Extraction: first thoughts?

Games Other Halo
1

Awful.

Of the few games I’ve played both teams have just gotten 1 objective at the same time. 5 times over and games are a race to see who can extract faster. Needless to say the games are over too fast.

Was the game originally a set time limit with continual extraction points? Because the announcer says “extract more then your enemy” But you can only extract 5, which takes about 5-7 minutes. I was most excited about this gametype but it’s actually awful. I don’t like to say it but with the gameplay it really rubs salt in the wound of how unfun Halo is to play.
I literally just played 2 games and I am done, I just dont want to play any more Halo. All I’m going to do now is try to see if I can fix my specialisations now im SR50.

Final Thought. Extraction actually makes me not want to play Halo. Anyone like it?

Haven’t played it.

I do. The whole point is to delay the other team while keeping them off yours, seeing it is the first to 5 or whoever has the highest number of caps before the clock runs out.

I think you’re overreacting to a playlist you have no idea how it works. Learn from them instead.

I don’t like it. Maybe it’s because it’s on bigger maps, to fast or something. It always ends to soon.

extraction is dominion without the bases building themselves… not impressed.

To the original poster: completely agree.

It’s…iunno. I only played a couple games. I don’t hate it, but don’t love it. I’d like it more probably if there were only one extraction point, game goes to three and it’s a massive battle. But then again, probably would be garbage.

Honestly I could care less, I just want my damn Griffball already.

Amen.

I like it. Its pretty much dominion without everyone camping with binary rifles and rocket launchers.

It needs to have a thrid one to tip the scales. When theres only two then the teams just race like you said but tossing in a third point hten players are forced to run around more

ha it’s stupid. i’ve played it a few times it’s limited. needs to be completely removed.

I think it has potential.

I don’t like it at all. I only like holding the X button to extract. Other than that, I’d much rather be playing or doing something else.

15

I like the concept a lot. My only real problem would be that they are over way too quick.

Double the amount needed and I’d be fine with it.

that was my initial reaction :confused: another fail

It needs to be set up like it is in the MLG. Extraction has been around before it hit the playlist. MLG you have one point, team rushes to cap it then defend for 40 second. These games take a good bit of time and are highly fun battling to protect and recap it. That is how it should be in the DLC playlist and they should make it a 4v4 gametype as well. Most competitive gametype in the game

Agreed, to me looks like another hate complex thread just looking for any excuse to whine. Imo and apparently in others opinions as well the playlist functions as intended. If you don’t like it, don’t play that gametype, there are plenty of other options.

There shouldn’t be two extraction points. Every time both teams just get the closest one and camp on that one all the time. It really is just about getting the last extraction before the enemy team does. If there is only one extraction point every time than both team have to fight for it and that would be better in my opinion.
