FFA Slayer won’t launch with a fireteam/party of 2+ players. This is preventing me and my friends from switching from MCC to Infinite. I’ve never seen anybody team up in FFA Slayer over the last 3 years so that’s definitely not something that should be considered. Halo 1, 2, 3, and 4 allows people in a party to play FFA slayer in MCC so this must be a bug. There are no non-team game types for players in a fireteam to play, so this is definitely a problem Infinite is facing.
Me and my friends just put this “teaming up” concept we’ve heard about to the test. We had a party of 7 and we joined an 8 player FFA game. We all teamed up against 1 guy and that 1 guy ended up winning. Why? Because he had 7 people to shoot at and we only had 1 to shoot at, so he had the advantage by NOT being on a team. Therefore, since teaming up does not give you an advantage and since nobody teams up in FFA to begin with, a party/fireteam of 2+ players should be allowed to play FFA slayer.
