Then play goddamn Team Slayer, what's the difference? One player?
You are an idiot. Team Slayer is garbage, so is Super Slayer. I bet it's you Waypoint kids that got it removed in the first place because it never had your goddamn Armour Lock or these -blam!- community maps.

Here are the goddamn differences and I'm pretty sure most people have said the same.

1. Full teams vs Full teams, a great way for either team to communicate to the highest level, unless they are a group of casual players.

2. No Armour Lock. Am I glad to see that abomination gone, good riddance.

3. None of these garbage maps, Who the -blam!- would play on Eden Minor or Chateau?

4. The TU was a blessing, well it was, until 343 was retarded enough to remove bleedthrough, and you know why? Because of you goddamn complainers, I disliked bleedthrough, but I'm sure as hell would take that over this piece of garbage of a melee system we have now anyday.

5. Last but not least, I prefer 5v5s.

You see now why Squad Slayer trumps Team Slayer any day of the year. But nooo, 343i was so stupid to listen to these idiots over at the Waypoint forums and now we have this fail of an abortion known as Super Slayer. I've said enough.

Why even bother, really?
I rage.

It also felt like the average skill of players in squad was higher than any other playlist(excluding Mlg).
Don't get me wrong, it had its fair share of reachtards and you occasionally ran into the retarded 3 and 4 man split screen parties that all manage to go negative, however, searching with two or more other people usually solved this.
I played a bit of "super" slayer, my first game involved about 50% of people using armorlock. Played a bit more and couldn't stand it anymore.

lol, Super Slayer.

Who the -blam!- actually plays Derp Slayer's retarded twin?

Sword Base, Armor Lock ..... jesus -blam!- christ.

H4 is -blam!- doomed.

kill yourself.


No u, 'cause you can't figure out that Squad Slayer is no different from Team Slayer, albeit one player.


You must be the kind of person who opens spam email and thinks he's going to get laid.

thats because they were. because anybody with thumbs in this game realized Derp Lock was retarded.

a lot of the time when I'm trying to get an idea of someones ability to play this game, from their stats, I just go to their playlists and see where they spend most of their time.

people with a ton of time spent in Team Slayer, Living Derp, Hostball are utter trash, regardless of what their K/D suggests. I mean, I'd even go as far as to say that those playlists are home to players far worse than even BTB's general populace.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

I don't play Slayer. I have no strong feelings one way or the other towards its removal.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Nice topic and post ShadowLordDaniel.

Squad Slayer was clearly better. The only thing that could've made it a little more enjoyable would be to include a few of the bigger maps, like Highlands or Breakpoint. Those are good size maps when you are 5 vs 5. Also, Squad was better because of the longer games to 75 kills instead of 50.

I just don't understand why they removed it. If removed it because of low number, which is obviously false as others have stated, they need to cut away a few other playlist. I have yet to see Zero Bloom or Squad DLC get to 1000 people on the playlist since it was created.

This was obviously a stupid move and hopefully they can see this list made the game better. They need to bring it back.

Highlands and Breakpoint? Go lord no, those maps are way too big, how are those good sized maps for 5v5? The largest map that could of worked for Squad would be Wayont.

How are there still people not realizing how epic Squad Slayer was?

  • 03.09.2012 9:33 PM PDT

DMR + Sniper Rifle + Sprint= total demolish

I reached a predicament where I had 5 people in a lobby and there was no squad slayer... not everyone had Defiant and Noble. So, we ended up playing action sack and I got placed on the other team both times... was not fun... The host refused to play invasion, rumble pit and BTB

I loled in disbelief when I saw that the super slayer logo is an Emile helmet AR dumbass.

They want to implant the idea subliminally that everyone playing Super Slayer is a dumbass.

  • 03.10.2012 6:39 PM PDT

spiral out

What is the difference between Super Slayer and vanilla TS? I've noticed the 85% bloom and a change in name. Thats about it.

I know I'm bringing up the past but going back to Halo CE we used to play 4v4 on Blood Gultch and Sidewinder many times with no complaints. And both of those maps were approximately the same size as the 2 I mentioned. Plus when Highlands first came out with it's respective map pack it used to be played quite often with only 4v4 and there always seemed to be plenty of action for a bigger map.

When I saw it myself...I couldn't help but to think as to who might be the poor sap responsible for this.

Super Slayer can go rot in a coffin for all I care. I might have a shot at ZB at some point.
