I like the variety that the previous halo’s had in their playlists. For example, in previous halo’s the regicide gametype would have just been included in the FFA playlist which would have also contained oddball, slayer, and whatever else. Team objective would have included ctf, koth, oddball, assault, fun. These static playlists are boring because you are playing the same thing over and over again (and everyone usually votes for the same map). And if you continually switch the playlist that you are playing you will get stuck in a continuous loop of join in progress games (and everyone enjoys that:).
This was another thing that wasn’t broken in previous Halo’s so I am having a hard time coming to terms with why 343 decided to “fix” it.
Then go pick a different playlist when you get bored.
They separated them because of people who complain that certain game types never get selected when they were mixed together. In their own list people get to play what they want.
Yeah we need old favorites back like team objective, btb objective games(in the already exiting playlist), snipers, rumble pit, swat, doubles and multi-team since that are game types people love Halo for and if they’re added a lot of people who left for various reasons will return.
Other playlists like flag, oddball, koth, flood, griffball etc should be rotating playlists.
Out of all the things people complain about, this makes absolutely the least sense to me. You’re complaining that people get to choose to play what they actually want to play?
It seems to me that it increases the quality of the CTF game when everyone in it actually wants to play CTF, and not oddball or some other objective mode.
For example, I have always hated Slayer Pro but sometimes it would get the majority vote. Then my options were to either quit out or continue to play a match I had almost zero interest in. Either way, teammates suffered.
I am complaining because they cannot include all the variations of the standard modes that have made Halo fun over the years with the playlist setup they have now (if they did they would have like 65 different playlists). I love objective games in my Halo, and Halo 4 has treated the objective game lovers with disdain. CTF has been changed for the worse, no one has ever liked king of the hill (and now it has it’s own mode), they removed invasion for the awful dominion, and since these gametypes have their own dedicated playlists, that means that the objective games that we have come to know and love are no where to be found.
All I am asking is to change these dedicated objective playlists to include the other gametypes, for example the Dominion playlist could include Dominion and the extraction gametype. That way we could have a little variation with the group you are playing with from game to game (I thought that was why they included jip so you could stay and play with the same group of people game after game).
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
When I want to play CTF, I go play CTF. When I want to play Slayer, I play slayer. When I want to play KOTH, I play KOTH.
I want to be able to chose what gametype I play, not having to vote for it and hoping I don’t end up playing something I don’t want to play…
I get tired of seeing people whine about how there would have to be a lot of playlists. Fine. Let them have lots of playlists. I hated having to play five games of CTF to play a game of KOTH. Set up lots of playlists. Who cares if only 1000 people are in one? That’s 1000 people playing a game they want to play more than any other game at that moment.
Splitting up the objective playlists just causes unneeded clutter in the selection screen, while each individual playlist has a much lower population because of it.
Another playlist thread…
Dominion and CTF in BTB. That is all.
