Shotty Snipers

Shotty Snipers is a multiplayer gametype available in Halo 3, During a game of Shotty Snipers, there are no weapons on the map. Every player starts with a Shotgun for close range, and the Sniper Rifle for long range, both of which have unlimited ammunition. It is featured in Halo 3's Matchmaking system.

When Halo 3 first came out, there was a problem where the gametype appeared considerably more often than it should in the Team Slayer playlist. This often resulted in that when a Shotty Snipers game was vetoed, another one would appear in its place. This was rectified in the first matchmaking playlist update on October 9, 2007. Nobody ever hardly veto this gane type.
