Hello fellow halo fans. I’m just now catching up on the details of halo 5. I wasn’t hyped after being a bit let down on the previous couple games (not a big fan of custom loadouts, armor abilities, kill streak rewards, instant respawn, etc), but a friend was telling me about some of the changes coming to halo 5 and it got me interested again. I was apprehensive with the news of this REQ card idea, but after reading further into it it sounds alright since it doesn’t seem to be pay-to-win.
Now my main concern is what gametypes and playlists will be available in the game. It sounds like at launch there will be a limited selection, and in the following weeks more playlists will be added. As a fan of infection and team doubles and ctf etc, my question is will these gametypes still exist in custom game settings, or are they straight being taken out and we will be lucky to have them back post-launch?
I’d have written more in the OP but these forums seem to like to make my browser on my phone crash constantly.

So we have not yet been given details confirming what gametypes will come with the game? Man I want to like and play halo again, but taking out a bunch of the playlists and gametypes I enjoyed would be a big setback.
It would be a good idea to utilize the “Search Forums” feature listed on top of the website.
They put this in place for people needing help finding an answer, to search topics that has been discussed, and to make sure people dont make duplicate posts over and over again.

Well I made this thread and was looking for any communication from 343 on the plan for gametypes like infection since before the game came out. Here we are a couple months later with forge now, and still no word from 343.
They act like “free dlc” is a favor when they release forge maps, and cut gametypes and modes that we should have had in the first place, while still making profit off their micro transactions. They have the nerve to call forge the “cartographers gift”, when in reality it was delayed content.
By halo 7 I’ll be preordering the game for $100 and it will only have bare handed Spartans. With the $50 season pass I can have the pistol included and early access to ammunition when it’s released whenever they feel like later on. And when the ammo comes I should be nothing but grateful.
Obviously hyperbole, but the trend is already set.
