Playlists Day One

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’m really hoping to get the following playlists from day one:

Social:
-Team Slayer
-Big Team Slayer
-Race
-Swat
-Team Snipers
-Team objective conquer(CTF, KOTH, Extraction, Bombs, Etc…)
-Team objective slayer(Oddball, Headhunter, Regicide, Etc…)
-Team Sports(Grifball and Ricochet)
-Rumble pit
-Multiteam
-Fiesta

Ranked:
-Team Slayer
-Team Doubles
-Team Objective(All)

Cant think of more ranked playlists right now

I prefer longer search times than to play slayer all day long like on MCC. Still I believe if people get the chance to pick whatever they want to play they will return and the population wonr drop like it did on Halo 4. I guess most people quit due to the lack of ranked playlists and due to the new implementation of loadouts and ordenance. If they commit the same mistake with Halo 5 it will go down the same path.

Gameplaywise they made the right calls, regardless of the sprint haters. Sprint is perfectly balanced now, Clamber needs a little tweak meaning you would realy have to press the button precisely on the right time and not just hold the button like it is now. I hope ground pound damages vehicles but not one shot them, Id say remove like 45% or so of its Hp on a straight accurate hit and less damage on heavy vehicles.

  • Big Team Slayer? No thank you, just keep it as Big Team Battle. I remember I hardly played any Halo 4 multiplayer until they gave up on that Big Team Slayer playlist and finally brought back Big Team Battle.

  • I like your idea of a Team Sports playlist though. Maybe have it include variants of Grifball, Ricochet, and Oddball.

  • Definitely need an Objective playlist, MCC is floundering for me because I don’t have one playlist to go to without having to play Slayer.

  • SWAT for sure, another thing that MCC is lacking

  • Some kind of Fiesta or Action Sack playlist. One that uses community map and game variants, this is always fun.

  • Don’t see a need for a Race playlist, maybe throw some race game types in with Fiesta

  • Lone Wolves, not Rumble.

  • Probably doubles instead of multi-team.

  • Obviously have a Team Slayer playlist

I think all of the playlists should be ranked. There should be a “master rank” that you accumulate through EXP earned across every playlist, but there should also be TrueSkill ranks for each specific playlist. Why not rank all of them? All the rank really does is help to match you with people at the same level as you.

EDIT: It would also be cool if they bumped up BTB to 20 players (10v10), and had a Team Skirmish playlist that was 6v6 or 7v7.

There needs to be a seperate playlist for ranked and social. To acomodate newcomers, there are always good players starting from rank 0 that can shred other rank 0s.

I guess, no one gives a -Yoink- about this issue.

I tried, bud.

People care more about sprint, spartan abilities, and smart scope than playlist variety. Pretty sad.
