I love Halo, and infinite is pretty good minus all the issues outlined on the forum, but ranked matches is really sapping my will to play this game. ( I only really play ranked)
Not being able to choose a game type I want to play just makes me not want to play sometimes, And the lack of weapons on the maps is very stale.
Anyone else getting tired of not be able to choose?

I’m guessing Halo is trying to gear its playlist system more towards the likes of Overwatch and other modern shooters where you just queue and play whatever the game has to offer. imo this approach just doesn’t work in Halo, classic area deathmatch is what comprises the game’s core. objective modes are an option for when you want a break from slayer, they shouldn’t be what the bulk of the game is.
I want team doubles man
So true , I love team doubles
This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I enjoy objective games, but just want to mostly play slayer. Not slayer every 8 games
For me personally it’s not the game types or weapons but the gameplay. With broken aim assist and poor hit registration it’s just unplayable sometimes. Especially when you have 27ms ping and still getting massive amounts of packet loss.
I’m warming to the idea of the combined playlist.
Previously all I wanted to play was Slayer. But Oddball is fun enough… and I’m warming to Strongholds. It’s only CTF I struggle with - not because of the game type per se, just that it’s hard to co-ordinate a random team.
Maybe they could add a little slider where you rank the game-types (eg. out of three) and the system tries to prioritise your selections. You still play the field, so to speak, but mostly what you prefer.
And the same with the maps (when we get more of them).
I don’t care about ranked personally, but I’ll get behind any call for more playlists. All of this mixed and random stuff is getting on my nerves.
Ranked should be more objective focused and just have a social slayer playlist. Having an objective forces the games to play better imo.
Why do you think that? Every Halo had ranked Slayer.
I’ve always enjoyed playing objectives with a team, but I prefer Slayer when solo queuing. Also, sometimes I just want to focus on killing players.
Halo has always been an arena based shooter, not objective based. I’m just asking for the ability to choose.
The playlist should be separated
Ranked
Slayer
SWAT
Objective
FFA
Social
BTB
Objective 4v4
Infection
Slayer 4v4
Fiesta
I think Team Slayer is frightfully boring.
Sure add it in as a playlist but I don’t think players should get to pick CTF or Oddball for example.
Yeah ranked slayer is dull, I don’t understand why people are obsessed with it. It’s very one dimensional. If we had a breakout slayer in ranked then we’re talking.
I play the objective when I’m with a team that calls out, but I just slay and ignore the objective when I’m playing solo. That’s the sad way of it, I don’t like going negative just for 2 extra seconds of oddball time, but I’m a good oddball carrier
