Most popular multiplayer game mode? (New here)

[DatsiK.]

^title. I never played HALO before, so what is the most popular multiplayer game mode of reach?

[TheFranubian]

Social > BTB (Big Team Battle)
Social > Team Slayer
Social > FFA (Free For All)
Social > SWAT
Competitive > specially Invasion

I do recommend trying out BTB and Invasion after a couple of team slayer matches. There are a ♥♥♥♥ ton of other modes (king of the hill, oddball, capture the flag, races, doubles, grifball, snipe, SWAT Magnum, etc.), but those are the most popular.

If we go with what it used to be from memory. SWAT, Infection and Griffball was usually the most active of the social game modes

Grifball used to be so much fun until people spammed it for credits. Basically just hog the ball and wait out the clock. This new system makes that pointless and brings the fun back into the game

Thank you for your fast help guys

i think it's prob worth just using the "any" playlist too, pretty sure it goes through all the 4v4 modes and you can just stick to what you like the most later. If you wanted to try some non-4v4 modes you'd have to set that up seperately tho, but there is BTB and Infection playlists. I haven't done the competitive modes so I can't comment on those though.

either way, try everything tbh. There's a lot of stuff in Halo. I was always fond of Swat, Oddball, Juggernaut, and 2v2 CTF in the Halo 2 and 3 days. Todays the first day I've personally played Reach though so I wouldn't know what's all different from 2 and 3 outside of the abilities and stuff.
