In Ranked Slayer and SWAT there is hardly any variety. I only count a Forge map as being 1 map if it is in Ranked but there are many 343 designed maps that are just neglected in this game you rarely/never get to play on them.
There are 15 maps and Empire, Coliseum and Plaza are highly overplayed.
Tyrant
Empire
Eden
Coliseum
Molten
The Rig
Truth
Torque
Overgrowth
Plaza
Stasis
RipTide
Mercy
Fathom
1 Forge map
Swat maps you missed
russet - Echelon - Pegasus Slayer maps you missed
russet - echelon - pegasus - white cell - fissure - Ovrergrowth is no longer in slayer - I don’t remember if Orion is still in slayer There is lot of variety. You must just be having bad luck.
Some swat maps are double weighted and quick play only contains 3 maps
A lot of the maps are reskins so you could probably cut that list in half. Maybe the game is just playing mind games with you & you are seeing double when its just a variation lol.
If you don’t back out of the postgame lobby while searching again, your chances of getting the same map will diminish, but some maps in Swat might have a double weighting if it has multiple gametypes on a single map.
That means you don’t play enough slayer lol.
I don’t get Tyrant, Molten, Overgrowth, Riptide and Orion 2 on Slayer anymore. I wish they didn’t remove these from Slayer if they did! These new forge maps are not a better replacement. Why did they remove some maps? I’ve been kinda disappointed but I do like Echelon! I get Mercy and Refuge way to often. Refuge sucks! I want the other maps back!! I wish all the maps were available!
It’s still a better system than voting where you would play the same map over and over again because anyone it’s popular and if there was a team of four they automatically played whatever map they wanted or veto where if it wasn’t the pit it got vetoed.

Aren’t those all Forge maps? I wanted to see more 343 created maps within the list. I really liked overgrowth, too bad.
I play Team Slayer and SWAT all the time. Join the que and won’t leave that que for hours at a time. I will play on Plaza, Russet, truth, and Eden (combination of those 3) for 75% of the 2-3 hours I play. Once in a while I’ll see the rig, fathom, regret, coliseum, and empire. I have not played a match on Torque, Molten, Overgrowth, or Tyrant in months! So to me, they don’t include these in the playlist. It’s bad enough that they don’t include them all in the list, but those I never get to play are the best maps in my opinion!
Just include them in the rotation. I don’t care if I get a few more often than others as long as I get those others once in awhile.

Molten and Tyrant are mainly in team doubles. But I haven’t played on overgrowth in ranked for a long while. Idk why because it’s a pretty good map.
The map Seclusion must have been taken out of slayer as well, haven’t seen it in months I thought it was a good map.
Riptide, Overgrowth, Tyrant, Molten, and Orion 2 are gone from regular slayer, all of which are good maps. I see riptide in swat regularly though which is good. I like all those maps, even… dare i say… Orion 2… which everyone seems to talk about had a spawn trap? then replace the sniper with plasma caster or spartan laser. It has a cool feel to that map.
Fissure and Echelon are awesome and they could be double weighted for freshness. Russet is growing on me, it’s ok at least it’s new.
Vestige is a good map that could be added.
Then theres White Cell…
I would like to know if some maps are weighted more heavily to appear than others.
I feel like I see Plaza and Truth everyday, but it could just be random and happens to play out that way for me.

The problem with this is that (what feels like a long time ago) I would get to play molten, and tyrant in regular team Slayer, and I loved it because the maps felt small. That made the game very fast pace, which I love! I’ve always enjoyed the smaller maps. Guardian Halo 3, haven and Abandon in halo 4. (Mercy is now much larger and less appealing)
And honestly, I probably wouldn’t even hate the maps I do if I’d have a larger variety. I just over play the same 5 maps and always feel burnt out on them and never play the maps I’ve always loved. I don’t want to have to go to a new playlist in order to get on one of the best maps.
Russet is not a good map. Just played on it twice in a row on SWAT. There is no reason I should have to play this map over and over again and never play some of the best maps on Halo 5. It really does take a lot of enjoyment out of the game. ITS A SIMPLE FIX!
I second this, put all the maps in the rotation, alot of my favorites are gone!
343 is bugging. They need to put all maps back in slayer. A lot of the maps I love so much are gone and it made the game less enjoyable.
