So in Halo 5 there are a toooooon of Playlists in Halo 5, too many honestly, and its to the point now where with so many playlists it spreads the population out and can make search times a bit longer, etc. etc. So I was just kinda brainstorming possible setups for the playlists that I think could benefit and a lot of these I feel like 343 should consider
Social
- Slayer (ALL Slayer)
- Team OBJ (CTF, Strongholds, Oddball, etc.)
- BTB
- Swat
- Breakout
- Action Sack (Super Fiesta, Other Mini Games, and what not)
- Infection
- Grifball
Ranked Arena
- HCS
- FFA
- Doubles
- Snipers
- Slayer (maybe)
All of this is pretty much just a late night random thought session of mine, I feel like Swat and Breakout shouldn’t be a ranked playlist, Once this season started we are over flowing with ranked playlists, and also I feel like Super Fiesta is a playlist that belongs in Action Sack, maybe even breakout honestly. Of course the more I think about it the more this would probably work with a Veto System like Halo 3. I guess this is something to maybe hope for in Halo 6? Hopefully…Let me know some of you guys’ opinions.
I think that SWAT and Breakout should stay in the ranked Playlists. Breakout is designed to be a ranked Playlist and just wouldn’t make sense in social, I know nobody who would play it then. And SWAT is fine where it is right now, I’m always having fun rankin in SWAT, and its the only playlist besides Slayer that i ever rank in.
For Super Fiesta, I really like the mode and I like Action Sack and Super Fiesta would fit into that Playlist, but I don’t want to play 50 matches of Mantis Breakout to get 1 match of Super Fiesta.
I would also leave Team Arena in the ranked Playlists, since it’s the only Playlist besides HCS.
The current Playlists are fine to me. You can play almost every Gamemode in ranked and social. It would be nice to have a social SWAT playlist, but keep SWAT ranked.

See thats kinda why I said at the end some of this would work better with a Veto system, like with Super Fiesta and Action Sack, thats how Reach was, it had a mix and match of various modes and one of the big attractions being Fiesta and to me Breakout lost that edge to me, it just doesn’t work with the current setup and its more of a social mode now and I feel like it would be better off Social and I’ve always known Swat to be a social and I feel like it fits there best. Team Arena was the main like HCS Gamemode, so remove Team Arena all together because we have HCS Now, the only difference being AR and Radar, it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense since because a majority of the population moved over to HCS

HCS has different starting weapons like you said, but also the weapons that are laying on the maps are different. For example, a Shotgun that is laying on a map could be replaced by a SMG in HCS, its a completly different gameplay. Also you would have to memorize two Map layouts, one for HCS and one for normal Slayer.
I more or less can agree with that. But aside from just the competitive snipers playlist, put an all inclusive social snipers playlist. It would have regular snipers (sniper rifle only), Magnum snipers, Covinate Snipers, Forerunner Snipers, FFA snipers, shortly snipers, and get this Fiesta shortly snipers. You would spawn with random sniper and shotgun req variants in game! All those rapped up as rotations in the social snipers playlist.
