So most of us agree that Halo 5 could do with the addition of more social playlists, but what about a dedicated 1 V 1 playlist?
As a solo player I typically struggle in team modes as a random, and am either blessed with talented teammates who communicate (rare) or am -Yoink!- to be in a team where one or more teammates typically drop out. I typically have fun going one on one versus my buddy, and think it could be fun to pit two “randoms” against each other.
Imagine a dedicated 1 V 1 playlist where a solo player could play another solo player, just one on one! This would obviously be limited to some of the smaller maps as many maps would be too large to really support a 1 V 1.
Would there be any support for this in the community? I would prefer a social playlist versus ranked as I think many more people would be willing to play it socially.

In halo 3 they tried a 1v1 playlist and it turned into one guy getting a kill and camping. They then added a marker to the guy in first place but it was the same thing pretty much. In halo 5 the movement is so fast it would be hard to kill a guy camping.
Maybe if they made special maps kind of like octagon. IDK

The well I haven’t tested the magnum yet… but the smg is awesome in halo 5.

I don’t think it would be too difficult for our Forge community to knock out some great small maps. Heck I think some of them would really enjoy the opportunity!

> It was in H2 as well. Same thing happened with people hiding after they got the lead or they got out of the map.
Yes but it could turn into a hiding game as stated above.
I remember back on reach in doubles, on ivory tower, my brother and I used to get ahead by 5 or so, then hide for the rest of the match. And laugh as our opponents ran right past us in panic as the clock winded down.

There are enough competitive players, the problem is that 343 wouldn’t use the correct settings. Assuming of course that this game has good 1v1 settings - I haven’t played proper 1v1s in H5 but I highly doubt they would be worth anything
