Ricochet is probably my favorite default Halo game-type ever, of all time… See what I did there? other than VIP and Invasion (and that’s pretty good). It is very fun as well as being quite competitive and although my KD is only barely positive when I normally play it, I still enjoy it thoroughly. I especially like all the new sounds and announcers lines, they make the game much more intense and I even realized that the announcer in the last 5 seconds of the game will actually call out “Five… Four… Three… Two… One…” which was unexpected but I found very cool.
This game-type uses is also one of the only objective game-types where I can actually still have an even, competitive match with randoms and although the passing system isn’t used nearly as much as if you had proper teammates, the game is still very fun.
When the limited time Ricochet playlist eventually gets taken down I would love to see this game-type get tweaked to be included in playlists like Big team Skirmish and Team Throw-down. Although I do not play Throw-down myself I really enjoyed watching this getting played and I personally think this would make a great competitive entertaining game-type addition to the competitive scene. I am also very interested to see how this game-type will work with Multi-team using six teams of two, I am wondering if there will maybe even be 2 or 3 balls in there.
Overall I would have to say I give the Ricochet game-type a 9/10 and would love to see it incorporated into more playlists in the future.
