Multi Team would be the same as Halo 3 (teams of 2).
Mine would be.
Infinity Slayer
Infinity Objective
Hardcore (no radar, mixed slayer and obj)
BTB (mixed slayer and obj)
Rumble Pit (95% slayer)
Head to Head
Double team
Team Classic (mixed slayer and obj, stripped down version)
Squad (6v6 mixed slayer and obj)
Isn't multi team 2v2v2v2 though? I'd prefer doubles to have its own playlist because 2v2 is a must in Halo. Always intense and competitive (unless you are playing brain dead noobs with guests)
I'd be okay with that. Only reason I put in Swat and Snipes is because the community would rage so hard if it wasn't in lol. 1v1 playlist could be a lot of fun
Eh, true. I'd be cool with its return, as long as no guests are allowed.

IMO stick swat/snipes/livingdead and griffball all in the same playlist.
Or at least Swat/snipes in one playlist and livingdead/griffball in their own.

Yeah, Team Doubles is pretty essential, in my opinion. It's one of my favorite lists.
I'd be okay with that as well. To be honest, my personal ideal playlist setup would just be Team Slayer, Team Objective, Big Team Battle, and Rumble Pit. However, that obviously wouldn't go well if that were the actual set, haha.
Huh, I had no idea that people cared about that playlist. themoreyouknow.jpg
My ideal launch playlist:
4v4 Slayer
Infinity Slayer
Team Hardcore
Team Doubles
4v4 Specific/Specialty Slayer
Snipers
Swat
6v6 Objective/Slayer weighing for slayer/objective should be 50/50(atleast at first)
Squad Battle
Team Classic(If it absolutely "has to be a playlist")
Objective
Team Objective
Big Team Battle
---------------------------------------------------
Weekend Exp. BK Bonanza Fun time
Action Sack
Grifball
Living Dead
4v4 Slayer
Infinity Slayer
Team Hardcore
Team Doubles
4v4 Specific/Specialty Slayer
Snipers
Swat
6v6 Objective/Slayer weighing for slayer/objective should be 50/50(atleast at first)
Squad Battle
Team Classic(If it absolutely "has to be a playlist")
Objective
Team Objective
Big Team Battle

Yeah, probably. Same as this guy:
That is terrifying.
This happened to me in one of my first games of the Beta, me and an enemy sprint into each other and just die. It was great.
I <3 Double Team.
LOL, I just spent the last match in H3 BTB trolling the Juices of the world with far-less-than-cinematic framerates.
Most our team quit so, me and this one random got like a 5 point lead then got both Elephants stuck in the exploded scarab.
The framerate tanks to about 3 Frames per second while the game speed remains constant, rendering the whole thing unplayable.
Meanwhile, the elephants are stuck and won't respawn completely ruining the game for everyone else.
There are a lot of uninitiated players in Halo 3, becuase, oh man, the mic chatter was hilarious.
Collect 5 point victory. Make yourself a sandwich. prepare for 10 minutes of mic madness.
IDK how this shit got past test and the 1.1 patch since it's been done since like the first week the game was out, but at this point it's just too funny.

No shit, right?
Or it could have been a story about how we spent a good 10 minutes wandering around sandtrap because our teammates quit.

..or you could've quit.. ;]
where would the fun be in that? This social game was ruined from the outset, so could the other team.
A more accurate .GIF would be one where the cake disappears/quits a couple frames in.

That's literally what every discussion about Halo 4 MM has been about in this thread for the past few months.
Never gonna happen and I don't think it's a good idea. People should be allowed to play online MP with friends if they come over.
Now, limiting guests to social playlists, that would be a good idea. (edit: this is assuming there is any kind of ranked/social division of playlists, which I'm starting to doubt there will be)
Halo 3 managed it well with Social and Ranked playlists. No, I am not going into the whole ranked playlist arugment again.
Does any game still do DXP weekends? The last I remember for sure was MW2.
Either way, I would rather have all the Living-Dead/Grifballers in their own fulltime playlist.
I doubt it'll happen too, but I disagree. Guests didn't pay for the game like I did (most likely and if they did, they should go play on their own box or playlist). They shouldn't be able to ruin my experience so easily.
This can be allieviated somewhat by having better matchmaking when guests are involved and also keeping them to a few playlists. I feel this is totally fair and also very imperative.

I'd prefer they populate the other playlist, that is if(343 willing) there is some kind of ranked structured system in place. Those playlists are mostly used for stat-padding and challenge completing.
Ought to be able to filter for it. Like, an actual, honest to God filter. The stuff in Reach never worked.
You ought to be able to filter for players with mics as well. Imagine full teams of similarly skilled players with no guests and the ability to actually talk.

