Take it out.
If we wanted to play Slayer, we’ll queue for it.
so you want to take out slayer and leave fiesta oddball, strongholds, husky raid and speed flag in the playlist?
Or you just want to play husky raid, in which case that argument has been covered many times
Thats what “take out slayer” would imply
I’m fine with slayer in fiesta party but take it out of ranked fiesta

Agreed, I’ve said this before somewhere super fiesta and skill separate like oil and water. There is no reason why this playlist should be ranked and take the place of FFA or Mythic. Not to mention the rankings are broken. I have a friend who consistently ranks gold in all playlists and is diamond 3 in “hardcore” super fiesta. Returning to the original topic, slayer is fine.

Has your friend played recently? The ranks were broken at the start and everyone placed at D3. They’ve since fixed it. Fiesta inherently has a lot more variance than other playlists but there’s still a skill gradient.
As for slayer in fiesta — it needs to stay. It’s a ton of people’s go-to game type, even though I prefer objective as well.

Maybe not, they told me the day it came out they hit D3. I checked and sure enough they did.
Agreed
No, Slayer should stay Fiesta. Its a playlist with random starting weapons which levels out the battlefield. The playlist isn’t going to be permanently either. Just learn to like Slayer or don’t play it. It won’t be long before its replaced with something else.
Exactly the opposite:
- Get rid of everything that isn’t slayer. - Get rid of the CE forge maps.Husky raid is a zero IQ mode and shouldn’t be in the same playlist as Super Fiesta Slayer. I’m not a big fan of most of the objective modes either. Speedball and Speed Flag need to go in particular.

It was broken for a day, they fixed it.
Also, it won’t be in ranked for much longer - May will have a new ranked playlist (Snipers I think).
It was a test, in a rotational slot. I think it’s fine for them to test things like this.

A wee bit harsh… I would argue objective games are higher IQ games simply because you need to balance the rambo kill the enemy aspect with the achieving the objective aspect in order to win the game, but to each his own…cheers!

The problem is that husky raid maps are just a straight line so the thought process boils down to go forward or sit and camp. Real maps allow for multiple routes and more satisfying gameplay in my opinion.

BrightSpArkZ asked a valid question. No need to be a -Yoink-.

Not all Husky Raid maps are a straight line. There are some really interesting maps in the mix and while it does seem pretty straight forward, in theory, it takes a solid team effort to overcome the opposing team, grab the flag, and make a mad dash to the other side before they have a chance to counter. Yes, just about any CTF game will be like that but Husky Raid adds an extra level of complication because of the random weapon spawns and smaller maps.
There’s nothing wrong with slayer. This playlist will be replaced in the next season and we probably won’t see it as a ranked playlist ever again. We should just enjoy it while we can.

I totaly agree with you because on the slayer map much Spartan Camping and I can’t kill everyone…
The chaos of fiesta slayer is its best attribute. It’s the one non-objective game type in the current playlist. Why not a simple solution like bringing back the fiesta slayer-only playlist, and then create a fiesta objective playlist for people that don’t care for slayer?
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I mainly play halo 5 to relax with friends, cut up via party chat, and NOT take the game too seriously. Fiesta slayer is the perfect game mode for that, although I’ll argue it’s not necessarily balanced. Not all power weapons are equal and there are a few that should be removed from the rotation completely because their slow speed or actual lack of power doesn’t match the chaos of most of the others.
Husky raid is only fun maybe 20% of the time, and that’s only because of friends in party chat. If I want CTF, I want the strategy of larger more open maps.

yea fiesta slayer is trash, man it would be great if there was a husky raid playlist like a ton of people have been asking for.
Please please please create a separate Objective Fiesta playlist. One of the things that has always made Halo stand out from other MP game types is that the objective based games had their own playlists. My friends and I have very limited hours per week to jump into games, and without a full team, Husky Raid is plagued with quitters and becomes a complete waste of that limited time.
Since Husky Raid (and to a lesser extent Strongholds, Speed Flag & Oddball) were rolled into Super Fiesta, the HR weight is so high. In 10 games a night, eight of those are Husky Raid, one was Slayer, and one was oddball.
There are definite times when HR can be fun, but it would be really nice to be able to choose to play when the feeling strikes.

Yeah, I think strongholds should go out too. You’re right it’s boring and is a redundant gametypes in fiesta!
