Halo 4 needs a 'relaxation" playlist

So when you play Halo, most of the time you’re going to be on your competitive edge because you care a lot about your K/D, me being one of those people. Now I want to play the game just for fun, and although I do have a lot of fun I can never play it in a relaxed manner because I worry so much about my stats.

So what we need is relaxation, À la Halo 3’s Social slayer.

Basically it’s a mashup of the really fun gametypes, including slayer, where stats are not recorded. K/D doesn’t change, BPR, etc. It would be really nice to lay back and have some serious fun, and then when I want to feel competitive hop on the official playlists.

Now we want people to flock to this playlist to take a break, so ranking up can be made a lot slower to get people to stick to the official playlists.
We need this because honestly I can’t play without sweat rolling down my arms (yes, this has happened to me).

It would be nice to be able to turn it off. Stats are a terrible thing for players who just want to have fun, yet they are surrounded by a community of e-peen trolls.

That would be great, especially because the game puts you and your friends against an enemy team equal to the skill of the best player.

would play this! once I’m done leveling up I’d play this mainly so I could host a dance party with my teamates. haha :smiley:

I ignore K/D in Halo 4 because it changes based on what you play. Oddball kills k/d. Id rather not have stats at all and why i dont support true skill ranks. The anger that HAlo 2 and 3 had around them just didnt need to be there. I want some fun playlists. Gsmetypes that make no sence. BTB on Adrift with Binary Rifles

you know you could just not care about your stats and not let virtual gaming get to you so bad that you sweat and stress urself over a video game

go play customs if u want that playlists or you know stop caring about your stats like they are gameplay

yes yes yes… please… we NEED a rank and a social both with some different gametypes.

social: slayer, objective, FFA, and a rotation of oddball, infection, and fiesta.

ranked: slayer, objective, FFA, doubles, and a rotation of snipers and swat.

that would be 7 full time playlist and 2 rotating. this give everyone choices including the hyper-competitive and the super casuals.

What’s to get stressed about, it is a video game, not only that but it is a game in a game, after the Red and Blue Spartans are done with the training simulator they all chill in the barracks and haze the annoying Spartans who think it is cool to cammo-camp with Boltshots. :smiley:

ACTION SACK WAS THE GREATEST

This is a good idea
il admit, i get a little carried away with my stats, however, in my defense, it gives me motivation and a goal to achieve when i play

but a playlist where none of it would be recorded? YES! that would be pretty cool

Normal matchmaking IS the relaxation playlist.

What Halo 4 needs is more competitive playlists.

But yes, I hate stat tracking as well.

EVERYONE ELSE cares about your stats though. If you make a post on the forums people will inevitably say "LOLOL U SUCK BRO, MY 1.5 K/D BEATS YOUR 1.4 K/D.

> ACTION SACK WAS THE GREATEST

That’s probably what you are thinking of OP.

Well I see your point in it only being a video game, but I really love competitive Halo.

Haha Definitely :smiley:

Social/ranked

You don’t need a masters degree in Computer Science or be a master at multi-variable Calculus to do something as painfully obvious as this.

Infection used to be my relax playlist. Now it’s just dumb.

> So when you play Halo, most of the time you’re going to be on your competitive edge because you care a lot about your K/D, me being one of those people. Now I want to play the game just for fun,

Stop caring about your overall K/D ratio. Its meaningless, especially if you are playing all of the game types. I dont know what mine is and could care less. I have went for achievements/challenges that destroyed my K/D ratio as I am sure all of us have. I have done stupid things like trying to stick people with grenades the whole game. My k/d ratio does not tell you anything about how good or bad I am at the game for this reason.

And as others suggested: Social/Ranked as H3 had.

There is a lay back and relax playlist. It’s called Flood.

Well maybe I wanna care. Maybe it’s important to me and not you.

Definitely agree, although I highly doubt 343i would do it. They don’t want to give us choice, they want us to play the game how they want it.

The whole game is social.

Also, if you don’t want to worry about stats, just stop caring about them. It’s that simple.
