The current Arena season is rapidly drawing to a close, and as such I felt this a good time to suggest some changes to the current Arena format. I believe that more gametypes should be represented in Arena besides 4v4 Slayer. I believe that Doubles, Objective, and Free For All should all have representation.
Also, the structuring of the playlists should be changed as follows:
Arena should go back to its own tab in the playlist selection.
Competitive
Cooperative
The Arena
Community
DLC
With The Arena having these choices:
Team Slayer
Team Doubles
Team Objective
Lone Wolves
Just my two cents on the matter. Feel free to discuss.

-Yoink- Yes 
I LOVE Lone Wolves, they had it in the beta and I’ve been sitting here going Where did it go?
Swat was competitive
FFA (Lone Wolves) was my favorite competitive hopper though…
This arena… is just Team Slayer with tweaks and whatnot… idk… I just want my Lone wolves back… maybe with a few “Classic” gametypes included…
That would be great, I really don’t understand why there has only been 1 arena playlist for the past 6 months.
To clarify I think Doubles and Objective should be MOVED to arena not duplicated. Also the FFA playlist should be incremental but more like Lone Wolves and less like the prior version of Arena FFA (which had no power weapons, etc).
And MLG should be moved as well…
Love the general idea OP. However, i cannot find myself calling social “competitve”. Shame on Bungie. My version of it would be…
Standard Ranked/Arena (DLC NOT required)
Team Slayer
MLG
Swat
Snipers
FFA
BTB
Social (non ranked, for casuals and hardcore alike. DLC not required)
Rumble Pit
Squad Slayer
BTB Social
Action Sack
Invasion
Double Team
Multi Team
Living dead (lol)
Premium DLC (which of course will be ranked and will require DLC)
Premium Slayer
Premium Battle
Agreed. It’s beyond me why the amount of Competitive and Arena playlists are so imbalanced. Ranked and Social were split about 50/50 in Halo 2 and 3.
MLG and Snipers should probably moved over as well.
Glad I’m not the only one thinking this. With the Arena season starting anew in two days, I’m hoping to at least see the return of Team Doubles to the Arena format. But I’d also like to see some Team Snipers, MLG, and Squad Battle, in addition to the standard 4v4 Team Slayer. Also, remove Team Slayer from competitive. We have Squad Slayer now. Make it like Halo 3, where Team Slayer was the ranked iteration of Social slayer, except this time we’ll just have “The Arena” renamed “Team Slayer” and “Social Slayer” will be simply “Squad Slayer.”
I’ve been 1% Onyx since the beginning of the season. Playing after this got kind of dull. It would be nice if, after attaining my 1%, I could go try out some other ranked playlists. You have no idea how boring Arena can be when you’re trying to search on a 1% Onyx with friends of equal rank, even when using a “lobby party.” There are times when I wait at least a half hour before finding a game.
