A lot of people have said H4 added too many COD features and its true. One thing 343 should learn from COD is ADD BUT NEVER REMOVE. Could you imagine the fan backlash if TDM was replaced with Kill Confirmed? Thats how I feel about Infinity Slayer replacing Team Slayer.
I’m not bashing 343 but this has been on my mind for a while. Maybe they would consider this since they added TeamThrowdown,Team Snipers and Rumble Pit.
Would you like to see a Team Slayer playlist be added to Halo 4? Would this improve your H4 experience?
Features:
Small-med Forge maps only with map pick ups.
TeamBRs
TeamDMRs
TeamCarbine
TeamLR
TeamClassic(AR/Mag)
Agreed. Why was VIP and Assault and Race taken away? Of course, not all gametypes can have the same popularity as others, but essentially taking away so much was a terrible move.

Man! Rocket Hogs was the best!!!
On topic, I’m all up for this.
Legendary Slayer
-Classic Slayer (Halo 1-3)
-Classic BTS
-Retro Slayer (Halo Reach)
-Classic Rumble
But we need a classic objective playlist too.

I’d love to see a classic playlist! It would be one of the most played for sure!
Also, just want to point out that if they added things but never removed them, we would still have Armor Lock in the game. Do you really want that back?
Go play Team Throwdown, that’s what I do. Once you learn the mind games of Halo as oppose to just staring at your radar, the game becomes so much better.
To go along with the post though, yes there should definately be Team Slayer. However, seeing how there’s throwdown, I really wouldn’t care at all if they added Team Slayer.
I want I slayer variant that uses loadouts but has no PODs.
halo and cod both borrow ideas from eachother to mutually improve both games! i love the cod features in halo 4 like jip keeping teams fair and of course loadouts, allowing you to highly customize and maximize the effectiveness of your playstyle! im praying for weapon attachments in halo 5 or maybe even halo 4 in an update, that would be awwwwwsome!

No, but AL was hated. Team Slayer was respected. Why it was removed is a mystery.
343 has done a decent job of adding playlists in my opinion. The ones they added have been based on traditional Halo. Team Slayer is as tradition as Halo gets. They should learn from this. Keep Team Slayer(no loadouts, no abilities) in every Halo AND have a playlist based on new features.
Ha are you kidding me? MW3 removed the dolphin dive because they were afraid old MW2 fans wouldn’t like it. 343 has the stones to change core gameplay, respect 'em.

What a nightmare that’d be.

I do. I play CTF and Throwdown exclusively now. Team Throwdown is a mix of highly competitive gametypes. Its is great, but lets be honest, there are TONS of quitters. Its for the hardcore who know what they are doing. A new player will be blown away by Throwdown. Despite what 343 thinks classic Team Slayer is where a new player can actually learn how to get better. That way they can find out if they want to be competitive, casual, or a little of both.
Top of the Playlist should look like this:
Team Slayer
Infinity Slayer
Team Throwdown
This, everything about this.
OP, this has been my exact that pretty much forever. I might not be a huge CoD fan, but they know how to cater to their fanbase properly.
Those who don’t like Kill Streaks have a playlist, those who like competitive gameplay have a playlist and most of all those who want classic gameplay have a playlist.
Personally, I’ve always thought if there was anything 343i should have taken from Call of Duty, it was how they cater to their fans.

The thing about throwdown is that it’s too competitive for most players. It’s mean to be played with a team, and it’s very punishing.
I don’t disagree with you, hell I love throwdown, but it can’t replace a Team Slayer playlist.
> Ha are you kidding me? MW3 removed the dolphin dive because they were afraid old MW2 fans wouldn’t like it. 343 has the stones to change core gameplay, respect 'em.
Dolphin dive? MW3? Are you kidding me? Removing dolphin dive is no where near as game changing as removing ENTIRE PLAYLISTS.
All I’m saying is Team Slayer is something Halo fans loved. COD fans dont want Kill Confirmed, a Deathmatch variant, to replace Team Deathmatch.
Why should Infinity Slayer, a Slayer variant, replace Team Slayer? For all I care they can keep Infinity Slayer in Halo 5 just bring back TS so balance can return to Halo.

I like that idea too.

Not nessicarily.
If I could, I would add attachments. BUT they would be purely cosmetic things.
A flashlight on your AR
A silencer on your Magnum
Exactly this. Along the same lines we should regular big team, CTF, and multi-team slayers, with maybe a few infinity voting options, but infinity should not be the default for every playlist. Keep infinity more or less in infinity slayer.
