That’s great.
Map variety and game type variety are essential to that playlist. I’m especially disappointed that they would remove assault. If anything they should have removed slayer. At least it has it’s own dedicated 4v4 playlist. Slayer shows up too often in team arena as it is, and this will only make it worse.
Hopefully this is only for a season and not permanent. Lack of assault would also make several of the Spartan company commendations impossible, or unnecessarily difficult.

Well, that’s because most of it was crap, their poor iteration of Assault included and Team Arena has actually been changed to the current HCS rotation. It is now the most tolerable playlist in the game as a result. That’s a clear positive for me. Obviously, it would be ideal if those maps and the Assault game type were actually competitively viable and we had a decent selection of objective modes, but that isn’t really the case.

No, they shouldn’t have removed slayer. It is in the tournament rotation. What they should have done is made better DLC maps and an iteration of Assault that’s playable at a high level. The playlist will remain this way until those things are improved, which likely will not happen until this Pro League season is finished.
