I literally can’t believe there isn’t a slayer FFA rumble pit style playlist! FFA is pretty much the only thing I play online. Regicide will have to do for now, but I’m just so surprised that there isn’t a normal FFA playlist. I’m sure they will bring one in soon enough. I haven’t really been bothered by most of the stuff that peeps are upset about on here (ranks, vehicles etc.) but this makes me sad I was really looking forward to FFA on tuesday.
Regicide was fun when i played it, but it gives an advantage to the players who aren’t the king, say the king needs 1 kill to win, and another player needs 3, killing the king can grant that player victory. It’s a fun gametype, but it isn’t a replacement for normal FFA slayer.
I’m not going to be an idiot like some people and say “Not buying it anymore” or “preorder cancelled” because i love halo, and i still can’t wait to play it, im just disappointed is all.
> Holy crap, relax. It won’t be available at launch but I bet you more and more gametypes will be added over time.
As I said in the OP, I’m sure it will be added, I just can’t believe it isn’t in now. I have never been a fan of team based playlists unless i’m playing with friends, so rumble pit and Lone Wolves were always my go to lists.

343i is probably putting all of its new gametypes out there first to see how they fare and see how much the population likes them. I’m sure they’ll add the old favorites back afterwards. If they, for example, put FFA Slayer in as a gametype, everyone would play that instead of Regicide, and 343 wouldn’t know whether or not Regicide was any good.

This makes me feel a bit better, I hope it’s the case.
343 must have realized that the maps were too big for FFA, and that ONLY Regicide worked because it gave people a target to go for and promoted map movement, making FFA kind of work on bigger maps.
I think it was on purpose.
I’m sure they’ll add it in when players Forge good small-scaled maps themselves and these get added to Matchmaking / War Games for FFA.

while this, in theory, is good, in reality it can kill a game. if people hate the new CTF and the new FFA, they’ll leave for blops2 in a week and never come back. so many of my friends left reach to never return because they hated bloom and sprint. when i told them that the mlg playlist released with no bloom, sprint, or AA’s, no one even knew. it was too late. 343 knows people would like the old playlists better, so they’re forcing us to try the new game modes. the problem is, the people will be gone when the good modes show up. it happened in reach and it will happen again. history repeats itself.

Will you stop just sitting around loving everything 343i does and being upset when someone posts something against it?
In previous Halo games, skirmish was the lowest played playlist; now there are specific playlists for Oddball, CTF and KOTH. That to me is a joke when they left out some of the fan favorites including doubles and rumble pit.
There was some great news for me in that bulletin, but the playlists are really a slap in the face.
It was kind of shock when I read that playlist-list and there wans’t FFA slayer playlist at all. That is one of my favorite gametypes and it isn’t in matchamking at all, at least for now. It also was one of the best gametypes for having guests since their bad skills wouldn’t have impact on team’s score.

I completely agree, I liked the fact that if i won, i won because i played well. If i lost, i only had myself to blame…
I think they want to get peoples impressions on regicide before adding in a standard slayer, regicide is essentially slayer but you get more points for killing the player with the most kills. Its still slayer, they just think it might be more interesting then the standard slayer experiance.
I was really looking forward to FFA on tuesday.
