This is how playlists should be

This is complete and utter bull to the point I don’t even wanna comment on it. I’ll let others talk about it.

I am angry at Ar starts for these reasons.

1.) It’s super easy to use, and shoots outside of it’s intended range.
2.) It has high damage and accuracy effectively making the sandbox broken (the stuff you guys complained about for years yeah?)
3.) It has 0 skill gap. 0.
4.) It’s a boring playstyle and kills feel cheap and dull.
5.) You guys have had 3 games by 343 with AR starts and a good mangum… what do we BR fans get a slap in the face constantly.

What is so bad about FFA? My dude, it’s FFA. The top 3 players get a rank up. It’s all about stealing kills, getting the jump on people and rotations. The game mode is very very dependant on map knowledge to beat other people. I personally don’t play it much, but if it doesn’t effect you… or you play it… I don’t see why you are moaning about it.

Yes, It would. It has AR starts, and BR starts. It has ranked for everyone, variety for fun game modes, and a customs browser.

We just can’t be catering heavily in either direction. I want my BR starts plain and simple, we haven’t had them in 3 freakin games.

Lets have a bunch of playlists but lets make them all boring and irrelevant.

How I would do playlists:

Ranked:
-HCS playlist (they could just call it competitive)
-Team Snipers
-FFA competitive (should be HCS settings)

Social:
-BTB
-Warzone (yes, I said it)
-4v4 Quickplay
-SWAT (needs Sidekicks and other weapons btw, its kinda dull right now)
-Firefight (Warzone Firefight is an acceptable version.
-Infection
-weekly rotating playlist (Grifball, Race, whatever)

Then you have other things like Campaign Co-op.

I wouldn’t mind a toned down list, but I want my BR starts in casual too. Everywhere you go it’s just AR besides 1 ranked playlist. Not just a flip of the coin to get it either… People already know my opinion about them… on this forum lol…

I am just trying to satisfy everyone here.

You literally only get a BR in ranked. Theres also BR spawns on literally every map.

If your list was put into the game tomorrow, the game would die because the population would get split too much and matchmaking times would be awful.

If your list was implemented in the same style as MCC’s matchmaking composer, we’d probably have the greatest matchmaking in Halo history (other than MCC, one new game can’t compete with 5 complete games combined imo lol).

If your list was implemented as a truncated version, with some of these just being gametype’s that appear within a larger playlist bucket, it could be an improvement over what we have now.

So there’s a lot of potential here lol

Social slayer should have a mix of BR starts and AR starts imo (preferably with a veto system).

The BR start should mirror the ranked playlist map weapon layout and game modes, but just keep radar and grenade hit markers (it could even lose the nade hit markers tbh).

Then social would have gametype’s in it that directly train you for ranked right within matchmaking. As OG now it’s either academy, custom games, or ranked itself to use as training for ranked

doing this will absolutely destroy the game and then out the players. The format they have now is good.

100% right, the format now is just perfect and it gets people all in, that list from the OP will kill it and not only that but the Battle Pass will become useless.

They keep messing with this and we will lose the battle pass that never expires will expire.

If Ranked FFA is good enough for competition play it’s good enough for a ranked playlist.

This, i love objective gamemode.
Actual there is a Team Slayer gamemode and Quickplay which has a rotation of Slayer, Oddball, Stronghold and CTF.
Where is a pure objective gamemode?

BTB absolutely should not be BR starts.

It made sense back in Halo 2 and a bit in Halo 3, but ever since Reach starting with the long-range Primary has messed BTB up something serious.

Actually untrue.
Most 4v4 maps only spawn either Commando or BR on racks, so they aren’t even a staple spawn.

And BTB can even spawn NO BRs.

That is entirely too many splits.

I still don’t know why we have to separate Slayer from Objectives, but if you insist that be the case SWAT should be rolled into thee Slayer playlist. And AR/BR starts can just be variants within that playlist as well.

Fiesta and Zombies should go into Action Sack. Maybe even FFA as well.

Ranked should just be a single Arena playlist, full stop.

Arena, Slayer, BTB, Ranked, Action Sack
Yeah, five is plenty.

My Christmas wish list for Infinite playlists

Ranked

(Hardcore settings with a mix of slayer and objective)

  • Team Arena
  • Double Team
  • FFA

(Ranked with radar and less die hard settings so my eyes bleed less - a mixture of Br and Ar starts)

  • Team Slayer
  • Double Team
  • FFA
  • CTF
  • OddBall
  • Strongholds
  • BTB

(Personally I would rotate these next two cause I don’t really care for them… but a part of my Xmas wish to is to think about the community)

  • Swat
  • Team Snipers

Social - Same as MCC

So the people who enjoy BR, a skill gap, should just straight take it for the past 3 games? We can’t even get a causal playlist or BTB with Br starts? are you serious?

I would love to see a HCS ranked playlist with BR starts, and the other ranked playlists to be BR + AR starts. If that ever happens, the AR can het a nerf i.m.o.

Also King of the Hill was fun.

because… it’s annoying now, just line in h5. overly accurate, overly high damage, and a long range of effectiveness with almost 0 spread. oh, like any other COD assault rifle -v-
for surs, either the spread needs increased (like in h2:a or reach) or the effective range needs to be decreased, i’ve been sniped by this thing. at very clear full fire
