So I haven’t been ranked in FFA yet in Halo 5 but I like the gametype, and just finished my 3rd placement match. And it was literally a campfest on Plaza. Grab a BR on the stairs, immediately start receiving AR fire in the back, dead. Spawn near the plasma pistol, grab it, and I’m watching the radar, take 2 steps, then AR fire from 2 directions, dead. The leader, is camping in that little room near the PP crouching with the sniper, not moving. A guy up on the ledge, near OS not sure what that area is called, camping. Everyone camping the whole game. I’ve played 2 other matches and they weren’t like this. Are all FFA games camping only? Should I even bother to get ranked? Seriously not fun this type of game. Does anyone else have this experience in FFA? Would 8 players make it more action based? Worse? Is this how high level matches go? I’m sure the low levels run around. There were 2 plats in the game, 4 unranked.
I play with headphones and literally, there was no noise at all. Everyone was stationary, crouching, waiting for someone to come to them. Before the get gud comments start flying, I’ve been playing since H1 and am at least average at this game but this was a first. I barely ever posted on this forum but I’d love to hear others’ experiences with FFA.
I play a lot of FFA and the camping gets less the higher you rank. Also 8 players was complete garbage in H5 with their tiny maps. FFA is probably my favorite playlist in H5.
There’s going to be camping with radar/AR starts but you’re not going to win if you’re not controlling weapons and powerups. you’ll get a feel for where people like to camp and that helps to nullify the jump they get, you just have to win your fights and find more fights than the campers. FFA can be frustrating in this game, just try to relax and hit shots. Think of it as the most engagements per minute playlist and don’t take it too seriously.
It depends on which maps you play on. Sometimes there aren’t any good places to camp
It’s because people spawn behind you constantly when you move around the map in FFA.
That’s why I stay far away from that wretched playlist. Never was a fan of FFA, and never will be.

This is a very important factor. With the new movement speeds, the much smaller radar, & the small arena maps FFA can be a brutal & savage game mode. I think the arena maps need to be doubled in size, & the old radar returned.
small map gameplay is just dumb, every 5 sec you get the feeling that someone is spawning or appearing behind you and you’re most likely correct
