My choices would be…
Classic Slayer/Legendary Slayer
Big team skirmish
Team Objective: 4v4
Evolved Slayer: a mix of infinity, legendary, and slayer pro
Team Snipers
SWAT
Living Dead
Multi Team
Team Doubles
Team Action Sack
Capture The Flag: 5v5
And they need to include assault this time.
And you can come up with ideas that you think would make good playlists.
Ranked
Team throwdown
Team snipers
Swat
Lone Wolves (like halo 3)
Team Doubles
Mlg (Maybe)
Social
Legendary Slayer
Infinity Slayer
Legendary Rumble
Infinity Rumble
Team action sack
Grifball
Big Team infinity Slayer
Big team legendary slayer
Flood
Classic Infection
New Playlist
New Playlist
Legendary Objective
Infinity Objective
Infinity CTF
Legendary Ctf
Well, for one, Legendary Big Team Battle (slayer and objective included) or at least a playlist that includes the version of BTB like the gametype in Halo 4 now (basically pro with the motion sensor on) but for objective modes as well.
Other than that, I want to see a clear split between Legendary playlists and Infinity playlists (some of both being ranked- with visible CSR) and a variety of playlists on both options. I would also enjoy the return of DXP Weekends including a fun/weird/awesome community gametype every weekend for extra XP.
Split it up. Infinity would be the Social Section, and can use SR system. Hardcore would be the Ranked Area and would need an In Game System. Casual is the “Do whatever you want” place.
Playlist wise, this gives 13 playlists. Which is a fair amount…
Infinity
Infinity Slayer
Infinity BTB (Includes Objective Classics like KOTH and Oddball)
Squad Objective (Includes Dominion, Extraction and Team Regicide)
Multi-Team
Rumble Pit (Includes Regicide)
Hardcore
Lone Wolves (FFA)
Legendary Slayer (Maybe an option for BR Starts in it)
MLG/AGL Playlist (Or 343’s Competitive Playlist using those settings)
Team SWAT/Snipers (One Playlist will suit)
Team Doubles
Casual
Action Sack
Griffball
Living Dead/Flood (One or the Other)

Bad idea we need to please both sides of the community there is people who like halo 3/ halo 2s social part of slayer and objective we need to have legendary slayer in social and legendary objective in social than we can have agls objective and slayer settins in ranked. Also big team legendary slayer and objective would be nice

Basically this, but replace the new playlists with Dominion and Invasion and then make the list shorter by combining Flood and Infection, MLG and Throwdown (do you really need two?) and removing CTF altogether (it should just be in objective).
EDIT: But avoid the ranked/social side of things (just look at the list). I would do the ranked playlists very differently.

That is a really big -Yoinking!- run on.
The fact is, the only way you are going to please everyone at this point is to have Infinity and Legendary, both of them, but separate. Infinity is the more social one. You -Yoink- around, you can get random power weapons and AA’s, so it would be in the social section. Legendary Slayer is more tuned to the classic Halo experience (AR Starts, Grenades, No Ordinance or anything like that), so it would fall under the Ranked portion

If you played halo 3 that type of gameplay was meant to be social ar only starts not brs. and we have team throwdown why another ranked slayer playlist? i would rather have a good amount of social playlist with legendary slayer and objective and than infinity and objective.
Let me try again.
Legendary:
Infinity:
Ranked = visible CSR
Team Infinity Slayer
Big Team Infinity Slayer
Team Objective- CTF, Neutral Assault, Oddball, KOTH, 2-plot Extraction
Big Team Objective- CTF, 3 plot extraction, Dominion, 2 bomb Assault
Team Skirmish- 6v6 asymmetrical game types, 1 flag, Invasion…
Team Doubles
Rumble Pit- 6 player FFA
Arena- Competitive 4v4 Slayer and Objective
BTB Arena
Team Snipers
SWAT
Infection
Grifball
Multi Team
Random community gametypes- Race, Tremors…
Community forge testing
Custom lobbie search!
Well first off, enough of the silly and confusing names when possible. Also, bring back Reach’s UI, to make playlists more nice and organized.
Anything marked with [Skirmish] is a mix of objective and slayer play. Otherwise, it is simply one or the other.
Spartan League (Ranked/Competitive Play)
Team Hardcore [Skirmish]
Team Doubles
Team Snipers
Lone Wolves
Featured Tournament (Global Championship, Infinity Challenge, Etc.)
Wargames (Standard, Unranked Play)
Team Slayer
Team Classic [Skirmish]
Capture the Flag
Koth/Extraction*
Oddball/Ricochet*
Big Team [Skirmish]
Rumble Pit [Skirmish]
Off-Duty (Casual/Unusual Play)
SWAT
Multi-Team [Skirmish]
Grifball
Action Sack
Flood
Race
*Daily Rotation
I just want the same playlist I’ve been playing since Halo 2’s MP, Big Team Battle. Just don’t split it up this time between Slayer and Objective.
sword vs sword
Good ideas from everyone, I agree with the majority of you saying the playlists need to be separated. Here is my two cents:
Split the ranked and social playlists. CSR will only be implemented in ranked playlists. Both will reward players with 1 EXP point per win.
Ranked:
Social:
I believe this separation would best serve both the casual and competitive communities.
Double EXP playlists should also have some sort of a return.
> Split the ranked and social playlists.
I’m not too fussed as long as there is some good Slayer playlists with a bit of variety but I really would love it if they have a social/ranked split and a proper ranking system for ranked playlists.
