Today, a new social playlist was added along with new modes.
What are your thoughts. Like them? Dislike? Do you think anything could be better?

Ain’t that the truth. Let’s not jinx though.
One of the things I think could be improved with Kong Slayer is having coils spawn on the map instead of auto-resupplying in your hand. The current format prevents Nuclear Footballs and I think that’s one of the cooler aspects of fighting with coils. And to balance this give the players a plasma pistol with ammo so they can shoot back if they don’t have one at the moment. Might even be able to shoot the coil from their hand.
I really enjoy a lot of the games so far. They seemed designed for fun instead of competition which is nice. Glad to see some focus in fun gameplay. Only improve for me so far is I’d like unlimited grapples and plasma grenades for some of the play lists. But two thumbs up for me.

I still think people have been influenced by influencers and misinterpret words that have different meanings than they do. Or people lump categories together that shouldn’t be.
For example: Social does NOT mean Fiesta/Party. Competitive does NOT mean Fair/Sportsmanship.
The “Social Slayer” modes should be in a Fiesta playlist and/or rename the playlist, keeping the game type names. Maybe the Blam games or the Rukamuk playlist.
Social is supposed to encourage teamwork and socializing while playing. Learning and sharing game techniques with players. Social is a place in the middle of chaos and control. Where players have a good fundamental grasp of gameplay but are still willing to try new things and make mistakes.
Ranked is for players that have it together. They know all the ins and outs and want to test themselves against others. Teamwork and coordination are at centerstage here. Call outs dominate any communication, there is no room for socializing. It is a competition.
These games have not gotten me to turn on my mic yet. I have no desire to party up with people in any of these games that encourage chaotic bouncing about or not having weapons to hunt for and control. Nor any positions to coordinate around.
I could go on all day about this… I have to stop.
Pretty good. 343 needs to add community game modes and ideas to the playlist, or when forge releases. Also rename it to Action Sack.

Really digging the playlist. Finally some random fun that isn’t just random weapons.
Getting some ol’ midship rockets only feels.

Traditionally , these modes would be in Action Sack, but I get the feeling 343 is saving AS for when forge releases since it so reliant on it.
For some reason Kong Slayer isn’t showing up for me, I’ve already played social slayer like 30 times and none of them were Kong Slayer :\
