This no social skirmish/slayer stuff is so dumb. Our only real halo game is btb which is garbage because of vehicles. Am I the only one that enjoyed played social slayer? It’s great for solo playing although it’s usually more competitive than ranked. Why did they take any fun social playlist away? Halo2 br. Halo ce. Social skirmish/slayer.
How is a gametype that’s supposed to have vehicles in it garbage because it has vehicles in it?
They took Skirmish away because it was taking away players from the ranked playlist and that’s most likely the reason why we don’t have Social Slayer either. They might bring it back, but it would probably just be a rotational playlist.
I’m saying it’s garbage because it’s the only option in social and it has vehicles. I don’t care if it has vehicles if I have any other option to choose from that isn’t random gun spawn and dumb mini games.
I know I hardly touched Skirmish once it was clear it was just the Social version of Team Arena. And since there was hardly any difference in competition between Skirmish and Arena, I decided I’d rather spend that time playing for a rank. So in that sense, it was a waste of space as far as I was concerned.
Next week we’re getting a Halo 3 throwback playlist so you can look forward to that at least.

BTB - Big Team Battle, of course there’ll be vehicles, that’s what BTB is known and loved for. The problem with BTB is that the playlist embarrassingly lacks any hard on vehicle action compared to all previous Halo games.

Hopefully it’s actually “classic” settings unlike the halo ce playlist.

Thats fairly reflective of what the official statement was. Social Skirmish had a low player count and had a lot of game-type double up with healthier playlists.

How can you say that there’s no vehicle action in BTB when every freaking time i get spawn killed by a banshee? And they are also really frustrating to kill.
A few days ago i got a freakin 30 kills perfection with a banshee and watching the gameplay in the theater i could feel the enemy team’s frustration as they were all camping inside the building.
I mean, i’m fine with vehicles like warthogs/moongoses but others such as banshees, ghosts, mantis or wasps are just so annoying to deal with.

If you read carefully through my response, I said BTB lacks “hard on” vehicle action NOT vehicle action in genral. The spawns are not an excuse to not add Scorpions, Phaetons, Wasps, Banshees and Wraiths. They can just simply increase the boundaries of the maps to adopt the amount of vehicles, weapons, power weapons, movement and spawns. The spawns are the maps’ problem in layout not vehicles. You know, you could try playing BTB in Halo CE, 2, 3 Reach or 4 and chances are you’ll understand what I mean.
