Team Snipers

Game Description
Team Snipers, is a variant of Slayer. The object of the game is simply to kill as many opposing players as possible. Each player starts with a Sniper Rifle and Magnum. This playlist is for those, that want to practice their sniper skills, try to get no-scope kills,and get kills with the Magnum Pistol. One of the more popular playlists on Halo 2. Unfortunately for Team Sniper fans in Halo 3, this gametype appears in the playlists Team Slayer and Social Slayer, but only about 15% of the time.

Halo: CE
Team Snipers was a default game variant, due to Halo: CE's primitive Multiplayer, lacking X Box Live.

Halo 2
Team Snipers became a very popular gametype when Bungie made it into a Ranked variant for Halo 2. This was due to the incorporation of online multiplayer, which Halo: CE lacked.

Halo 3
As stated before, in Halo 3 Matchmaking, sniper-based variants are hard to come upon. Luckily, Team Snipers is also a Double EXP Weekend gamtype on Halo 3. The variants in Team Snipers include: Team Snipers, Shotty Snipers and Team Splasers; all Slayer based games. Team Snipers is a traditional sniper game with Sniper Rifle and Magnum as default weapons and no weapons on the map. Nothing else, besides these two factors, are different from a standard Halo 3 Team Slayer game. Shotty Snipers, as the name implies, is just Team Snipers with a Shotgun replacing the Magnum. Splasers is a little bit different from the first two variants, the respawn weapons being Spartan Laser and Magnum. Bungie meant it to be Spartan Laser and Sniper Rifle, so this is probably a glitch in the system.
