What ever came of the Sniper Only + No Sniper playlist?

How come they put SnD in Groundwar, but they never created the NO SNIPER and SNIPER ONLY playlist that the overwhelming majority of people voted for in Ban Candy's official poll?

How about they act on this instead of ignoring it?
I also want to see a sniping only playlist. Instead of them adding crap like S&D ground war, they should of added a sniping lobby instead.
Furthermore, whether you like sniping or not, a sniping lobby will benefit ALL the community, unlike the rants they are recieving from S&D groundwar.
If infinity ward were smart they would off added a SEPERATE S&D playlist.
WOW 1 reply?
I guess the 41% of people that voted for it aren't that bothered after all?

There is someone enquiring about the sniper/no sniper playlist to Ban Candy

Thanks for that link Vims, much appreciated. It's a shame Candice or any IW staff didn't respond to it or this thread though.
I also wonder why they put the option into a poll if they weren't planning to act on the results.
They should really have just a snipers only game mode. It could be like a five minute FFA game and then when the game ends, it shows the game winning "mini-tage" of all the top players kills with dubstep playing in the background. I'm sure that would make all the quick scopers go nuts.

Brilliant.
Presumably they look at where a bulk (not most) of the votes lie and make the decision based on what gametype offered will take the least time/resources to set up and be inclusive of most players.

Out of 14K votes 10K went to 2 of the options and neither have been put in so I don't know about that?
What's the point of asking what we want and then ignoring us?
That was only a poll and just because a poll has a certain outcome does not mean that it has to be acted upon. Many more people would prefer a playlist that allowed more then one weapon or playstyle to be used. And with playlist slots a premium to give one up for snipers/no snipers since most likely most game modes would be in the same playlist is not really feasible, since the numbers in that list would probably be lower then the FO playlists.
S&D in GW was probably a test to see how well S&D would work with more players. There is a lot of players that would like to see some of the other game playlists have more players added to them. 6v6 may be fun for some but after a while it gets boring. where as 9v9 adds a whole new level of chaos because of the extra people.

Bit off topic there? Wrong thread?
No, not at all you asked why there was no sniper only list and I mentioned why. Just because a poll is made does not mean that IW has to act upon the poll no matter what the numbers are at the end of it. Never expect them to do so. If they do, then be suprised if they do not, then be non-surprised. By being surprised that they did not just shows you really do not understand polls in in this game yet.
They are at most a way to get an idea, and then for IW to check to see if it would even be useful, if not it is ingored regardless of the numbers of the poll voters.
Sorry if I came over as surprised. I'm not at all really. As the thread title suggests, I was just curious as to whatever came of Candice's poll winner.
I wasn't actually expecting a playlist that would exclude quickscopers.
No apology needed. I may come across as an arse most times when I post. But yeah, never really expect much out of a poll on these forums. For not much really ever comes from them.
I take any and all promises made by IW or 3arc about how the CoD games are going to be with a grain a salt. If it turns out how they say, all the better. If not, no skin of my back really since was not really expecting any different.
I think that is the healthiest approach tbh. lol
You never came over as an arse btw.
It seems rather redundant to me to have "sniper-only" maps. That defies the point of a sniper, which is assist from range. If everyone is waiting to snipe everyone, no one is gonna have fun lol. They should do it another way, like 1 sniper per team or 25% snipers max on ffa. Makes more sense to me, just saying.
Would love to see a sniper gameplay, no custom classes, no portable radars/maksman.
Yea a no-sniper game, Snipers are the worse scum. Worse than campers, yea I said it!

Do you mean Snipers or Quickscopers?
No one likes camping snipers in a quick paced game, but if your good at quickscoping on the run then you know what fun is.

So running and gunning with a 30lb Barrett and quickscoping is cool, but actually using the weapon as the manufacturor intended and setting it down on it's Bi Pod is somehow bad?
You are the reason legit players voted for a NO SNIPER playlist. lol
