I don’t know if it’s been asked before but Mine’s got to be the HCS one, for some reason I’m truly bad in that playlist, and the radar settings doesn’t help me either. I feel like I’m more exposed, I don’t know. Which one is yours?
I don’t even know what my least favorite playlist is, because there’s so many that I’ve never tried because I’m not interested in them. If I had to take a guess, it would probably be Swat. I don’t like the idea of running around small maps and getting headshotted instantly. But HCS doesn’t sound like any fun to me, either

I don’t like swat that much, either. It’s kind of frustrating.
I tend to perform “poorly” in the HCS playlist. My placements are much lower compared to something like Team Arena or Breakout.

Now I know why I can’t get you to play that one with me. 
I would say Swat then Grifball and then Infection. Those have almost no appeal for me. I used to rank in Swat, but I stopped a couple of seasons ago.

That’s not all about your performance. The average rank of the players is higher, and when the playlist was established they compensated for that. If you look at stats for pretty much any player their rank in HCS is lower than the rest of their ranks.

It’s not just you at once point the ranks were inflated and they were never fixed for what reasons idk but I guess I can think of a few.
But for hcs since it was new and I think the placement is also different for this one (can’t confirm) but most high rankings drop tiers and are ranked lower on hcs. Most Onyx players are ranked plat or diamond for example. my entire time I’ve pkayed hcs I’ve seen maybe 5 diamonds in hcs
In Halo 5 it’d be anything Warzone (minus firefight) It doesn’t play or feel like Halo at all. Then it’d be Infection and SWAT.

I know, In the other playlist I’m Diamond and silver, but in the HCS I’m gold or whatever it’s called.
I’m not a huge fan of the new Breakout playlist.
I have always disliked Grifball- in every Halo game it’s been in. I SUCK at using CQB weapons- shotguns, scattershots, swords and hammers. So you can imagine why I dislike Grifball.
Weirdly enough, I enjoy Castle Wars. It’s different somehow- I think it has a wider skill base playing it so there are others that suck as much as I do. Grifball seems to be populated almost exclusively with people that are better at CQB than me.

I’d really like to see triple team slayer back. It was a hell of a fun. Hope to see it back, soon.
Doubles, you run into mean team mates a lot more often than you do any other mode, HCS is a close second for that same reason.
I strongly dislike Ranked Slayer, Warzone and Fiesta.
Ranked slayer is just a magnum fest. Unless it’s a power weapon, everyone uses the Magnum.
Warzone is awful. You know why it’s awful. I know why it’s awful.
Fiesta is just pointless. Didn’t get a rocket launcher? Be prepared to die. Totally useless game mode that everyone loves for some reason.

I know it seems that way, but actually you’ve just been asking me at bad times. I think last time you invited me to play ranked, I was just about to turn off my Xbox and leave for an appointment. I’m still willing to try HCS and stuff with you (but seriously don’t expect me to do well at all)

I actually really enjoy Grifball and Infection. If you’re ever willing to try those again, I’d be happy to play them with you too. But I guess I can understand why you don’t like them

I kinda know what you mean when it comes to fiesta, I got so sick of having to use rockets, so I stopped for some time and only used weapons that required skills, it was a lot more fun that way, the only catch is the higher chance of losing because you can’t team carry as good.
Probably Grifball. I think the inconsistency of getting hammer kills or getting killed by it especially when a player was hosting the game has always annoyed me. After that, it would be Swat and maybe Breakout.
Least favorite is Infection. There are so many great game modes in Halo and I can handle it in small doses, but for me, I’d rather play basically anything else. I got burned out on Infection back in Halo 2 when it was just a custom game.
Grifball
Any of the Ranked modes and, honestly, Action Sack. The problem with AC is that I might end up having to play a team game, with communication…and that NEVER happens with randoms.
Not being able to choose the game type doesnt help either.

Finally found someone that hates fiesta like I do, I only play it when friends of mine want to, same with warzone, warzone is absolute -Yoinking!- cancer and ranked slayer is practically every ranked mode honestly, a magnum sweat fest. This even moves onto all ffa custom games.
