ODST slayer is truly one of the best ever

I played a few matches the first week it was live and forgot how great it was. Everything feels so right. The movement, starting weapons, pickups, abilities, etc. It feels like movement skill and map knowledge really matter rather than how many Spartan abilities you can string together. Going to miss this when it leaves the rotation and I really hope we get something like it in Infinite!

I really like ODST Slayer too. It stayed in rotation for quite a while last time it was here, like double the length of time rotational playlists are usually switched in and out… so hoping its the same again lol. Only conplaint is if you run into 2 or 3 of the enemy team you will get melted instantly lmao. Alot of fun for sure though, maybe nerf sniper to 2 shot though, its literally a nornfang with no shields… the abundance of plasma weapons too doesnt really make sense being on the maps as they dont do much damage to unshielded spartans

Both things you mentioned would be good tweaks, agreed. I also noticed you can’t get a perfect kill unless you 5-shot someone, which is not easy to do considering they go down sooner than that haha.

Yea i noticed you can get perfects with 5 shots too… which isnt really a perfect at all since 3 shots to the head kills. Breakout 1.0 awards perfects for the 3 shot headshots, 343 should make ODST perfect kill medal conditions the same as Breakout… would make more sense at least lol. Wouldnt mind some more H3 ODST inspired forgemaps, i’d love to see a map like Lost Platoon added into the rotation :slight_smile:

Lost Platoon would be perfect for an ODST Slayer BTB variant! I feel it might be too big for 4v4.

+1… agree.

Hate to see it go. Was kind of a cool derivative of SWAT.

I enjoy it,but my rural internet doesn’t make it playable for me.

Lag plus quick time to kill equals a bad time.

You’re running a 1.6 K/D with bad internet lol? I’d think rough internet is bad for Halo in general :sunglasses:

That number includes firefight. I’m 1.08 in slayer gametypes. Thoroughly average.

Feels too much like CoD to me. I play it for the 2x XP, but I prefer Arena Slayer.

I played it twice but my teammates didn’t like it lol

Everything is 2x XP right now, regardless of stars

Loved ODST slayer. Seriously one of the reasons why I took a break from warzone. They should definitely make it permanent or even a ranked playlist imo.

Yeah totally agreed. ODST Slayer would fit well within Ranked.

I think it’s like SWAT with pistol & SMG starts. I can see any1 not a fan of SWAT disliking it.

I did scratch my head seeing ppl run over the carbine. I was doing serious work with it.

I only got to experience about 10 days of it. Fun while it lasted. I did see some custom maps titled ODST so assuming they’re making custom games with those weapons settings.

In that note… Precinct was a bad A forge map. Really fug it for this mode.
