1 step forward 3 steps back 343

So we finally get new content? Cool, I’d love to try the new game mode out with my friends.
Oh wait I can’t because it’s locked at 1 person.

I sure can’t wait to play some attrition then, wait where is it?
Oh wait it’s crammed into quickplay with 5 other game types so I can’t even chose to play it if I wanted to.

Well what about some FFA? I love free for all.
Ah well it’s removed and crammed with other ffa game types that should be in action sack since they’re a more custom community oriented game type.

Let’s not even mention the completely unnecessary changes nobody asked for via skill jumping.
Seriously 343. What are you doing?
This season is already a disaster upon release and the abysmal player-count proves it. Y’all really need to get it together because this is absolutely embarrassing.

Rumble Pit is the FFA version of Action Sack. It’s been this way since at least H3 (2007). It’s a shame the FFA Slayer playlist wasn’t added to the ranked rotation though.

I am really finding hard to believe a Halo game, who’s player base has built on a community of payer who have loved playing all previous titles with their friends, is now forcing us to play without our friends to progress in the game, shame on you 343i.

Better than the 1 step forward, 9 steps back from Season 1 but still very frustrating.

It’s really frustrating with FFA no longer being a stand alone playlist, it’s the only gamemode that kept me coming back when content was dry, i understand and people will i’m sure commend them for trying to make it so that rumble pit is a living breathing playlist but by removing another playlist isn’t adding anything you’ve removed choice from the player. I hate half the modes crammed into this idiotic hellscape they’ve dubbed rumble pit. You gain nothing from removing player choice, this new update seemed really cool, it added some new armour that while feels nothing like halo, was cool to see, it came with new gamemodes and just new life to a dying game but it feels like they did nothing for players here just a way to push their crap. It feels like 343 want to understand their players and do in some ways, the game has never felt more like halo at it’s core but they’re repeatidly messing up everything around the games that gave them their identity and kept players engaged.
