Halo Infinite’s multiplayer beta<\/a> (essentially Season 1) was unleashed by Microsoft and 343 Industries on 15th November 2021, ahead of the game’s official 8th December release date in a not-so-surprising move<\/a>. Hundreds of thousands of bloodthirsty Spartans are already enjoying the game, despite some known issues and bugs<\/a>. In a recent article, we’ve outlined all the game modes per playlist and map<\/a> for Halo Infinite, at which point one thing became abundantly clear — there is no Slayer-only playlist.<\/p>\n

Fans are not happy about the omission of a Slayer-only playlist in Halo Infinite, nothing how this is unacceptable and calling on the developers to add one.<\/p>\n

For those new to the Spartan life, the Slayer game mode is basically Deathmatch, with the team\/player boasting the most kills at the end of a match being declared the winner. <\/p>\n

Halo Infinite has four playlists at launch, namely Ranked Arena, Bot Bootcamp, Big Team Battles and Quick Play. None of these allows players to just pick the Slayer mode.<\/p>\n

Due to the lack of a Slayer-only playlist in Halo Infinite’s multiplayer beta, Spartans have to face the reality that they need to participate in objective-based game modes such as Capture the Flag and Strongholds. <\/p>\n

One Redditor created a thread<\/a> explaining that: “I honestly feel like the lack of option to choose between Slayer and Objective is unacceptable. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that from a AAA title.<\/p>\n

“I almost never have fun playing Objective without my friends, so when I’m solo I just want to play Slayer. I can’t believe the game launched without the ability to choose between Slayer and Objective.”<\/p>\n

It appears many players simply don’t want to be forced to play a game mode they don’t enjoy, which does make a whole lot of sense.<\/p>\n

Reddit user xRaen noted<\/a> that this is their “#1 issue right now”, explaining that: “All else can be forgiven, but I don’t have any fun with CTF. I just want to shoot dudes.”<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that players had the option in previous Halo titles to choose a Slayer-only option, which is probably why some Spartans are causing a ruckus right now.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, developer 343 industries have not responded to the “requests” for a Slayer-only playlist. <\/p>\n
