it’s pretty sad that they don’t support those who don’t want to be MLG wannabe’s. i know halo new motto is “winning is everything” but you game lacks the FUN factor previous games have had. and it’s just so so sad.
seriously how hard would it be to implement a “mercenary” game type, that you can only que into as a solo player?
Ohhh… mercenary game mode… that’d be sick, you could have like a bounty put on a targets head and the first one to kill it wins!
I have alot of things going through my head right now but I’ll keep it simple with “try FFA”.

Let’s not pretend FFA is anything but a sauna.
I’d be all for a mercenary Warzone Playlist. And a social slayer one.

are you one of those, “find a team” people? or one of those "i checked your profile, you aren’t that good humble your self "/ “git gud” people?
because 1, you shouldn’t HAVE to find a team to have a bit a fun with a game you like. this isn’t destiny.
and 2, when i actually cared back in pre-season, season 1 i was fully capable of carrying teams with a 1.2 average. and it wasn’t worth the stress when you go 25-3 and someone on your team goes 5-15. not to mention the QUITING. nothing tilts me more then the amount of AFKing and quiting with no JIP support in this game.
so if you are either one of those types of people, that is my respond to that.
as far as your “try ffa” answer. i did, and with the new pistol, it is just a camping pop shot fest, which is nowhere near as good, in flow or gameplay, as halo 3’s free for all. and my attention span is far too small to deal with the lack of action. 10 minutes in halo 5 feels like an hour when playing free for all.
are you aganist, a solo que gametype/playlist? if so, please explain what bad could come out of that.

not exactly what i meant lol, but doesn’t sound too bad, not sure it would work in halo though.

New motto? I’m not sure why you say that like it’s a bad thing. Isn’t winning pretty much the main goal? Why play if not to win?
I don’t know what Mercenary mode is. Could you explain it to those of us who don’t play COD. I am assuming that is the game you are referring to.

Maybe I’m just not understanding properly. OP, are you after something like a social FFA? All I took from your post is that you wanted a playlist that you can only search alone in.
I don’t mean to sound a bit rude, but isn’t the point of a multiplayer match to win, I understand your frustration with not having a group to play with I too have that problem and a playlist that doesn’t allow parties would be nice but social ranked what difference does it make? In the end the only difference is its title and maybe some weapon placement’s, you will have try hards wherever you go op 
I am a solo player and I have plenty of fun in H5.
Are you you aganist, a solo que gametype/playlist? if so, please explain what bad could come out of that.
EDIT: I must’ve messed with the quote too much, up above is a quote from the OP.
I just don’t think I’m understanding you properly. All I understand is that you want a mode that you can search alone in, which is what FFA is. I’m not understanding exactly what it is that you’re asking for.
Ooooh, I think I understand now that I think of the CoD black ops 2 playlist “mercenary death match”. You’re wanting a team game that’s composed of nothing but solo players? Ok, gotcha. (If I’m still wrong then that’s embarrassing).
Now that I understand, yes, I believe it would be a good addition.
I mean you could. You could hop on slayer you don’t need a team. If your going for hard wins then yea but if you are there to play you can play. but what game modes had solo play? I’m thinking as far back to 3 and the only thing that comes to mind is FFA and maybe action sack

yes it originated from cod, but even gears has adopted it, basically, it is a separate suite of the standard gametypes( think halo 3 how they had ranked and a whole separate social) but you can only play this suite of gametypes, if you que (look for a match) ALONE so you know you would get a match where it isn’t a pre-made team you are facing. or duo que, so only you and a buddy can que in together, so it isn’t a FULL TEAM. you are going against, but at very most, only 2 people are using communation unless they go into game chat, which rarely anyone does these days.
i feel that would remedy some of the pain solo players feel

when money, nor elimination (tournment play) is not in the picture, the objective would be to have a good time. which ultimately, is subjective, because no one likes losing,sure. but i don’t know that many people who like pulling their hair out to get a win do you?
most games find a way to find that middle ground of winning being the goal, but if you come up short? you could be like you know what? that was still pretty alright, let’s run another yeah?
i feel like the latter is extremely hard to reach in this years/cycle of halo.
i feel as if i am not only at a disadvatage when playing solo, but that the game is punishing me for doing so.
of course my opinion and feelings, you are free to respectfully disagree. but that is what i go through when i play H5

because it’s a video game, and they are entertainment?
it’s not that the point is winning, it’s the fact that personally, i don’t only feel at a disadvantage for playing solo, i feel PUNISHED for it.
there should be a balance between the feeling of “winning being everything” and " that was a good time although we lost" this game doesn’t have much of the latter, i personally feel.
In the OPs defense, heres an example of what solo searching can get you. Eli, iSpiteful and Kampy. -Yoinking!- seriously? People will continue to say I don’t deserve Onyx, but how the hell am I supposed to get there with games like this? I was a diamond going against champs. I can now say that I have killed Kampy, though. I was the only one who was able to get him. Aren’t I a special -Yoinking!- flower.

Okay I could get behind that. It is a shame that 343i hasn’t implemented party search. Could it be because they know the population isn’t large enough to accommodate slol and teams?

What about a 1 vs 1 competitive playlist, that is my wish

You mean the not Halo FFA Slayer playlist? Also low population.
