i’d like to see a NON LAUGHABLE implementation of team slayer gametypes that DO NOT FEATURE ARMOR LOCK OR JET PACK, the 2 most GIMMICKY THINGS in the entire halo game.
team slayer is literally 100% unplayable right now because of that IMO. when a friend wants to play team slayer they ask ‘anyone wanna play team jet packs’ because thats literally what the entire playlist boils down to. bunch of randoms flying around all willy nilly in almost every single game. i dunno why they didnt just give jet pack a forward thruster as well, to let people never touch the map instead of having to touch the map every 4 minutes.

Lol nice description. I see what you are saying though. There’s team classic, but then again, that’s team classic. I feel we should at least get a whole new playlist that has team objective and team slayer with no armor abilities. Sprint is a maybe though.
YES! more elite playlists and more invasion maps. I think the invasion playlist is crap is because they have no custom made maps and no other DLC maps.

You can’t find an Invasion forge map that works with 4-player split screen and doesn’t lag. The playlist would have to drop the number of local players. This is why Team Slayer can only have 2 local players.
The netcode that FF VS has to be built off. There’s input lag like that because the game has to sync the four xboxes as well as syncing them with the twenty odd AI running around.
FF VS could be brought back, but it’ll take another game release before we see improvements in the FF netcode.
OT:
-Rocket Race playlist. Removal of RHR from MT.
-Reintroduction of the Arena playlist hopper. Arena, SWAT, Snipers, Objective and a few others placed into the Arena hopper.
Im pretty sure it is just random, and as for the DLC maps if everybody in the game has them then one of them will come up but if nobody has one than they wont come up. But I really get annoyed playing on forge world map remakes over and over again.
Hey, quick idea I had; Why not introduce a highly tactical, one life per round playlist? Maybe just as a Double Jackpot Weekend or whatever they are called now, to test the waters? It could be a playlist in itself, with all Gametypes (CTF, Assault, etc.), or just a Slayer Gametype in another playlist. I always felt Halo would be a great game to feature Elimination but it never really did. What do you guys think?
I agree OP, I absolutely love Reach’s multiplayer but it is getting a little stale. A playlist update with double credit weekends would bring much needed energy to the online.
Just wondering what would be the chances of lets say a Fiesta playlist being added to Halo Reach? There was nothing better then playing Fiesta on Guardian on Halo 3.
We currently have way to many playlists at the moment and most are full of dull game modes, when the title update comes out I imagine theirs going to be a fair amount more. I know each playlist caters for a certain type of player and how they want to play, but their is way to many. When the title update is about to hit I think it be wise to re-think what we currently have and how they can be combined or even removed to make it more freindly to find games and keep it interesting enough so you dont have to jump in and out of one after every match.
short example: remove classic, give team slayer some objective match’s and lose objective as it’s failing big time and stick invasion modes is big team and lose invasion completeley.
I like that idea. People who want an exclusively Slayer experience could go to Arena, while Team Slayer (Though more like Team Competitive in this case) would contain the gametypes of Team Objective. Squad Slayer could be removed, and its unique ability to match parties with parties could be a big part of the new Big Team and Team Competitive…
