And I’m talking about actual social playlists where rank and skill matching is completely removed. I don’t know about you all but I’m honestly getting tired of having to play super competitively against people in Onyx and Champion ranks and having teammates scream in your ear and call you out on small stupid mistakes you made in a match. I miss the days of Halo 3 and Reach even when you could go into a social playlist and not worry about people taking the game seriously and overall just having a good time playing Halo where people laugh and joke about those stupid mistakes you made.
Halo 5 is a great game. I love it. It was a much needed over haul after the train wreck that was Halo 4 but H5 could’ve been so much better. If Halo 5 shipped with actual 4v4 and FFA social playlists instead of having to go into Warzone to get your social fix, I believe more people wouldn’t have been so intimidated by the whole Halo E-Sport scene and not have ended up leaving for other games.
When I played H3 and Reach, there was so much that those games offered in terms of playlists that it honestly kept me playing for hours on end for their whole prime time life span. I had over 100,000 kills in each of those games and I’m only finding myself playing at least 5 to 10 games a day in Halo 5 with 21,000 kills because of the sheer amount of exhaustion that comes with always playing competitive.
Here’s hoping Halo 6 changes all that and offers something for the players that don’t like playing competitive every single time they want to play a nice ol’ 4v4 match.
Definitely agree.
Exhausting is the word. I just feel a little drained even after winning.
Socia Slayer and Social Arena (with objectives) would be fantastic
343 doesn’t know how to find middle ground on anything so H6 will probably be nothing but super casual modes

I would love this so much.
Sorry for the bump. I just want to know what anyone else thinks.
Agree with OP…
Also, we want oddball and king of the hill. Stronghold is NOT KotH
A social skirmish playlist (with slayer as a game type similar to arena) along with action sack would be very welcome in my opinion.

That’s nice, but he is still wrong. The social/ranked split worked just fine in H3.

Sadly this.

Once again demonstrating that apparently he does not care what his own customers want and that he thinks he knows what we need better than we do for ourselves, even if it worked fine in previous games.

Yeah the H3 options worked just fine but still, this was a time when H3 pretty much ruled Xbox Live and so there was a healthy population to fill all those playlists evenly.
Honestly, all I’ve wanted since H5 released is Action Sack, Infection, and Grifball…2 of 3 are here, and now I wait…
