Super Slayer? What Is It?

Excuse Me, But I want to know what Super Slayer is as I dont really know, I have never played that playlist… except for one time though, but I couldnt see the difference between it and normal Team Slayer.
Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

It features a majority of the Team Slayer maps & gametypes except it has the following settings enabled:

85% bloom
Sword Block disabled
Camo nerf
Armour Lock nerf

There is also a Zero Bloom gametype in Super Slayer.

And party restrictions.

Yet people keep defending Vanilla Reach (Team Slayer) saying “it’s what the majority wants!!!” How many more people are like the OP but never bother to figure out what TU means. TU > Vanilla all day, every day.

I maintain that if TU gametypes were placed in the Team Slayer playlist for a day, the population wouldn’t change. The vast majority of people don’t closely follow these forums and don’t know about the TU, so when they choose a playlist, they go for the familiar name.

I wish 343 would do an experiment for a few weeks or even a month,and just put Super Slayer at the top where Team Slayer was,and Team Slayer where Super Slayer was…let’s see how the pop. decreases/increases

Do this instead: Rename “Super Slayer” to “Team Slayer” and rename “Team Slayer” to “Vanilla Slayer.” - I’d put good money on Vanilla Slayer having an even lower population than Super Slayer currently does.

Pretty much, it’s Halo Reach, fixed.

How about just rename Team Slayer to Vanilla Team Slayer and rename Super Slayer to TU Team Slayer. Give them both the same settings and then delete the one that’s dying off.

Since this thread is only asking what it is, there is NO reason to bring up yet ANOTHER argument about this…

Sounds perfect - except for the Camo nerf, since I use camo all the time and have gotten used to the way it currently works. Despite being aware of the TU, I’d still no idea what Super Slayer was. Bad handling of the job by 343 there.

You’re right there - and the only reason I’ll continue playing Team Slayer for now because it will be easier to find a match. But I may begin to dip my toes into Super Slayer for the good of the game. They really should have just demoted Team Slayer and have had Super Slayer replace it as the new default

Why exactly are you so obsessed with the naming scheme? Is it petty-minded bickering about which settings appear to be default reach or what? People like you have derided team slayer as little more than a creche since the start, but now you want to take it anyway, just because?

Whats in a name bito? Dont you have more important things to complain about?

I’d hardly call it an obsession. More me wanting to prove a point that the average player who doesn’t frequent the forums still has no idea what the TU actually does, and thus will always play Team Slayer regardless of the settings.

Even though its no secret i wouldnt oppose it, I didnt say I wanted to take away your preferred version. I said I wanted to change the name. What is it about that that actually bothers you? 343 promised your side that they’d keep a part of the game Vanilla. I don’t see why their version of the game shouldn’t occupy the flagship playlist while the settings that they believed were inferior are the ones sent off to another playlist.

Why do you even care that I care? Is it because you know that I’m right? You know that if the tables had been turned and the TU was chosen to take over Team Slayer, while vanilla setting were shifted to another playlist and given a different name that you’d be the one playing in a low populated playlist?

Would a rose by any other name still smell as sweet? :wink:

Don’t you have better things to do than worry about what I’m complaining about?

Super Slayer is Team Slayer except with 85% Bloom, no Sword Block, and slightly nerfed Camo and Armor Lock.

I really don’t see a difference in gameplay though. I’m getting just as angry in Super Slayer as I do in Regular Team Slayer because of the map selection.

I’ll stop at that last reply to avoid any kind of real escalation.

Whoah there,who said I wanted to argue?Was just stating what I though might/might not be a good experiment for 343 to do
