Why is this a thing?
When people ask for social modes are they seriously thinking Social CTF, Social Slayer etc…
When i think Social mode i think Grifball, Infection, Fiesta, Rocket Party, Sumo etc…
I was really hoping for Community BTB since its been confirmed for weeks now
I am interested in playing it. There are a lot of CTF-related commendations that I need to work toward. I am happy that there is now a social list that is not BTB-specific. This doesn’t mean that they cannot use community maps in BTB in the near future.
Social modes to me isn’t a game type, it’s playing simply to have fun and not worry about my rank. Could care less what the game type is really.
Social CTF = closest thing to Team Objective, another social playlist, so yes I have been asking for this. Besides the gametype will rotate every week.
Kinda hard to have someone of those gametypes in when we don’t even have the option to make them in custom games

Hardly social
It’s a team objective mode…
Objective =/= Social
200% health slayer with rockets and speed turned up to 200%= Social
Getting in warthogs pushing people off the edge of a platform= Social
If they’re going to call this “Social” they need to at least turn off stat tracking so i can play in a social way and not ruin my stats anymore

Social is being laidback and relaxed without worry of K/D and ranks, just playing with friends and randoms for fun. It’s not just crazy gametypes, that’s Action Sack. Social Slayer and Objective are as social as Grifball and Infection, same goes for BTB and Warzone even if they are a mess right now. It’s been like this since Halo 3 why the hell should it change now?

BTB and this coming Social CTF effect your K/D that’s my biggest issue here with these
I can’t casually play if my stats are still going to be impacted

Eh, I’ve never cared for K/D even in ranked.
I’ve been dying for a dedicated CTF playlist. Ranked or social doesn’t matter to me.
Social arena matchmaking… that allows a full on 5 people fireteam? How is that social? Another arena map to suffer bad team balance soloing against full fireteams. What’s different?!

Well i do :\ i use it to tell if i’m getting better or worse i’ve made a lot of progress
I’d hate to play these “Social” Modes in a Social way just to ruin my progress it’s also going to make everyone else try hard in these “Social” modes because they have no choice its go hard or wreck your stats there will be no chilling

Why do fire teams matter if people want “social play”? If people want social play without ranks and such then why care about playing vs other fire teams? Worried of losing? Why you worried? It’s social after all.
I’ve actually been complaining that we havent had CTF since day one, I hated trying to play games of CTF and getting everything else in the Arena playlist instead. Making it social seems an oddity to me, though.

That’s what social should be like, instead you end up not having any fun due to you not being matched with similarly skilled players. Half of the time you will just get decimated by the enemy team when a social ranked game mode is played.
Not I… but 343’s market research and analysis concludes that the (non-vocal, casual, weekend-warrior types) have been “begging for it since launch,” or some -Yoink-… lol
People want actual Social playlists, not ones where a hidden MMR system is used.
Why can’t they just implement playlist selections similar to that of Halo 3.

Those had things like social slayer though…
And a hidden MMR is so teams are sort of well matched up and not all one sided.

But it is one sided…
And the ranking crap is still there just invisible…
MMR is not for party restrictions btw… that is something that is completly broken/not there in Halo 5.
