I realized there’s no option for this in the gametype or engine settings like in previous Halos. Basically, this setting allowed “rotating” players in and out of gameplay during a match.
You could have a FFA game set to 2 max Active Players with 8 people and itd play out as 1v1’s with the other 6 players spectating. Once a player died, someone else would spawn in a few seconds later based on respawn time settings.
For teams this was Active Players per team. You could do 4v4s with 8 players per team with 4 spectating on each side and would rotate a player in on a team if they had a player die.
i enjoyed the concepts of the 1v1s the most as the matches turned into ladder matches of 1v1’s that everyone could not only watch and never interfere with, but would cycle in and play themselves.
Can we please get this option back???
