1) 1v1 This would be an awsome playlist! It's like lone wolves, except with one other person. It would be ranked, so you'll always be playing with someone equal to you. They'll also be know rank taken away from quitting, so people won't "de-rank" and own noobs unfairly. Instead, YOU WILL BE BANNED! Lol jk, you'll lose exp. You'd also always get small maps like Guardian, The Pit and Foundry. 2) Infection Why they didn't add this playlist long ago, I don't know. Infection is (correct me if I'm wrong) most players' favorite game variant. It could even have some of the many infection mini-games, like Hobo Heights (Sandhobo, probably) and Mice 'n Tremors. The playlist would probobly be a social kinda thing, so you'll get exp but not skill. 3) FFA Objective I've always thought Rumble Pit should be it's own playlist CATEGORY, with stuff like FFA Slayer, FFA Objective, etc. I think that it's too general. Players should be given a choice on FFA. Maybe even throw in Juggernaut and stuff like that as their own playlists. 4) Tourney (my best idea) Every Saturday (7th day, Bungie's favorite number. But it'll probably be on Sunday, too) there should be a playlist called Tourney (or tournement, I think Tourney sounds cooler. You know, something Bungie would put). This isn't one of those big Recon tournements, though. It starts with 16 people. Every game, whoever comes out on last place is removed from the party. Gametypes/maps keep being randomly selected until one player comes out on top! TELL ME WHATCHA THINK!!! EDIT: I just thought of this! A ForgeHub playlist! Instead of playing Bungie's boring forge maps (like "Cubed", lame map), it would play all the best maps from ForgeHub. Best of all, it would be run by the admins/mods here at ForgeHub!
I think that the infection playlist would be AMAZING! It would have a lot of community maps too. I think there should also be a community Slayer playlist... basically all community maps and all made for FFA, or slayer. I think that would be really awesome!
Lol, for 1v1, you forgetting Head to Head so soon? I don't think we're going to get another one. Anyway the tourney idea sounds good but it doesn't sound codable. Otherwise I like the ideas.
A good majority of these playlists sound like something that's been done and failed, or something that's there already. As redearth said, Head to Head was 1v1 with custom variants of maps that had less power weapons and those power weapons on a longer respawn timer. Tremor 'n' Mouse has honor rules which would not work in matchmaking, and infection is good enough as a Double XP weekend. Rumble Pit on its own is fine, because if Bungie kept throwing in playlists for every specific gametype, other playlists would suffer a lack of players and some of the new ones them selves (I don't think many people would be jumping for joy for a Juggernaut playlist). Rumble pit has every FFA gametype, which is 100% fine. So this would pretty much be the Valentines day doubles tournement, but with 16 players and every Saturday? That doesn't sound appealing, especially because it sounds like a spawn killing, kill stealling nightmare. This is the only good idea from the lot, probably. Although it would be better a DXP weekend with Forge variants, not a community specific playlist. Shutting people's work out because they are not a member of a site is pretty idiotic.
1) 1V1 was taken out like redearth said. 2) There's the double experience play list, Living Dead. 3) There occasionally is an objective variant when playing Lone Wolves/Rumble Pit. And your fourth idea kind of sounds neat, I don't know how such a game would be implemented though. I just thought you ought to know that there's tons of websites out there related to Halo, Bungie won't have their play lists dedicated to Forge Hub content. Even though that would be really cool to have Forgehub's content on Halo's match making it just doesn't seem like a reasonable to move to make in Bungie's position. That's why there's always Atlas.
Also, you sometimes get infection in rumble pit every once in a while. Doesn't really matter to me though, as the only things I ever really play are BTS and double exp weekend. I'd just rather have better quality maps for big team slayer rather than a new playlist, because some of them are honestly just JUNK. If I could have a new playlist, it would probably be conquest and infection...
they need a UGC playlist..a entire playlist dedicated to User Generated Content from gametypes to maps. and if not game types then just maps.there are some realy sick maps out there that will never get the attention they deserve without a playlist like this i dunno how easy or hard this would be for bungie to set up but its certianly somthing to think about.they should run it through forge hub since there are literaly hundreds of great maps that get posted on here. but i do understand that bungie dont have the time to be downloading and testing out aload of player maps and game types
I have an idea that I like, that I would like to see Bungie go for. for like a double xp weekend type deal, do nothing but racing maps. the playlist would be called Mongoose Derby. All maps would be off of forge hub and would have to be double wide and what not. Gametypes would include Racetracks and Battle Tracks. hows that?
