My Youtube channel, i post Halo gameplays and clips. :)

So, the topic of this thread is related to how easy a game experience within a playlist is, for you. This could be deduced on K/D or Win/Loss or just your opinion.
Obviously playlists such as MLG are more difficult than ...Living Dead, for example.
But what about 'Competitive' playlists such as Team Slayer, Team Snipers, Team Swat and Big Team Battle? I personally find that Team Swat and Team Snipers tend to have inexperienced players in them. I don't know why...
Example of Team Snipers
Which playlists do you find the easiest and why? Or do you find that they are all mostly balanced?

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Anniversary squad is relatively easier than most playlists for me, and so is standard BTB. Invasion is easy to get kills in, but I never have a team that wins anymore, and thus, 50% W/L.
Hard ones? Arena and MLG(lol .4 K/D there).

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

MLG/Arena I would say are the hardest or most competitive, I find Swat/Snipers/BTB and especially Team Slayer to be very easy, since the average players play them.

Obviously arena depends on division...
But I agree with Team Slayer being easy. I think that most new players to the game go straight to team slayer as its pretty simple to get the grip of. I can't imagine a new player understanding invasion...

Does it really matter which playlists you find easy? Why not just play for fun?

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Yes. Arena and MLG > Everything else in terms of difficulty.


MLG>Arena>Everything else

Infection or grifball I would say is the easiest, maybe multi team also. Swat most skil in term of headshots but I think BTB is very competive if you are going for the win.

I'll be honest, full team = win.

I would say MLG is the hardest, because I got destroyed in the only two games I played in it. The spawning screwed me up, and I had no idea where any of the important weapons had been moved to.

Arena's search times are atrocious, so I have not ever played enough to be rated. Of my unrated games, I found the competition to be similar to lolteamslayer. Only seven games played this season with two perfections.

Even with the two hard playlists, I never considered Reach to be competitive.

btb is super easy. ts is also super easy most of the time. same with multiteam, living dead, rumble pit, squad slayer, swat, snipers and ya. but btb is the easiest

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Anniversary Classic=easiest by far. That and the awareness of people is pretty funny

All playlists are easy it just depends on who you get matched up against.

Yes, but this is about which playlists you tend to find the competition to be a little weaker. Thus making the playlist easier overall

Team Slayer is the easiest. That playlist is the cesspool of unskilled and generally terrible players.

Not at all. The only thing that's hard about the Arena is search times, dealing with the awful maps and the jetpack. You would think it's hard though, what with you being boosted to it and all.
