So recently a new social arena called halo 2 BR slayer was recently released. I personally believe it to be a waste. having a BR start in the game in general is too overpowered. Making it a halo 2 BR start makes it even more. It seems too similar to basic slayer yet too easy to get kills and Shouldn’t stay in social arena for long. What do you guys think?
The BR Playlist is indeed a waste. Too easy to get kills, even newbies can 4 shot in this game. H5 Bulletmagnetism is just ridiculous. I vote for taking it the -Yoink- out and put Social Skirmish back in again. Ever since Social Skirmish got removed i have no idea what to do in H5 lol. I prefer classic 4v4 Slayer and Objective gametypes, but i dont wanna play ranked since i play solo usually. So i can’t play anything.
That is why it’s “social”. It’s supposed to be a fun casual playlist. I liked it. I just wish they had used the anniversary throwback maps.

Yes, it’s so much “fun” playing a game mode where no is capable of missing.
It’s not showing up for me

Restart your internet router to flush out the issues. It’s an occasional bug that happens to most of us.

It isn’t much different than super fiesta when you certain weapons. Sorry not every playlist caters to HCS “try hards”

Don’t you have a “perfect” sandbox to defend in the Tuning thread?

If a playlist isn’t showing up for you, quit out of Halo 5 and restart your Xbox. That should fix the issue, but if it still doesn’t work, then restart your internet router/modem.
oops, I accidentally double posted.
personally i think it is their because some people haven’t unlocked the h2 BR in warzone and some people just want to use it.i don’t see a big problem with because its in social where people can just have fun,not in the ranked playlist.

The what? It’s funny how serious some take these rotational SOCIAL playlist. They aren’t HCS or even ranked playlist. They are social. To me social is supposed to be a more easy relaxed fun playlist.

Okay? That doesn’t excuse the fact that a brain dead monkey could aim the H2BR, and the only people who think that nonsense is fun are the ones abusing that fact. I truly don’t get why you people don’t think fun and balanced can go hand in hand, and need a bunch of broken, overpowered nonsense in order to have said “fun”. Super Fiesta is one thing, but a standard slayer match but now no one can miss is the entertaining gimmick? No thanks.

So it’s not for you… Guess what not every playlist is going to cater to your liking. Also balance… What is not balanced about every one starting with the H2BR? Sounds pretty balanced to me. It’s fine some don’t like H2BR starts. Myself and others I am sure others like it just fine. I hate swat… I think it’s stupid and talk about a brain dead playlist. One head shot for a kill whoopee… if I wanted that easy of kills I would play COD. Swat defeats the whole purpose of even playing as a Spartan. But hey others love it and that’s fine.

If we go by your logic on balance, than everyone running around with a pocket nuke that instantly ends the game is also balanced. “Everyone has it it, so therefore it’s balanced.” Everyone having something is not the only prerequisite to balance. How said weaponry function and their contributions to the overall gameplay experience is incredibly important as well, a fact that you will oh so happily ignore.

Whatever man… Every having the same weapon that does the same thing is balance. Just because the H2BR is easier to use doesn’t mean it’s not balanced. Just means you need to use different tactics to win the fights.

Yeah that tactic is hope your opponent aims somewhere outside of a 90° angle in your general direction. Give me a -Yoinking!- break. What a -Yoinking!- counterplay.

But the thing sbout that is that it is so much randomness that it is fair becuase while sometimes there are crazier weapons, the other team has enough of different weapons to take him or her down easier its balanced in that way

The difference between SWAT and COD is that it is not one shot kill. You need to be able to clock in head shots in order to have those instakills you are talking about. In the entire game, the best way to get kills is with accuracy and head shots. It’s a showcase of the foundation of all strategy in halo

Sorry you don’t know how to use your thrusters or cover around the maps or coordinate with your team.
