Playlist Variety Needed!

Games Other Halo
1

I apologize if a thread on this topic exists already, but there is one glaring issue with Halo 5 right now to me. During the week there are six playlist: 1. Arena which plays 50/50 objective and slayer matches in my experience. 2. Slayer which is all slayer obviously. 3. BTB which is 50/50 objective and slayer again. 4. Breakout which is slayer with one life and a small objective. 5. FFA, again mostly slayer. 6. SWAT, slayer with no shields. Then throw in the occasional slayer with rockets and slayer with snipes. See the trend? Unless you specifically go to Warzone you cannot get away from slayer. 343, please give the player more variety, because while I (and others) are having fun right now, there have been several nights where I have cut my playtime short because I was just not feeling like another slayer game.

Please put in objective specific playlists like KOTH or CTF or any number of other gametypes, and not on a weekend “let’s vote on it” basis.

I agree 100%.
I’ve had the strong opinion, through almost every single Halo ‘X’ game out there, that the Playlists that are specifically for “Arena” and “Big Team Battle” should be weighted HEAVILY towards the objective gametypes (such as CTF or Stronghold). Slayer in that particular playlist should be a RARE game, as I know a large amount of people to play that playlist to get Away from Slayer games.

If players wanted to be playing Slayer matches all the time, they would join the "Slayer’ playlist … it’s kinda why there is one dedicated to it 24/7.

I’ve played several nights in a row on Big Team Battle specifically looking for CTF games (8v8 CTF with vehicles is really fun imo) and have gotten 45-50 games in a row of just ‘Big Team Slayer’. It gets old really quickly just playing a bigger version of the slayer playlist on a slightly larger map.
