Where is all the social playlists? I can’t stand having to tryhard every single match. Sometimes I just wanna sit back and play casually rather than competitively, but 343 is shoving these E-Sports playlists down our throats. They promised weekend social playlists, but we didn’t get them. Why 343? Why do you have to cater to only one audience rather than all? Seriously, I can’t stand E-Sports.
OP, if you don’t play for the competition, why do you care if you perform good or bad? There’s always easy campaign as well.
100% this. Totally agree.
It’s such a barebones amount of content we have right now.
I don’t play breakout so I haven’t even played those arena maps. Plus the Arena maps for Slayer are awful (I ********* hate Rigs…so bad, spawn and shot within 2 seconds of spawning…fun!).
Warzone is terrible. Warzone Assault is the only thing I play at the moment since it gives you the most action/minute but it’s a shell of BTB.
I want Social playlists LIKE MULTI-TEAM, fiesta, assault, and obviouly BTB CTF and Slayer on good open maps! Why we don’t have this on release doesn’t make sense…(oh wait yes it does because they want to shove Warzone down our throats since that is a microtransaction-enabled gametype that sucks $ out of noobs wanting cool items so they can die faster and look at their dead shiny bodies).
I was really looking forward to weekend playlists but they never showed up 
plus they told us a while back that we’d hear about them within the week and it’s been far more than a week.
Sadly there are none, its like the entire game was infected with MLG playlist fever. People who just want to play for fun are SOL. 343 overcompensated when people said Halo 4 wasn’t competitive enough, now that’s all we get.

Just lose your placement matches and bronze will feel just like social. But yes, there should be the weekend social playlists.

I appreciate your efforts but honestly it’s not helping, gimping yourself so you can play with crappy players isn’t going to fix anything. The sad fact is 343 themselves went “tryhard” on this game and wound up making it overly serious and lacking the basics that made Halo fun for everyone.

Not just weekend. They need to copy Halo 3. Have a Ranked playlist and a Social playlist.

What they need is BTB with a side of CTF. Territories on Warzone is getting old pretty fast.

Game came out 6 days ago. It can’t have been far more than a week. However I do agree they should’ve started social playlist this past weekend if they are doing them on weekends.

Why do you call bronze crappy? Maybe that is your tier in this game. How low of a bar do you want? What is casual enough for you in a game that’s about shooting other players and getting to 50 to win the game?
I fully agree with this thread, I for one work full time and can barely play 3 hours a night. I’m 100% fed up with people who literally play Halo all day and night spawn killing me every time I spawn. I don’t give a **** about my rank or even my kdr but what I can’t stand is players acting like they’re in MLG and making me go ridiculously negative every game just because they have the spawns memorized. It’s total bs for people like me who just want to relax and game… I literally just rage quit a game of Slayer because I got headshotted 3 times in a row AS SOON AS I SPAWNED… 363 For the love of God add social playlists for people with actual lives… I don’t have time to train to play a friggin video game. Halo 3 has the best playlists and they should all be in Halo 5.
I have nothing against MLG or E-sports, but if it’s something I’ve noticed, 343 or whoever is pushing PRO game play more and more. Which i totally like SOME times when I am also in a group, but when am alone i hate it.

I am horrible at HALO 5 multiplayer but I was placed in GOLD 1.
Really, 343??

Some kid told me to “git gud” like him. He then stated he played HALO 5 multiplayer for 12 hrs straight.
I told him to get a job that didn’t involve asking people if they wanted to supersize their orders.

Apparently, you’ve played four hours. I’ve played six, of which I estimate about one and a bit is AFK as I leave my game running for pretty much every other activity I do in my house, so eating,bathing etc I’ve done with the game running.
I’ve played six hours of this game, you’ve played four, yet my highest CSR (and my only one, at the moment) is diamond one, you’re unranked. Chances are if we came against each other, I’d completely trash you because you don’t seem to be good at the game (which is where your criticism sort of stands fair, you don’t have much time to play and I grew up on shooters so it makes sense there will be a gap between us) And I still haven’t played half the maps in this game. BUT once you get ranked, assuming I am right, we wont get matched together.
The thing is, you’re in your placement games and those placement matches will fluctuate; For me they went between easy and competitive (and one game where I got completely destroyed by what I am guessing was a party as they seemed to be working very well together. Either that, or they all had mics and were lucky enough to all get paired together.) for you I’m going to guess it’ll go between tough and impossible as you have stated here you aren’t very good at the game. Once your placement is done, it should be more even for you. Get ranked and see how it is then; If you find it the same then more power to you, criticise the games direction all you want, but at least let the CSR kick in first so you get matched against players more your speed, I feel that it will probably improve your experience.

Those heavy players you’re talking about can play the social playlist too. A social playlist will have no ranking, even a flawed one, so you’ll likely get rolled there also. I had this happen a lot in Halo 3, which is what complainers are calling the gold standard now. Casuals choosing a hardcore FPS in the first place is the problem. Halo 5 is faster than Halo 3. The weapons are more lethal. Whatever playlist you want, you will have to play more competitively just to stay alive.

Considering how utterly awful some “onyx” kids are, I’d say you’re probably ranked properly unlike most people.
If you played on release you could win 3/10 placements and get in onyx. It’s a joke.

Was Halo 3 not Hardcore? well then why did it have social playlists?
I agree 100%, not because I like social, but because there are too many casuals backing out when I play.
