Basically an Action Sack sort of gametype, similar to Race in that it allows you to spawn players in vehicles. You could have your pick of any vehicle in the game; Scorpions, Ghosts, Mantises, Banshees, Phaetons- whatever. It’d be cool to have a weekend playlist set on special Forge maps with this sort of thing. Mantis Slayer, Phaeton Slayer, Scorpion Slayer… you get the idea.
Your thoughts?
This would be fun but Ghosts won’t really help against a Banshee or Phaeton.

Players would all be driving the same vehicles, just like Race. So it would be everyone in Phaetons, or everyone in Banshees depending on the game settings. You have Ghost Slayer, Scorpion Slayer, Mantis Slayer, Banshee Slayer, Phaeton Slayer… you get the idea.
Here’s what I suggest: Make it a social arena playlist(permanent slot, not a rotation). It’s a normal 12 minute match, but here’s the catch: Within a certain amount of time frame, you start out with certain vehicles. So for example, all players start with a ghost and try to destroy each other with them. After say a 1 minute rotation, you move up to a gun-goose, then a wraith, scorpion, banshee, mantis, then finish it off with a phaeton. All players are under this effect, regardless of kills/points earned.
As usual, player with most points wins, since I’m suggesting a FFA type deal here. I’m just throwing out my idea on this one.
yea rocket hog race ala reach
I want a racing gamemode

Not a bad idea… especially considering we don’t have voting in Halo 5 matchmaking, some players my get ticked off if they were stuck playing Ghost Slayer over and over without any opportunity to play Phaeton Slayer or Mantis Slayer; I’m having a similar problem in Warzone, where I can never get a match on Battle of Noctus. I haven’t played that map once since it dropped.
And yes, it should be FFA. Better yet, it would be cool if they could make the vehicles take on player armor colors… if that’s possible.
No thanks. But I wont begrudge you if you do.
Just a vehicle focused BTB gamemode would be good enough for me, I don’t know why no one has mentioned this before. I hate getting a cool Req then getting immediately killed as soon I use it. I know some people would say “just go play warzone” but when is the last time you saw someone use a phaeton? Or any vehicle v vehicle combat that you don’t have to get angry about because you just wasted that precious banshee ultra? So a vehicle based gamemode would be greatly aprriceated:)
And don’t say it will ruin warzone because if 343 can add helioskrill into req packs they can add vehicles into arena.
I want Hog Wars on Coagulation lol
But yes i want BTB Vehicle Slayer where its all vehicles every kind. and just go at it. i feel the mantis and the Phaeton get no love at all. and i feel it even more with banshee and wraith when they are on so few maps and mantis, scorpion, phaeton aren’t in the game or have been removed. we need a big space open map for them to move and have that. to would help with commendations too but it would also be nice for heavy vehicular battles which i want to see more of. I want to be in a phaeton and mantis blowing stuff up but also blowing up mantis and phaeton.

You haven’t been on Noctus once since it dropped? Ouch, it’s not a bad map IMO, but the snipers/BR long-shot pick offs are real on that map. And colorized vehicles based on player’s armor…now your talking.
I vote for Halo 3 Rocket Race. But I’m fine with your suggestion. (Need more vehicle commendations :0)

Yes. I would like to see this implemented.
I think they should bring back Rocket Race from Halo 3, haha!
BTB should be more vehicle oriented. But air battles or Tank battle should be awesome.
A vehicle themed gametype would be really cool. Rocket Race in Reach was fun, any type of Vehicle gametype would definitely be a blast though.
343i need to see this, it could have community maps in it so they don’t have to make dedicated maps! This sounds like a good idea though!

Yeah, I actually got to play it for the first time an hour ago. Didn’t see many snipers, but I was picking off guys with my Sentinel BR.
Anyway, glad you like my idea.
Yes. I have no clue why they don’t have a Heavies gametype for BTB just like Halo Reach.
This is the funnest gametype in BTB for Reach.
Btb heavies…do it!
