I think it’d be awesome to have a game mode like Search and destroy in Halo 4. Something where you play a certain number of rounds with no respawns, and some sort of objective. I think a game mode like this can really fit the style, gameplay, and fiction of Halo.
Its called one bomb plant. its been in just about every halo game?
No respawn gametypes just promote slaying over doing the objective.
One bomb assault has respawns. And killing is probably the more important part of search and destroy. The bomb planting is something that just creates interesting scenarios.
<— has counterstrike for 360, its pretty fun. But i highly doubt this kind of playlist would work.
I mean have you SEEN the advantage a team of 4 has over a team of 3? Its like that, but now for the whole round.
Its just not right for halo.
Halo already had an S&D-style gametype long before CoD did. It was called Elimination. It didn’t turn out so well.

The objectives give the match a focal point and sometimes do make a difference.

Not with halos types of maps. This kind of gametype requires long paths that dont intersect for a while.
Look at counter strike, a lone man can grab a flag(hostages) and score it, even with the whole team alive. Its because of the LOS and structure of those maps. If the enemies werent on the right side to begin with, theres no room for error. In halo however, it would take but a few seconds to get in a LOS with the carrier.
No thank you. Never bothered playing the gametype in COD, and now that I’ve been all COD out I’d like the mechanics of Halo 4 to not overly implement the “innovations” COD had. Counter-Strike is really it’s own type of FPS, so having such a gametype is understandable for their own mechanics.
Plenty of new gametypes to think of for this game without resorting to Search and Destroy.
