Halo 5 is fun to play but the lack in variety of gametypes is beginning to make the game feel a bit stale. What game types would you like 343 to put back in?
Also before anyone says anything about the weekend playlists “we get new game modes every weekend”, not really, all we’ve seen so far is mostly just slayer with different weapons and breakout on different maps
Infection- The normal, but also an elimination where it’s one super tough infected vs really weak humans and they don’t become infected, they just die once it kills them, and a breakout style pack gamemode. One team plays infected and has to eliminate the other team. Once you die, you stay dead.
Grifball- And Richochet. I loved them both. Perhaps add a Grifball assault, where one team has to get the ball in and the other has to keep it away for the time limit.
Bombs- Assault and all that. They’re cool af and have to return. I love bomb assault maps.
Oddball- Oddball needs to make a return, and it’d have to make one for grifball to come back too.
Fiesta- Fiesta obviously needs to make a comeback, but with it it should bring random weapons, so it helps people create gamemodes like TTT in Halo again.
King Of The Hill- Duh, I really enjoy this gamemode. it’s a classic.
Regicide- Oddly enough, I enjoyed this Halo 4 mode and especially enjoyed the team variant. I think it should come back.
Infection should be added in, or the ability to allow team changing in the middle of a match so we can do the Halo 2 style infection. Team changing would also be useful for custom games in general if you want to switch out players or someone joins the wrong team by mistake.
Also with the addition of so many cool forge elements and effects there is so much potential for awesome spooky infection maps
At this point (and maybe it’s because I haven’t logged in too many online hours yet), I really enjoy Warzone’s maps - I would be in favor of adding a few variants of that.
Halo 2 Anniversary had the best Infection implementation in the franchise. I hope they salvage as much of it as possible.
Aside from that, I feel like most of the answers I want to offer are obvious answers – staples like Assault and VIP – but in particular, I’d like to see the Reach-specific gametypes return. Things like HaloBall were surprisingly versatile when paired with Forge. (And would it be unreasonable to ask for Halo Chess? Probably. :P)
Firefight or a PVE Warzone variant.
Multi-team, Broslayer, Headhunter, Juggernaut, and Fiesta would all be cool, but maybe just as weekend playlists.
As far as permanent gametypes, Oddball, Regicide, and Infection would be nice to see.
