The playlists need some serious improvement. I don’t think there’s any debate about this. I think this would satisfy most everyone:
Ranked H2A team 4v4
Ranked H2A doubles
Ranked H2A 6 player FFA
Ranked team Halo 1
Ranked team Halo 2 classic
Ranked team Halo 3
Ranked team Halo 4
Social slayer across all games (5v5)
Social objective across all games (5v5)
Social big team across all games (8v8)
Social rumble pit across all games (8)
As for SWAT and snipers… I’m not sure. They should probably be ranked but I’m not sure if you can create a competitive environment when switching between different games with different physics and aiming mechanics. Thoughts?
Oh, and this is how you get people to play objective in a playlist that has slayer and objective mixed together:
Let’s say it’s Halo 3, for example…
The three choices should be something like:
Slayer on the Pit with AR starts
Oddball on Guardian with BR starts
KOTH on Construct with BR starts
Something like this would encourage an objective gametype every now and then.
And if all three gametypes are slayer they should all be BR starts. Or all AR starts. Either way, the map and the gametype should be the deciding factor, not the starting weapon. Thoughts?
Honestly just give us more Halo 2 Anniversary playlists and more maps. Give us a dedicated Slayer Playlist, an Objective playlist, Doubles, BTB, and maybe snipers. That would keep everyone happy and solve all the bickering about game modes. I really don’t understand why there is so little multiplayer content for the anniversary remake. The rest of the games are literally just tacked on (lol halo 3 has frigging default map variants), so at least give us what we were all buying this for in the first place when it was originally announced, Halo 2 anniversary.
I do agree though, the playlists are extremely underwhelming and honestly very poorly done. I’m sure there would be much more complaining about them if the game was actually working.

Yes. I agree completely. And that’s what I’d like to play too. But, take snipers for example: we only really have… 4 maps suited for snipers? They need to add some Forge maps. I see so many awesome maps online that really should be added.

The point I was trying to get at with my original post is that given the huge amount of content here it will be nearly impossible to satisfy everyone. I’d like a Halo 2 FFA playlist, a halo CE 1v1, a halo 3 snipers, etc. But that isn’t going to happen. I feel like, just judging by the time it takes me to find a match, the majority of players are gravitating toward H2A. Only 343 knows for sure how many people are playing what.

the reason its taking so long to find a match is because the game is messed up not because there isn’t enough players, although a lot of players have quit seeing as its been almost 2 months and the game still isn’t working and promised things haven’t been delivered.
Toenail UK, I wasn’t saying everyone wanted the MCC strictly for H2A, I was talking about how when this project was originally announced it was billed as just a Halo 2 remake because it was the 10th anniversary. All of the other games and the title MCC came later. So yes, originally we were all going to be buying this for the H2A. That’s what I meant.
I’ll be honest. It seems every time objective gets voted for I am excited to finally play a bomb or flag game mode … then I realize I have the most half alive teammates ever.
Like seriously, it seems every objective match I am the only one actually playing the objective while the rest of my team camps in our base, doesn’t move, or doesn’t go offensive ever. Then the match usually ends 3-0 or 2-0 and I’ve got like a 20+ k/d because I was at the enemies base trying to steal the flag with no help, a few objective grabs, and no help at all from my team to secure the flag/plant a bomb.
If objective gets voted I would wish people actually played objective instead of afk/camper simulator 2014. So maybe that is why no one votes for objective.
At least with slayer a half responsive team I can carry and win the game. I can’t steal the flag and cap it all on my own against 8 guys when 7 of my teammates do nothing to help lol

True. Slayer and objective should be split…But with 4 different games… I mean, I remember the objective playlists always being a fraction of what slayer was. Now, divide that by four and…?
