Multiplayer Gameplay Modes
Slayer
Slayer is your traditional deathmatch mode. In Slayer, everybody is on their own, and the goal is to kill as many of your opponents as possible. The first person to make a certain number of kills (25 by default) wins the match. If nobody has reached the score by the end of a time limit, the player with the most kills wins.Slayer strategies are both simple and complex. Know your weapons and how to use them effectively against human opponents. Learn your way around the maps so that you know how to find power-ups, medical kits, and your favorite weapons. Keep moving; if you stand still for more than a few seconds, you will likely die. Slayer is the simplest of the game modes, but represents the core gameplay of all of the other modes. Get good at Slayer and you can excel in any mode.
Variants:
Team SlayerTeam Slayer is just like Slayer, except that the players are divided into two teams. Instead of individual kills, the first team to get to a higher number of total kills (normally 50) wins. Play just like you would Slayer, but just be careful with area-of-effect weapons (like grenades, rockets, and flamethrowers); it is easy (and bad) to kill your own teammates.
Classic Slayer
This variant is just like Slayer, but the default number of kills required to win is 15 instead of 25. Don't expect to see PC-version weapons in Classic Slayer, either.
Classic Slayer Pro
This Slayer variant keeps the number of kills required to win at 25, but each player starts the game with a pistol, an assault rifle, and two grenades. PC-version weapons and vehicles are absent.
Classic Team Slayer
Just like regular Team Slayer, the first side to get 50 kills wins. To balance things out between experienced and new players, each time you get a kill, it slows you down a bit. Each time you die speeds you up. Only X-Box version weapons and vehicles will be found.
Classic Elimination
Using only weapons and vehicles from the original X-Box version of Halo, Classic Elimination plays a lot like Slayer, except that each player has only one life. The last player left alive is the winner.
Classic Phantoms
Classic Phantoms is a variation on the Classic Slayer theme. In it, every player has a permanent active camouflage. In other words, every player is invisible, save for a slight telltale shimmering effect. Your targets have waypoints, though, making it possible to find them.
Classic Endurance
Classic Endurance is a unique take on Slayer. The basics are simple: every player has only five lives, and the first player to score ten kills wins. To make it more complicated, every time you die, your respawn wait time increases by five seconds. Every time you make a kill, it decreases by five seconds. To add to the confusion, one player must always be dead. Therefore, every time you die, you must wait until another player dies to take your place before you can respawn.
Classic Rockets
In Classic Rockets, every player spawns with only a rocket launcher. Furthermore, the only weapons you will find will be more rocket launchers (or grenades). To increase the carnage, motion trackers are disabled in this mode. Keep moving, and remember to aim at the ground or a wall instead of at your victim, and you'll do fine.
Classic Snipers
This is very similar to Classic Rockets, but here everybody has a sniper rifle and a pistol (plus a pair of grenades).
