So Action Sack has been out for a while now and I feel like most of the gametypes are getting a little stale. I think the only one I never get bored of is Husky Raid, which rarely comes up (for me at least), but the others (especially Tank World, Mantis Breakout and Mongoose Sumo) are getting pretty boring now. I’ve even noticed considerably more people quitting in those gametypes. What does everyone think? Any gametypes you think should be added?
I have been playing it a lot have yet to play mongoose sumo once.
It would be pretty easy to just raid the old Halo 2, Halo 3, and Reach action sack playlists for fun new (by which of course I mean old) game variants.
- KOTH - Regicide - Team Heavies - FFA Rockets - FFA BTB?
I wish they would have pretty much only breakout variants. If I wanted to play breakout I would select that playlist, they need more game modes that are fun. Like the pancake flipping custom game, or other community made mini games.

Indeed! More mini-games! I couldn’t care a dime less if the breakout games were all removed. Fudge them.
Replace tank world and mongoose sumo with FFA Swat and super fiesta. Switch loadiuts to shotguns for Ground pound arena.
Yeah, I’d love to see the VIP gametype come back too, even if it’s just for Action Sack.
I believe Ske7ch mentioned a refresh is in the works. I’ll see if I can find the link for you fine folk!

> Earlier this week I was in a regular weekly recurring Halo 5 multiplayer experience meeting and refreshing Action Sack was an agenda item! So the short answer is yes, Action Sack will definitely get updates. As to when and how regularly, I can’t say for certain yet but Uny and others are passionate about it and will make sure it gets the loving it needs. As I’m getting up to speed with many facets of Halo 5 ongoing sustain and operations I think it might be interesting to pull back the curtain on that process in a future update. Stay tuned.

Mongoose sumo is great and I just find it really funny when I am playing it. The one modes I don’t want are stupid world of tanks or mantis breakout.
I’d be cool if they replaced beams with shottys in GP Arena, did something with Tank World to make it less slow (even though I love it the way it is…I know a lot of people don’t.), and just outright removed Husky Raid. Husky Raid is a boring waste of six minutes.
Also, a lot of people also don’t like Mongoose sumo. Maybe they could replace it with Warthog sumo. I like Warthog sumo more, anyways.
They were stale before they were stale
A refresh would be very nice.
Absolutely love Husky Raid, mongoose sumo is still fun. tank world could go it is a bit slow pace for action sack. I would like to see more FFA variants added, rumble rockets, FFA fiesta, FFA odd ball. also change ground pound arena to shotgun starts.
Perhaps for Tankworld, replace the Scorpions with Wraiths. Viola, WraithWorld!
For me the big problems with tankworld is as follows.
Due to how slow the vehicles move and the fact that it only takes 3 or 4 shots to kill, whoever shoots first or has more health wins. Kills are so much less satisfying as well.
We keep seeing all these fun gametypes in the live streams, but I doubt they’ll ever get implemented.
