    The only issue with a lot of those variants is usually only the infected player can gain points.

    Shishka still wants variants that provide an equal oportunity to get points for both teams. Also, Action Sack only allows 8 maximum players with two teams of 3-4. Most minigames don't work with two seperate teams.

    No. Keep mini-games in custom games.

    True, but a lot of the games still have a semi equal chance at scoring, being that everyone could be the zombie and with the right number of rounds it'll be the same as infection, without exp on the line. And really, you could be broken into teams and if one of the minigames comes up back into free for all, or even the otherway around.

    I just have something to point out to all those who deny.

    Why do you go into action sack? It certainly isn't to gain xp , since there isn't any to be gained. When you start up action sack, you are going in there to have fun, or maybe just to screw around. You don't want to be playing slayer, or competitive, and if you do, go play some social. I think this would be really great if this was implemented. Of course, not all the minigames would have to come from FH, other people aswell, however, they would have to be tested, quite rigourously, to make sure that they work each and every time. Thats my opinion.

    I'm not sure I personally would care if more original casual games were incorporated into matchmaking, but I think newer players should experience the fun of those games, and find funner games than fat kid. So I'm with you.

    Stickball would be a great choice. Plus it can't be infection as it's 4v4 gametypes only

    Well, there's already a double exp for infection, and we don't get any other minigames for MM. Duck hunt would be win, but the points mainly go to the infectee.

    I think Conquest would be a good addition, it's a two team game that works with 4v4 on most maps. The only thing is it's somewhat competitive, so some Sack players may not appreciate the one gametype that is competitive in a laid-back environment. Although, just because it's competitive, doesn't mean you can't have fun while playing it ;)

    Most good minigames use free-for-all gametypes. Bungie just wants to do their own things. It's sad :(.

    Dude. Conquest should be in the hardcore or social playlists. Conquest is fun, but does have a competitive feeling to it. Or at least conquest should be added to lke team objective.

    Team objective was removed, but a Playlist dedicated to it should be social, not hardcore. Skills would be easier to achieve than other playlists, to me, it's like a Competitive mini-game. I would love to see a Double EXP Weekend Conquest playlist, though, as long as v3 was in it. But, anyway...

    Teamworks could also work in Action Sack, as well as Cave Freaks, but it could be hard for a player to jump in and know what to do like most mini-games.

    That's true, but I think that a game like Help's on the Way Right? Would work, because noone gains any points, and it's fairly obvious what you're supposed to do.

    Ya, but I doubt Bungie would add that since Action Sack has 6-8 players with two teams, I don't think if Vetoed or Vetoed for, the forming or removal of teams in Pre-game lobby is possible, considering no other playlist has that I believe. Also, an equal opportunity for both teams to gain points doesn't mean no one getting points. I can see how difficult it would be to make a playlist like this now, instead of just throwing something in because they feel like it. Help's on the way, right? would be cool in Living Dead, though.
