no need to go into crazy depth on this, title pretty much says it all. They gave us attrition for the Cyber Showdown and then pulled it away immediately after the event ended? For what? They pulled the same crap with fiesta and it took the entire community going wild for them to cave and give us back a few game modes that traditionally launched with previous halo titles. I hate to be this negative but it’s just so easy to do nowadays. 343 is getting criticized daily for the lack of content in their beta game and they still think it’s a wise choice to take out the one new (and fun) game type we’ve gotten in months? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a game developer fumble this hard over and over. They seriously need to drop every missing game mode that previous titles launched with by s2 and start actually working on creative and new ideas to keep this game alive, I’m not waiting around for 10 years of this game just to finally get a chance to play firefight again within the next decade. Nothing about infinite is new or creative at all. And when they do come up with something new, there’s apparently a strong chance they’ll just end up taking it away for no reason lol
Honestly, I don’t understand either. Gamemode is fun, people want it, why keep it for only 2 weeks?? That’s illogical. Put it back and make a ranked playlist for the mode as well. Not that hard to do and players would be happy!
a ranked attrition mode would be so much fun
Who knows. It’s one of 343i’s ways of doing things I guess…
I believe it needed a little tweaking though. Hopefully it’ll be back in due time…
I agree, the rez mechanic was clunky. But knowing 343 I’m willing to bet my bank account that when attrition gets reintroduced they will have made 0 changes to it.

'Hey Spartans!
- The team is going to bring back Attrition in a more consistent manner such as its own playlist or part of a new one down the road. *
Thanks for playing and providing feedback on its debut. We love the mode too and we’re happy to see such a positive response to it.’
Maybe swap Team Slayer with Attrition in the Quick Play playlist given that we have a dedicated TS playlist.
I never saw this before thank you for sharing it

In all likelihood they know they have a captive audience of diehards who will keep coming back no matter what, and they know those are also the people who will spend money on the game. Given that, they can afford to treat the long term playerbase like **** in exchange for an increase in short term profits. So they ramp up the artificial scarcity wherever possible, and will continue to do so for as long as people keep coming back for more.