This made me laugh hard.Yeah, probably. Same as this guy:
I think it's hilarious he is still playing after all that bulkshit. Did you guys Trounce him? Hopefully your remembered to j-hook hour headshots.
Me too. Regaedless of those people liking the playlists, they take away from "real" Halo. I'd much rather weekend playlists return for those weird gametypes.
There would be a huge outcry if they banned guests entirely. Sure the guest didn't pay for the game, but the main account holder did, and if they want to play it with a guest when they have friends over they should be able to IMO.
I understand the annoyance of having a really bad guest on your team but I think it's unreasonable to think that they should be banned from matchmaking entirely.
I myself occasionally have friends over who are not great at FPS games but I still like to play with them in non-competitive playlists like multi-team.
Edit: Best case scenario is that we have ranked playlists and that they do not allow guests in them. I would be quite happy with that.

I swear that happens every other game in Reach.
Edit: With regards to guests, I think something where if someone brought a guest into matchmaking, the game prioritized others with guests for their lobby. That way, you would usually end up with lobbies where everyone has a guest (and they're not ruining other people's playtime), but guests aren't barred from any playlist at the same time.
Don't count on it.
I'd be ok with that if it actually worked. I'd (un)check that shit day one and never ever look back.
I personally wouldn't care about an outcry and I'd be on the otherside rejoicing. Plenty of games these days don't allow guests or limit them to cetain areas. I get yiur point but I still disagree. Just because they paid too doesn't mean they should be abke to infringe on mh pkaying.
You are most likely right though about the outcry and I don't see it happening. Just posting my dream scenario. See my other posts above for alternate solutions.
Watching through the Halo 3 most-relevant/top-viewed Bungie Pro archives is awesome.
So many cool clips in there. You find a lot of trolling or amazing shots or plain stupid stuff and the best just bubbles to the top instead of being picked out by a couple people like RoosterTeeth's fails or other Youtube series.
Plus, Halo 3 just seems ripe with hilarious stuff.
I wish Reach's system were better. They could allow you to watch rendered videos in the lobby and vote them to the top.
Because trolling social.
wut
EDIT: You mean if you compare them side by side at 2'ish years in?

He was on our team.
If they absolutely have to have guests the following should(ideally) happen:
- Those with guests are matched with guests
- Guests are assigned a temporary rank/trueskill/whatever that excels either upward or downward based on their last game. This would allow those with guests to get matched up with players around them and their guests skill level... ideally.
It's amazing how one can throw an Xbox out the window because of a certain video game, and end up playing the same game a year later.
And I had totally forgot about him until you just mentioned him. Wahrer, be taking notes on the legacy of "Trouncing an Xbox" for your HaloGAF movie.

Doubles is the most important playlist.
I'd kill for #'s 1, 10, 11, 25 and 27. Would excite me more than most of what I've seen so far, sadly.
Did he poop on you all?
Nah, same team. Was a super nice dude except for starting the match, "Oh it's you faggots from gaf!"

That tree is all OM NOM NOM.
My Halo honor only extends past the first few quiters.
What's the other thing called? An Albatross? I wanna see that thing in Halo 4.
Relic/Sandtrap REMAKE.
Its a phantom not a scarab

The thing is, though, I believe several of those have already been gotten in Reach/promised in 4, such as #28. I think there may be a few others.
AROOGA AROOGA!
I want Ranked/Social split like Halo 3. Was perfect.
I don't think Doubles is returning...thanks to the country sized maps.

Trounce has a new Xbox and Reach ? lol
Computron H3 having framerate issues. I'm sorry I just cannot believe that. Your story must be false you liar.

Just brainstorming here: Trounce could be Jorge in the video. Just shop an xbox in front of noble six. :lol
You wanna see it in 60 FPS glory? Open up a tight corridor map like orbital with a recorded theatre film in which there are very few players or movement, hold down the play button for at least 2x playback speed and cruise around the map.
Theatre mode unlocks the framerate if you do this, and in a lot of places you can get 60 fps. I was hoping to record some footage like this and add some nice after effects magic to get it silky smooth.
It's nowhere near stable enough to be playable that way, especially with a lot of player interaction as in multiplayer, so a Bioshock style frame unlocker would not be a good idea.
Honestly though, Halo 3 is %95+ above the 30 frames cap. Halo Reach has several consistent issues with certain areas of maps that should have been ironed out in testing though, I would agree.
