Playlists are in MCC as a way to get players to play a set of predefined missions to have a unique way of playing campaigns. I think its clever and makes it quick to play fun missions, and honestly if worked on, the way they work would be fun. The 2 things I think it needs, if in Infinite, is a way of creating and uploading custom playlists and especially not tying them to achievements. If a custom playlist is made players can get creative and do challenges for other players and may even be able to reintroduce custom challenges (reach custom challenges) tied to playlists. The achievement thing would be ideal when LASOing, there were moments were I wanted to LASO missions out of order to save easier ones for last, playing with friends and not rely on starting it correctly (Halo 2 Laso) and even then not worry about losing progress with a bug.
I would play the campaign playlists waaaaay more often if you could choose the difficulty. Having to play on normal is just boring tbh.
My other biggest gripe with the current playlist setup is it’s really only entertaining for people when going for fastest finish. What about least deaths? Highest overkill-chain (I hope you know what I mean)? Most damage? Can we get a little variety in there rather than just highest and fastest score?
I think playlists worked in MCC due to the sheer variety & quantity of missions available within the 6 games inside the collection.
Considering Halo Infinite is ONE game I’m not sure there would be many playlists you could actually make out of the game.
Could do traditional difficulty playlists, although not much really separates that from just playing normally.
A LASO playlist for sure but other than that it’s hard to really create a definitive playlist of “tank only” or something with missions in Infinite that allow players to choose what vehicles and weapons they bring to battle. There’s more freedom of choice than linear level design, kind of counteracts the idea of having missions set with specific parameters like old games

Would be a cool addition actually. You could have game modes similar to reach firefight, play through the campaign mission in co op just using hammers for example.
LWHBYD (Legendary would have been your daddy) Legendary with the iWHBYD skull and a random skull in there as well.
EASO (Easy All Skulls on) self explanatory LASO prep.
