Halo 4 Game Types Discussion Thread!

Alright, so we don’t really know what game types will be in the game until we open that game case and pop H4 into our disc drives. BUT what game types would you like to see in H4? Here are what I think should be in H4!

Standard Slayer: Here would be your classic vanilla game play, with all your standard noobiness!

Evolved Slayer: This would be closer to The Arena in Halo: Reach.

Team SWAT: SWAT is a MUST considering it is the BEST game type obviously, I would like to see “SWAT DMR’s” “SWAT BR’s” and “SWAT Carbine’s”.

Team Snipers: Halo matchmaking just wouldn’t be the same if there was no Snipers game type am I right? :open_mouth:

Living Dead: It’s a good way to take out anger issues, but a good way to keep children out of the more serious game types. ;D

Here are some game types that will without a doubt be in H4 because they are classic game types.

Team Objective
Rumble Pit
Double Team
Big Team
MultiTeam

Game Types that we probably get straight out of the box.
MLG (Is a MUST)
Action Sack (mostly community made maps/game types)
GriffBall (I know this is a confirmed game type, but if I had to guess they will wait for multiple community made arenas.

Game Types I WANT
MLG 2v2
This one doesn’t have to be MLG but I would LOVE a 1v1 game type, it doesn’t even have to give experience, just a good practice.

Now this last one… I have put a lot of thought into, and after a lot of Halo: Reach BETA Testing, I think Halo 4 needs some Octagon playlists! Let me explain

1v1 Octagon match ups would be just practice, no rank, no exp.
2v2 Octagon would be ranked
4v4(team) Octagon would be amazing, bigger Octagon maps, maybe even multilayered Octagons(yes they exist and they are very effective)
and of course a FFA OCTAGON!!! These would be amazing… Maybe they could ALL just be… More of “practice” matchmaking then anything, but Octagon playlist could even have their own rank/exp system like The Arena did.

Alright guys go ahead and post what you would like to see in Halo 4 or what you think of my ideas! :slight_smile:

Tower of Power should be an official gametype. Other than that I’m indifferent.

What you’ve been listing aren’t game types they are playlists just thought that I’d clarify that.

I was in a hurry to make the thread, I’m not an idiot. People get the point :slight_smile:

Invasion!

I love everything but the octagon playlists. Before I get started, I dont see any harm in having them it.

Anyway, I dont think that they should be their own playlist, mostly because of boosting and exploitation. I think you have the right idea for making them worth not exp, but I think all of “octagon” should be worth 0 exp concidering no one uses octagon maps but to warm up or 1v1.

But its ultimately not my decision, and if enough people want it in they could put it in.

I thought this would be cool, but since you’re obviously MLG biased by saying players who prefer standard slayer are noobs and infection is for little kids, I won’t be returning to this thread.

I’m not MLG biased, at all, If you actually paid any attention, I clearly stated SWAT was the best game type of all time.

I didn’t say anything about Slayer being just for noobs or kids, I said for the most part, weaker players play regular slayer compared to more competitive playlists like Arena and MLG.

And just because I love Octagons doesn’t mean I’m an MLG fanboy. I’ve forged over 50 unique and generally awesome Octagons. Not all just for slayer. Octagons can be used for anything, even SWAT, which is what I use it for most of the time.

And Don’t get me started on slayer… I obviously said I like to play infection… And you would be a huge freaking liar if you tried to say, the one playlist that has the most little kids isn’t living dead…

Go ahead, don’t come back to the thread, I don’t care. But don’t hate 'Cause I state facts and favor more competitive game play like MLG.

Living Dead should never be a full-time playlist ever again.

> Living Dead should never be a full-time playlist ever again.

Why? it is one of the most played in Reach.

11

Living dead is alright… I defiantly do NOT want it to count towards rank or exp. But it should be in the lot with GriffBall. It’s fun to play but just… Not that great. Sure does help me getting all these multikills for this weeks weekly challenge tho ;D

> Living Dead should never be a full-time playlist ever again.

You don’t want me to have fun? To relax? To chill back, and just play just for the sake of playing? To not have to be competitive for once? Well, you’re mean.

OT: Since Infection is confirmed to be in Halo 4 by Rooster Teeth, I’m all good. I got Spartan Ops to play a lot (Loved ODST Firefight), Ranked for competitiveness, and Living Dead to relax to.

  1. Bring back VIP

  2. If Living Dead does return as playlist, make it so that K/D and W/L is not recorded. This will make sure stat-padding doesn’t occur. Living Dead is supposed to be “for fun” right? Then there should be no qualms about having K/D and W/L not count.

Also, I think it should pay a lot less points then a normal kill would in a normal playlist.

VIP was pretty good…
