tried the holiday social playlist this week. And while I still think the idea of unranked play is abit stupid I enjoyed it, but what I don’t get is how all the playlist has is 3games of snipers 3 games of shotty snipers and 1 game of slayer? What gives? There’s should be way more objective game types and some rumble pit style games. It wouldn’t be hard for them to make one flag ctf, “assault” by doing ctf with the flag going to their base and King of the hill with a single stronghold
Social Snipers Good Idea
Social Slayer used to have rockets as a gametype. Is that better?
I certainly don’t consider getting shot in the face 25 times “social”?!
yeah social implies a casual playlist, which snipers isnt really, you are either good at snipe duelling or you suck at it, like me. losing games 50-10 isn’t very fun or casual.

Yeh it doesn’t take much to add these, hell we can make these in custom games at the moment even with the sorry state it’s in so they should be able to.
•rockets
•splazers?
•grenades?
•melee + Abilities only
•vehicle combat like gungooses, dog fights with banshees?
all of these would be dead easy to do
This whole thing just blows my mind.
I could understand if it was Team Snipers along with other gametypes, but JUST Team Snipers and Slayer, with it usually being Team Snipers? In the game’s only social 4v4 playlist? What were they thinking?
You just don’t put a sweaty as -Yoink- gametype like Team Snipers in what’s supposed to be the dedicated casual playlist.
I think it’s because the only thing attracting casuals to Halo anymore is Sniper playlists so they weighted the Snipers heavier over the Holidays in that playlist to try to get people to stick around. I agree it would be nicer if there were say three Slayers then one Snipers game instead of the other way around, but I guess we got what we got.

Exactly, like I said I don’t mind it, it’s good fun on the large maps but on the smaller ones where you need cat like reflexes , an aimbot and see into the future just to have a chance at beating someone who airborne snapshots you every minute, then that’s not fun… Haha but in all seriousness you’re right the “social” playlist should only be casual game types like rumble put used to be. I see no reason for unranked slayer to be a thing because all it takes is a few friends who kick -Yoink- together to decide that they want to wreck people in the social playlist and then it’s stops being fun. balanced matchmaking all the way
