FFA Arena Slayer feels very empty with only 6 players on the board. There is a lot of downtime and empty traversal. Can we please raise the count to 8 instead? The maps just work better with 8 player gameplay.

What kind off FFA are you playing, FFA only has 6 people, i assume you want 8 people for the gamemode
Oops. Yes. My brain was doubling it. Not sure what I was thinking. If I can edit the post, I will.
Haha yeah know worries, but yeah i agree with you on FFA having 8 players instead of 6, it was only reduced to 6 because it was reduced from 8 to 6 in Guardians. I hope they do return it to 8 because FFA feels really slow paced as it currently is.
I highly agree. It was 6 in halo 5 because of how fast people moved. In halo infnite you can’t do ish so there is no one to fight half the game
I didn’t play much of Halo 5, but from what little I did, I completely understand why they took it down to 6 players.
You’re right though, the movement in Infinite is much more toned down. I think it’s safe to have 8 players again, and it feels slightly empty with just 6.
I agree, 8 would be better than 6. I run around and can’t find people, it needs more chaos.
8 players, I know your trolling. Clearly, your lobbies are filled with bots or bad players. Every lobby I’m in, the players swarm to gun fights and time the power weapons perfectly. which in turn means you will always be shot in the back. Its impossible to string consistent frags straight up. You either third party the multi-kills or you get third partied.
Actually, the player count needs to be reduced to 4 or 5 players in FFA.
Yeah, with 6 players and the super long cooldown, even small maps like Aquarius feel empty to me. I definitely support more players.
I dunno I actually prefer it this way.
Iv tried it in alot of the other halo games and I never enjoyed it but this I found pretty fun and balanced tbh.
With less players I find myself getting more battles that arent just people stealing them when low nor am I being spawned on or being trapped between multiple spawns.
Spawn killing or being spawn killed is never fun for me, neither was kill stealing so I’m very happy with 6players.

You must really like being ar’d in the back 1/2 second after you spawn if you want 8 people in the game.

I dont want 8 players until they make some better maps. I feel like I’m always getting attacked from 2 directions in fights in FFA.
Make some better maps with better design, and I’m in. Until then, I’ll stick with 6.

That’s the point of the gametype though. It’s supposed to be somewhat chaotic, and you always have to watch your back. It’s not necessarily a fair and balanced fight. It’s more of a challenge mode.
Right now, the maps feel too empty, I go long periods of time without seeing another person or being able to participate in a fight. That’s why we should go back to 8 player FFA like classic Halo games had. The maps used to also be much smaller, so FFA was extra chaotic before.
As an avid FFA player my vote is NO! Its perfect as it is. FFA should always be 6 players. These maps are no where near big enough for 8. If there was 8 players it would all come down to luck of spawn and it would be just a hectic mess. FFA isn’t supposed to be a chaos.
