When I play Halo 5’s Action Sack, I get memories of MCC’s Action Sack. A lot of “unusual” game modes get brought up, and few of them are very fun.
I love the low-grav grifball variant, and the ground pound arena (But seriously, what’s with the beam rifles??), but then things like the Breakout variants get pulled, and the fun factor plummets. In the MCC it had an unhealthy bias for the CQC themed shotgun/sword games while the fiesta styled games took a backseat to Shotty Snipers and Clang of the Hill.
This. Games like this, we could really use more of in the Action Sack playlist. That and a boost to the Fiesta games while toning down the frequency of Mantis Breakout.
Also, why not a return to things like Rocket Race and Gungoose CTF?
Took a break from the forums for some months because the hostility between members was getting pretty intense for me and it seems I forgot two-thirds of the things ODST’s are allowed to do in the meantime ^^;
And yeah… Tankworld’s alright for a while, but when it comes up frequently - or god forbid, you JIP into one - it gets old real fast. Mantis Breakout just isn’t fun period, and Minotaurs is an interesting concept but as you said plays too slowly to be enjoyable repeatedly. Ground Pound Arena’s a great concept, but is marred by having sniper weapons in it since more often than not people will just sit there and snipe the whole game instead of I dont know, ground pounding? I thought that was the point of the game type!

Not a fan of mantis breakout but also don’t hate it.

Same. It just gets old when it seems to come up repeatedly in a short period of time, like the CQC games dominating MCC’s Action Sack. I swear I had a post about that earlier, where I wrote down one hundred Action Sack games and the Shotgun/Sword themed game types came up the most, with fiesta games being a minority.

> You watch the Mainstreamers too? Thats awesome!!! I totally agree, we could use a revamp of gamemodes for action sack
Regularly yeah xD
I like how Greenskull can remain positive in almost every situation; even when he voiced his complaints about ‘New’ Breakout and the H5 Story he was able to do so without resorting to childish insults and vulgar commentary - thus dispelling the belief that you can’t voice your dislike of something in a polite way. Plus, they’re all such very fun people!
343i should pick through their channel for game types to throw into Action Sack, since they seem to pick up some real fun ones quite often. It’d also be cool to see someone remake Speed Halo from Reach - that was a blast!

> Just replace Minotaurs and TankWorld and I will be happy. Every time they come up, I dashboard. They are both too slow and no fun.
You know what I don’t get, why aren’t we using ONI or Hannibal Scorpions. That would make the game way faster.
