So I’m trying to play BTB but every single game is an objective game. There needs to be a BTB slayer playlist. Objective games are okay, in my opinion. But it took me dashboarding 6 times to get a slayer game. 343 wants to make objective game types cool make a playlist for just that.

Objective gametypes traditionally end up with a lower population, and the two BTB playlists would be split anyway meaning both playlists would have a lower population from the start (Especially considering that people would want this to happen to regular playlists too, which causes even more splits and even more population problems.)
You’re losing a battle of attrition simply because there is only one One Slayer gametype (Slayer, duh) vs at least 3 Objective gametypes (CTF, Strongholds, Assault)
Just my opinion, but (atleast in general), I prefer objective gametypes over Slayer. CTF is bae.

I agree, I prefer slayer, I do not play anything else. It makes players quit if there is no game they like. I play Titanfall 2, they have a great system in my opinion. You can choose what you want to play. If I want pilot v pilot, I can have that alone, or you can have attrition, or a selection of all game types.
I prefer objective over slayer myself, but to each their own.
Sadly, the only viable solution would be splitting it into different playlists, but that would definitely split the population.
Or, you know, they could bring voting back…still baffled that it was removed to begin with.
I agree there is too much Objective in BTB. Unfortunately objective only playlists have never done that great, but maybe it would of been different in Halo 5 if they had one in at launch, who knows…
I just don’t see the point in having Assault and CTF in BTB or any playlist for that matter. Yes I know they’re different, but not really. I’d rather play CTF personally but that’s me. Just take out either CTF or Assault from BTB and it would help a lot I think.

Voting isn’t a good system at all in my opinion. It just leads to the same maps and game types over and over again. The one shot veto system is a happy medium I feel and I think the majority would be ok if it came back in Halo 6.
Everyone has their own preferences, and it’d be detrimental to have separate playlists. After all they took out Team Skirmish because of the lack of player base. If you prefer Slayer, just don’t change your play style stick to taking out the enemy team in those objective games. It does make a difference and can help teammates push for the objective.
I agree the population would be split. But maybe even a voting system would work.
Choice one could be slayer
Choice Two could be CTF
and choice Three could be Assault.
I know a little to late since the game has been released, but maybe in Halo 6 they could allow players to pick the game type and then the map isn’t shown until the majority vote has won. Players would pick the game type but not the map this would avoid playing the same maps over and over.
Make a btb slayer playlist so i dont have to play slayer in reg btb anymore please

I agree completely this would bring back a lot of people who enjoy the classical style of Halo BTB.

Believe it or not, there are people who enjoy CTF or Assault BTB. Why should they have to have their fun taken away just because you don’t like it?

Voting causes a lot of problems and the biggest is that the same map and gametype will be chosen over and over again, or in MCC’s case you’re stuck playing Halo 3. It’s a horrible system and I’m glad it’s gone.
I wouldn’t mind seeing veto return but honestly I’d rather keep it randomized.

No, it would not, as I already explained. And that’s a horrible setup. There’s four gamemodes in BTB: Slayer, CTF, Assault, and Strongholds. Your idea only supports three gamemodes. If voting did return, it should be like MCC where an Objective gamemode is on the left, Slayer in the middle, and a random third option for the third slot. If there’s a tiebreaker, then the match will be the leftmost option and the people that lost the vote would have to accept it.
Also OP, don’t dashboard. I don’t care if you don’t like objective gametypes or not. Quitting the game just because it’s not what you want to play is not the answer.
More like, Big Team Battle is saturated with Assault. CTF appears a bit, but slayer and strongholds are unbelievably uncommon.
I agree with the whole map on the left gets selected. And to counter your dashboard comment i figure i paid for the game i should be able to dashboard, or as you put, quit anytime I want to try and get the game type I desire. That doesn’t only go for me but everyone else who doesn’t want to play a game type they are not too found of and keep getting put into.

I agree one hundred percent i guess it wouldn’t be so bad if matches started fresh rather than being thrown into the middle of match only to have a the enemy ahead by a huge margin.
Why not do both? You can play like it’s slayer in an objective game and also do some objective work even if it’s minimal.

And people paid money to play the game with a full team and if you quit, even with JIP, you’re putting your team at a disadvantage for a period of time just because you are being selfish.
They put warnings and punishments in for quitters for a reason. Because you’re not suppose to do and if you do it too much, you’ll be in trouble. Hell, I’d love it if Halo went the Gears route and made it so that the only way to quit is a dashboard. If you do, you are given the option to rejoin the game within the next five minutes, unless the match ends. If you do rejoin, you will loose the penalty and can continue playing. If you don’t, you are suspended from matchmaking for like fifteen minutes and can’t do anything. If you’re in a party, the leader must kick you for the others to play. First quitter gets the harshest punishment. It’s such a great system.
Video games, and entertainment as a whole, are a luxury, not a right.
Then if that’s the case it should be a luxury for someone to quit if they want considering video games aren’t cheap.

I never said there wasn’t people who don’t enjoy CTF or Assault. I myself enjoy both but prefer CTF. I’m merely saying that I feel these game modes are pretty similar and don’t feel it’s warranted having both of them in BTB as they aren’t different enough I think.
I agree with TheMenacePotato BTB seems pretty saturated with assault. I rarely get Strongholds and a bit of Slayer. I get CTF a decent amount.
I prefer objetive gametype
