The mode also only seems to have Commando spawns, and EVERYONE ignores it, lol. I do keep seeing teammates looking for the BR though

You make a good point. They should remove it from Social and move it to Ranked, since thereās this weird idea that BR starts only belong in Ranked.
oooorā¦ it is a mode for both
AR for social starts
and BR for ranked starts
itās annoying having certain modes limited to either social or ranked. rather than both imo
That would open up a plethora of topics that go back to the Bungie dot net days, during the community fights of what social and what ranked means, and how the playlists should be designed. But, I can say that there shouldnāt be a duplicate of a playlist (one for Ranked and one for Social, ie Snipers or Swat having both). Iām not willing to go further back into those ātalksā again haha.
Regardless, I do have a more social experience in Ranked because of BRs, oddly enough.

Yup. Social settings ruin this game mode (and IMO are just generally bad).
Unless you lose a coin flip and get a useless commando instead

Thereās been talk of a further Elimiation based mode that could be designated for Ranked. One of the 343 devs who seemed to be working on this game mode in particular was on Reddit last night discussing it.
Highlight of the discussion:
4 lives only, which means revives from the get go.
Best of 9 rounds, so thereās chance for comeback.
Power items are on a delayed spawn.
Halved ammo across everything.
Yeah thatās what OP is saying. We donāt want a reason to pick up the AR lol. Thatās the point of BR starts

I actually donāt really mind AR starts in other social modes but, like SWAT, I think attrition would play better with BRs

Here we go againā¦
BR, BR, BR.
I really enjoy Attrition as a gametype, and I think it could work well in Ranked. We will eventually see BR starts , assuming it gets added to the Ranked hopper.
Add BR starts and weāll pretty much have tatical slayer with shields and radar as everyone campsā¦ and does pot shots
This new game mode is like Breakout from Halo 5 just with more lives and your teammates can revive you. Iām not sure how I feel about it since Iāve only played a few games. A Battle Rifle start though wouldāve made the event and gameplay a whole lot more exciting and fast pace.
Because BR starts arenāt for everyone and the event playlist is more geared to the widest possible audience.
That said, Iād love to see a few attrition maps in the game list for ranked. Thatād be fun for sure.
Let me rephrase that for you, |infinite| is held back by almost always having AR spawnsā¦. At least donāt put commandos everywhereā¦ so freakin annoying

Thatās true, but when only one person on the team can pick it up, itās a little sad.

Itās held back by Behemoth and Launch Site.

A large chunk on the community just uses AR + beatdown as their crutch. Itās sad to see 20+ melees per team in just about every team slayer game. Itās painful outside of ranked or swat or big team (just because of distance). Sidekick on the other hand - 3 of the 4 cheaters Iāve come across are just using aimbot with sidekick, other one was commando, both those weapons are subsecond kills when you have perfect aim.

My favorite game mode. But itās disgusting how it was implemented, itās just ridiculous that an idiot used all 8 lives. Why not deal 2 each and on the third youāre revived? And I agree, starting with BR would make it better
so what your saying isā¦ you want the weapon to be pointless and useless and not a starting weapon? but instead a weapon to have dust set on it when on a weapon rac like the current plasma pistol? okay buddy, how about no
