Husky Raid to me is one of the most thrilling and fun game types in Halo. Could Husky Raid be potentially an experimental ranked playlist? Kind of similar to how hardcore super fiesta was rotated in for a season. Could it be used in an HCS setting? Or just used as a fun change of pace during a tournament like how Big Team was played in the SXSW invitational. That opens the door for discussion, maybe there could be a more refined version in a competitive setting with regards to the random weapon spawns.
What do you guys think of the potential of this game type.

I love Husky Raid but it’s not something I’d want to see become ranked. It’s perfect as a social playlist and I hope its a launch playlist.

As an experimental ranked playlist? Possibly. In an HCS environment? Definitely not. Regardless of any tweaks, rng weapon spawns couldn’t work on a pro stage.
I’ll definitely be forging Husky Raid in halo infinite, even if it’s a straight line with a neutral flag. As for ranked, I’ll probably say no, whilst Husky can be sweaty it in its’ core is a pure random spawn playlist. Now if we can control the weapons being used to make an HCS playlist, sure, but at that point it’s only Husky Raid in spirit. Now having Husky Raid at a tournament? Sure! The teams occasionally play wacky and fun playlists to break up the consistent Slayer, CTF, Hill, Ball grind to the trophy.
Plus I’ve been working and tweaking Husky Raid multi team for almost 2 years, and want to expand that in halo infinite.
I would love to play Husky Raid everyday… it’s one of those look games you use to measure your team awareness skills. Some players go first, others protect the camp. The best team to organize and control the tunnel is usually going to win. If y’all bring it back, just let me know…. I bet my wife could beat most everyone in a tournament, I’ll put some crypto on it. Thanks for letting me rant, but we’re about to play and saw the msg of the day pop up😏
I agree with all of the replies. Please bring Husky Raid back to the social play list. A lot of the folks that I played with were extremely happy every time a HR map rotated in.
Halo 5 Husky Raid had some of the best maps and experiences of the franchise.
As much as I think Infinite’s Forge is up for the challenge, the weapon sandbox is a little bland compared to Guardians.
