He proceeds to break down the Doubles playlist, which I&#8217;ve taken the liberty to repost here:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Infinity Doubles<\/strong>\u00a0offers the Infinity Slayer experience in 2 vs 2 form. In this variant, players have the option to choose their custom loadout, and instant respawn and radar are enabled. Personal ordnance will kick in at the traditional 70 point mark, but the options are tweaked specifically for Team Doubles. Games are played up to 300 points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doubles Pro<\/strong>\u00a0offers an experience that features preset game loadouts. The score limit is the same as above, but radar, personal ordnance and instant respawn are disabled. Here are the loadouts that will be featured:<\/p>\n<p>Loadout 1:<br \/>\nStarting Weapon &#8211; DMR<br \/>\nSecondary Weapon &#8211; Magnum<br \/>\nArmor Abilities &#8211; None<br \/>\nTactical Mod &#8211; Resupply<br \/>\nSupport Mod &#8211; Dexterity<\/p>\n<p>Loadout 2:<br \/>\nStarting Weapon &#8211; BR<br \/>\nSecondary Weapon &#8211; Magnum<br \/>\nArmor Abilities &#8211; None<br \/>\nTactical Mod &#8211; Resupply<br \/>\nSupport Mod &#8211; Dexterity<\/p>\n<p>Loadout 3:<br \/>\nStarting Weapon &#8211; LightRifle<br \/>\nSecondary Weapon &#8211; Magnum<br \/>\nArmor Abilities &#8211; None<br \/>\nTactical Mod &#8211; Resupply<br \/>\nSupport Mod &#8211; Dexterity<\/p>\n<p>Loadout 4:<br \/>\nStarting Weapon &#8211; Carbine<br \/>\nSecondary Weapon &#8211; Magnum<br \/>\nArmor Abilities &#8211; None<br \/>\nTactical Mod &#8211; Resupply<br \/>\nSupport Mod &#8211; Dexterity<\/p>\n<p><strong>CTF Doubles<\/strong>\u00a0offers the ever-popular Capture the Flag game type, customized for 2 vs 2 play. Custom loadouts and radar are enabled, and respawn time is set to 10 seconds. Flag settings provide an optimal experience for small maps and teams: 5 flags to win, 3 second return, and 15 second reset. Lastly, your flag does not have to be home to score.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re still finalizing the map pool but are happy to announce that players who enjoy the comforts of split-screen play will have the option to select on-disc maps in the first voting slot. By offering slightly modified versions of Haven, Abandon and Solace, split-screen players can be sure that they\u2019ll have the option to play on a map that offers the best split-screen experience. Additionally, we plan to offer several of the best community Forge maps in this playlist and will continue to update the map pool on a regular basis to keep everything fresh. Additional details regarding the playlist will be posted before it launches, so keep an eye on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forums.halowaypoint.com\/yaf_topics10_Matchmaking.aspx\">Matchmaking section<\/a>\u00a0of our forums.<\/p>\n<div>Rogue and Tracker Specializations are being unlocked for those who don&#8217;t have them unlocked yet.<\/div>\n<div>From there the bulletin switches over to Spartan Ops, then finally Fileshare being unlocked on XBL.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;m glad to see doubles get a turn, however it should be it&#8217;s own permanent playlist, IMO.<\/div>\n<div>-Sal<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry a little late with this one.