They definetly need a conquest playlist. I love conquest and I've been thinking that Bungie should do this. They would include the best conquest maps in it. I'm not sure if it should be in ranked or social. It can get pretty competitive. I don't know. What do you guys think?
I think a good one would be MLG FFA Also I think a great idea would be to have a playlist where you host a game and map of your choice, like custom games but players would join like they would in matchmaking. It would search for them and you could choose to host a game or join one
It looks like some of them have been test, Highlited in Yellow BY the way 1v1 or head to head used to be a playlist Dropped Playlists AWOL Grab Bag Community Carnage - Could Also Be People made maps Custom Carnage Rumble Hardcore Rumble Challenge - Sounds like objective Team Challenge Bungie Tournament Major League Gaming 7th Column Big Team Slayer Team Snipers Infection Territories CTF Team Pro Rumble Pro Tournament Of Champions Weekend Warrior Race Big Team Skirmish Rumble Training Double Team Training Team Training Big Team Training Multi-Team Training Action Sack Elimination Phantoms Swordplay Escort Secret Service Hammer Time Laser Tag Bungie.net All Stars King Of The Hill Oddball Assault VIP Juggernaut 1v1 - used to be a playlist 2v2 Rat's Nest Standoff Foundry Hardcore Skirmish Zone Control Team Zone Control DLC Playground Forge Playground Warehouse Playground Warehouse Playground Oldschool Riot Fiesta Marty Party Bungie Community Team Sack Team CTF Team King Team Territories Team Assault Team VIP Team Oddball MLG Presents Forge Galore - Sound like you would play on maps people made Social Control Lunatic Night Bungie Favorites Weekend War Purgatory Ferrex's Fun Sack! Holiday Hopper Bungie Invitational Bungie Challenge LIVE Tournament Avalanche Ghost Town Blackout Cold Storage Assembly Longshore Citadel Heretic Sandbox Orbital And if they have tried and denied it i dont think they would add it Link
My two playlists that I would want in would be a forgehub playlist and a battletracks playlist. 1 on 1 is definetely a no no. There are to many HLG players out there, and there are way too many ways to cheat. Therefor making the playlist very frustrating and unpopular.
1) Was done before and was removed 2) No. Be satisfied with the Living Dead double exp playlist... that's the most Infection you will ever see in MM. 3) Rumble Pit has a pretty even balance between Slayer and Objective gametypes. 4) The only idea you have that could work. I like the concept. What would the winner of each tournament receive? 5 exp?
Conquest should definitely not be its own playlist, but have a major part in a user made playlist. It'd definitely be social though.
One word..... Agents. This is the most intense gametype ever created. It takes tons of skill, strategy and teamwork. There is absolutely no reason bungie shouldnt make this a playlist. Oh, and also racetracks would be fun...especially with the edition of sandbox. Some simply amazing racemaps have been crafted out of sandbox
A 24/7 brawl playlist - ranked 12 person ffa head to head - bring it back even if it is social idc just brink it back! MLG FFA - 5/6 people Ranked multi-team (with BR starts) guardian playlist :-D (half kidding) I wouldn't play but would be cool social doubles infection social grifball (I'd hate them but ya it would be cool) and add gametypes like all new: BR sniper start Snipes (1 hit kill additional point for headshot.) social games: Lasertag lasers multiteam snipers bigteam swat big team snipers rumble pit fiesta double exp: duckhunt sniperpit mini games etc
I was thinking of a way to fix this and I came up with something: Head to Head to Head. 1v1v1. It could be called "three-way" or "threesomes" or something. No power weapons; no objectives except maybe a FFA territories gametype and Juggernaut; BR starts, AR secondary. I like your FFA Objective idea a lot too. Also, make Grifball the double exp weekend playlist less often and add it to Social Skirmish and Social Team DLC.
