Some Halo fans have been disappointed that there is a lack of Assault and Oddball. However, it's been confirmed that playlists will be adjusted over time providing different ways to play.

Warzone is being given a lot of attention, which is to be expected given it's an ambitious addition to the Halo universe. It's worth noting that Big Team Battle will be making a presence with its own playlist during or shortly after launch week. In other words, if you don't see your favorite Halo playlist above, that doesn't mean it won't make the transition to Halo 5: Guardians.

Halo 5: Guardians is just two weeks from release, arriving on October 27th exclusively for Xbox One.
