After a week, what are everyone's thoughts on the new Squad Battle playlist? (self.halo)

Back on Tuesday, 343 released the Squad Battle playlist - an 8v8 playlist reminiscent of BTB modes from past Halo games, with Forge remakes of Valhalla, Rat's Nest, and Zanzibar/Last Resort.

Personally this playlist is the most fun I've had playing Infinite since release. The three maps are very well-made and faithful to the originals, while still implementing features for Infinite's unique sandbox and characteristics that make the maps work.

All the reactions I've seen to the playlist have been largely positive and it seems to have the quickest queue times/highest population out of all the current playlists over the past week. I sincerely hope that 343 makes this a permanent playlist, while continuing to add new maps or modes to it.

I wanted to ask what everyone's opinion was on the playlist, maps, and modes for Squad Battle! What do you love about it? Is there anything you'd want changed? Should it stay as a permanent playlist?

Yep it's great - Everyone liked that status.

It should stay around and they should turn the speed up as much as possible to populate it with more maps.

They have most of the things they need to relaunch the game IMO and they don't need to spend COD money on marketing to bring the population back to a long-term sustainable level.

Bring the customs browser to the main menu Release forge AI & firefight and spotlight in event Rotate all events since launch 1/Month for relaunch Weekends are double XP. Period. Curate forge maps and populate playlists with bests Time it all with a book release and an HCS tournament Add in real, amazing rewards to career progression Make this a community first game and constantly spotlight community maps and modes and new missions

There's your relaunch and path for the next year of 10k players/day which is a realistic goal
