Looking forward to Mini Slayer. Sounds like it will be a gong show and a fun addition to Action Sack.
> Mini Slayer is a brand new game type that will be added to Action Sack. This mode has only been played by 343 staff and some lucky studio visitors, and we are excited to premiere it this coming Monday. The Spartans are scaled smaller than normal, but the weapons are normal size, creating fun, hectic, and often hilarious game play. The game type will be available exclusively on the map “Rail” at launch, and the rules are as follows:
>
> · All Spartans are mini!
> · All players have the “Mobility” tactical package
> · All players spawn with Assault Rifle
> · Killcam disabled
> · Melee is disabled
Source: Halo 4 Matchmaking Update: 6.17.13
I have seen this before. When you die, your dead spartan looks like a necromorph. Good to see they disabled melee because with the tiny hitbox it is almost impossible to punch somebody.
Wow, now I’ve never heard of this gametype before, nor have I had this gametype in my local files for months. How original, not overdue, and new!
Sounds like fun, but disheartening to know that this is probably the closest we’ll get to a Classic Slayer playlist.
I mean, you’ll give us equal AR starts for an Action Sack gametype, but no actual Team Slayer playlist? Kind of annoying…

I find it funny that Mini-Slayer came to be via modders and became widespread enough that 343 took notice, tried it and enjoyed it themselves. Good to see something good coming from it. Now if we can convince them to implement 1-flag…
Needs a catchier name.
I shall call it… Mini-Chief.
What about “Toy Soldiers?”
1 step closer to infection

They’re utilising modded gametypes now?
I know they’ve done it before, but this a certainly a more obvious one.
The gametype itself has been floating around for a while, and it’s nice that rather than immediately saying “nope” and having it eradicated it they use it for something good.
This is a step in the right direction 343.
They should hold a naming contest whenever they introduce a new gametype to the Sack.
Some good possibilities above; I suggest “Flea Circus.”

The Legendary Slayer playlist is still in development, will be very similar to classic gameplay.

Doesnt take months to make a gametype like classic slayer.
If i could actually turn off sprint then my H3 gametype would be awesome. Still works great for slayer on a pit remake so i cant complain. All they need to do is make
Team Slayer
Weapon 1: AR
Weapon 2: Pistol
2x Grenades
Radar
Team Brs
Br
Ar
2x grenades
radar
Team DMRs
DMR
AR
2x Grenades
Radar
Covie Slayer
Carbine
PP
2x Plasma Grenades
Radar
Forrunner Slayer
Lightrifle
Bolt Shot
2x Pulse Grenades
Radar.
Sprint can still be enabled if you using default maps
No Ordnance drops, Weapons on map. Power ups on map
I want to see what Rooster Teeth does with this gametype… imagine the crap they could create with miniature Spartans… 
Nice, can’t wait, this will be fuuun.
Just when I was about to quit H4 MM…
I ditched the Carbine and started using the BR… and now this. Not bad 343i.

I like how they tweaked it (no meleeing) instead of just releasing it outright. Now I only hope the power weapons will be distributed properly. Tiny Slayer with rockets is really claustrophobic.
Also, this is proof that they can reduce the player model size, which will make it significantly harder to land hits. Since they’re reluctant about reducing the actual autoaim itself, I hope they take the aforementioned route instead of outright eliminating autoaim range.

I swear I’ve seen a few modded mini spartan game types before…
