You’d think after 10 years of Halo with differen’t game types that Halo 4 would release with all the playlists and gametypes from previous Halos?
But no, all we get is 9 gametypes. Halo Reach launched with around double that.
Where is:
Team Snipers?
FFA? (Not damn Regicide)
Juggernaut? (Regicide ain’t no Juggernaut)
Assault? (In fact, is the bomb in the game at all?)
Territories? (While Dominion is cool, it ain’t Territories)
Just to name a few.
Also, why the hell don’t we have a Grif Ball gametype straight up? It doesn’t make sense.
It feels like 343 wasn’t even prepared for the multiplayer at all.
Plus where is a gametype for those who want to play true Halo? Where you don’t have to get damn kills for guns and have them around the map, like they should be in the first place?
343 did deliver in the campaign, but didn’t do a top notch job in the multiplayer department.
And yes, I know some of you here would say “just wait a few weeks and there will be more gametypes”…
Why should we have to wait for gametypes that should have been there already?!
Halo has been around for years now! We should have TONS of gametypes to choose from in Matchmaking…not just 9!
I can understand waiting for new gametypes in Halo 3 or Reach, but when they launched we had heaps to play with.
Halo 4’s multiplayer seems to have less to offer, if not, nothing to offer.
They are adding swat this coming week, and they say they will be rapidly adding gametypes, but I agree that they should have had all of the playlists sorted out before the game launched

Always remember, Playlists can be added and removed later. Judging by how Swat is basically already set up for custom games, I would say they at least plan on adding that later. Normal FFA is not hard to make so I would assume that could come later
I still don’t see how Regicide doesn’t qualify as FFA though. Its like the same thing with an interesting and unique twist.

I agree that Regicide is hardly enough for FFA, and 6 players is too few for many of Halo 4’s maps. Where’s my FFA Infinity Slayer playlist? I could go for that…
I miss 18 player infection and invasion. Even if Invasion was Bungies little Reach exclusive, I still wish it was in H4.
The fact that Grifbal and Extraction are available for custom games and not a pub playlist really annoys me too. Hopefully the planned weekly updates will help out alot.
Halo Reach had 10 playlists at launch. But TS had SWAT in it Rumbel Pit had Infection.
Anyway yes i agree, i dont get it why Halo doesn’t come with the Playlists we all love. After all if i enjoy say SWAT no SWAT and i may end up not playing the game, sure they might ad it later on but how are you as a player going to find out about it unless you look here or a friend that still plays the game tells you, or if you just happen to deside to pop in a game you dont play anymore.
