By derpface123 Go To PostI assume these aren't the final playlists but if they are an indicator of anything that may make it to release, I will say this.Quite certain they wouldn't do that
We do not need a playlist called "Team Tactical" that contains Breakout and SWAT, and then a dedicated "Breakout" playlist and dedicated "SWAT" playlist. That's a sickening amount of overlap when every playlist should offer something at least partially fresh or unique from the others.
Double post cause fuck you
Edit - I even fucked that up. Drunk post? Drunk post.
By Invert Go To PostStrongholds is like domination. 3 points on the map that you have to take control of. I think you need 2+ areas under control to score points if I remember correctly.Strongholds is a lot better for domination IMO.
Far more viable for the losing team to mount a comeback. There's no scrappy points.
If you're wondering why that list seems to have a ton of unneeded overlap, perhaps you can deduce what the context surrounding the list must have been.
I wouldn't worry about the final product having overlap like that.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostUm… They said that btb wouldn't be there at launch so that list… FishyThe list makes a whole lot more sense with context.
By jem0208 Go To PostStrongholds is a lot better for domination IMO.For sure man, I enjoyed it more than TS in the beta.

By jem0208 Go To PostThe list makes a whole lot more sense with context.Knowing the context now. Yeah. But at the same time having big team there on that pic above is not correct to launch Halo 5 as we know it. (Who the fuck is dumb enough to break NDA)

was waiting for this, kek

I don't know how much the rest of you know about NDA culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it.
By Captain Friendo Go To PostI'm losing track of this fast what's going on with the playlists fellas?Apparently there was a community survey asking about potential halo 5 playlists. Based on the image.
By daedalius Go To PostI may have mentioned something about ricochet somewhere<3
By LoopOfHenle Go To PostApparently there was a community survey asking about potential halo 5 playlists. Based on the image.Cheers
By daedalius Go To PostI may have mentioned something about ricochet somewhereWe needs it. Its is the preciouses
Richochet with Halo 5's movement and sandbox is too good to pass up on, I also like the mode more than any other objective gametype say for CTF. It's really quite awesome.
h5 needs every gametype ever created in Halo, even if only like 1/4th of them are used in playlists. I want to play fucking Stockpile with Spartan abilities.
Its all about them #options
edit: Also FFA is about to be fucking amazing with armor abilities. I hope they have HCS events for FFA too.

By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostFFA's and 1v1's need to return.Fun idea for a map: series of 1v1 sized arenas connected with teleporters, complete with scripting that turns off teleporters in arenas with 2 players in them. Kill your opponent to escape.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostFFA's and 1v1's need to return.I'd dig some 1v1's with the new abilities.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostFFA's and 1v1's need to return.
Whats cool is the maps we've seen so far seem big, but with the better movement, 1v1s are even viable it seems. No more small forge maps (though I won't mind them either way)
I hope Truth isn't the go-to FFA map like Midship has been in the past. I think Regret looks better for FFA.
By LoopOfHenle Go To PostLeaker just shot themselves in the foot.Haha

I really want remakes of Guardian and Narrows from 3. I loved those maps. Guardian would be hard with sprint now in the game.
Just two nights ago a mate went perfect on Gemini with something like 20k and 0d and received the good ol' Lockout 1v1 XBL message from a guy on the other team. So fucking good to taste those XBL message tears in a working party chat with your mates again.
4 minutes later the party chat shit itself, everyone restarted MCC, shit didn't find any games and we called it a night. It wasn't going to get any better than that.
With the leader waypoint indicator? trololololol

Yupp, with the new abilities 1v1's could be really interesting. Although I'm fine with Forge maps, hopefully the new maps will be alright to section off areas that make sense for 1v1's.

/Raises hand meekly
Uhm, I don't actually know why...
I have to echo as well that Ricochet has to be my favorite objective mode at the moment. It cant truly shine in Halo 5 with all the spartan abilities. I am getting too hyped just thinking about all the crazy clutch plays that can happen !

By AnonomissX Go To Post/Raises hand meeklyJealous of his swag of course.
Uhm, I don't actually know why…
Not to mention he puts a more positive face on the xbox brand which clearly isn't well liked there, hence why every thread about him becomes a complete shit show in under 5 posts.
Playing H4 on MCC i keep catching myself attempting to clamber during jumps. Guess i got a bit too used to it in the beta. Oct can't come soon enough...

Well, then, heh.
I loved the heck out of my 360, and the Xbone seems like such an underpowered clusterfuck from what was developed and promised as the next gen console. The sluggish response to any commands, the clonky counter-intuitive user interface, the hey-let's-snap-a-party-and-wait-60-seconds-to-load is genuinely a frustrating, expensive for me step backwards. But to be fair, there is hope on the horizon with the new UI reveal, with what is supposed to be a much faster response time.
I'm waiting with 'bated breath to finally be pleased with my purchase, and I am looking at my options for getting the Taken King Destiny expansion, so overwhelming hate for xbox is really not in my vocabulary.

Apparently the new UI update we'll be getting before years end is supposed to focus on responsiveness. The UI is a mess and while I don't care much for the PS4's layout, it's certainly snappier.
This feels like old HaloGAF. Sleep for a handful of hours and have like 3 pages to read lol.
Dat playlist tho. SWAT better be a dedicated playlist and not a rotational one.

On a somewhat related note. The community survey program is open to all now not just the U.S. you just have to sign up.
By link1201 Go To PostI agree.It's been open for a while I thought.

I've definitely been doing surveys since the beta and I'm in the UK.
What does SWAT even stand for? Super Weapon Attack Training? Special Weapons Assault Team? Silly Weasel Analyzes Trout?
By jem Go To PostIt's been open for a while I thought.it has but I noticed several people seemed like they weren't involved so I thought I'd mention it in case they thought it was still only U.S. or EU

Special Weapons and Tactics.
By CRIMSONxSERAPH Go To PostWhere do I sign up for the survey?I would have linked it earlier but my phone isn't allowing me to paste on this forum.

My suggestion would be:
Ranked
Team Slayer
HCS
Team Objective
Breakout
Doubles
Unranked
Warzone
Action Sack/Social Weekend
SWAT
Infection
Rotational
Snipers
Grifball
Ricochet
Race

I agree with this list. Just needs Big Team Battle in the Unranked section.

If you're going for accuracy then why is Warzone in the playlists? Warzone is completely separate, like Spartan Ops was in Halo 4.
Also, I made a poll about what gamemode everyone will play first: http://strawpoll.me/5209844

Every time Warzone has been mentioned, it is referred to as "completely separate from Arena multiplayer". If, come launch day, Warzone is just a playlist and not its own "WARZONE" option in the multiplayer menu, I will eat an original-flavor Triscuit... without any toppings. Eugh.
I do hope they keep the most gametypes they can ranked. I think it helps make matches more competitive and fun. I don't like one sided matches. No guests will help too I suppose.
