Question regarding removed gametypes.

Games Other Halo
1

First of all, I would like to point out that I’m loving the game, so please don’t take this as “OMG 343 butchered halo bungie is best ever!!”.

As I’m sure many of you have noticed, there is no more Juggernaut, Assault, Race, etc. Now, I understand from a matchmaking perspective why it would make sense to remove them, but doing so massively limits the variety of custom gametypes. Juggernaut alone provided crazy gametypes (Jenga, for example). Also gone is rocket race, one of my favorite gametypes for local play. So here’s a fairly simple proposal: Why not just bring back the gametypes, but leave them ut of matchmaking? Seems like a fairly easy thing to do, and I know a lot of ‘forgers’ would absolutely love to see these gametypes back.

I’m sure this will get lost in the flood of threads going through, but if you do agree I would appreciate a comment or two to keep this afloat. Many thanks!

Wow, this got wiped off of the face of the earth even quicker than I thought. Shameless bump!

Assault seems like an odd one to cut, methinks. I’d like to have the Oddball-style passing, except maybe a bit more Hail-Maryish.

I’m also wondering why they cut out so many gametypes. I’d definitely like Race back for sure. I loved making race maps for friends.

I know they’re making a Swat playstyle, so maybe Race/Assault/Invasion are also coming. Who knows, but I hope.

I completely agree… What happened to team swat? yes its in custom games but that was a really fun and good matchmaking game.

I think that they will add SWAT and Grifball to the playlists in an update before too long. They also said that they were going to treat title updates as ways to add features to the game rather than just bug fixes, so they may add back some of the missing gametypes like Race and Assault at some point.
