Subject: H2 Playlist Update

My 360 died on me 2 weeks ago, so to pass the time I have been playing my all time favorite game a bunch recently, Halo 2. The problem though, is that it takes days to find a game in matchmaking. Because of this, I propose that Bungie does one last update to the H2 playlists. At this current time, there are 10 playlists, spreading the already small population very thing.

I propose that the current playlists be trimmed down to 5:
Team Slayer - Obvious keeper. Increase BR starts and also add Hardcore slayer gametypes.

Rumble Pit - A fan favorite for loners.

Double Team - Still a large amount of people looking for 2v2.

Team Snipers - Seems to be the most popular ranked playlist at the moment.

Team Training - Bumped up to 5v5 to keep BTB lovers happy. Will have Swat, Skirmish, and Hardcore gametypes added.

Playlists Removed:
Team Swat - Added into Team Training.

H2 Challenge - This contest isn't running anymore, no need to keep it along with Rumble Pit.

Big Team - Finding 16 people for a game seems almost impossible. Team Training will
have size increase to keep the BTB lovers happy.

Team Skirmish - It is very hard to find a game. Team Training will have Skirmish Gametypes.

Hardcore - I love this playlist, it's the most balanced and competitive, but let's face it, most people that played this have moved on to H3. Besides, there is still Customs. Gametypes will be added to Training to fill the void.

Why are you here?

Keep Hardcore, add team snipers into team slayer.

Team slayer in my experience is the most populated playlist. They should remove h2 challenge, move swat into team training and also move remove team skirmish. Theres no doubt that halo 2 needs and update. The only playlists where you find a game quick is either rumble pit, team slayer or team training. Doubles I left out because it's only 2vs2.

Personally that's what I would like to see, but realistically, I don't find any matches in Hardcore on my 32. Team Snipers however, I can find games almost instantly on a 32.

I hate slayer but love to snipe, putting them together just ruins the game for me

I say to remove
Skirmish, H2 challenge (rank Rumble Pit), BTB

I would love to see a Double Team Snipers but I know that will never happen
