Playlists are changing starting May 1

Games Other Halo
1

So as the title says, some pretty big changes are coming to halo 5 playlists. Full story here

For those too lazy to read it lol, here is the recap of what things will look like PLAYLIST wise come May 1 (other information in there to do with the trueskill2 system)

Social Playlists

  • Quick Play - Super Fiesta - Rotational Slot 1: Shotty Snipers - Rotational Slot 2: Triple Team - Infection - Big Team BattleRanked Playlists

  • Slayer - Team Arena - Doubles - SWAT - Elimination - Free-For-All - HCSNote the two rotational playlists now. First up is Shotty Snipers and Triple Team! (It’s not multi team, which l like better, 4 teams of 2, but better then nothing!) Elimination is composed of Breakout v1 and 2 and Extermination!!!

Personally, I’m glad to see Extermination in Ranked. I’m not big on either version of Breakout to be honest, but glad Extermination is getting more play as I feel (and i know many others) think it’s what breakout should of been from day one.

Overall, I like these changes except for maybe mixing normal FFA and HCS FFA. I could see that causing some issues with a lot of non HCS FFA players. I’ve said this before, if HCS FFA is going to be a thing now, it needs it’s own playlist I think for those players to practice.

Glad to see 343I taking feedback from us though :+1: So what does everything think of the changes?

Nothing new as usual. At least we get triple team to break up the 4v4 monotony for a week or two before it disappears

I heard Castle Wars will be back at some point.
Is that correct?

I guess now I need to figure out what playlist to play to get my rank for the seasonal REQ pack.

I’m pretty disappointed that HCS FFA - HCS Mercy wasn’t thrown on there to make it at least three instead of two HCS maps floating around

Also at the fact that they threw Snipers out!
What gives?

7

It wasn’t popular.

8

Welcome back normal FFA - after watching some matches on youtube with Vetoed and Mint Blitz I have not played a single match of HCS FFA

Wow I actually liked HCS FFA disappointed it’s going back to the old way.

Super sad there is no mention of a BtB Refresh. I’d love to see either A) It’s not happening, you can stop asking or B)We’re targeting X quarter for a release
