Streamline the Competitive Playlist

Ranked vs Unranked TU vs no TU

Vanilla Slayer:
Keep Rumble pit,Team Snipers. Take out Team Arena, and make Team Slayer ranked (guest player just will not be ranked. Or vice versa take out Team Slayer and make Team Arena the only 4 vs 4 gametype on the list.This keeps the population playing for 4 vs 4 high. Merge squad slayer(make it 6 vs 6) with multi team -swith between the two, make those perhaps the only unranked gametypes in Vanilla competitive. There is not need for two seperate Double Team gametypes. Either make Double Team ranked, or Change it to Doubles arena and Still make it ranked. Guest should be able to play on it, they just wouldn’t be ranked. So in the end here is what my Vanilla playlist will look like.
Vanilla Slayer Part:
1- Team Arena (or Slayer) - Ranked (improved pop. density)
2- Double Team (or Arena) - Ranked (improved pop. density)
3- Rumble Pit - Ranked
4- Team Snipers - Either Ranked or Unranked
5- Team Objective - Either Ranked or Unranked
TU Update part:
1- Squad Slayer - Unranked (Tu vs Vanilla in the Voting)(Delet Squad DLC)
2- Multi Team - Unranked (Tu vs Vanilla in the Voting)
3- Big Team Battle - Ranked (Tu Only)
4- Tu Slayer - Ranked (Tu Only) Slayer as its own playlist
5- Team Objective - Either Ranked or Unranked

SWAT would be incorporated into Team Arena, and Rumble Pit but will only show up rarely. Living dead and Invasion should be custom games LOL

My 2 cents. Thoughts?

Anybody have thoughts on this?

Your idea about the guests in Arena wouldn’t work out. It’s not that their progress can’t be saved, it’s that 8/10 times, they suck. Plain and simple. I don’t want the rest of my team triple screening it up on a small TV and royally sucking.

I would defiantly like to see a restructuring of ranked play in Reach and an expansion would be nice as well.

I dont know how I missed this thread but Im glad you bumped it =)

Welcome to Waypoint.

No TU Doubles or FFA anymore? :frowning:

SWAT needs to be its own playlist. Period. It should, however, be ranked. Objective should be unranked. Good ideas otherwise.

Don’t know how I missed this thread either. Although I agree Reach needs the implication of some new Ranked Playlists I wouldn’t go about it the same way you would but I support your efforts!

REU,

You definitely have some good ideas here. My favorite of which is making the option to play a ranked Rumble. There are many of us, myself included who enjoy playing competitively in rumble pit. It should get the respect it deserves.

I would also say though that these things should be tried out and voted on. In other words if someone wants to play a game of casual rumble pit, TU or Vanilla or a game of ranked rumble that those should all be options.

By the way I saw you ranked #1 for head shots at one point in Halo tracker. You also use the jet pack. You are a beast.

Nice post and good ideas. I would like to see people have an option to try some of these things out maybe for a period of time while they still have options to play what they are used to.

Its no hair off their back, if they suck. The main account will just have to know that if he has a guest there is a risk of losing the game. I’ve been beaten by a main/guest account in doubles before btw.

If you don’t want to triple screen you don’t have to, you just have to go in with 3 other people from your friends list or go in normally like you do now. The triple screen is only if you have buddies without their own gamertags wanting to play right next you in your living room.

Isn’t Arena limited to 2 local players anyway? You wouldn’t have a triple split.
