Difference between Game Modes and Playlists

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I see that a ton of people think of Game Modes and Playlists as being the same thing, so I want to try to reduce some of the confusion that occurs in threads as a result.

Game Mode: The most important thing about a game mode are the objectives and the basis used for scoring. Slayer, Strongholds, Capture the Flag, Infection, King of the Hill, and Race are good examples of Game Modes.

Playlists: These are the various options that we have available when entering matchmaking. Big Team Battle, Arena Slayer, Team Snipers, and Double Team are good examples of Playlists.

Anyone else see people mixing these up a lot? Got anything else to add?

I feel like more “game modes” need to be added to the playlist “BTB” like one bomb assault/ctf for instance
i also want them to add the game mode infection for custom games and maybe even give it a playlist

I’m always constructive. Very rarely do I let myself goof off and leave a post like this.
