If there’s one thing I hate about playing Team Slayer Halo 3 on Xbox Live, it’s the Shotty Snipers game type - and the number of times I’ve seen all 8 players veto a round of Shotty Snipers within a few seconds makes me think I’m not the only one.

The caring, sharing bunch at Bungie have recognized the widespread dislike of the game type, and addressed it (among other things) in a recent update. The full list of changes are:

* 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.
