
Rumble Pit
Team Slayer
Team Hardcore
Big Team Battle
Team SWAT
Team Doubles
Multi Team
what the hell is going on with her left arm
Objective has never been popular in any online console Halo title.

As i said, i cannot say anything about that.
Making good BTB for Halo 4 shouldn't be hard:
Good large maps, no medium sized maps for BTB (that one map in Reach whose name i don't remember, starts with B?, not Boneyard though it is shit as well)
BR/comparable weapon starts
No Heavies
No unbalanced vehicles
No stupid game modes, just Slayer, CTF (neutral?, two Flag, one Flag?) and Assault (Neutral, two Bomb?, one Bomb?)
wait, what?
I didn't catch that gif the first go around.. caught me off guard

1 flag on relic
1 bomb on terminal
Gulch wars on coagulation
2 flag on waterworks
1 flag on burial mounds
1 bomb on headlong
2 flag on containment
BTB slayer on colossus
So good. I really wanna see the BTB maps for H4.
Yep, I agree with you 100%. Specifically on the map sizes. The fact that they use medium-sized maps isn't even the big problem, it's the fact that they feel it's necessary to throw in a fucking Banshee or 10 different vehicles on said map, and use crazy gametypes no one is interested in.
Sounds nice but why doesn't it have Two Bombs, Neutral Bomb or Neutral Flag?
Still, even without those this is what i'd love to see in Halo 4 playlists, no voting, no bad gametype/map combos, just perfection.
Banshee wouldn't be an issue if it is properly balanced, not the death machine it is in Reach. Halo 3's was a bit too good but close to well balanced?

It did, but these were my picks, some of the most memorable gametypes/matches for me.

Wasn't there some KotH in BtB? 3 Plots?
Banshee has never been balanced IMO, but it was far less of a problem in Halo 3 mostly due to the fact that they gave you Spartan Lasers in Halo 3. They really should have added Lasers into Reach, oh wait.
