What changes would you make to these arena game modes or would you leave them exactly how they are? Feel free to just copy and paste the game modes and write what you think next to them!
Also, if you could keep 2 rotating playlists, what would they be and what would you change about them?
Team Arena
Slayer
Swat
Doubles
FFA
Breakout
BTB
Infection
Grifball
Action Sack

Example format:
Team Arena- Stay the same
Slayer- Stay the same
Swat- Stay the same
Doubles- Stay the same
FFA- Stay the same
Breakout- Old breakout
BTB- Stay the same
Infection- Stay the same
Action Sack- Stay the same
Snipers on arena maps

Yeah to be honest I only play FFA and Team Arena they’re perfect imo tried the other modes in older games wasn’t a fan but did really like the old breakout and team snipers was a lot of fun, cant really comment on anything else.
Team Arena - fun but needs some more objective modes.
Slayer - OK, wouldn’t change anything.
Swat - I don’t play this much at all, being invincible for 2 seconds after you spawn may combat spawn trapping.
Doubles - don’t play this much either.
FFA - I would like this to have some objective modes, maybe a FFA Strongholds game type.
Breakout - wouldn’t change anything.
BTB - Happy with how it is.
Infection - some of the maps need more exploit testing, as I went off this quite quickly due to that problem.
Action Sack - 343 needs to add more game types.
Super Fiesta - wouldn’t change anything.
Social Snipers - other Sniper Rifles need to be incorporated, instead of only being able to use the UNSC one.

