Bring Ranked Squad Battle 6v6 into Halo 5

Games Other Halo
1

If you’re not familiar with what Squad Battle, it’s 6v6 objective / slayer on mid sized & BTB maps. Squad Battle was ranked in Halo 2 & in Halo 3 an they had Squad Slayer which was 5v5 Team Slayer to 75 kills in Halo Reach. I know Halo 5 had Ranked Big Team Battle at the start of the game and after you progressed into high rankings in the playlist you couldn’t really get to many games. I remember being champion 3 an then I would only be able to match the same 4 teams over and over however I think 6v6 would change that for sure. It would be 4 less people and I feel like Squad Battle offers something different an unique compared to the generic 4v4 gamemodes that matchmaking currently offers.

I would say for weapon starts just use the Big Team Battle settings BR/AR starts. Some people would rather want the pistol over the BR I get that however the pistol would never work on big maps because you cannot scope in far enough and it would be way to hard to take out a vehicle with a pistol. So if you played pistol starts basically every vehicle on the map would be just about unkillable so that’s why I say BR starts. Anyways here are the maps with there gametypes that should be used in the playlist.

Eagle Square - Assault - CTF - TS

Deadlock - Assault - CTF - TS

Fracture - Assault - CTF - TS

Recurve - Assault - CTF - Strongholds - TS

Traffic Jam - Assault - CTF - TS

It would be a different change of pace compared to the generic 4v4 maps / gametypes matchmaking has currently offered for the past year an a half.

In all honesty I just want to see the Team Arena playlist turned into a Team Objective playlist, but a Squad Battle playlist as a secondary option (in replacement of Team Arena) is an interesting thought.

100% agree.
It would be great to be able to have a ranked playlist you can play with more than 4 players, instead of being stuck with Warzone or Social.

As long as its only parties vs parties not party vs random and there more than normal game types in the playlist
