Action Sack Lacking

I think action sack needs some more gametypes. I’d like it if they threw super fiesta, rock n’ rail, and mythic shotty snipes in there. What would you want added?

EDIT: A lot of people have been saying what they’d also want removed and I agree with most of them. Please take away skeeball, mantis breakout, and prop hunt. Literally everyone I’ve talked to has said they don’t like any of those, and I’m not using literally figuratively. Down with them!

Id be all for them tossing game modes like that in there to replace golf, prop hunt, skeeball & minataurs.

I think the community would appreciate that a lot more.

If that were to happen, AS can easily become a permanent playlist, still. a lot of fun. Add those game types in & it will be even better.

AS has so much potential but its not being utilized.

Agreed, take those and replace skee ball, prop hunt and golf.

I couldn’t agree more

Heck a good way is make it action sack changes the modes change every few weeks and maybe bring back and/or keep a few fan favourites, along with put a few lesser know maps that 343 finds cool and if the Community doesn’t like them, then there out and they ain’t returning!

Couldn’t agree more. And lose prop hunt, golf, and skeeball…awful.

Yeah this is a great idea. I get the feeling the only reason Action Sack stopped being popular was because of crap like Skeeball and Prop Hunt (those are the two I hate the most). It was an automatic force quit if either came up whether I would play solo or with a friend or two.

Exactly. I am not sure why these changes aren’t being made. It seems like the community is all on the same page except 343. Im no expert, but it seems like an extremely easy fix which I’m sure would result in a boost the popularity of this playlist. Especially this late in the games cycle, there is nothing to lose in changing a few things around?

They already made unnecessary changes to many other playlists/gametypes/ranking system, why not give us a change most people are asking for & agree on?

I feel action sack could accompany game types like grifball, castle wars, throwback game types etc. By doing this it could easily become a permanent playlist. All those unusual game modes under one umbrella would be great. That way we don’t have to wait every other month to see some of these awesome modes.

Gamemodes like Vehicle Fiesta, Smash Pursuit, Splatter Monkey, Crash Up Derby, and Speed Halo would be perfect for Action Sack.

Vehicle Fiesta sounds like a blast!

Not sure what those others are, but im sure they would be way more fun then some current game types in AS

Grifball and Castle Wars sound great, maybe even infection.

Aw man I’d love Vehicle Fiesta and Speed Halo as well. Haven’t heard of those other three though but if they’re goofy/fun then yes.

i would replace skeeball and prop hunt with rock and rail and a race map

How I would revamp action sack. Remove, mantis breakout (maybe put it in the break out playlist?), minotarus (maybe put it in infection?)and prop hunt (camping style games just are kinda boring). Change skeeball into a FFA game and just make it like one three minutes round.

As far as adding anything super fiesta is a playlist already so no need to add it to action sack, unless it’s FFA fiesta that would be sweet. Rock and rail and mythic shottie Snipes are rotational playlist already so almost no need to add them but may not be a bad idea to throw them in.

But I would love to see those playlist removed so then the more fun games may come up more like husky raid, ground pound arena, and snowball fight.

Skeeball needs to go, period. It’s the worst Action Sack mode ever. Prop Hunt, Snowball Fight, Mantis Breakout, and Ghost Race (is it still there?) should also get removed from Action Sack. The modes that I believe should be introduced to Action Sack are:

This thread is 100% what Action Sack should be. There’s absolutely no reason why it wouldn’t take the crown from Super Fiesta for most popular playlist if it had all these gamemodes added and some of the junk it has removed. Like every suggestion I’ve seen is something I would repeatedly want to play.

Do not put Mantis Breakout into Breakout. For one, that’s Ranked. For another, it really plays quite differently from other breakout game modes.

Minotaurs is not typical infection. The survivors can’t even fight back!

Skeeball as FFA would be moee interesting, since the teammates who don’t instantly disconnect will sometimes not contribute. However, Skeeball doesn’t even play like Halo, and the win is completely based on luck, so it doesn’t deserve a place in Matchmaking at all.

Yes, remove Prop Hunt. Like Skeeball, it doesn’t play like Halo.

Yeah I wouldn’t put mantis break or minotarus into any other playlist now that I think about it. They were ok at first, especially minotarus but they have just over stayed their welcome a bit, they have become not very fun.

I’d also remove mantis breakout, prop hunt, and skeeball, they’re all just plain boring.

See in my opinion action sack is meant to be a culmination of non competitive/goofy modes that are just fun. So for me it doesn’t matter if any given gametype already has a permanent playlist or is featured in the rotational every few months. I just want as many gametypes in there as possible. Well maybe not TOO many but you get what I mean.

Remove:
Skeeball
Prophunt
Mantis Breakout
Minotaurs
Golf

Add: 5 new game modes. I feel the game modes that work the best & are well liked are those that involve some type of slayer/objective (husky, bloc pit, snowball, freight). Not game modes where its hide & seek. I had enough of that when I was 4. Or dying in mantis breakout & waiting for the round to end, seems like a complete waste of time.

A lot of interesting game modes have been suggested, & without even playing them, I am almost certain they are better then those 5 I stated above.

With these changes, Action Sack can easily be made a permanent playlist. Its clear a lot of people enjoy it enough to come up with ways to improve it to make it worth playing.
