Agreed, I hate that we play Team Snipers on the cage or Asylum.

Very happy to hear infection is getting maps actually based around the gametype now rather than just the defualt maps.

BOUT. DAMN. TIME.

Team snipers is supposed to be about long range combat and stealth. Zealot does not provide any of that, it turns it into team CQC, which it already is badly enough.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

I think that they should save the small maps for SWAT. Snipers are about long-range killing. I think they should add some of the BTB maps.

The Halo sniper rifle is about all-range kiling. The playlist needs a mix of close quarters, mid-range, and long-range maps.

I hate Crouchdown in almost all contexts apart from MLG, but I'm happy to see it in Team Snipers.

Note: by long-range maps, I mean maps that aren't retardedly broken. Hemorrhage needs to go.

I despair, honestly. How hard is it to possibly absorb the idea that a gun that is perfectly accurate at all ranges and in motion might be suited for more than crouching behind a rock in double-scope?

How you think Team Snipers should play =/= how the weapon is actually intended to be used.

small maps are not fun in snipers, i mean the occasional no scop is pretty legit but im not a fan of getting beatdown half the time which is whats gonna happen when these small maps get added


If half your deaths in Team Snipers are due to beatdowns, you're terrible with the Sniper.

All looks good except for the map additions to Team Snipers.

Hey, I agree with you, team snipers should be a dynamic playlist, but what I strongly dislike is that it has turned more into a CQC playlist than an actual snipers playlist. The maps are the problem, and sadly adding Zealot and such maps probably won't help much. Come on, we just got Ridgeline, Penance, Battle Creek, Breakneck, so add them!

I like how they're holding a gun to our heads about playing the DLC playlist. Really?


This.

The day they make DLC refundable and stop supporting multiple niche gametypes, they can 'warn' us about keeping the population up.

Until then, even 12 people is enough to support a 6v6 DLC playlist.

Removing the playlist was practically a slap to the face for all of those who purchased the Noble and Defiant map packs.

instead they simply offer us playlists in which DLC content occasionally shows up (but regardless, is never voted for).

They added the Anniversary map pack to DLC Premium Battle which meant that everyone who didn't have Anniversary, couldn't play it. I played it only twice after it was added because there were less than 200 people in the playlist, and it took literally 5 minutes to search. Pretty sure that is why it was removed.

I don't see anything about DLC playlists so I don't care.


I believe a Squad DLC playlist is being put in, but they will be watching for low population.
