Diversity in Playlists

Games Other Halo

While I do like that each playlist caters to a specific gametype, I can’t help but feel things get a bit stale as is. Take CTF for example. There used (in H2,3,Reach) to be 1 Flag CTF, Neutral Flag, Multi Flag and Pro variants of each. Now there is only one gametype, and I have to say I miss the diversity the playlists in previous Halo games offered.

Is it even possible to have different gametypes for people to vote for within playlists? I understand its probably more streamlined to treat each gametype as its own playlist, but I really miss mixing things up.

Also, with H4s settings, is 1 Flag even possible to do anymore? Don’t get me wrong, I like the current maps, but most are asymmetrical (Abandon, Complex, etc) and would totally play better with 1 Flag settings as opposed to the current setup.

Apparently they didn’t want it to be “confusing” or something for the player with too many options, so regular flag is all we get. Personally, I loved One-Flag. One-Flag on Highground made for some interesting matches.

Plus, BTB in Halo 4 is getting stale because it’s just Slayer!

we NEED big team objective and 1 flag CTF.

also desperately need Multi Team and action sack. these things are important to stop it from becoming stale

4

We need a traditional Rumble Pit, Big Team Battle, and Team Objective.

WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND HAS TOO MANY OPTIONS I MEAN TO YOINK WITH THEM

on the other hand we need more open and custom maps for BTB

When it comes down to it. They don’t want to splinter the community. Too many options and playlists makes the casual shy away. And eventually we end up with playlists with a couple hundred people in them.
