Halo MCC Competitive Playlists

Games Halo: The Master Chief Collection

I’m making this to see what you all think. Currently at any given time there are seven competitive playlists. Among these, many are very low populated and hard to find a match in depending your skill rank. I personally am not in the know regarding H2C Hardcore or HCE Doubles, but other than that it seems at least two of the active playlists could be done away with.

  1. H3 Team Hardcore
    -I love H3 and hardcore is obviously a staple of the franchise but I haven’t been able to find a match in this playlist in over two years. (Rank 1)

  2. H4 Squad Battle
    -H4 Squad Battle had its moments, especially when the challenge for the BR skin was active, but since then the playlist has dried up. I have not been able to find a match in this playlist for over a year. (Rank 1)

Notes: obviously squad battle is the only active competitive playlist for H4, so canning it is not likely unless replaced by a 4v4 H4 playlist(which I would like).

H3 Hardcore on the other hand is one of three H3 playlists in the competitive domain. It could easily be replaced with H3 Lone Wolves, which I think would retain a decent population. Or at least rotate it in like H3 Doubles and H3 Hardcore Doubles are rotated.

What do y’all think? What playlists do you think should be retired, if any?

Yeah only people that could play HARDCORE H3 were people that were rank 20 and up so I’d always have to make a smurf and run with a friend. You can get some games at rank 20 now and then but everyone’s on Infinite. Hardcore doubles should be pretty easy to find at any rank at this point.

I think the playlists they have now is fine and messing with it wouldn’t do anything but maybe make the ranked population go up by a few players determining on how many ranked players still play MCC.

Which pmaylist is most populated, i just got mcc and have found 1 match in h3 slayer. Do i need to play with somone that is a higher level to find a match?

nah H3 TS should be an easy playlist to find games until you get around 25-30

In my experience, HCE Doubles is usually popping with sweaty grandpas who you wish stayed on public LAN lmao.

So you think it should be removed? It’s the only competitive CE playlist. Granted I’d rather play customs or social, but if I do play competitive I usually choose CE doubles or Invasion.

Speaking of Invasion, I do wish it wasn’t a competitive playlist-- but I don’t want it gone, I’d just prefer it in social.

The argument for a long time was that players in social would leave and make it unplayable.

But they leave and make it unplayable in Ranked. And we have the rejoin feature.

This would be an easy change and get the playlist played again.

Oh, no, no — I wasn’t saying I wanted it to be removed.

I was merely stating my own experience as Bubshe said in their original post that they weren’t aware if HCE Doubles was a dead playlist or not. And once again, in my experience, it’s definitely not a dead playlist. I was also just making a joke lol.

I think a Halo 2 Classic Hardcore Doubles playlist would perform very well.

I hope they add h3 lonewolves ranked back they can add it like they do h3 team doubles and we haven’t not got a new ranked playlists for halo 3 for along time like halo3 swat and halo3 snipers the population for h3 team hardcore is really not good i hope you guys could add halo3 swat and halo3 snipers
