KOTH and Oddball have been classic halo staples since day one. Not including them was a mistake by 343. Infection is not something that every halo fan wants. KOTH is something every halo fan expects. I see all these calls for infection and i think that objective game types are more important to improve variety at this moment. However i think that ideally 343 would include all of these asap. I do believe KOTH and Oddball, even bomb varieties, should take precedence over infection. what does everyone else think?
What you’re doing is wrong. Don’t ask for 1 or 2 gametypes to be added. Not that you’re quite doing that, but a little bit. 
Bring out an update that contains ALL the gamemodes in my opinion.
Problem solved and everyone is happy.
Rather the less corny games being added (OB/KOTH) over infection any day.
Then again 343 specialises in removing content and copy/pasting so… Then even removed their own junk like regicide. Seriously?
Multiplayer is so boring because I feel like all I play is CTF and Slayer…
Absolutely. Koth and oddball are a priority right now as the ‘normal’ gametypes desperately need shaking up.
I don’t know if asking for all 3 (Koth Oddball and infection) from 1 update is a bit much. If it’s not, then hey, lets have all 3.
accidental double post
They really need Oddball & Crazy King in a Mult-Team playlist then some sort of Neutral Flag & Assault in BTB.
Been dying to play oddball, it was awesome in Halo 4 when they allowed you to throw the ball. Hopefully they’ll add it soon!
KOTH, Oddball, and Infection (along with other gametypes they neglected to add) should ALL be added. Infection is the backbone for the majority of classic custom games, after all.
Infection has more possibilities than either of those modes, so if they bring them in a certain order like they seem to be implying, I’d like infection first.
Also, KOTH would be terrible in H5. I enjoyed it in multi team in previous Halos, but I am 100% sure it would play just awful in Halo 5.
Hell, now that I think about it, Halo 5 may ruin every game mode for me.
You don’t decide what every Halo fan wants. I agree with oddball but I don’t think I’ve ever played more than a few KOTH games, unless they were modified and used for specific forge maps that I didn’t know were using it.
I guarantee that more Halo fans want Infection than they want KOTH or even oddball. Infection was great because it didn’t just rely on the generic one team vs one team that got boring after awhile. Why do you think zombies was started back in Halo 2? It wasn’t a gametype, the userbase wanted more fun games so they just gave swords/shotties as starting weapons and people changed to green when they got infected. Hardly remember any Oddball/KOTH games being played, especially in Halo 2.

Now that you mention it, you’ve got a pretty valid point there.
I understand oddball, but, I think Strongholds is the successor to KOTH.
Infection is important for making unique custom games.
The ability to force uneven teams and have different teams with different traits is why infections my number one sought after gametype.
If KOTH is added into H5 then the splaser mechanics will have to be changed so it does more damage per hit otherwise unless you have really steady aim you wont be getting much time as being the king.
Personally I never cared for koth or oddball. But now that they are gone… I guess I do miss them. Infection on the other hand, I NEED infection. I guarantee that they will bring back all the old game types, I truly believe they are reading and listening to us. Infection is definitely crucial to custom games, but so are the rest of them. I want all of them back. I do remember king of the hog, and that was a sick game type.
So hey whatever happened to Stockpile and Headhunter and Juggernaut? Those were solid gametypes.
Infection is the necessity for custom games. It is by far the most needed. But I would love oddball, and maybe KOTH replacing strongholds.

Strongholds is more the successor to Territories than KOTH.
Territories is where it’s at 
yeah I miss juggernaut! I totally forgot about that. Definitely should bring that back. I actually hated head hunter, never was my thing.
“Oddball > Infection” I can agree with, but “KOTH > Infection” no just no.
