There is really no point to separate these game styles into separate game types. You can simply make it where both Objectives and Kills will score points, and then make the game a race to points. In my opinion slayer & objective naturally go together and I have never understood why they are pulled apart.
The concept of slayer & objective joined as one cohesive game type is not a new game play mechanic. It’s been done in other games such as Counter Strike, and in “analog games” such as paint ball. Additionally it’s also how real war operates, where the attrition of life over an objective changes the outcome of the battle.
Thoughts?
I very much doubt that will happen. Slayer is the core of Halo multiplayer; to mix it in with objective by default wouldn’t be a very wise move.
I totally agree, Slayer is the backbone game type. But Slayer did not emerge as the favored game type until Halo 2. Most H:CE Lans I played and almost every Halo PC game was objective based.
I am not calling for a total merger in every game. Rather, I simply see no reason why a slayer-objective game can’t be possible within the voting booth pre-game.
I think it would be a nice change of pace for Objective games, and perhaps it will make objective game types more relevant and enjoyable.
There is plenty of point. Slayer is a classic game type and maybe some people just want to run around killing each other instead of going for flags, odd balls, or hills.
Wasn’t there a CTF Slayer gametype that was like this in the Flagstravaganza playlist that was up a while back?
I whole heartedly agree there should be some playlists where Slayer/Objective are combined. This would be especially helpful in Big Team Battle… So. Many. Ties.
But, definitely not in all playlists or incorporated into many playlists.
It would be nice as either a gametype choice to vote for, or its own separate playlist for 4v4, 6v6, or 8v8.
I loved Flag Slayer or whatever it was called in the Flagstravaganza playlist awhile back. Played very well!

Agree with you ,just like flag slayer in TO.
As its own gametype sure but normal slayer should remain the same.
