Mine goes
Arena: Solid settings, decent choice of maps, and the only ranked playlist in the game. Offers more competition than almost all the other playlists, and its a 4v4, my personal favorite party size. The removal of jet packs really increased the likeability, and made it jump to my #1. That being said, the removal of bloom entirely would be the best possible addition, imo, as well as putting the original select back in.
Doubles: This is one of the few playlists I legitimately have fun in, though it really depends on who I play with. Z to the 33 and I RuN this, though we havent played in some time now. Settings are good, though jet pack really ruins it sometimes. Great map selection, and holding on kids is super fun in a 2v2, much more so than 4v4 for some reason.
MLG: Best settings in the game hands down. The only problem I have is the excessive amount of countdown that gets voted. I really do not like that map, and being that for some reason everyone else seems to enjoy it, it leads to many games I just dont want to play. Competition is very inconsistent, which can be annoying, and randoms matching full teams can be frustrating, for both sides.
super slayer/team objective: Both of these are fun, though they get old very fast. Not going to bother with much typing on this one, because I dont find them nearly as relevant.
The rest: All ranging from meh to very bad. Not going to bother with the rest, as I dont even play them enough to care at this point.
Doubles is unbearable with jetpack now that more and more people seem to use it. It’s so broken it’s not even funny.
yeah I totally agree. Even though I was playing with one of the worst kids I have played with in reach the other day, we lost 2 games to kids who could barely hold their controller straight, just because they would fly up and double team him the whole game.
It makes holding set ups impossible, and ruins any sort of map control in seconds… Seriously one of the worst game elements in reach, almost as bad, possibly even worse than armor lock.
Jetpack, bloom, and sprint ruined this game for me. The slow movement really doesn’t help either.
No individual skill gap = not a fun game.
OT: Probably Arena just because I match decent people occasionally.
BTB, the addition of Heavies has revitalized my interest in the playlist and has taken most of my time spent on Reach since its inception.

Are you being serious?
Team Doubles is a fun playlist. I play it with one of my XBL pals and we have a good time. We don’t take it too seriously though which isn’t a bad thing. I also like Anniversary Slayer, Team Slayer, Team Swat and Action Sack sometimes. Acton Sack could use a major update though.
My favourite are Anniversary FFA and Multi Team.
I used to love Squad Slayer until it was removed.
Anniversary BTB is pretty solid but regular BTB is quite frustrating, what ever happened to getting Neutral Assault/CTF on symmetrical maps?
Everything other than MLG is intolerable, except for a few games of Arena here or there.
Definitely Team Swat before Uncaged and Pinnacle were removed… Now probably BTB with my buds.
