…will prove that the playlist should never be brought back. I got to play for the small amount of time it was up before the snipers playlist went up. It’s pretty horrible in every possible aspect. The only people I can possibly see having fun in this are people that camp and don’t go for the objective(K/D boosters). In KotH you last about 3 seconds in the hill if you’re lucky. In Oddball if you manage to hold the ball for 5 seconds without dying you’re obviously professional. Regular oddball needs replaced with 3 ball in FFA. KotH just doesn’t work. Moshpit would almost work better than crazy king. The person that get’s the luckiest spawns/hill movement are going to be the people winning the games.
Other playlist are much more deserving. Action Sack, Multi-team, Grifball, Extraction, Doubles, Fiesta, and Rumble Armory just to name a handful.
Either way this weeks rotational playlist is bad so I kinda hope Spartan Ops Episode 4 is a re-playable one.

I wasn’t really saying it’s numbers when it was out. I’m saying that I pretty much know it will have low numbers. I can’t see casuals or competitives enjoying it. Casuals are going to either go for the objective and get stomped all game or go for kills and still probably get dominated by tryhard kids. Good kids will just go for kills and make it even harder to gain the already hard to gain objective. Multi-team makes far more sense for the gametypes offered in this playlist.
I doubt I’ll be playing it much/at all but objective games shouldn’t be mixed with slayer so I’m glad they went this way, look at ctf and btb populations, btb in line with team slayer and ctf squashing any objective playlist I can remember. I think it will keep the slayer nuts playing slayer and objective minded people fighting for a hill in thier own playlist
It’s good the objective is separate from slayer. However, FFA slayer was much more needed than this playlist. Regicide needed to be outright replaced, and they have not done so. And removing snipers? I’m already losing faith in these people, they have not done too well at making the community happy so far. We have been really clear what is needed in matchmaking, and yet they persist in ignoring us, presumably because the playlists they choose are the ones only their staff want.
