Thanks for the intel P34nut, looking forward to Halo 5's multiplayer a little more now.

[Caboose The Ace]

I don't think its anywhere near as strong as the Halo 4 launch playlists but its good nevertheless.

 

Thanks for sharing Nutty!

[Guts]

There's a lot more maps at launch than I thought.

 

Nice article P34nut

Inb4 freak out over No Doubles or Snipers (even though they're probably going to be in the game within a month anyway through the weekend playlist,)

 

The world would have ended had Swat not existed.

I just can't imagine how the community would've reacted if SWAT wasn't there.
Kinda disappointed that Infected is there, hopefully it makes a fully customisable feature within Customs.

@Azaxx

That was what I was wondering as well. More gametypes should surely be available in custom games, gametypes like infection. If not, people will probably flood the Waypoint forums and it'll be added in no time.

My only significant gripe is that there is no dedicated Objective Playlist. Sure, it may be a very small population compared to others, but it still makes me saltier than the Bonneville Salt Flats. CTF is my go-to mode.

 

Oh, and no hooplah goof-off mode. Me sad indeed. Though breaking my knuckles in Breakout will relieve some of the tension.

Depending on how successful the objective gametypes in H5G are, I imagine 343i will make their own playlists. But seeing as the past few Halo games haven't had large populations in those playlists it's not worth it at launch. The best idea is to confine everybody to a very small amount of choices to maximize the concentration of players.

I saw SWAT, all that matters.

 

H5 is best Halo.
