Simple as that. Plant and camp, occasionally mess with the other team to set them back a few seconds. Even the scenario is boring: Use this flashy thing to move boxes. Can someone come up with an explanation as to how this is supposed to be better than all the gametypes that didn’t make the cut (Headhunters, Stockpile, VIP, Race, Assault, Invasion)?
Speak for yourself, man. I love extraction.
VIP is basically Regiside (though chopped up and worse for the wear).
Race was the dumbest thing this side of Infection.
Headhunters was arbitrary.
Assault and Invasion were great though. I really miss Invasion. But, given all the server issues they’ve had with basic game types, I can only imagine how inept 343 would be at hosting a complicated game series like Invasion. Bungie even had trouble with it at first.
play throwdown extraction then come back with an opinion about this gametype.
No one ever said it was better. It is just a new game type that is trying something new. I find the game type pretty fun. You can prevent losing by stealing theirs away at the last second.
It can be improved no doubt but you are basically saying that all Objective games are boring
I love playing Extraction. Very fun indeed. I do agree with you that those other game types need to be returned to us. I don’t know why they are not in this game, or at the very least in Forge.
I like extraction. It is probably my favorite gametype in Halo 4, however I am also furious that so many of the gametypes you listed are nowhere to be found.
VIP and race were always lame. (imo)
But I do agree extraction is boring.
i like the team throwdown one
VIP is basically Regicide, and Race has never been in matchmaking, so it doesn’t really matter. Headhunter was probably one of the worst gametypes in Reach because all anyone did was camp at the destination right before people scored.
Extraction isn’t the best, but I know a lot of people who like it, and it’s something new. I think it deserves to have its own playlist.
Invasion was great. I hope it makes a comeback at some point.
Extraction is fun, and even better in team throwdown with the one site at a time. But my favorite gametype from past games was 1 flag/1 bomb. That attack and defense style was an absolute blast, so many memories from last second captures/arms/defuses/etc. Really wish they had included a gametype like those. I don’t get why so many of the old favorites of the community as a whole were cut out. Doesn’t make any sense at all, and no doubt one of the reasons a lot of people have left.
It’s really nice to see people stand up for what 343 is trying to do with new gametypes and all. When people post these kinds of threads, it’s really funny to watch people just constantly shut them down lol.
Good job 343!
Btw, i love extraction. I just wish it was in a BTB setting!
It is horrible with people who think it is slayer…
I don’t even like objective and i like team throwdown extraction!!! 
> VIP is actually an objective gametype unlike Regicide, which isn’t nearly as good, and Rocket Race was great in matchmaking, although I wasn’t much of a fan, and would never be so bold as to say my opinion is the only one that really matters. Thats why i have to objectively say that Headhunter was probably one of the best gametypes in Reach because of every one who loved it in the multi-team community. Obviously I was never a fan if multiteam because these gametypes were obvious staples if that playlist, and in my personal opinion they aren’t the greatest buy I would never presume to know better than anyone else or assume my opinion matters more.

> Extraction isn’t the best, but It’s better than nothing which is what objective would be with out it, and it’s something new. I think it deserves to have its own playlist.
Is this what you meant to say?
Extraction is great on Landfall, Despair aswell. I can’t wait the playlist on Monday. The game type is a blast to play with a team and, provided you find good players, the games can be intense.
It’s called opinions. Those gametypes that you listed that didn’t make the cut but you think should have…I find to be terrible and am glad they are not in Halo 4.
That said, I’m not a fan of extraction but I also don’t really like objectives to begin with.
> VIP is basically Regicide, and <mark>Race has never been in matchmaking</mark>, so it doesn’t really matter. Headhunter was probably one of the worst gametypes in Reach because all anyone did was camp at the destination right before people scored.

Yes it has. Reach? It was there in one of the FFA playlists.

Youre right it is boring.
It’s demolition from CS except infinite lives and either team can arm the bomb.
Not saying it’s bad, but that’s what it is.
