Subject: should Rocket Race be back as its own playlist ?

I don't get the logic behind the move in Halo 3.
Moving what was a "casual" game type in Rocket race the the then markedly "pro" list of Team Doubles, I seriously never understood the move, the thing being I would go in wanting to play rocket race and the "pro" community in there would have no interest in rocket race wanting to play the slayer variant.
I still don't get why its still there in Reach.
So should Rocket race be moved either to its own playlist (hey griffball and living dead have their own lists) or should it at the very least be put with all the other variant games in the action sack playlist ?

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

No it's fine as is. Multi Team is a joke anyway and a RR playlist would be dead.

Not really I never found it to be dead when it existed on Halo 3. Would it be dead because people can't boost anything and it would just exist as fun with no real way to abuse it for extra numbers etc.

Hence the competitive community would be strangely up in arms again because they oddly can't seem to see any playlist as valid to exist unless it meets their exact competitive criteria, those being
1) lets me stack teams
2) lets me win easy
3) lets me boost my numbers

In halo 3 it was a double xp playlist on the weekend. That's why it wasn't dead.

Nobody brought up the competitive commun ity and honestly they wouldn't care about RR

When was Rocket Race EVER in Doubles?

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Ew no.

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

I think it should. THat or Grifball, Infection, and RR should all be one playlist.

Yep, another retard confirmed.

Newsflash: Rocket Race was only popular in Halo 3 because it gave double exp. The same as Grifball. Grifball isn't very popular now.

And, for your information, I consider the criteria to be competitive:

1) No random factors like bloom
2) No skill devoid aspects like ARs or Armor Lock
3) Matches teams of similar size (Teams of 4 can't match randoms)

They could, but then it would be Action Sack 2.

It had its own single playlist in social before bungie put in EXP ranks for social so the only exp was the main exp thing so playing rocket race was just like playing any other playlist exp wise, also lots of playlists in their time did get double exp weekends etc for them.

yeh but no Shotty snipes, speed camp, sorry speedpile, speed flag and weapon X capture X ones and no dinoblasters or power slayer.
Seriously why in action sack is shotty snipes there when team snipers has its own playlist ?

Still, it would have enough gametypes to be AS2.

Rocket Race is awful, I used to play just multi-team and nothing else and would rage quit whenever it was selected. If people want to play it then let them...but in their own playlist.

So yes is my answer.
