Sounds cool...but this is pretty standard mode for most online games. Im surprised it wasn't there to begin with.

Also, if someone posted every time Halo 3 gets a new "free" game mode...there would be a new post every week.

 

really?  so since september 07 which is 1 year 4 months so like 64 weeks?  so 64 new modes since release?  i'd be really interested in hearing that list of different game modes.

These are current Halo 3 playlists, they were changed YESTERDAY and get updated every 2-3 weeks. 3 Ball modes were added and Grifball taken away. Count them if youd like...

Ranked Playlists

-Team Snipers

  • Team Snipers (79.3%) - Score points by killing players on the opposing team. First team to 50 points wins. Players start with Sniper Rifles. 12 minute match time limit.
  • Shotty Snipers (20.7%) - Score points by killing players on the opposing team. First team to 50 points wins. Players start with Sniper Rifles and Shotgun secondary weapons. 12 minute match time limit..

    i'm not sure you understand what "mode" means. 

    "Mode: a manner of acting or doing; method; way: modern modes of transportation." (source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mode). think of it like this, driving in a car is a mode of transportation.  driving in a ford is not a different mode of transportation as driving in a toyota.

    so with that in mind....team sniper and shotty sniper are variations of the same mode, "score points by killing players on the opposing team".  i went through your entire list and i would say it boils down to basically 6 modes which are pretty much the same modes present in every fps.  good effort though.   ./applaudes

     

    You are cherry picking beyond belief. And obviously you don't play many FPS games... These modes (or game types if you will) are played drastically differently compared to one another. Each one needs different strategy and is played differently. 

    You probably think Swimming and running in Mario and Sonic olympics are different game modes, even though for both you shake the wii mote up and down...
