pretty much the only things i have to complain about this game so far are the playlists. i know i know the game came out a few months ago but id still like to see more playlists. halo 4 had like at the most 10 playlists? and the mcc playlist selection was pretty crappy given that there were only about 10 playlists spanning acrost 4 multiplayers. i really liked halo reaches selection of playlists and once 343i implements more gamemodes i would really hope they would bring in more playlists.
i would really love to see playlists like, objective arena, snipers, action sack, grifball, infection, invasion, squad slayer, and shield active breakout playlists being implemented as social playlists. snipers and objective could also be ranked. another thing id love added would be a longer warzone. i honestly rarely ever reach req level 8 and if i do its right before the game ends. something that would be really cool is a warzone that has individual req levels and it continously runs for about 4 hours or so. the longer you play in that warzone without quiting the higher req level you will be and you will actually be able to use more of your req 8-9 unlocks. what do you guys think?

> Infection please, would love it.
the more people ask for infection, the less i want it. It’s annoying, they’ll add it eventually. I want griffball more than infection. 343 should make a social playlist with griffball, infection, and games like those.
the lack of playlists is definitely unacceptable. KOTH is one i didn’t hear mentioned, along with Bomb and oddball varieties like Ricochet. halo 5 needs all the variety it can get…
There social playlists (or lack there of) are laughable. They had one “holiday” playlist which was basically team slayer or team snipers and then they have BTB. At the very least we should have one 4 v 4 and one free for all playlist with all game modes including all the ones that have been staples of the series and are completely missing from Halo 5. If they feel game modes like Odd Ball and Assault don’t work for Arena (for whatever reason) that’s fine but at least give us a social playlist with some variety. Halo 5 is extremely lacking in variety.

Even stuff like Headhunter or Ricochet that aren’t classics but still a ton of fun.
Assault (all variants), one flag, oddball, king of the hill, clan matches, territories, neutral flag, multi team, stockpile, extraction, invasion, doubles, and all of the social gametypes are needed.

I think with time they’ll add more playlists, though how long that may take I’m not sure.
Their entire ideology on minimal playlists is flawed. They think minimum playlists makes the population stronger, as everything is simplified with quicker games since we are all “funneled” into these playlists.
however, it has the exact opposite effect. People are bored as hell and switch games.
343 just really drops the ball on very basic stuff over and over. I’ve grinded every Halo, and I’m just already so damn bored on this one.
More playlists unfortunately splits the player pool… In the general playlists we have, matches are found quickly and efficiently. However, if they added an absurd number of playlists, it would take much longer to find a match in some instances.
I like 343i they done some good things and h5 is great. but yeh gametypes and playlists i just dont understand. Some of the best things about bungie was the amount of cool fresh playlists they added over time to keep things fresh. Doesnt matter how good warzone or team slayer is , somtimes you just wanna play team fiesta or rocket race ect.
Its like they have this good mp game and hold it back? its not hard to add playlists, so maybe they are worried about splitting up the community and there are not enough concurrent people online to fill up the playlists? cant think of any other reason other than being lazy lol. which is not productive for a company who need halo to do well.
Sersiouly just add infection, rocket race and a community forge maps playlist to get people into forge more and your get way more people playing the game. I mean whats the point of introducing an amazing forge if you dont have playlists and game modes to support it? its stupid.

True more playlists split the pop, however due to h5 lacking in playlists they’re losing pop rather than splitting it.

I’m guessing you never played a COD game which has like 20 playlist and quadruple the halo population. The numbers say you are wrong. The issue is 343i and MS are so vain they don’t wanna show a number or percentage of the population that’s in each playlist which would all but kill the idea of “not finding a game”