I am with you on super fiesta and social snipers. I also would like permanent multi team with no hidden ranks (I still match high onyx and champs in there) instead of social slayer.
I would take out slayer in team arena. For those that want to play slayer, just use the ‘slayer’ playlist, removing this will ensure CTF and the other one way you capture the control points. I would also like to see assault back. Why bother making all the sound effects for a game which is never going to appear in arena? yet they won’t add in regicide or other game modes because they don’t have the voice overs for them.
I would add more maps
Team Arena - Remove radar and put all autos on Tier 2, this is the HCS playlist
Team OBJ- Unranked, default Halo 5 with more maps
Slayer - Ranked, default
Social Slayer - Unranked, default
SWAT
ACTION SACK
INFECTION
BTB
GRIFBALL
ranked:
team slayer
swat
swatnum
free for all
capture the flag
other objective game.
double
team sniper ranked
social:
social slayer with forge map and vehicule.
action sack
team fiesta
griftball
…
that what i would like.
I’ll just mention the playlists that I played and think need something different.
Team Arena - Hardly play it, but I know a lot of people want motion sensor removed and less autos (tier 2 SR).
Breakout - I’d just remove it in H6.
FFA - Fix the spawns and bring back 8 man FFA. Make autos tier 2. Use Veto’s FFA settings.
BTB - A lot of maps were designed for pistol starts so maybe try it out. Fix the framerate issues. Remove: Viking, Unearthed, Deadlock TS and Fracture TS. Altar needs better spawns and weapon placements or remove it. New maps can take their place. Recurve and Antifreeze are still up in the air for me. Estuary either needs the Banshee’s removed or just have a neutral one. BTB needs Assault, One Flag, and Heavies added.
Action Sack - Needs more gametypes. The entire playlist needs a refresh. Tankworld, Mantis Breakout, plasma pistol breakout (forgot the name) need to be removed. Husky Raid needs that spawn exploit fixed, Ground Pound Arena needs the beam rifle replaced to something different and we could use a different Infection gametype.
Here’s what I’d add:
Social Slayer
Social FFA with objective gametypes (KOTH, HH, Oddball and maybe Regicide).
Multi-Team with objective gametypes (KOTH, HH, and Oddball).
Team Snipers
Team Objective (SH, all Flag variants and all Assault variants).
Rotating gametypes which can also be included in Action Sack:
Team Fiesta
Juggernaut, Rumble Rockets, Lightning Flag, Race, and wacky fun gametypes.
My main issue is I personally want Snipers permanent.
Snipers Pro (Sniper)
Snipers (Beam Rifle & Sniper)
Team Arena - No Slayer
Slayer - Stay the same
Swat - Stay the same
Doubles - Stay the same
FFA - It would be nice to actually find a game in FFA
Breakout - Go back to the old Breakout
BTB - Stay the same
Infection - Fix the scoring system. I’ve won too many games by not having nowhere near the top amount of kills, yet still coming fist because of scoring. One could say, it’s tactics, but every time I win this way, I feel like I didn’t deserve it. just my opinion though.
Grifball - Stay the same
Action Sack - Remove Tankbore (if it’s still there) and add more variants. There’s like a million beautiful creations made by forgers, truly stunning maps… and we have like six of them.
Rotating playlist - Just one, and make it last a week at a time. I have no idea how long a normal rotating playlist is supposed to last.
Just my opinions
Team Arena - Remove slayer. We have a slayer playlist for a reason.
Slayer - Add covenant/Forerunner slayer, as well as other competitive slayer gametypes.
Swat - Add Carbine, H1CE (H1 CE pistol.), and Lightrifle SWAT gamemodes.
Doubles - Max of 2 power weapons/powerups per map. Add objective game modes.
FFA - Lower the amount of ammo that power weapons currently have (E.G. Sniper has 8 shots instead of 12, Rocket has 2 shots instead of 4, etc.)
Breakout - Remove radar. For new breakout - Replace shotgun with Scattershot (More inconsistent version of the shotgun in my opinion). Flag must be capped at enemy base to score. Add the old breakout back, but have BR be 3 bursts to kill instead of 2.
BTB - Match parties with parties. Add assault. Replace Br with Normal pistol. - Remove any/all maps that fail to support 2 or more game modes. (A map shouldn’t be in the playlist if it supports CTF, and only CTF.)
Infection - Disable parties (I’m tired of people party boosting and last man stand point boosting for wins.) Allow infected to ground pound. (There’s no harm in adding that, is there?)
Grifball - Add riftball and other grifball like variants of grifball (Because why not?)
Action Sack - Remove tankworld (Clearly not meant for 4v4). Remove Beam rifle in ground pound arena and have the pistol do no damage. Remove minotuars (Basically a free win for people in parties.) Change Husky Raid to strongholds, assault, or slayer and add spawn protection. Keep everything else the same, and add more gametypes/maps.
Rotating playlist - Muti-team - Have 4 teams instead of 3. Max 3 players per team. (Or 2 player teams, just like in Halo 3)
Rotating playlist - Team Snipers - Add magnum as a sidearm for all games (Makes Y-Y easier, and allows fights to be finished a lot quicker).Allow for the option of Halo 2 Beam rifle, the normal beam rifle, and the Binary rifle so that players aren’t forced to use the normal sniper in all of their games. Allow the use of both BTB and arena maps.
I’d like to see more incentives to play Arena. Higher XP/RP rewards, better end-of-season emblems.
Team Arena - Remove Slayer. Bring back Assault.
Slayer - Stay the same
Swat - Add carbine, lightrifle, and H2BR Swat
FFA - Stay the same
Doubles - Stay the Same
Breakout - Bring back old Breakout, but leave it ranked.
Infection - Stay the Same
BTB - Remove Friendly-Fire
Grifball - Needs an update/refresh. Add mythic Grifball (Tartarus’ Gavel and Prophets Bane)
Action Sack - Like Grifball, needs an update/refresh - more game modes - add super fiesta.
ROTATING PLAYLISTS -
Team Snipers - Add Beam Rifle and Binary Rifle.
Shotty Snipers - Add mythic shotty snipers.
action sack - husky raid more frequent, or give us 3 action sack game-types to vote from
bring back voting,only to action sack!
Team Arena
Party size min/max. A full party (3-4) should not match up against a team of randoms
Current HCS maps and game types
Best of 3 series (Your already QED up)
FFA
Current HCS maps and weapon layout (Regret, Truth, Mercy)
Increase kill count to 50
Doubles
Bring back the community 2v2 maps. They are made for 2v2 and force map rotation
Also…
Special emblems per playlist… specifically for finishing a season as a Champion. Bring back semi-pro status for the top 2,000 players (Onyx can turn into an endless grind). XP multiplier for finishing consecutive games (10,20,30, etc).
Slayer = Slayer
Not Slayer = Not Slayer
Tired of 80% of everything being slayer
Team Arena - fine
Slayer - fine
Swat- fine (don’t play it though)
Doubles - need to lose a few power weapons on Eden, 4 is too many.
FFA - like too see oddball in it.
Breakout - fine
BTB - fine, just be nice if there was some developer made maps…
Infection - fine (don’t play it though)
Grifball - fine (don’t play it though)
Action Sack - remove from playlist completely and make it rotating but when it here, have it here for 2 weeks. So pretty much here for 2 weeks, gone for 2 weeks, here for 2 weeks and so on. Then make it come with new maps, game modes etc. Every time it comes back. There is a ton of content out there. Everyone says thank world is boring but I like it. I feel the biggest problem is it should be 6-6 or 5-5 or something, not 4-4… It should have more players.
Rotating playlist - multi team
Rotating playlist - team sniper
Personally, this is the kind of set up I’d do for halo 6
