Look 343… I’m going to be straight up here. EVERYBODY HATES not being able to pick the game type they want to play. NOBODY LIKES THIS. I don’t want to go try and play attrition and be FORCED to play CTF or oddball.
Idk why you dorks can’t understand this. I’m fine with quick play existing but not as long as we aren’t able to select SPECIFIC game types to play whenever we want. Such a joke.
Also- the mangler didn’t need a damage nerf. But thanks for adding now ANOTHER useless gun to the sandbox. Perfect.

It is being added to multiple playlists, probably its own as well, get over yourself
The mangler needed a nerf 100%, about not choosing what you want to play, i agree

I agree there needs to be 3 more playlists:
- Flag matches (CTF, One Flag)
- Ball matches (Oddball and hopefully later also Griffball)
- Zone matches (Strongholds and KOTH)
But i don’t mind them keeping Quick Play for just a couple of completely random popular gamemodes when those 3 other playlists are added.
But as long as that is not the case (and i think this is for a while, since the menu is to full according to them…), they should not add new gametypes to QP.
I get that they need to put Attrition in somewhere, since the current limitation on number of playlists, so QP makes sense. But it should not be added on top of the current gamemodes, but as replacement of the Slayer gamemode in QP. Slayer already has an own playlist (Team Slayer), so removing it from QP to make room for Attrition makes sense.

Lol, I already stopped playing Quick Play because the Slayer playlists actually let me choose what damn mode I want to play. Putting Attrition in it just ensures that I will probably never play the Quick Play playlist ever again.
Also, melee is getting adjusted so the Mangler can’t one shot + one melee for a near instant kill. My understanding is that the bullet damage will stay the same.
I think the mangler nerf could’ve been handled differently, but let’s just hope there’s future flighting to test weapon changes.
Personally, I don’t see the point in playlists in this day and age. I don’t know why, but there are so many useful features in MCC that 343 didn’t carry over to Infinite for some odd reason. Selecting which gamemodes to search for being one.
Originally, I thought that phase 3 of the MCC was a sort of test bed for Infinite, but nothing that I can think of got carried over except the Fractures event. The whole situation is pretty weird.
Also, Mangler didn’t need a nerf.

I agree.
For any players who want to do more that just shoot other players, there’s Oddball, CTF, and Zone matches. Now it’s pretty rare to actually see these modes.
Attrition is just more Slayer. In Halo PvP, Slayer, Attrition, FFA, LSS, Ranked, and Tactical are all the same game. Almost everybody is just lone-wolfing it, so the different modes of Slayer all play the same. And I like these modes just fine, I’m even good at them, I just want something different sometimes.
Now, whenever I sign up for Quick Match, it’s Attrition, Slayer, Attrition, Oddball, Attrition, Attrition, Slayer, CTF, Attrition, Attrition, Attrition, Slayer…
We do need a match finder, but the game needs a higher population first.
