Not only is Team Sniper being added to the rotation but SWAT will stick around for a little longer and there are some tweaks coming to some maps and modes as well. The playlist update will occur on Monday, Nov. 19 and add Team Snipers to the playlist rotation. This first iteration of Team Sniper will include the long-range weapon only with no secondary weapons. 343 Industries may add them when the mode returns in a future playlist update based on feedback from the Halo 4 community.

FaTaL Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 *Sigh* The news of "Rotations" was saddening to me. Team Snipers should stay around even though I do not like the playlist it is still popular. And Team Doubles should be added permanentyl hopefuly and not just a rotation.

Enigma Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Team SWAT needs to stay and they need to lower the frequency of Ragnarok in BTB. Everything else is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcross04 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Rotation is cool, for game types such as Grifball, action sack, lone wolves, fiesta, things of that nature. But to have staples of Halo, like Doubles, Swat, and Snipers be rotational ? That's just dumb. I paid $60 dollars for this game, I should be able to play the playlists of my choosing whenever I want, not be at the whim of somebody at 343. I like this game a lot and see tons of potential. I know competitive (MLG) guys like myself are a minority, but some of these changes can't be completely liked by all the true halo players from the early days... the inability to drop run a flag ? The DMR being unbelievably superior to the BR ?? Maps that aren't even remotely symmetrical.. grenades finally bounce perfect, but are incredibly weak compared to H2-H3-and Reach. I'm hoping you guys at 343 remember what made Halo HALO and not Call of Duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
