IT BEGINS.
What begins?
Hell naw I ain''t saying that, I don't wanna get kidnapped.
Nice, I've never had a no-slow controller, are they actually as good and useful as everyone says?
Nothing. I was just late.

Christ, are people that have friends in real life not allowed to have fun too? D:
I'm joking, but... really, I'm tempted to say that Halo is never more fun than when you're annihilating Team Objective on 4 player splitscreen. I know it's annoying when you play five games in a row with nothing but scrubs and their guests for team-mates, but the solution is good matchmaking -- I'm dismayed to see that so many people would actually think it's wise to effectively remove guests from matchmaking. Boo. That would be disastrous, for me and for Halo 4.
That is basically the best solution. The only problem is that if we aren't going to get ranked playlists... it doesn't really work.
Ranked and Social playlists. Social playlists allow guests. Problem solved
They are pretty nice, easy to make yourself too, it just makes sure that all parts of the analog stick are moving at 100% so it doesn't mess up your aiming.

Make Team Training have Slayer and Objective gametypes, restrict guests to that, done
Yeah, playing Halo on splitscreen with a friend is what make Halo Halo, at least for me. Limiting what i can play with my friend would effectively kill the game for me.
Ranked/Social split is good solution, as long as not all playlists are replicated, needlessy.
Only one playlists with guests would be horrible, especially if it is a mix of Slayer and Objective. At very least there needs to be a Slayer and Objective list allowing guests, no mixing them.
For reaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll
Another simple thing to "solve" the guest "problem" would be to give players checkbox, by default you accept MM to match you with guests, you can disable that but it will still match you with guests if no other results are possible.
Most people probably would leave it on, i know i would because there's equal chance the enemy team has guests... easy kills for me.
EDIT one thing i wonder, with the unlock system, how are guest "unlocks" done? The same system as in Black Ops, ie the guest starts with the hosts unlocks and then continues ranking up from that point? Or something else?

Here's what i think.
Infinity
im speculating conquest is that gametype from those leaked screenshots. the one with A, B, and C.
Classic
Community
EDIT:
actually like this. i'd leave it on too. i don't really see any problems with guests, but i know others do.
Infinity
- Rumble pit (slayer, Krazy king, Regicide, Juggernaut, oddball)
- Slayer (5 v 5)
- BTB (8 v 8 slayer, 2 flag/ 1 flag, bomb, territories/conquest. no fucking heavies for the love of god)
- Squad Battle (6 v 6 slayer, territories/conquest) (bro spawning?)
- Multi Team (2v2v2v2 Slayer, Multi-Flag, Mongoose rocket race, Krazy King, oddball)
- Capture the Flag (5 v 5?)

Classic
- Team Skirmish (4 v 4 slayer, 2 flag, KOTH, oddball)
- Doubles (slayer)
- Team SWAT
- Snipers
Community
- Cartographers
- MLG/hardcore
- Double Exp (Living dead, griffball, fiesta, etc.)

Make Conquest like domination and i would be happy with it.
Something like this is a must for Halo 4. How often do people get together to play with guests anyway? I only do it once or twice a year, but that could be due to my age. Still, guests totally ruin my experience everytime. I don't want to play with them unless I too have some in which case I should be limited to a playlist two.

i just put them in there because i think it is inevitable. should they have their own playlist? no. will they? yes.
Domination would be pretty fun in Halo, possibly more fun than KOTH... But I hate KOTH so...
I dunno about that. They're incredibly popular. Whatever playlist they get put into will be dominated by them. At that point you've basically made a SWAT/Snipers/Stuff Nobody Will Ever Vote Hard Enough to Play list.
You might be able to get away with a Team Tactical playlist consisting of just those two, but anything else will get eclipsed by them.
Also, folks listing wishlists that include two Big Team playlists: Just know that one of them will be dead in a month if you do that. Halo has never been able to viably support two of them.
Yes, and in Halo 2 as well. Fantastic gametype when it's on a map that suits it.

Guests are a finicky subject, considering their popularity. This is fairly late in the generation though, so I feel minimising what they can be used in is fairer than it would have been previously.

Wasnt it called 3 plots in halo reach?
Isn't SWAT always one of the most populous playlists?
No idea. I've only played Territories or any other variation of it once.

3 Plots is its own thing, and has been for a long time
get with the program ragnarok

Only time I can remember Territories being fun ever was Halo 3. Fond Memories of that on Valhalla

Territories with offensive and defensive rounds not domination type
Yeah I debated on that one. 3 FFA is too many, to be sure. And Infinity/non-Infinity adds playlists. Arg.
good god Turf was so awesome.3 Plots is its own thing, and has been for a long time
get with the program ragnarok
Sometimes.
Make it like Fracas suggested also an option for prefered settings:
Would you like to play with guests?
[ ]Yes
[X] No
Way late to the party, but I wanted to comment on this - I was just thinking about it a couple of days ago. I'm a mediocre sniper, at best - Reach is the first game where the sniper rifle is more useful to me as a gun than a club. If I'm playing alone, and I pick up a sniper, I can kill a few people... but if I'm playing with a team, and folks are actually calling out targets for me, my kill rate goes WAY up. Same gun, same lousy shooter... much better results.
Yeah, but think about how annoyed you get when they're on YOUR team.

padding stats, not really "playing" the game, going through the motions, multiple host changes, rage quits, pretty much making a mockery of the game
Three Plots shined so hard on it. Among my favorite map/game type pairings ever.
Any particular map/gametype combos particularly shine in Halo 4?
Turf remake confirmed.

If the Scorpion tank or the Gauss hog were removed on Exile, I'd say CTF on Exile is a good map/game type combination.*
*Pretty early assumption. Still need to play more before confirming that.
Is it me or was the layout and flag location of each team look like this:
The flag locations seemed a bit strange and most of the action took place on the left side of the map because both flags were on that side. Maybe I've got it all wrong but it looked like that from the videos I've seen.
Yeah that all sounds terrible to me.

Studio or Forge remake is the question. Though, Turf is pretty "small" so... Forge.
