Halo 3's Matchmaking Playlists, just like Halo 2's, are dynamic and ever-changing entities. Even now in the perilous Bungie towers, we're looking at new hoppers, gametypes and modes to test for future iterations and changes of these playlists. Multiplayer Lead Tyson Green and test wunderkind David Gasca sent the following list of changes to us -- and these changes are live now:

Big Team Battle matches are now 16-player affairs.
In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.
In one-sided VIP matches, the attacking team will now see a waypoint for the VIP they are hunting.
In Lone Wolves, Slayer gametypes will appear more frequently.

Finally! Less shotty snipers!!!

Good shotty snipers, bad 1 sided VIP. I loved hiding in some remote corner, and while my entire team was dead, the other team couldn't find me. Where's the infection playlist? bungie's been talking about how they play it between themselves, but not us. unless it comes up in lone wolf (which i've never played)?

Even though I'm happy for these changes, I would love it if my stats updated. They have not been updated since Oct. 2nd, more than a week!!!
