This is the weekend a lot of people predicted warzone turbo would come back because all the month of mythic packs have been released and can be more easily and widely used in turbo. Instead of warzone turbo, 343 decides on a slayer game type with carbine/storm rifle starts as their featured playlist of the week. You can’t make this stuff up folks.
It’s not bad I guess but shotty snipers was way better and would go great with the nornfang packs if they had to do an arena playlist.
Warzone turbo would have been way better I agree plus and you would think they would want to drive sales. I have a lot of crap to burn and was looking forward to turbo.
Have you played it yet? It’s wicked fun! Better than Turbo IMO.
It was a major missed opportunity for sure, I don’t know what’s going on over at 343 with the people who decide what the featured playlists are going to be, but they really dropped the ball on this one. It would’ve helped all the people who bought the mythic packs burn through them faster and not congest regular warzone with them as much going forward. It would’ve helped sell more nornfang packs, and it would’ve been a lot of fun and a great change of pace from their warzone firefight featured warzone playlist, which has been featured for what, three months now?
It’s way better than regular slayer.
There’s still another week left in September.
I’m actually really enjoying Covenant Slayer. Having cool REQs as power weapons (Rain of Oblivion, Blissful Slumber, etc.) adds a lot of neat variety. It’s much more interesting than Warzone Turbo. What I don’t understand, however, is why they don’t make this a part of Action Sack, or a Social Slayer playlist. It’s interesting and fun to play.
Plus, hearing that Covenant Slayer was in got me interested in popping in my Halo 5 disc over Destiny, so that says a lot.

Yeah, wzff has been featured for three months. You’d think people would’ve gotten sick of killing the same ai within the first few days, but that’s the kind of demographic 343 caters to now. I wouldn’t expect anything less out of them at this point.
Im thinking and hoping WZT aka best playlist in Halo will come next weekend

They might be testing if people like it to add it to Action Sack

People liked it back in the Bungie days in Halo 2, 3 and Reach… Why would they not like it now?

The fact there are req weapons in it instead of the vanilla ones.
Meanwhile I’m sitting here waiting for Forerunner Slayer.
I could be here a while.

Fair point, but we’re talking about a social/fun gametype here. The REQs that are added make things more varied and interesting, I highly doubt that 343i needs a test playlist to figure out whether or not it works. If they really want a playlist to test out the community’s reaction, they should do it with more crucial stuff, such as Magnum/AR starts in BTB, or Assault in BTB, or Oddball, or Ricochet .
