Add Objective Gametypes to Arena

Seeing that the Arena system is limited to only one playlist, it would only be fair to add more variety. Playing same old Slayer over and over gets pretty stale after a while and I feel adding in some Objective would freshen things up and make games more interesting.

What do you guys think? Do you support this?

I don’t think the arena system can support objective gametypes…

Why not? It is based on win/loss.

I support this.

That would be cool.

Arena was originally built as being the hardcore Slayer only playlist.

I don’t see why they would still need to stick by that statement now. I feel Arena has much more potential and shouldn’t be limited to one gametype. Mixing things up will keep Arena from getting repetitive and boring.

Agreed adding objective to arena would be great but its not going to happen as Reach will be almost over when halo 4 drops

343i probably doesn’t want people to continue to play Reach when you could be playing there new halo game .

I’d play it

True, Halo 4 is almost here, so this will probably be the last season of Arena for me. I just don’t get why there is only ranked slayer. Hopefully there are multiple ranked playlists in Halo 4 instead of one. crosses fingers

I voted 'No." Not because I don’t like objective gameypes, but because I don’t like Bungie’s standard Flag variants. That flag cooldown with the 15 (is it 20?) second return time is just painful; you can’t run flags (sorry, ‘juggle’) and once a flag is out, it’s a lot harder to get it back. That in my opinion cuts into the competitive merit of the gametype.
