For me doubles is the perfect game type to present ones skill and teamwork and is just a very fun gametype.
However, it is desperately lacking maps due to the fact that it's doubles and the maps have to be suitable to fit the size of the amount of players, so please 343 add some more community maps.

i agree, we do need more maps. also we need the removal of jetpack. map control is an absolute key of why doubles is so challenging, and jetpack pisses all over it. i really would like it AA free, but that probably won't happen.

Yeah jetpack does spoil map control as well as allowing players to glitch out of maps like Enclosed and Select. I think sprint is okay but anything else needs to go

Agreed, I despise the Jetpack. Well I despise a lot of things about Reach actually.

Jetpack just crushed map control which has always been a key element of Halos multiplayer

Yep, it's ridiculous on Asylum when you literally have two jetpacking opponents who arent awful. Even a good setup will get crushed by it, completely ruins the point of controlling the middle =/

Jetpacks should most definitely be removed from doubles. They should maybe leave sprint and that's about it.

Sprint is okay especially because that slowed down movement speed. I don't really use hologram and not a lot of other people do so if may as well be removed too.

I played a few games of Doubles yesterday. I was the only person for 3 games in a row not using Jetpack. The only reason I wasn't, myself is because I play Bumper Jumper.

There was almost no point in trying to make a setup on any of the maps. Every time I tried to secure Rockets, I got pinged by a DMR from directly above me. Rockets were useless against them, while they could just fly directly up and blow up the ground beneath them(me being that ground).

I won't even begin to touch upon abusing Soft Kill Barriers and flying outside the map.

If I had it my way, I would rather play without any sort of Armor Ability. Honestly, I would rather spawn without an AA in Reach while other kids go invisible, invincible, do hologram stuff, and use witchcraft to fly around maps with that noisy jet pack.

They are just crutches anyway.

Only problem is because they turned down the movement speed it takes forever to get around the map which is why I think sprint is acceptable
