I went looking for ranked Team Slayer but there is none. I went looking for Ranked Snipers, but there is none. I went looking for ranked Battle Royale, but there is none. I went looking for a new Halo game, but there is none. So far the multiplayer format is just the same recycled structure used in every other halo game with all the best game variants of old removed and the best new game variants also removed.
Honestly if you’re going to just recycle the same multiplayer structure used since the dawn of time you might as well also recycle the best maps too. Take the maps from Halo 2 and couple it with the game controls from this game. Add battle royale. Add the fun ranked game variants. That’s how you beat out all of the other multiplayer games.
I know there was a junior dev in the room desperately trying to get 343 to do this who was shot down by some Senior idiot. To that junior dev, take solice in the fact that you were right.
