Team doubles and social 5v5 I mean.
I really enjoy team doubles. I think this playlist adds a games changing strategy that breaks up the 4v4 grind. It’s a nice change of pace. I can’t for the life of me figure out why 343 pulled this playlist without replacing it with something. On a game with limited content they need to be adding, not subtracting, it just doesn’t make any sense to me.
I didnt really care for holiday social as much but it did serve a purpose to our company. one that I’m surprised that devs can’t see as a huge benefit considering how much they’re pushing for team play. (Companies,co-op campaign, competitive team oriented arena etc.
We developed a bit of a routine when coming on to play some halo 5 in the evenings. We’re a casual crew with whacky different schedules so we all come on at different times. This is the way it usually plays out, come on play some FFA for a warm-up,finish game and someone came on looking for a teammate. Pair up jump into doubles. Play doubles until someone else wants to come on. This continues into slayer, social, BTB and finally custom games or warzone. its a nice progression system that allows for a constant full fireteam or very close to it for companies.
Most groups of gamers run different schedules and are not all on at the same time. Having these different playlists that can be run at full parties at different quantities of fireteam members is a huge benefit. One that is very fun. A full communicating fireteam with guys you routinely play with is more fun in any playlist.
Add more playlists. And then leave them there! Removing doubles was just dumb. In my opinion holiday social needed some mmr tweaks to be more enjoyable, should have been fixed, not removed.
