Feb 11 Halo 4 Update Adds Team Snipers, Shotty Snipers and Team Objective Playlists

Today’s Halowaypoint post has confirmed the latest of Halo 4‘s weekly multiplayer playlist updates.

This Monday, February 11th, Halo 4 players have two new Halo 4 playlists to look forward to: Team Snipers and Team Objective. There will also be a variant of Team Snipers called ‘Shotty Snipers’.

According to developer 343 Industries and their community playlist team, the return of the “new and improved” Team Snipers playlist will have the following settings:

 
The above settings are aimed at diehard sniping fans by offering a playlist that focuses on one thing – sniping. With no radar, grenades, ordnance or secondary weapons, you can be sure that the better marksmen will come away with victory.

Come Monday, there will also be a variant of Team Snipers called ‘Shotty Snipers’. Shotty Snipers equips players with a shotgun as a secondary, as well as 2 frag grenades for players to use as they see fit. This mode can be found in the Team Snipers playlist voting options when it goes live, but not as often as the traditional snipers-only mode. Here are the Shotty Sniper-specific settings:

 
As if that wasn’t enough, Team Objective, which will group together 4 vs. 4 Team Regicide, Oddball and King of the Hill will also go live February 11th. There have been a few changes made to the game modes in the Team Objective playlist, though. Complex Oddball has been removed, and instant respawn has been disabled for both King of the Hill and Oddball.

So, lots to look forward to on Monday for fans of Halo 4 multiplayer. Enjoy!
