I honest to God want to know why Slayer is still in Team Arena. It’s not an objective based gamemode and slayer pretty much dominates most playlists. I want to play Team Arena to get away from that hell. It honestly ruins my nights when I get slayer 8 times in a row in Team Arena on maps I hate with a passion. If I wamted to play Slayer I would go into its dedicated playlist or one of the other several playlists based on the gamemode. 343i I know you’re pretty much over H5G, but please do this one last thing and remove Slayer from Team Arena.
I agree with you, it’s been like that since day one. I’m sure there’s a reason for it but I don’t remember. It’s unbelievable after all this time that there isn’t a single team objective type playlist!
Can we please revisit this topic. 343 whilst we wait for Halo Infinite can you please remove Slayer from Team Arena and give us a purely objective based game. This would assist us players that play from outside the US to at least have a fighting chance in being able to have some good games as going head to head in gunfights in Slayer is almost a doomed situation. Aside from this I’m sure as OP has stated if players want to play Slayer then there are several dedicated game modes purely for this. Please at least for common sense and player satisfaction can you simply remove Slayer in Team Arena. Come on waypoint community can we have some support on this and if so please post your support for this here. Thanks for this post OP and I hope someone listens…
Yeah, I am glad they consolidated the playlists but they did it so poorly. I actually liked spartan charge and ground pound. I’m not too upset that they took it out of HCS. But my favorite stuff to play is OBJ and now there is no ranked playlist with OBJ and spartan abilities. I really was hoping more for two playlists that each had a mix of slayer and obj but didn’t have much overlap with gametypes/maps. Like and HCS playlist and an Arena playlist each.
Halo should have a ranked slayer playlist and a ranked objective playlist. Period. This was always the case in my memory. H5 should not be any different.
I have been saying it for awhile… I’m not sure why it was in the Team arena playlist. I’m fine with it now being all together in the HCS playlist but it’s annoying how you still have quick play which is strictly slayer in social and core play that is also a social playlist and has slayer as well as oddball, strongholds and CTF but features slayer 70% of the time.
Amen, brother. Amen.
I’ve been asking for a team objective playlist FOREVER. I went on strike for about a month when Quick Play, ANOTHER Slayer playlist, was put in the game. I was so pissed off. I can’t believe they have Assault, KOTH, and many others, but don’t do anything to let them shine. Slayer overshadows everything every time.
I say this in every thread that has asked for a team objective playlist: As of now, Breakout is the only ranked playlist that has absolutely no association with Slayer. That is so utterly ridiculous!
343, I realize that you like Slayer a lot, but I think it’s time you MAYBE consider the people that DON’T like it, and give them a haven to rest in and enjoy themselves, and maybe give them more chances to finish off commendations. I BEG YOU.
I completely agree with this point, but they’re obligated to push HCS, and since “Team Arena” is now the new name for “HCS”, and “Core Play” is the old “Team Arena” playlist, they can’t do that anymore.
This topic has come up a lot. The only answer I’ve ever seen is it has to do with the halo professional league. Because they want slayer with the objectives in the league the rest of the fan base has to eat it and deal with having slayer in the only objective ranked playlist even though theirs already a slayer playlist… Here’s hoping with halo infinite I guess…

It seems like the case but surely they also have an obligation to their paying customers and there seems like enough customers would like a completely objective based gamemode… I hope they can remove it surely it’s not that hard right? We just need everyone to keep pushing for this change.
As upsetting as it is, I doubt H5 will ever get a dedicated objective playlist. Hopefully Infinite will not suffer the same fate
Maybe it’s because of how tournaments are ran. In tournaments, essentially it is the current team arena/former hcs playlist. Where the elite teams face off in the mixture of objective and slayer matches. You’re I suppose…being rated as an overall player. Not just slayer, not just objective hence why it’s not called by neither of those names.
Of course, I can see how unlucky it is to get a few matches of slayer in a row in team arena…but on the flipside…facing the same team twice back to back where 1 math is objective and one is slayer is nice. Maybe it’s just hard to regulate how often it comes up. Idk.
