I love the idea of Action Sack. In reality it doesn’t seem to work. Hardly any REAL variety. I mostly end up laying Team Dual, Swhatguns, Team Punchout, etc. Who really likes swhatguns? Its terrible. Team punchout also terrible. Seeing a theme here? Wheres the Husky raids and the Quickochet and fun stuff like that? Team Duals??? Seriously how is that Action?
Terrible selection of games in Action Sack right now. Or more accurately, a terrible weighting on them.
First post in this thread here, I had a huge list of games that came up in 100 straight matches. Top ten gametypes that showed up right here:
Shotty Snipers 23
Ninja Assassins 21
Shwatguns 18
Blast Resort 17
Team Duals 17
Gold Rush 16
Shotty Swords 16
Hammer Hill 16
Fiesta Classic 13
Stickyball 13
Yes, Shotty Snipers came up 23 times, and Ninja Assassins has gotten very very very old by now.
Ive only played blast resort and gold rush maybe a handful of times, and i couldn’t agree more that ninja assassins is plenty boring by now. Ive personally played shwatguns more than anything and id greatly prefer shotty snipes to just having a shotgun. still not what id expect from an action sack playlist. just another example of how 343 doesn’t care about this game…
on a sort of off topic note, id like to mention something about BTB that i haven’t posted elsewhere yet. Since the release of Remnant I have not played a single other Halo 2 BTB map. I used to LOVE playing bloodline, I’ve always loved blood gulch varieties and i thought they did great on the remake. its a pity i can’t play it at all anymore, i wonder how the people who remade the map at 343 would feel if they knew it was going to waste and not being played. Seems because remnant came out they think that people only want to play remnant? does anyone know the reasoning for this?

Like this guy said, the weighting needs adjustment. All I get is Blast Resort, Team Duals, Ninja Assassin, Fiesta and Quickochet.
To be honest, I like Team Punchout. As for ShWATguns, Blast Resort and Team Duals, I think they’re a bit boring and repetitive. And why is Shotty Snipers in Action Sack and not where it belongs in Team Snipers?
Some of the more unique modes like sumo and paintball should be more heavily weighted. I’ll go back once that happens.
Haven’t been in that playlist for a while but I remember all too well the repeated Fiesta, Sword/Hammer, and Shwatgun, and Shotty Sniper games. I only played Husky Raid one time. I’ve never even played lightning flag, and I don’t remember if I got to play ninja assassins, but I don’t think so. The weighting is prioritizing the wrong game types. I’ve heard Dodgeball is in the playlist, but I’ve literally never seen it. Not even as a voting option.
I only ever get games with shotguns. What I really want to play is Fiesta and Husky Raid and those don’t even show up when I check.
Team punch out can be ok, so can team duals i guess. but it pales in comparison to fiesta classic, quickochet (I’ve only had a few games ) or husky raid. theres lots of random fun games like red glare that i hardly get to see. dodgeball has come up a few times, and so has paintball. would love to see more variety. maybe get on twitter and start hitting up these 343 guys! I’m guessing they would actually see tweets directed towards them.
I got a husky raid last night on my friends very first attempt at action sack. it was awesome, i pulled and capped the flag and we won. only won two husky raids maybe played 8 total (but I’ve been playing action sack non stop). Schwatguns is garbage in my opinion and i gladly play shotty snipes and sword snipes just because i always love that combo.
i must mention that this inability to properly weigh playlists options is quite rampant across the board. BTB is a good example. For instance since they release the H2A map Remnant i have not played bloodline or stone town once on btb, when in the past it was very common to get bloodline ct. every once in awhile anyway. halo ce almost never comes up on BTB, with ce on xbox live for the FIRST TIME there was a big part of the hype for BTB which was never played online on CE by anyone EVER. But instead CE is often replaced by halo 4, which was released 3 years ago!!! The amount of maps that are commonly played by BTB players is maybe a third of the overall maps, most never even being played.
Ive spent 900 hours playing MM, a lot of in on BTB. Ive never once played death island. After 8 months I’ve seen it once. Seems its not just action sack that has problems with variety
I only play this to warm up for ranked playlists but I personally like team punchout. I think they have taken a new idea for action sack, making it more… Randomised if you get what I mean, its like they are trying to give everyone a small piece of chocolate instead of massive chocolate bars in husky raid and fun stuff. Not saying its unenjoyable, just a different type
