Yes!
Thought it was boring the first two maps, but now after about 10 plays, it’s pretty fun.
Got a pretty sweet killtrocity already!
I can’t believe they actually added this trash type of minigame to multiplayer. What’s next, assassination tower being added to Multiplayer?
I think it’s good in custom games, but in matchmaking it’s another story.

people are just going to farm in it to stat pad and boost RP & XP like how people do in Reach’s Grifball

That’s always an issue with these types of playlists.
It’s too bad they didn’t design H5 to allow stat-tracking to be disabled in Action Sack, as well as objective and other social game types. Hopefully, it’s something they’ll consider incorporating into the next Halo.
Played some games and it was okay. I think the biggest problem is just getting decent teams. I haven’t had one game where both teams scored a flag. So far, it’s just been one team dominating or getting a flag score and then holding the other team off.
It has been a pretty fun gametype so far. It can get a bit laggy when players are quitting often because it has 16 people in the match. I have had about half of my matches so far end in ties, it might need some changes to make it possible to actually win instead of being a stalemate so often.
I think the link with flag day is simply because it’s a CTF oriented mode.

I find it is often my teammates that keep us from winning. I will have the flag and start juggling to the base because that is much faster than running with it, but during the juggle a teammate will grab it and slowly walk with it allowing the enemy to easily catch up and kill him.
Also, when trying to do a flag run I have had teammates who would rather be the one to score so they would stick me and try to do it themselves. Again, by walking slowly instead of juggling and allowing the enemy to catch up and kill them.
I just wish more players knew how to quickly travel with the flag.

That has happened to me as well. I guess that is what happens on a social playlist where not everyone knows the tricks of the trade.

I would even get in front of them as they are slowly walking to the base to try to encourage them to pass it back, but of course they would rather die holding it then actually let their team score.
As for the stalemates I did make it a challenge to myself to get as many cluster lucks as possible, really breaks up the monotonous sword duels. Overall, I do really enjoy this mode.

I have been doing the same, and fastball as well. Take the shield down in a sword duel and then sticking them kills them for the fastball medal. I would like it if spartan charges counted for that instead of just being sword kills still. It would make it so much easier to work for the commendations for my company!
Ok, so I ended up trying it out, and it is a lot of fun! ended up in a tie.

I feel the same way about charges not counting when it comes to spartan company commendations. I have been in two companies earning the Helmet twice over and always wished Griffball or something with swords would count for charges. Our first company was lucky though because that was back when you could use one speed boost for insta kill charges in Warzone lol. We knocked it out that week.

Ending in a tie is simply a sign that both teams was full of randoms or solo players. It is really fun though its like a game of sword killing tug-o-war.

Exactly! if I had been with a team maybe we’d work up a strat but I just tried it out maybe later I’ll team up with someone.

Yeah, it is unfortunate. Really?!? That would make it so much easier to get that one finished up.
I played one round yesterday; hopefully it sticks around long enough for me to give it a proper go.
I’d love for this to stick around for the next two weeks or so…I’m traveling for business but something like this I think would be a blast. Don’t have my Xbox with me so my return wouldn’t be for another week and a half.
